What was your favourite part of Damian Lillard's Milwaukee debut?
No sound
My favorite part was how they were double teaming Lillard immediately. That's what stood out to me. This is a pre season. Seemed like they were guarding him like it was the playoffs.😅
Giannis is going to really dominate this year
naybe people disagree havent watched the pod yet but i thought the offense when dame and giannis were out together was awesome. they were generating wide open looks and def missed some passes. i think once they get used to the coverages defenses throw at them its gonna be amazing.
Dame loomed like he was playing with 60% intensity, I liked it. It felt like DBS Goku fighting at base level.
Dame having 3steals is a wake up call
After hearing all the time that he is a liability in defense
Preseason or not, i think we can be comfortable here
He didn't force the game at all, and that is very positive. Certainly we will avoid some Harden or Kyrie situation.
I really liked Marjons efficiency in low minutes, that’ll be important for him
Really liked Cam Payne I think he may end up being a much better pick up that we think.
Pat seems to have new life in him feeling a really good year for Pat
Still have no idea who that 5th starter will be though. Loving that they all seem to be fighting for it though.
Going to try to make it through this but I hate when Frank is on here
Does Frank actually like Milwaukee? I don’t think the dude can find a positive anywhere. Even slapping Giannis with some “needs to lose weight” WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MAN. What will make you happy? Obviously not a generational player.
Frank. Yanking the brakes on the hype train.. thanks bud 😐. I on the otherhand believe💪. 82 and 0, lets go!
Man nobody rambles as hard as frank. Lmfao. Get to the point frank, jesssuuus. Takes 5 min to spit out a viewpoint that could be conveyed in 30 secs lol.
All love tho.
I hope dame makes mvp over there because theres been a couple years where he should have atleast been in the talk but the nba doesn't work that way
NO MORE FRANK SLANDER!!!! LEGEND OF THE POD!
I think robin is not even a shadow of Brook. I think Brook is 10 times better. Awkward Christmas dinner !!
I disagree I think Marjon can fulfill that roll….we have to give players time to develop
Game showed why you ship jrue out no hesitation. This duo will be devastating. Wait till Middleton comes back just filthy.
it's hard not to over-react possitively to this Bucks team…. ! The show must make sure this team does not catch "the bad eye" as we say in Greece… Go full on XEMATIASMA as we say in Greece and noone gets injured early…. Creators should start every clip "spitting and making an east -orthodox hand cross" to start every clip… Apart from bad luck and bad spirits, there's nothing stopping this team….
Frank is very boring when he talks, replace him
Seeing another player besides Giannis command the respect and attention of the opposing team defense was so freaking nice!
34
Frank is such an optimist 🙄
frank is the best part of the pod I love frank for his takes, casuals seethe
Are we sure Frank is a Bucks fan?
Frank seems to have an insane ability to kill the vibe
Held the Lakers to 97 points and most of the pod is about the defense SMH
Marjon needs to start. He can take the toughest gaurd match up.
Robin Lopez vs Thanasis Antetekounmpo.
Who is the better bro rn?
Preseason Giannis free throw observations… we are so back!
Frank we’re gonna need a little more of positivity as we go through the season
That dunk Giannis got AD sheeeeshhh
Giannis is heavy? Wth is this guy talking about ? Yeah I watched that game and that’s what stood out to me.
Franks perception of this game was way way off from mine lol
I thought they looked bad in the first 5 mins and then things got going for everyone.
I thought cam Payne looked like a pro out there and has a good read on the game.
I thought Malik Beasley was active and made some strong defensive plays.
Our steals total was a lot higher than normal. Blocks as well. It looked different frank— but don’t you know the excellent song by the might be giants? 🎵Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s scaryyy 🎵
Hope they find chemistry it was their first game after all, besides that the offense looked sloppy, dame off the ball too much, pnr barely abused and was not good, their two man game can be improved I think the bucks kinda forgot they have dame in there and we're taking random shots
After finally finishing this pod (my 3rd time opening it and watching a portion) I need to comment again.
I’m pretty disheartened. Frank you need to cheer up dude. Picking giannis apart over 4 lbs lol, giannis looked good. Why all the negativity and sullenness?
Kinda felt like i was watching a pistons or wizards pod with all that pessimism. I didn’t hear one single positive thing mentioned in this pod.
You guys need to get back on and redo it cause that’s not what bucks nation needs after a preseason WIN (Jesus by all that criticism I’d think we lost by 40)!!
Frank…..are you a fan of the Bucks?!?!? You ALWAYS bring negative energy to the show. Makes it a hard watch!
CJ and Anfernee simons would also bring the ball up the court because teams love to trap dame at half court with two defenders.
Pls Bucks, be 100% healthy come playoff time.
No offense but these hosts need to be replaced. No charisma or personality, some people just arent built for this. We got 2 superstars on this team, this podcast shouldve blown up a lot more but it hasnt cause yall arent interesting. Again nothing personal
Did Frank call Giannis fat? 🤨The man had surgery this off-season. Please! Anyway, it would be great if GA didn’t take any more free throws and leave the point guard duties to Dame. Give us some bully ball in the paint and running and dunking and defense. Dame, MarJon, Crowder, hopefully, a healthy Kash Money, etc., will take care of the offense. We need Giannis going after that DPOY this season.🏆
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zB94boJ-UI&t=337s&ab_channel=AkinAthletics To get an idea. Lillard plays a lot off the ball, he knows how to play. Amongst everything else we are lucky that Terry Stotts came along. Jon Horst is the g.o.a.t ,lol .
Wow I came in happy and excited then watch miserable Frank and he just sucked the life out of the Pod left me with a fully negative experience 😭
Also, given the league's history, where players have been body-shamed by fans and the media, and a few have even died, I think it is irresponsible for a podcast host to comment about someone’s weight. As a champion, Giannis has proven he can care for his body. So, he certainly doesn’t need Frank Madden to worry about his joints. #FearTheDeer
Can the bucks make any moves to improve their defense?
Lakers had four rotational players out .two were starters
