No wing defense, shadow of Middleton, Lopez doesn’t work against small ball lineup. These are same problems as last year. Dame made that defense worst.
You should expect this when you lose holiday and carter for dame and beasley.
Def a rollercoaster but I do think us bucks fans are overreacting, midway through the season is when we can panic but our defense will be way better imo
Hey Kenny just wondering if you plan on having guests on your podcast? Would love to see you continue to grow the podcast!
just bad coaching to be honest. If they just did the "obvious thing" and played the pick and roll on offense and played brook in the paint on offense they would easily just cruise through. They're doing tooooo much at once. I say just be relaxed and not creative. Dame and Giannis pick and roll with shooters who can make the next pass. Play deep in the paint with brook, don't make him run around. Use Giannis as a main defender on the enemy best player or just have him as a help in defensive collapses in the perimeter. STOP PLAYING FUCKING PAT OVER GIANNIS. And let Khris come back into the line up. boom fixed
New coach , new look team. Jrue was definitely an anchor for our defense. We just gotta get better.
As a bucks fan I am completely in bothered by a 4 game example, the losing jrue means they need to re adjust their defense and offense and that will come with time. As well as getting a new coach who was defense oriented. The bucks have the guys the need if Beasley doesn’t improve, Jae can easily play the 3 as a starter, and Khris can slide over to the 2 if they need more defense. The Celtics has a lackluster start just a few years ago and ended up making the finals
Trade for Roco, Daniel house and a point of attack defender that can play the two spot
I'm more worried about the defense than the offense. Teams have scored on average 122 ppg against the bucks so far.
I think that less shots at the rim but a higher percentage shows that they still have that personnel but they’re just not using the right system or they’re just having too many miscues
If your guard can’t navigate screens you have to blitz if the the ball handler can shoot
I don't think Giannis really wants to play primarily as a screener and roller. He wants the ball, he's used to playing that way. Maybe they can get better, but is Giannis ever going to stop taking pull-up threes?
I thought firing coach bid was a terrible decision then, and I stand behind it now.
I have to say it. Giannis is too humble for his own good. He's the one who needs to step up and be leader.
Bucks got problems, and i knew they werent better with dame, hes a one man show, and good for the harlem globetrotters, but not good for winning games in the nba, and he plays 0 defense, as a celtics fan thank god we didnt get dame. Good luck with that.
i think the Bucks should of went for a pass first point guard or should of kept Jrue
Kenny for real good commentary good analysis. I’m an NBA fan that likes Giannis and dame Lillard. But they’ve always been known for Defense and how I understood was they’re going to continue to do what they do and just cover Dame on the defense end. But I forgot that the verse is controlled by Coach Bud. Right now the defense looks terrible, I mean Giannis is out of position. Lopez is out of position. They’re not in the paint like they normally are. They got to figure this out. The offensive looks like a clunky. I wish Giannis was stop being so nice, that thing belongs to him. He’s trying to make Damian Lillard feel comfortable. That’s not going to get it done. He’s the young guy who’s being paid $62 million a year next year. Get off the nice trip and get to work. Because right now the Celtics have your all point guard and he is defense first and it’s showing.
Should never have fired Budenholzer
Hawks whooped up on that ass
Lifelong bucks fan here honestly thought u nailed it. Dame and Giannis are still adjusting to each others games (especially dames passing) hence why we have been struggling a ton with turnovers. Also brook not being able to recover from the perimeter needs to be addressed just like you said. Obviously it’s just the first week but I’d rather struggle now then in June
