Jayson Tatum has been surrounded by high end talent for years. If they don’t win it this year, media will pounce on him.
Jrue plays a lot of iso ball and is slow in making PG decisions. Boston is a faster team than he was used to playing for. He was too slow for Giannis – it was always a point of frustration and Giannis had to demand the ball. Jrue is also ball dominant – I wonder how that will work with Tatum & Jaylen who also like to run the offense, especially now that Smart is gone. There's nobody there to give them leadership and keep them in line. Boston and their fans are just looking at the numbers on the paper…chemistry is going to be big issue.
The guy on the far right is wrong. Ball handling will not be an issue for the Bucks. Everyone knows that Giannis, Khris & Jrue brought the ball, it'll be the same with Dame. He's just plugging in for Jrue but better for their offense in termsof offense & pace, he's more quick, has better decision-making and more clutch than Jrue.
If you cut the clip off and stop listening at 8:05 you'd think this was an all round sensible discussion.
But dude ruined it after that by saying the Bucks weren't as good defensively. Bro they have Giannis & Lopez in their front court. Giannis the best two way player and Lopez nearly won defensive player of the year. Stop the cap man. 😅
It's gonna be Rob William's 6th year, it's past 'developing'
Yea and no I mean they were hurting at the point guard position Malcom is injury prone then it’s like yea they lost Robert but he’s injury prone to but horford just keeps getting older and older teams can exploit him on d
We are loaded so players don't mind Boston
These guys are WAY too high on rob williams… 'dominant player with the ball in his hands'… Rob Williams will NEVER be a prime offense guy.. he's awesome at what he does, he's smart, he has greta passing for a big…but he was never going to evolve into a 3rd option type guy behind the Jays… that's delusional… I doubt Rob retires with one full season under his belt.
Whoever dude is he has No idea what he's taking about 😂, needs to shut up and sit back and get your popcorn ready.."don't know if he fits with the Bucks 😂…
Who’s this Cerrone guy?? lol he thinks the Celtics are thin but the suns are loaded?? lol
Chris forsberg looks like the president from Monsters vs Aliens
People in Boston denying that IRVING was and is RIGHT. bost is SUPER RACIST. The players know this but people try to pretend it isn't true. Look at all the races and Bill Russell went through. Look at the fact that the Red Sox were one of the last teams to enter great people of color into their team that's Boston
Why does everyone push the narrative that “Smart has an ego & he forced it taking the big shots”
As a long time Celtic fan, I can remember pretty much every big shot he’s taken, at least in recent times, and I gotta say I never really had a problem with it 🤷♂️ and if you did, blame the coaching.
What you see on the floor, especially in those huge moments late in close games, is a direct result of the head coach and his staff
First time hearing Cerrone Battle and very impressed.
Felger Boston is where it’s at bro
Boston y'all really f** ked urselves Grats on trading ur Defensive anchor Williams 👌
Come on Boston go for Boogie or Dwight
Get Daniel Theis back!
What do they see in Luke Kornet? I mean anytime he is out there he is being out classed in every way. You can’t rely on a reserve to handle that 2nd unit and Luke ain’t that guy
Love Time lord but go back and watch during playoffs last year Time lord was not in during crunch time. He has not once showed me he can play minutes.
Now they should Sign Dwight Howard !
Stop disrespecting Marcus Smart… dude didnt have an ego..
If it ain’t broke you don’t fix it. They were there in 21-22. Instead of changing the team that went to the finals…they should have fired the woman that had sex with the coach and kept the coach.
Joe Mazzula is as clueless as Joe Biden. The team did not need to change, instead they could have improved within themselves. The leadership is what needs a shakeup. In the end both the bucks and the celts are just pushing it around…
As for Giannis, who I thought had character, he should be great full that he even has a chip, and he should be looking in the mirror after that laughable loss to the Heat.
Jrue is extremely good but he's old. 😢
coach is the weakest link and biggest barrier to a championship
The guy on the far right doesn't have a good take. He saw Jrue got cooked against miami? I like Djrue but , the Bucks is the best rightnow. Im a Miami fan.
It will take time for this new team to build synergy. Let’s not get excited gentlemen! Championship teams don’t mesh that quickly unless you have a Doc Rivers level leader. Joe Mazzula ain’t pulling off a 2008. Hopefully they can sign Jrue for a few more years.
