Gilbert Arenas Says The Bucks NEED TO Run Through Dame

Gilbert Arenas Says The Bucks NEED TO Run Through Dame

Bucks are 16-1 when Dame scores 30 points or more this season and they’re n and3 in their last 12 games so G what is a win uh like this without jannis du for the bucks confidence as they get ready for the playoff get them Gil get him theck Killer this ain’t about the

This ain’t about the Bucks confidence at all because these are two different teams yes right these are two different completely like we’re not worried about this team what’s the record when Dame does what so Dame without Giannis I believe is three in one this season Yannis without Dame the

Season is 0 and five five yeah yeah so that’s the issue the issue is and when he scores who’s going to are they going to realize that the offense needs to be for Dame not Giannis anymore because that is the problem the problem isn’t Dame and everybody else the problem is Dame

And Giannis learning how to play together because right now all Dame’s explosion Giannis is gone them double teams don’t even matter right so you when Giannis is gone and you can focus on Dame he’s busting yall ass when Giannis is there he struggles y but I

Think that’s a mental thing for Dane cuz he’s still getting like the shot attempts exactly it ain’t like jannis is not giving you the ball jannis get hiss every way offensive rebound transition jannis sits for like eight straight minutes so Dan can do his thing it’s

Just like Dan got It’s Like a Block like a mental block he has when he plays with jannis cuz jannis don’t limit him at all well if you think about Giannis off the ball what is jannis doing off the ball slashing rebounding so when he not in

The game he actually got more space shooters shooters and more space but he shoot three step backs anyway he JN be way over not shooting on the floor when when he on the floor with jannis jannis is the only non man is not so far away

Not even help they double off a Yannis man which is yeah I know right they so when he does a pick and roll with giannis’s man they double him but a lot of time he ain’t doing picking rolls with jannis man no more they doing it with Brook Lopez now and jannis be

Standing way over there so jannis man is not even in the play think about it right so that’s what I’m saying the two deadliest people can’t even play together because they don’t know how y right so Dame doesn’t want to do pick and roll with Giannis even though that’s

The play that should be the most he wants to do pick and roll with uh Brooke because you can’t double off a brook right so I think it so they’re playing two different offenses inside the same offense and they not they’re not Yiannis is not in the dogghouse think about it

If Giannis is down in the dogghouse and you playing pick and pop with Brooke it’s a better opportunity for Giannis to get it off the glass or to duck in if if he actually turn the corner on the double but he is rebounding getting off the glass but that’s not the pick and

Roll that they’re doing they’re doing pick and roll Yannis is popping he becomes a liability they stopped they’ve learned not to do it with him but he’s not even doing Slow Roll he should slow roll it so he can draym it when he get the ball in the mid

Now he can make a decision but then there’s no dogghouse for him to make that extra pass that’s Brook in the corner and you got the you’re spreading I think D got to learn how to be a little bit more Dynamic with the pig

Roll and don’t be so set in his way of cuz he got to adjust he has to adjust he never won a championship Yiannis didn’t won one D got to adjust a little bit to learn how to manipulate the pick and roll cuz it should be a deadly pick and

Roll with him in honest it right it’s just a double bom they just well I wouldn’t even what what happened to the old uh pistol two-man game some teams when you come off the which when you come off the top no just like you know you have you know you have the three-man

Game over there me and you know you have uh Giannis like at that mid post um elbow free throw elbow area throw it to throw it to him take off and he can give it to him what they do in Denver they do in Denver that’s exactly

What they do Inver know if and then he go Dame goes to the corner if they messed up on it if not you can sit there and then what dble hand off dble hand off turn Chris Weber if you want to try to double me right here Yannis is 15t

Away from the basket now and now that K mid is back once D come off now you can dribble hand on with K mid you got the weak side you know doc never ran plays like that so crazy that’s a solution though if you want to talk about them two on the

Together that’s action spit because that was never in his Playbook I’m going be honest though the game slow down naturally anyway so it’s going to be okay and work yourself out in the playoffs I think they going to be a hand they can get hurt in the playoffs too

They can get hurt in the playoffs because Giannis already gets stuck in his ways in the playoffs when they try to load up and if if Dame realizes oh that y’all loading up on him let me do my thing you he can he the defense and

Dam’s deciding to go pick and roll with Yiannis could really I mean with a Lopez yeah but with Middleton back you also have another shooter yep that second unit when Yannis go sit down Damon Middleton that could be nice hopefully Dame don’t do one of these the question

Is this the question is this is Giannis a ball stopper because he’s the star of the team and you think about what I’m saying when the ball’s moving and Yannis gets it he wants to make a move he wants to do his thing when the ball he’s not in the game what

Happens with the ball pop pop pop somebody makes him the ball’s never stopping even with Dame is why he keeps exploding for big points because the ball is moving when when it’s not in His Hands boom boom boom shot Middleton in the post he get them quick actions

Getting quick actions right so when Giannis is in the game he gets the ball he’ll hold it is jannis comfortable enough playing a role in that new offense cuz he had to play a role where you’re not the dynamic number one option but why why would you want Giannis to be uncomfortable that’s

The point when cuz Dame has to be comfortable but think about it the way the offense has played now with this team and their success rate is the offense running through Dame and the team not jannis so you can’t use and this might be the problem you can’t use

I’m a two-time MVP that’s what he’s doing and I’m a champion and say I’m a champ no no no I’m not saying he’s doing I’m saying we can’t say two-time NBA you know MVP and I’m a champion we run it my way if you use that

Logic then we’re going to see it’s going to be struggling you got to be able to understand as a champion there’s there’s an you have to probably go another way but D can’t go this Ro Dame shots are the same when jannis play versus when he

Don’t play it’s just a matter he makes some more when he don’t play so I don’t think that Giannis should do anything but what he’s been doing yeah jiannis is playing efficient basketball he ain’t playing a bunch of minutes he’s rebounding at a crazy clip for himself

For the team nah cuz hey why did they trade coaches do you really want know why you know why tell me tell me why cuz jannis wasn’t getting the touches that he why you think jannis kept taking the clipboard hey man let’s do it just do

This where I get it and then I let me and then you think that you really think that’s why bro let me that is not why listen what what what changed you think Yan is over there trying to that’s what he he took the clipboard bro he was on there throwing

Up the play what you doing Adrian let me do it let me we want let’s just say Adrian was trying to get Dame involved more that’s Yannis it wasn’t Dame that got rid of him do you be watching Milwaukee play yes bro Dame is able to shoot whatever shot he want with or

Without Yannis on we talked about it me and that’s why I said Gilbert get him because we know that Doc is drawing up the same he’s drawing up the same like ain’t nothing changed except for the fact that Dame is out there by himself ain’t no actions that’s being

Ran different that’s what I’m saying so it’s like for for Yiannis he has to take the back seat why come they just he can’t make his shots and they both are going 35 and 35 like they like they did a couple nights ago the shots are different they not different no at the

Time of of the shots are different if you look at the time of the Dame shots he keeps the ball in his hands the whole time and the in the in games jannis play jannis gets it off the board he’s bringing it up you need both of those

Dynamics though you need both you can’t you can’t just have you need both I’m you do but is it is it is it Giannis more so than than Dame being in his head Dame is going through a lot right now personal life he hasn’t he’s not

Himself yet he he was last night yeah he show flashes he show flashes he I agree with that but but I think that was also because well Giannis ain’t playing exactly so I don’t have to worry about or think about I I got to find a way to

Get Giannis involved so to Norris’s point when Giannis is playing I think Dame needs to just be Dame and stop worrying about I I get what you’re saying how can he be Dame how can he be when I got to I got to now get jannis

The ball Jan going to get the ball anyway you don’t got to you don’t got to not when he does get the ball is slowing down the process of the DLo it’s it’s probably like the DLo it’s like the DLo LeBron thing whenever LeBron’s off the

Floor DLo Goes Ham when LeBron comes on he does more thinking we know that happens it happens but Dame is a different caliber player yeah but but he he left his castle to come to somebody now he feels like he has to divert the the yian has already

Lay him no the range is yours do you different when you walk around it’s still different when you walk around somebody else’s going get trying to salute Yannis when he come through but they can’t salute you the same way cuz this ain’t really your [ __ ] we don’t really know you like that bro

Even though even though the king done said no he good y’all he good they like nah be you good he ain’t good but that take time too though watch when the playoffs happen watch you know how you said Dame still getting the same shots funny story Rudy T and coob right

Uh uh this is after the Golden State Warriors game this is like when Rudy T got fired right and they was having a meeting and um Rudy T sitting there crying about he don’t know what to do right I don’t know what to do c I’m just I got to tell the story

The way the story was I can’t say he was in there laughing and uh Rudy T was like you know you know I drop a play you don’t like to play you say you need 27 shots you want you’re getting 27 shot CU like it ain’t

The way I’m getting my 27 shots not the way I want it right he’s like you want the ball I just have you take the ball out you can get the ball run for it the Jordan have to dribble the ball up the quarter the Jord get in the

Spot yeah I’m getting 27 but it ain’t the 27 that I’ve wanted you know yeah like efficiently I’m getting I want the ball in these spots you telling me to take the ball out and get it and dribble up the guard that’s not how I that’s not

How I get my points so it it it is a thing but Dame is getting his shots how he get them he’s coming out pick and roll side stepping he’s isoing he they give him the ball at the end shot clock he getting his shots it’s just when

Yannis play is the spacing not the same it is the same not jnis is in the way no he’s not he’s not running every pick and row with Yannis you in the way bro more not more no yeah he’s not running pass to you put up a brick bro you putting up

Bricks and [ __ ] he over there like come on bro godamn who he that’s he’s missing he no this is the what you saying right now what you saying right now is the reason the league is different right when D when Giannis is on the floor Dame is struggling because

What Yiannis can’t shoot the ball right so that ain’t why D struggling though we on so that that that one guy who can shoot changes the dynamic of the floor right because he can’t shoot change the dynamic floor now when when people argue about there’s no more defense that yanis

Now has turned into a yage for someone like Murray right you see what I’m saying now instead of having one guy that can score we can’t shoot we got we got five people who can shoot now the mental of the Guard now when he drives in I can do any

Move like I see I see young fell shade do moves that he knows there’s no defense clocking back on him he’ll come in in cut them off like yo you want he knows the guy who switch ain’t trying to reach back know I got a shooter yep the

Comfort what I’m saying is the Comfort level of the guys now knowing that you can’t double or do anything I is the reason that the defense look like there’s no nobody there but I mean he just proved another point so he’s say that ain’t this situation because Janis is giving he’s

Getting the and guess what when he shooting Miss guess who cleaning it up jannis jannis is cleaning up on Al six man shoot D shoot what you want to shoot no missing when he Ain in the game though I I don’t need to clean up on our

Six cuz your ass ain’t in my way he’s not in the way yes he is when he ain’t on the floor ain’t nobody there I’m doing my thing do you see how many layups Dame had so what about the games when what about the game where they both

For string right if Brook is stretching the floor on a pick and pop and I’m going to the Baseline instead of a [ __ ] trapping us and sending me to the basine so you sending me to the Baseline on the pick and pop with Brooke with a full rotation

I so jannis come off the bench now huh no no no no no listen what we talking about sh what have made the trade that’s what we talking about no no no no you two no you two having one conversation I’m I’m back in Old another convers say you were I’m winning

Now I’m saying you got five people out there you got a bunch of Shooters and you got one [ __ ] that’s a handic I’m just saying but listen it’s all it’s more than one way to play basketball so your way is a way that ain’t that way

Cuz you got to have real shooting to do like that and it Ain it ain’t 30 teams that got real shooting to run that off no no what I’m saying is what he’s talking about right you you see how easy it is for Dane to get to the basket when

He knows there’s nobody to protect the rim that’s what my whole argument was in today’s game it’s not that there’s no defense no one’s trying this the the the the court is so spread when you have guards who can get to the basket when they go if they know four

People are sitting on the perimeter they sitting there playing lunch basketball it’s like one-onone of them that’s my argument I’m not with y’all I’m not even on Y where he’s going with I’m not even on y conversation I’m trying to kill a dead body right here he think he thinks

That he think cuz [Applause] what he’s missing we were talking about effort we were talking about effort making that layup no it was not it was not existent but the the dynamic of when you got five Shooters on the floor and Dame do go Baseline help guy

Still got to [ __ ] come over a rotation still a rotation that rotation is all about effort but also understanding where the rotation should come the rotation ain’t going to always be the same right and it’s Universal in basketball the best player even if there’s Shooters out there you rotate to

The best player so if the best player is driving it don’t matter who the shoes are you help the most dominant player you help off of no matter who out there open so what would make what would make Dame upset is if Giannis keeps popping instead of rolling if you roll they have

To collapse the pain that is true because why are you popping you can’t shoot and that is his Dynamic of SPAC and it’s like bro you in the way you supposed to be rolling so you telling me jannis answer to Copo is picking and popping every time with Dame that’s what

You seen up here trying to tell me that’s what we see majority of the time that’s cap that happens four times a game jannis rarely rolls in the pick and roll you’re talking about now because they don’t do the pick and roll anymore because of but when he does a like

Giannis has to understand when he does a pick and roll with Dame he has to roll and be more Amari Blake Griffin type in you to pick and roll but that goes back to his point like that also is going to take time for them to understand because

What used to do he would pick and pop and dribble hand off to the to the second side cuz Chris Middleton was coming Jew was coming off you throw it back and then you drible hand off on the other side you with this again go ahead do it do it no I’m just

Saying but that is something that he has to learn as a player but that’s called s aware too that you don’t have Middleton over there so what you used to do you can’t do anymore you don’t have your holiday came back now cuz the reason you

Don’t when you did pick and roll with Drew holiday they did not double or do all that so you can pop back and they’re doubling now so popping back hurts the double so you have to adjust for him other everybody else so tell me something they double in day when he

Come off pick and roll he throw it back to back to what happens after that he it holds the ball holds the ball to go one-on one he’s that’s why I ball so he don’t catch and drive down the lane and make him play plays out he tries he

Tries he that’s where you think the threee turnovers come from he tries or he does it’s not it’s not it’s it’s not efficient anymore right cuz remember it used to be like it used to be the three- man pick and roll pass it you know Draymond Green um

Clay that’s that’s not the you can’t do that anymore because the pick and roll that got that offense they’re not doing that with Dame now they’re hard doubling and they’re coming to you you’re looking exactly so why can’t they do that if they put a shooter

On the same side if Giannis is rolling they put a shooter over there the shooter he can’t help so now he jannis got a clear Lane to go down and if the other low man help offense that yeah that part that’s that’s real simple put a shooter on the

Same side Yiannis pop if the guy come over that’s a shooter it’s a quick Swing Swing that’s easy two people on the ball you run out of no one’s guarding jannis at that no but jannis not no one’s guarding jannis on that pick back when you throw it back to jiannis

In go ahead he gets a running start to the basket which is the best offense you want living with that that’s why they don’t like playing with that you would die by that they not playing they they not playing that you’re not going to beat is not [ __ ] with that because

You stopping the offense but but that was I think but to be honest that might have been the issue in the locker room with Coach Griffin right this this whole little pick and roll thing because it was a problem even though they was winning that might have been the discussion that

Everybody was probably trying to figure out the half the one we’re having right now and it was easier to say get the [ __ ] out of here yeah now Doc is coming in and the only thing do took just took Yan and put him put him dunker on the corner

They say go rebound when he shoot that I don’t the problem is they’re having success they’re having success they’re having success but they’re having success without each other so we don’t even see the real problem exactly just a couple games ago they both went for 30 like 30 don’t mean I’m talking

About like I’m talking about I think they can it’s like the Suns right it’s like the Suns we see the spurts we haven’t seen them together to see how it works are they clicking give them more time yeah so I want to see like I want

Them to play at least play 10 15 games so we can see what you look like together so we can actually fix the problem right now we just patch up J we see the problem we see it but they got to see it together also with

Middleton in the mix changes a lot of how the defense will defend yeah yeah see like middle see Middleton is good for see Middleton and Dame no problem cuz what Dame do Middleton can shoot this and this we have to see all three of them because the the offense needs to

Be for all three and the fact that they’re coming back now now Giannis is out we need to see what they’re going to look like moving in this next next month getting ready for playoffs it’s hard to know what we want Dame Beasley Middleton Brook and Giannis that’s they five

Giannis rolling they got to pick up the roller if you even got Brook in the corner or Brook lifted it don’t [ __ ] matter he going to be open cuz the big got to take Giannis it can’t if you put Beasley in the corner that mean guard the L low guard got to take

Yannis me right so now the big if jannis roll so what we did is we inverted we inverted if if Brook was uh lifted you inverted which is the big goes takes the L guy and then the guard takes Brook at the top so when we do the rotation you

Going to take the roll guy so when Yannis rolls you got Middleton Brooke and Beasley on the weak side but that can’t be your offense the whole time but Yan they not even doing it cuz jannis is not rolling they will now if they they smart well that’s we’ll see we’ll see

What the off can’t do that too much because need jannis to be in attack mode to draw fouls to get to the bonus or you need play team basketball and not worry about what jannis is comfortable with that is team basketball jannis roll to the [ __ ] basket cuz we got a [ __ ]

That’s better than you now out here playing on the off on the offensive end on the offensive in Dame lard is better than jannis that’s cap right I’m saying if Yannis you know that’s cap Dame lard is not a better offensive player than J what were you saying oh my question no

No I said who does that fall on right if Giannis isn’t rolling where does Doc but where does Doc come Inc does Doc even see it does Doc see he has to see it fil but you can’t man you got to establish a tempo of the game Yiannis

Have to be aggressive to draw fouls and break down the defense was you going to pick and roll with SH pick and roll with SH if I’m guarding Giannis today and he’s going to set a screen and just pop I’m not go out and defend that so I’m

And if he’s picking and rolling though he’s not going to be scoring as much though and you need him you need both of them to score I don’t think he should set a screen for Dame ever that’s why he’s sitting in but that’s Dame realized

That though but how do I tell you I want to do pick and roll with you when when you and Drew holiday used to do pick and roll time but doc should be the one doing that it shouldn’t be D like Yan I don’t want to if you pick roll if you

Did pick and roll with Shaq and Shaq pop how will we win say something funny if you go pick and roll with Shaq and Shaq pops what the [ __ ] is Shaq popping for de that part Shaq roll to the basket why cuz you’re drawing the whole defense

With the rooll now we got wide open shots I think y just limiting their offense too much to just for limiting it too much because I think the offense is limited the offense has been limited like we’re still going off of the success that they had then and not

Realize that they offense has been struggling in the playoffs since yep right we’re still talking about the championship year and they beat the Suns and they went through there with a little bit of help right from referees and whatever we can pretend that none of it happened right we can pretend that

You know the Nets didn’t get hurt and we can always pretend Championship you got breaks but we can pretend that they they were down 02 and they had the NBA had to bring in Scott Foster who he got two wins right we’re going we not about to

Discount they no but I said we can pretend that it didn’t right we can pretend that it didn’t happen but how has the offense been since then yep they’ve been struggling they’ve been having problems against Miami in the playoffs can’t score so there is a big

Problem there and we’re scared to add no one wants to talk about it because they’re Champions and it’s an MVP and we pretend that you can’t get better match up problem I don’t know Miami I think Miami just match up good against wasn’t the reason for bringing game to do what he’s doing

Yeah so well yeah that’s before doc got there yeah but you got to understand even with Dame y you got to score 90 points between your three best players at least 90 or 80 something so even with all this stuff with Dame jannis still

Got to get it yeah he does he got to get it absolutely does putting him in pick and roll is not him getting it your scenario he’s okay in that but that he you got to give it to him and let him do what he do not his strength pick and

Roll throwback to Giannis to not a weak side what we doing Yannis is forced to do what right go one onone what Miami did that’s what Miami he did last that year that they lost when Giannis came back they literally pick Giannis is going to pop we’re going to deny the catch and

Pass pick and roll on the weak side we’re going to deny that and we’re going to force jannis to take the ball from the top make a play and what we going to do when he starts dribble we’re going to load the [ __ ] up and he going to turn it over what

Teami the only team that could have got that off came blueprint so this year everyone’s seeing that [ __ ] and we’re like okay this what jannis don’t like to do he wants to catch it and swing it and go to the weak side so he can come off

It ain’t working though it ain’t working around the league it ain’t like it’s working it’s only a few times where it’s working what’s they record what’s they they still in position it’s not like it’s working around the leag they figured it out the heat is just you know SP 24 the

Bucks are currently 4424 Celtics so it’s not like the league and figure Yiannis out that ain’t what it is you just SP as a genius you trying though you holding on but but you know in the play but you know in the playoffs round to round it ain’t the same you can go

From averaging 50 in one round and being a decoy in the second round to get out of that round yeah yeah I don’t know if a lot of players know that that that happened to me Yannis and uh Dame ain’t gonna never be no decoy though you got

Yannis is going to be 30 and 15 no matter what and and then you that might take that might take and that’s why the l happen no no no this this is a true story we’re playing my we’re playing the Bulls right in the playoff first round

Regular season I averaged 33 against him they couldn’t stop me for nothing nothing struggled first game against him second game thinking this Cakewalk Scotty Pippen called uh Drew Clary Drew Clary was his personal trainer there and Scotty Pippin said um he’s going to have to be a

Decoy the Bulls is not going to let him win this series him doing him if he wants to get out of the first round and that team is going to be successful he has to pass the ball he can’t average 30 he averag about 15 to 20 they can beat the Bulls because

They’re not prepared for him to pass the ball right a guard I had to look at those first two games watching this rotate load up yep and said damn you’re right you’re right a guard though I’m the scorer though it’s the number one option so I’m the number

One option so I had to take a back seat going to take a back seat he going to get the rebound and going to get 30 throw it up he going to get the rebounds and going to get to he going get 30 because he don’t even I need him what

I’m saying is I don’t need him getting a rebound trying to dribble down that might work do you not need that that might work in one round that might not work against Miami so he play Miami he might have to be a decoy because myami knows he don’t want to be

A ky Low’s getting charges cuz he’s loading up in the lane charge charge the Miami Miami Heat is the most different different team out there man is the say about round one first round saying is if he played in round one he might have to have 15 and

15 assist they going to lose if that happens there’s not going to be enough points scored who going to you got to score at least 110 120 points who going to score D even if D have 50 you got to have what I’m saying is 15 points he

Might need 15 assists to get that 60 who going to score though he got 15 assist somebody you got you got other shooters on the floor that he’s going to be passing to so you mean tell me D going to go for 40 and then four other dudes

Are going to have 20 he don’t got to go for 40 that ain’t never happen he ain’t got to go for 4 we can tell you right now him trying to do it the way he’s doing he’s keeps taking L to them period so the Milwaukee Bucks second in the

East right now 44 and 24 the current seven seed no one cares the Miami Heat let’s move on mostly fans no one cares Gil no let’s move on that was a good that was a good one I want to see that in the first round ooh

I don’t want to see that cuz you know I don’t want to see that in the first round that was a good one that but the six seed is the Pacer so that’s even worse for him they Pac for 41 against the Bucks the season
