Hearing Giannis talking about how there is no worrying about who is gonna have the ball more because Dame is gonna have the ball more was really exciting. I think by the end of the year he could be a fantastic screen setter both in terms of opening his guy up and opening himself up.
Marjon's line looked good but it was painful to watch seems like he would stack like 6-7 really mediocre dribble moves to get a mediocre shot. Looked fine elsewhere.
Anyways AJax was out there looking to be more impressive in the areas we want marjon to be. Lots of size at the 2 between those too. Maybe Ajax just looks smoother out there with his better ball handling and passing ability…
Why would you take chance at injuring them lol no don't play them or anyone until reg season. If you can't afford reg season tic… Then move Florida and go when they play Orlando like I do tickets plenty cheap lol 😂
I know its only the 1st preseason game but didnt see any solid improvement in Marj…Defence especially is still very mediocre.
Much better defence by the rook Andre Jackson.
What I like is it genuinely looks like those 3-4 guys are genuinely fighting for that 5th spot. Actually really liked the look of Beasley thought he’d be much worse defensively.
I think Jackson defense if ser give him shot could be huge. We got lot guys that can do things we just need use them and he needs sub put guys in places suceed. I was happy see young guys do good
Beasley looked pretty good.
Ok, almost recovered from the last post season, my therapist might disagree though. Got the game recorded, even without Giannis and Dame and only preseason, it is so good to have the Bucks back in my life! Can't wait for this train to really get rolling!
Ive been a Bucks fan my whole life (since '94) was supportive and a fan through all our rough years.. I cheered for Ray Allen (for a short time) Sam Cassell, Moe Williams, Michael Redd, Andrew Bogut, Carlos Delfino, Monta Ellis, Brandon Jennings, and many others that i hoped might change the outlook of our franchise.. none really did until we drafted Giannis (I thought maybe Jabari Parker would) but none did. Until Giannis. And the years since than have been so incredible (and sometimes frustration with our talents) but im so thankful with us being a small market team being where we are.. especially after the Dame trade ( who would have thought this would happen?!?!?) have loved watching Locked on Bucks podcast and listening/learning and following the Bucks with this channel. But Frank Madden is a bum, and you need to get rid of him. He's not beneficial for this or any other channel. Ive seen many posts calling him out, and its time to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about
After having a almost total and complete lack of shot creation and playmaking from the guard position the last year and a half the Bucks now have Lillard Payne Beasly….gonna have defensive issues with those 3 but im confident in Brook and Giannis ability to cover up for some of that
When you have players like Giannis and Lillard you want shooters and guys who can cut and pass. Beauchamp has such a slow first step. Pat, Jackson and Beasley should have the lead in the rotation.
marjon looked good. The defense will be the key
Personally, I enjoyed the game just fine. I don’t mind that Damien and Giannis weren’t there in the first of five preseason games. There are much bigger things to be concerned with. I believe that they will be there eventually; they have to be in order to get into rhythm, but this game gave us opportunity to see other players step up, and I was excited about that. This is my first time seeing the Bucks since the end of last season (summer league, notwithstanding) and there are other interesting players beyond the top stars. Can’t tell anyone how to “fan”; enjoy the game however you want, but I didn’t find it boring at all. Really enjoyed what I saw from Andre Jackson.
MJB coming for that MIP
Who says marjon is a good player ..of low excellence no other moves but to take shot …even so reluctant and undecided … no chance to be a solid cager…
i was disappointed like 1 hour before the game knowing the main actors wont be on the stage from Eric N, but the young guys worth the 1am -330am watch, happy to see Majon get his shots up, but i think he still got a long way to go, 3 turnovers were too much
Let's not act like Bulls didn't have their starters start the game. Just a glimpse of how active, and tough Bucks will be to beat.
Wouldn’t this be episode 1001 for Kane? Appreciate the effort nonetheless!
Ty ty Look real solid on offense. He moves like Tyrese maxey but he's definitely not as quick
Frank said they play the Lakers Tues. It's actually Memphis. They will play the Lakers Sunday the 15th. It'll be on ESPN…we might actually get to see Dame and Giannis play…
Beasley's biggest issues are defense and the blackhole mentality he sometimes has. When he was on the T-Pups he really upgraded his game from a marginal player to a go-to scorer. He needs to find a different role which I think he can handle.
Marjon is very impressive. Everyone that plays with Giannis just becomes better
I'd like to see more Gortman/Moore as opposed to Wigginton. I feel like we know what we're getting wth him.
