Bucks are headed into a schedule GAUNTLET 😳 Can Dame & Giannis PULL THROUGH? | Numbers on the Board

The Bucks are about to go through a gauntlet they got the Hornets twice should be wins but the Hornets are playing basketball hor are play they five and once is the tra shout out to Grant Williams shout shout out to fake tough guy Grant Williams of course

Draymond then they got the bull so that should be should be three wins then they go on their West Coast World trip it’s Clippers Lakers it’s Warriors it’s Lakers it’s Clippers it’s sack toown that’s their next five games after always seems dreadful for team yes hey that’s going to prepare them for the

Playoffs they need that they need it mhm and I guess we get to really see nature identity yeah this whole after even after that they got 76ers should be a win 76ers have been playing great then they got Suns they got Boston OKC they got the Lakers the rest of their season

Is a dog fight and this is where we gonna figure out what team they really are and I’m excited for it we we went to Bobby Porter’s birthday party and D was like uh we got to talk and I was like I don’t do the talk un let’s get dinner

H i I feel you I feel you you know what that’s from yeah you know what that’s from no Pat said that oh he was talking about how they like kind of squash their beat M was just going along with I thought you was really selling the store

And I was about to be like yeah I remember the birthday party I any I like adversity during the regular season because it gets you prepared for the playoffs especially that second half yeah and they’ve been a team that had a lot of question marks I guess I guess

Now we get to really see like is this really who they are who who are they and I guess doc river is the time to actually he has to sit down and Coach scheme plan like that West Coast trip is never easy it’s been decent recently Doc

Rivers era two back toback wins um defens has look dramatic climing up climbing up starting to happen we’re seeing more it was just a three and seven start that was shaky we’re seeing more Damen Lillard and Giannis actions it’s not necessarily picking rolls but they’re in the actions together a lot

More so I haven’t seen it picking rolls though definitely been doing it I I’ve watched um there’s a YouTube video of somebody that accumulated all of the pick and roles of Giannis and Dame in the Doc Rivers era so far and my take away from that is Giannis is not a very

Good screener you know what bro he was saying in that article I brought up last podcast he like I understand that people want to see me and Dame in like more actions but it’s got to be organic like it can’t be just here’s the ball let me

Come run the screen and roll like it’s not going to work for us I feel like that also is very it can be like that simple I thought it could too I thought it honly they’re too dominant but like you compare his screen setting to like

Brook Lopez on the same like Brook Lopez is making contact every think that’s fair why not because I think Brook Lopez has had the role of being a screener for his existence of a basketball player Yannis this is probably something new for Yannis Yannis is used to having a

Ball screening is a lot harder than people at the pro level it’s a lot harder than people think one of the most underrated aspects I think a really good screener can get you that’s why you think Kev k a job obviously hustle screens many people that set screens

Like Kavon Looney and over when your job is so much more broader than just being a screen Setter it can get exhausting yeah he trying to get the ball he trying to go downhill he just exerted energy and then he kick it out the ball go and

Now he got to come run up and set the screen versus like a Brook Lopez Stephen Adams that’s all they’re going to do they’re never trying to do any Giannis is doing so their energy is boom boom they’ve been doing it for years they got the technique they know how to

Do it I’m going off experience too I was a time where I was playing um and I got called up and Coach Dorne wanted me to do some that Brock was doing I couldn’t screen I didn’t know how to screen I was getting offensive fouls cuz I’m doing this they like man

You got to do this I’m not but I’m not as big as you know what I’m saying high school I’m probably like 6’2 he’s 66 they talk about dude I’m not big and wild like dudes so I’m putting out elbows and they like man that’s a offensive

Foul I don’t know how to screen like that a no screen Rio Bear’s screen assist numbers used to be crazy you know he used to leave swey does that he throw the bows out for the screen I don’t like people who do that watch your mouth that’s what you do

Oh you talking about rby I’m used to coming off screen 56 huh that scen through that screen

On Numbers on the Board, Darrick, Pierre and Mike join Kenny Beecham to discuss the Milwaukee Bucks’ difficult upcoming schedule and debate if Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo can hold the team together through that gauntlet.
