Gilbert Arenas STILL Doesn’t Believe In The Bucks

Gilbert Arenas STILL Doesn’t Believe In The Bucks

So the Bucks were without Giannis and Middleton as the Clippers came to town on the second night of a backto back but it was Dame time so the Clippers led by as much as 15 in the second half but Dame time was right on time Lillard dropped 41 points

Going 12 for 22 from the field including four threes Bobby Portis o came through a 28 and 16 nice little move right there yeah they were doing their thing while Yannis was spectating so Bobby Porter like I said 16 bucks out scored the Clippers 40 to

25 in the fourth quarter to get their six straight win Gil they are 6 and0 since the allstar Break Stop with Doc Rivers as their head coach stop leading this squad stop to a 6 and0 post allstar game rep 6 ande undefeated have yet have

Yet to suffer a loss yep so this was Dame’s thirdd 40-point game this season the Bucks are also three and0 when Dame drops more than 40 piece so what does a game like this mean for Dame’s confidence and what should we expect from him for the rest of the season

Brandon we’ll start with you you’re a resident bucks guy I mean no it’s always impressive when you get a win without your uh you know your Superstar like Yiannis so to see the ball go in um for Dame is going to be is very very important because we about to hit the

West Coast road trip and uh take care of business they’re coming to La so good and uh by the way yo a lot of that run came from Pat bab though a lot on his defensive end and um you know uh and all the energy that he’s bringing so a lot

Of it had to do with Pat Bev big pickup at the deadline friend of the program I’m I’m just saying since you’ve been talking we ain’t lost so do you have chirping man the flippers flip it’s the flippers bro right they flip like they normally do right I’m not giving no

Credit to the bucks right now cuz they ain’t beat who have they actually beat Chicago the Minnesota Timberwolves Philadelphia right there’s no inbi in Philly right now so you beat them two and then you beat Charlotte aitt a gritty Charlotte horn what your name there was four sorry

Ass teams but no Giannis no Middleton in this particular okay so you got two good wins don’t tell me six it was six and no no we six and0 yeah we six six Bottom Feeders let’s just be honest well we good I mean we stay right there in the

Second spot we stay right there in the second spot you know the same team that lost to Memphis right to break so I mean you you come out in play Chicago Charlotte Charlotte okay that was before the break that was before the break everything happen you know Chicago Charlotte Charlotte oo Philadelphia

Ooo I’m hey well you know gritty squads you know so Rashad what does a game like this mean for Dame’s confidence and what should we expect from him for the rest of the season well I had him lower on the first quarter oh so and he had 15 in the first

Quarter that was so uh it was pretty good for him disappointing though for but you had you had lore on Damon in the first quarter first quarter without Yannis yeah I just didn’t expect you know I I wanted him to start a second quarter I

Bet him the first part in the second at least get seven get seven is cool 15 in the first it’s like yeah you going to have one of them games you didn’t know was jiannis wasn’t there right once I seen the seven I was like damn jiannis a

SC the L now but uh it’s good I mean the Bucks they need it this is what he supposed to be doing that’s what I think I think this just got that got to be his attitude coming out especially against PG and and Kawai and how they

Didn’t step up to the plate I don’t think and guarding him the way they they know they supposed to especially PG knowing that that’s a rivalry for him I think that should have been a a closer Match Game even though PG showed up to play a little bit um

He’s giving his conf his team confidence you know Bobby Porter fed off him last night that was a good thing and uh just get him him and uh Yannis on the same page that’s going to be important y what’s it going to take for you you to support the Bucks they’re

Sixing on right now they’re coming to Cali they got the Warriors Lakers Clippers and Kings next four games I mean you know this is the second half of the season so we want to see when this when they’re playing some actually good team let’s really see what you know doc has a

Like let’s not pretend that they went into the All-Star break and then they came out with this magical pill of I know how to coach right you’ve played some bottom feeding teams that you’re supposed to be right you should be on the seven game winning street because

You should have beat Memphis right you lost to Memphis talking about your whole team was on um vac half your team was on vacation where was Memphis half their team was sitting on the side of the bench in and the stand so you know gritty Memphis team you know so

It’s it’s the the test is coming up West Coast trip then come back let’s see what you guys look like so we can really see you know who you are I don’t want to hide behind six and0 but four of those teams is not even playoff teams right

I’m sorry I’m not even going if they would have went three and three four- two you would have been yes that I already told you he has no leverage with me he has no I don’t I don’t give two shits you came in on a team that was 30

And 13 I feel no sympathy for you dude right you can go 20 and0 I’ll be like oh okay they playing well yeah okay they playing well aent but you know for the most part no you get to know you the team with number two they’ve been worse since you’ve been

There there’s nothing you can do about that right if you get back to Second you still get no credit because that’s where they were when you before you got there so you don’t get credit for getting them back to where you know stop so Gil not

Only were they 30 and 30 if they win it then what huh if they win it then what that’s cap what no but if they win it then what it can’t be cap is a h metical question I’m just saying cap just no no no the cap is just even thinking just

Thinking like that your mind not blasphemy not blasphemy it’s not blasphemy over Boston it’s not blasphemy BL blast over Boston yeah it’s not blasphemy if the if the bucks if the Bucks win that means Co hit once again everybody got sick God and they only people got jiannis got the Greek

Blood so he didn’t get infected God and they go on and win wow there’s no way in there the Greek blood blood in Niger we got that greo Nigerian blood and he didn’t get infected by the new Co n d only three teams that got a chance it’s only three

Teams they got a chance our produc no there’s only two teams our producers want to remind you that the Lakers did win a championship in the cover year that was different the hardest championship in NBA history remember in the bubble no we remember all lak fans remember all the all the producers are

Bug fans but the but the the that’s fact so we so but the issue the issue is this Dame without Giannis obviously it’s Dame time again right um he Portland the the the the the thing that needs to happen is them two together like that is the issue like them two playing together

And trying to figure out how they’re going to be effective the last five minutes of the game so okay you know Dame you know Dame having a team technically by himself that’s that’s easy for him he he he don’t have to worry about doing the pick and roll with

You know Giannis and giving Giannis the ball and all that he gets to really play his style his his game he has all the shooters in the world so you know uh this second half of the season is trying to figure out you know what him and

Giannis are going to be like how can they be dominant together not individually yeah so as you pointed out bucks were 30 and 13 uh I said that yeah but what what you didn’t say was that Doc Rivers was actually Consulting with that team so he was very familiar with

That Squad when he took over so no no that makes it worse that’s that he was familiar with it he knew the plays he knew the players he knew the system he knew everything so when he came out with the 400 excuses was like don’t don’t

Don’t don’t uh Don’t Cry Me a River don’t Justin Timberlake me buddy so but but doc has been improving as a coach after the game Gil please can I get through my read man no I’m like new set we got Park floors Gil all right

No what come on man like come on you just can’t do that you got to warn somebody you going to start telling jokes like that I knew you was funny but I didn’t know you was this funny not funny girl merely merely a host okay

Okay trying to do his job merely a host after the game talked about how Doc Rivers has incorporated more offensive sets that Dame used to run in Portland uh it’s helped a lot I think um for uh significant part of the year was just just trying to find my way you know

Trying to find my spaces where I would have opportunity and um you know I just think because I played against doc so many times in the west um and he had to scout against me so when he came in he was just like you guys don’t run this

You guys don’t run that like this is stuff we hated to guard against you and uh he just started to slowly put some of those actions in and um you know I think it’s helped me kind of just settle in even more um especially playing with some of the guys

On this team that can shoot the ball and having a guy like Giannis and the and the dunker behind the defense sometimes it’s like the stuff that I’ve always um run in the situations I’ve always been in should be even harder to deal with now with the players that I’m playing

With Rashad I see your face right now he not getting his points off sets like that he’s not getting his points off sets like that that’s why it’s weird it’s like wait watch the game you getting your off the regular everybody else get their off you a

Run no Dynamic sets to get that off Simplicity yeah that was in transition it’s a CU When y when Yiannis not there he don’t got the ball in transition like that they giv him the ball to jannis in transition Brandon I see your face agree or disagree with what Rashad is saying I

Just want Dame just to start the same way he been when he started last game against the Clippers like even when Yannis is there like just start just just come out aggressive just the same way even when he’s there I just want him to come out aggressive just the same way

Every time all that other stuff um it’s just come out the same way you came out the other night every time so G how important is it as a guard to have a coach calling your favorite place uh if you a guard you don’t need to coach to call

Your play cuz you got the ball yeah I’m say I’m calling you know usually usually a coach is calling a play and that play is for the team yeah right so um you know it it’s it’s you know that’s not like the old you know old days where you know they’re

Calling sets every time down the floor you know right now it’s more free play right uh pick and roll try to get an advantage you know what’s funny is someone said it’s it’s technically the one for flat without anybody going flat take a pick and roll and just spread it

Out and then take advantage of whoever’s on you um so when you talk about Dame and the sets he didn’t put no sets in and I’m sorry I’m not even going to I’m not even going to just be fugazy on this the set was there’s no Yannis here do you right

You know you shooting 55 footer shoot 55 footer you want to I got no I can’t sub you I can’t sub you I have I have no leverage right here go ahead do you um so there’s no real your favorite sets is that pick and roll and come off and

Shoot you know he was averaging 26 before doc got there ever since doc got there has been 21 really yeah he’s he’s dropped Five Points before this game he dropped Five Points since DAC has been there so I don’t know what okay so I don’t know what plays he’s done put in

That help ease I don’t see no I don’t see no zippers I don’t see no um no uh pistol plays you know pick and roll with some double action pass and flares and stuff so you know you’re doing the same plays we seen you’re doing earlier you just don’t have

Giannis have to pass the ball too facts so from what I see well the need to play this way if they want Dame to be effective in the playoff or if they want Dame to be effective this is Dame style like this is how this this is how D’s been playing

Like I don’t people don’t understand just cuz you throw people together don’t mean they’re going to be cohesive right um if anybody goes back to Steve Nash right Steve Nash was Allstar all NBA player right play play the pick and roll Amari Dash everybody else out then Shaq

Comes up over right now you have Shaq down there so when they do the pick and roll and Mario’s trying to roll Shaq is in the way right no no Allstar that year for Nash no all NBA Shaq leaves Allstar all NBA again right you know sometimes

Certain type of players affect how you play the game right because you know stepen Nash can’t run the the the the pick and roll if he got to throw the ball the Shaq so same thing Dame can’t be Dame if he has to give it the the

Giannis for Giannis to do the same thing he going to do in the first place so if Yannis played back to the basket and I can throw it down and cut off and do flares yeah but all I’m doing is a pick and roll to give it to you for you to

You know do exactly what I was about to do anyway try to get to the hoop make some plays so they’re both doing the same job it also plays into like all right Bobby had 28 right so who the who those points coming to if if jannis on

The floor like who are the other alternative scores when Jann’s got to get his his touches and his points he going to get his rebounds but then somebody’s going to lose out so if it’s going to be Bobby then you’re losing that extra points to put you over the

Top of the of the Clippers going to do his thing n he not going to give you 28 like that not when I mean he would I mean he would need to I mean he’ll give you what 15 17 okay and then huh maybe not even that n for

Sure that’s cuz think about their offense and how they run their offense when Yiannis is in the floor in the game he needs the ball he needs the ball so that’s why Dame scoring went down from 26 to 21 one is because they start emphasizing getting the ball back to

Giannis giannis’s numbers went up triple doubles all that type of I mean it’ be the game would be easier like if they played like Twan game thre Man game like just because of those two they need to implement an offense just for them to that’s like you know Pi pick and roll

Let’s flare let’s let’s you know let’s make some plays with just these two because when you’re talking about like trying to win in the play playoffs I’m just going to be honest with you you can’t have Dame trying to do what he do then pass it back to Giannis who’s

Sitting at the three-point line and then now Giannis has to now try to go and try to catch his momentum to try to dive in the lane the court is too small for that and that’s why he has problems against Miami right he has to be able to sit in

The mid post Dame flies off he don’t get it he can fake hand offs one dribble he’s at The Rim it’s hard to load up when you’re already low right it’s easy to load up when you’re when you’re starting from the the the the half court in the three-point line the whole time

But if you have Dame and Dame does the pick and roll pass it back to Lopez throw it in Giannis these two switch now everybody so focused on them all you do is just take one dribble you’re yearo you’re at The Rim hard for them to load up who’s their starting three Chris

Middleton We need he been out 11 games Bobby poris has been starting right so if they did a corner field pick and roll with the with the big lifted Brook lifted Giannis Dame Beasley in the corner how do you stop that what ends up happening is Giannis rarely wants to

Roll roll all way to the basket and then Dame gets doubled a lot so he has to pit your head throw it and yeah but they don’t have those Hye offenses no more see that would be the solution for me is like damn come off if they don’t double

You or they don’t show and they flash they flat showing you got a uh you got a free throw line jumper every time or you got a three-pointer at the top of the but then if they even do anything Brook right there Brook you do the hockey

Assist boom boom yeah you can Brook like if they hard show you throw it to Brook and he’s rolling catch that lot that’s what Miami like with um what was his name driz Miami Brian Brian gr Brian gr Brian you going old school with Brian cuz cuz Miami Miami

Whole thing was always we don’t care who they are we’re going to we’re going to hard show them to we’re going to try to push him back to the the the um the half court right they’re going to hard show and just stay with it so what we do is

We’re going to fake like we’re about to come off and then just hurry up and throw it you roll yep every time every time and then you it forces you to take that roll guy if you playing good defense Y and you got to skip pass yeah

Because Brian Brian is he’s running so hard that he’s going to put himself out of position anyway so we asked the chat are the bucks back 54% said no no no that for real yeah you know you know I was about to cut the chat off like hold on you know this chat

Very well we still need Chris Middleton so we’ll see we can get Chris M back we’ll be all right we will see boy some of us will be at I’m just be honest I mean listen my what’s your team this year you you starting to sound like us

Man delusional you starting to sound delusional man oh so you know the Lakers ain’t what no so you know the Lakers you have to but I’m saying you didn’t have to use those words you have to use those words we a throw dirt on your name like that my team got my team

Got a better chance that was the last coach that was the last coach what is your record since the new coach has been there yeah since the allstar before that before that yall y like y right in front of she y right in front of them chicag right behind chicag

Go since your coach has been so yeah
