W take as usual.
We just need an defensive enforcer until get Jae Crowder back
as a bucks fan, i'm just excited to see this team come playoff time. I'm not too concerned about what happens now, aside from maybe bringing in a wing defender to fill some of that void left by giving up jrue

Milwaukee still have so much to improve on before the end of the regular season. But if they do it’ll create such amazing basketball
Let’s see how the Bucks play when the playoffs start…
Set what world 😂. Lets be real nobody give af about regular season. Most people dont. This is a dead sport before playoff. Feels like a very extended pre season
Milwaukee’s team defence has hidden Giannis’ amazing individual defence this season. Being by far the most clutch defender so far, paired with Dame’s fourth quarter offensive booms, is the reason why Milwaukee have been so amazing in the clutch. The rest of the squad really need to meet the standards that Giannis and Dame are setting
This is high level basketball talk
JJ podcast one of the best
Defense>offense during playoffs.
Yes the Bucks offense can be devastating, but they need a defensive stopper at the 2 and 3 position plus one athletic big ASAP.
Go Bucks
They went and got Dame because they can not beat Jimmy Butler snd Bam Adebayo without more help. Had Dame gone to Miami they know they would hsve had zero shot.
BEASTLY needs to be a better 3-D.
Dude was standing like a mannequin in 1 clip i saw.
And Middleton needs to be the 2021 version. If not, Giannis will be worn out in the playoffs.
The Bucks suck. They're in a dogfight with every team every night and get bailed out by the refs during end of games. That won't work in the playoffs .
Im not entirely worried about thier defense. They have been missing Jae Crowder who is thier best wing defender, scrappy player and defensive motivator. Also last few games they have missed Pat Connaughton and Andre Jackson Jr. I like AJack Jr. he doesnt fill up box scores, but he does a lot right when hes on the floor, good defender (hes more effort than actual skill at this point, when his skill catches up with his effort, he will be one of the leagues best defenders). hes a great hustle guy. By the end of the season i wont be surprised to see him be Milwaukees best wing or point of attack defender. I knew about him a little from UCONN winning the championship, but i love watching this guy play
Yes, finally!
Huge fan of Giannis and Dame but unfortunately defense wins championships. Cannot be a bottom 10 defense in order to win a championship unless you are the dynasty warriors, but even they turned it up in the playoffs
Outside of them beating the mavs and a depleted heat team they’ve only won against teams lower than 500
Middleton got hurt against the bulls not celtics
Give up Marjon or Jackson to get Caruso. You need a defensive minded guard that does the dirty work.
The league is so stacked man
I love the Dunker Spot addition this year! Nekias and Steve are brilliant and add so much for me to appreciate as a fan. I'm hopeful for an Old Man Super Show with Neikias, Steve, and Legs in the same discussion.
If they can leverage a good mid season trade, it could be good for them for longevity. They're ramping up now, but they can't rely on Giannis and dame scoring 30 every night. Middleton needs to continue ramping up to be that secondary perimeter clutch shot shooter
They really need a Metta world piece / Shannon brown / draymond energy flexible wing defender.
Honestly -they need Gary Payton. Someone who doesn't need the ball to make game changing plays
Still won’t beat the Celtics
Pat con should start over malik
"Starting to set the world of fire" Bro we have almost lost nearly every single game this season 💀 I'm confident that they'll get there, but let's not act like the Bucks aren't barely keeping heads above water.
