Oooooo new character
Dame has struggled in recent games, hopefully he finds his stroke again soon.
Pat coming back gonna kill the team get that terrorist on the bench like Thanasis he’s a moral guy let marjon green and Jackson get his minutes
I am not feeling the new host (!Eric) Perhaps he should come back more on the podcast 30:42 to see.
Bobby had fresh batteries it seemed. Bobby is a great team mate and I wish him more success
It was nice seeing some Khash intensity, and Bobby hit a few buckets instead of running his mouth. But will tonight’s performances remain consistent? Hard to blame lackluster play on just poor coaching. I’m not sure how a defensive team loses its chops so quickly. It's bizarre, but what isn’t discussed enough is how team chemistry may affect play and internal drive. I think losing Jrue was a slap in the face for some key guys. Maybe? And, saying the Dame trade is just ball business neglects the truth: NBA players are human, and have emotions. Poor performances on the court isn’t always about ball. Also, Dame hasn’t seemed like an enthusiastic Buck, imo, but perhaps he’s older and not 💯 physically and is going through some personal stuff. That would be valid. I just hope his game picks up and we can see him take the lead this season. Hedeserve a chip after so many years of grind. And our King GA needs his second. #FearTheDeer 🏆
Also, fun seeing new faces on LOB. Keeps it fresh.
Khris needs to NOT be a primaryt ball handler and always going to the same spot. his turnovers were attrocious. I think Griffin has the right idea by letting brook do more, but he's gotta let that happen in the perimeter and the paint, not OUT of it. Dame needs screens set much much much higer and people who dont watch the bucks scratch their heads when its Dame and Brook setting screens more than D0 and 34, but Brook has been setting screens for much longer. I think Khris needs to figure out how to work off ball a little bit more to be more effective. I also beleive something Barkley said a while back. Giannis has to learn how to run without the ball far more. I also believe that Giannis needs to be a better off ball screener. There was a play where Beasley's man was way off of him and splitting the key, Giannis was in PERFECT position for a flare screen and a dive to the rim, but he just stood there and watched Khris "create a look" that resulted in a poor look and bad rebound i believe. It's tough when you have great talent but not everyone is on the same page and honestly… I'm looking at Khris here to be the one who has to figure it out. It seems like he doesn't like being relegated to being the third option and often times gobbles possesions with both Giannis and Dame on the floor. Now I understand how curry, klay, and KD felt when Draymond would take poor shots…
Drummonds numbers always feel padded. He can get several tip back rebounds in a row (missing a bunch). Other than his inflated boards, Bucks effort on the glass was much better, especially Middleton
I think AJ Greene can play down the stretch, his energy and his effort specifically on defense and I saw him hunt his own shot. I really think that they should give him more minutes and he can play a big-time role just be solid.
The coaching staff also made a very slight adjustment that I hope everybody noticed was that Giannis was not catching the ball at the three-point line and driving downhill. Giannis was catching the ball at the elbow and going fast and attacking and that created so much havoc. that’s a great sign .
Honestly at this point i dont care team is stagnant.
Lol, funny how the NBA media voted for Dame to be the MVP over Giannis 🤣🤔.
Well if it isn’t THEE Eric J from @technicalfoulpodcast making a guest spot 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Who is dude???? Ya goin all out with these podcasts huh….real gud to see sum different faces on this podcast especially wit Camille …I mean what can't she do????? She a beast wen it comes to talkn bout Bucks basketball nd this new dude also had sum excellent takes as well…but fr Camille can hold it down im highly impressed
I honestly don’t understand why Giannis isn’t defending the opposing teams best player more. I get that he’s an elite help defender and that he exerts too much energy to do it all the time. But in late game situations shouldn’t he be the one to guard the best player? For example in this game it felt like derozan was really uncomfortable whenever Giannis was guarding him and had a hard time to score on him. Why is Khris the one defending him in the clutch?
The Bucks shouldn't be "pulling out games" against teams like the Bulls. They are in real trouble unless they can figure this defense out. I don't think they have the players- something better change or they will one and done again. Griff has not been impressive at all. I realize there's a learning curve with a new coach but I can't think of one positive thing with him. Harsh? maybe, but he seems like a deer in headlights.
Two words PJ Tucker , it would be awesome to have him back to lead our defense
I see a lot of comments on how it’s fire griff still but we aren’t even half the season in and he’s been improving game by game with a roster with a clear weakness. He even called that clutch timeout when dame was about to turnover the ball he deserves some credit for the W
Hey this was a great pod. Cause it reminded me that some of the things we found concerning in the in-season game were corrected.
Namely, the bench DID produce in this game.
Dame was piss poor in this game and the pacers game. His efficiency is startlingly bad all of a sudden after he had JUST turned that around and was looking like dame again.
Damn Camille 😍
Hey Camille, Great discussion as always, and I appreciate bringing in a new face and take on the Bucks. Always nice to change it up and bring in someone new, and it makes me want to listen to some tech foul too.
If aj green is making shots does that make beauchamp expandable for a trade for a defensive guy? I like beauchamp but he is the only guy that is going to be able to get anything in return
2nd bad game from Dame in a row is rare…Honestly we shouldn't be struggling against Bulls, they are not contenders…..Kris is subpar unfortunately and Im not sure how much time we an afford to wait. he is a 50/50 on offence and looks like he will never return baseline on his defence….I wouldn't mind if Dame was like 29, Giannis 29 and Brook 29, but I DO mind now, cos we have 1/2 years max to get a chip…when everyone is getting better.
We got THE ERIC J on Locked On? 🔥🔥🔥🔥 A little TECK Foul takeover, love to see it!
