Your takeaways from this game um it it seems like bucks is so comfortable like Dame seems so comfortable with which is a bad which is which is bad because that’s his whole career has been playing without you know that type of player so going to the playoffs in the

Last month they need to finally get their um chemistry together because right now they don’t have chemistry right they’re gonna when the games they won they’ve won off of they’re just a good team Boston the biggest flaw is they stand around a lot playing ISO basketball

Right when one has the ball the other star just sits there in the Deep Corner uh you know waiting for the ball to come around to his his uh area so then he can play one-on-one that’s how they lost to Miami and they would not beat Denver

Playing that type of basketball when you look at it Boston shot 29 free throws the Buck Shot 14 and it was and and it and there one point where I think the the Celtics ran up to score 17 18 maybe even 19 points but they were never able to put

The Bucks away the Bucks come back and Whittle it down and I agree with what you said about Giannis and I think the thing is with Dame Dame is so used and so comfortable without playing with a super super mega superstar that he’s like okay I’m just back in Portland and

This a this ain’t nothing to me I’m used to having a Supporting Cast and I get to do my things I’mma run guys I pick I’m put guys in the pick and roll they’re going to get me the ball and I can do my thing the concern that I have is that

Look we understand what Giannis is it goes without saying in playoff the game’s going to come down to clutch time the last five minutes the game within five points who should have the ball in their hands versus who will have the ball in their hands Gil those are two those are

Totally two different questions with two different arguments yeah yeah um at this point in time I mean I I hope everyone’s smart enough to know that Dame needs the ball uh at the end of the game um he needs to be making all the plays making all the decisions it’s no different than

Kobe and Shaq yeah cck we know you’re dominant just not at this point because we don’t need you to get fouled unless you are making free throws uh at a high rate during that game other than that we don’t want you shooting free throws that benefits the other team that you’re

Going to free throw line but what you’re going to need and You’ seen it today you’re going to need free throw attempt so what ends up happening is you’re going to need Giannis into the offense uh at the beginning of the fourth quarter so he team into the

Penal yeah he has to do his everyone has to do their part understanding their roles and until they get that they’re gonna you know it’s going to be one of those you know win a game lose a game win two games lose two games um I don’t see them I don’t see them

Getting out of the East um just because I don’t see that their chemistry is not going to be there Middleton just coming back Giannis is not there when they all three get together they gotta find that Rhythm I thought Chris Middleton looked really really good tonight they didn’t

Get much out of J Crowder play 15 minutes they didn’t get much out of Malik Beasley play 26 minutes between those guy oh between those guys in Brooklyn Lopez you only got what 21 points you need you need more than that from your starters especially with Dame

Doing what he did Chris Middleton played really well only 33 minutes tonight Bobby Porter is Bobby Porter Off the Bench gave you a double double 24- 10 but you need more you to if Giannis is gonna be out let’s just and I don’t know how long he’s gonna be out but you’re

Gonna probably need 35 points between those three guys now however you want to div it up because dam is gonna give give you Dame numbers if Chris Middleton’s gonna give you 20 Bob Bobby Porter is going to give you what he gives you off the bench I

Can’t have three guys playing those kind of minutes giving me 21 points G I can’t now now now we seen we see what the Three Amigos look like see the Three Amigos for D is him Bobby and Middleton the ones that suffer is Lopez Beasley Crowder when Giannis is playing to stop

Giannis you need Brook Lopez man to be in the lane you need Crowder’s man to be in the lane and that’s how they get their open shots right so it’s it’s it’s one of those both teams got to set the three they’re The Three Amigos so you

Got to figure out how all of those guys can play well together I I just think look it is what it is um I look at it like when we play whether I win or lose I was trying to gather as much information as I possibly can just in

Case I had to see this team came down the road cuz I so I wanted to see in certain situations down in distance how they played me because I realized they’re going to play me different than they play any other tight end so I’m trying to gather as much information

Five catches for 50 yards 10 catches for 120 yards it didn’t matter I’m trying to gather as much information I can win or lose I think the Bucks looking at this says look guys look how they shot the three and they got a bunch of them up

And we know they’re going to get a bunch of Threes up but we were right there now yanis book y yanis gonna get 30 and 10 I don’t give a damn what you do Boston you can’t stop that he getting 30 and 10 the question is can Dame give me 27 to

30 officially for the SE for the the the whole series yes he’s GNA have to be that nah not well you know how you said you collect information yes well that’s Doc’s that’s Doc’s weakness oh Lord have Mery there you go because no because exactly what you said you

Said they’re looking at this game and said we didn’t have Giannis yes that is his gon that’s his speech in that locker room as we speak hey you know guys we kept fighting back we played hard uh you know we didn’t have Yannis today look

What we did we put them on the bricks they made this we did that W and then play them exactly the same damn way the very next game he doesn’t adjust well because he makes up an excuse for why they lost so he’s okay with we fought

Hard instead of going in there and said we didn’t do this well we need to clean this up we need to clean this up and then go into the next game with a different game plan he’s going to go into the same the the the next game with

The same exact game plan and wonder why he can’t win around well how about this even if Dame doesn’t well because if Dame look I need to get somewhere between 55 and 65 points between Dame and Giannis because I can’t because I can’t count on the other three

Starters to give me 25 to 30 so I need at Le I need at least that because if Dame gives you less than 20 can I expect Beasley to have a game where he goes for 25 can I expect Crowder to have a game where he goes for 25 now uh uh

Lopez Lopez he hit some Miss I mean there have been games he goes 12 or 14 makes four eight from the three so he can give you 20 The X Factor is going to be Chris Middleton because you know come playoff time Gil them games happen every

Other day ain’t no two days rest ain’t no the biggest rest you’ll get is between games two and three yep gotta travel you get a couple extra days and then boom you back at it y so if if if if Giannis and Dame do what

They do and Middleton can give me 20 I like their chances because Bobby poris is gonna give me some gonna give me 15 to 20 Off the Bench yeah you you will hope yeah when when it comes to uh playoffs it’s a little different because you get that Playbook

Up you get that Playbook and know exactly what everyone does we we know exactly what you do we know when Giannis goes left his passing percentage is 10% so we’re going to push him left knowing that he don’t pass the ball going left he’s gonna take that

Shot right so all of that is gonna be put into it so you do need a Bobby Porters we just need one game of you being good right Lopez we just need one game of you being good and that have the playoffs do so you’ll take your three

Guys right and you say all right we have Giannis Middleton and um Dame between the three of you this is how it’s we need at least 60 points from the three of you everybody else chip in we’re expecting out of the other five players one of you

Guys have 15 to 25 one game just be great for one game and that’s how the series goes you just got to be great for one game during the season now if you want to have three or four games and help us get out of the series perfect right but but for the

Most part you’re not expecting your bench to be dominant like that because it’s a four game series so people are getting cut off and it’s basically Stars being Stars right well I’m gonna need listen I’m gonna need the bucks big three Middleton Giannis and and and Dame

They got to give me at least 70 because I know jannis is gonna give me 30 so if Dame Dame Dame’s gonna give me 25 so can can midon give me somewhere between 15 and 20 on a nightly basis here playing 30 playing 30 to 35 minutes I think he

Can give you 15 um it all depends on what team you guys are playing first um if you’re playing Miami right uh it needs to be switched around Giannis needs to be at about 20 to 25 Jan gonna give 20 25 you losing if L if jannis scores 20 25 points you losing

Unless Dame goes hay why gives you 40 to 45 J can’t give you he has to give you his average Gil oh no if he gives you if he gives you 30 if he gives you 30 35 that means he’s playing into Miami’s defense be selfish we that’s why he can’t beat them

Because that defense is designed to cut off everybody else and just let you score so he is gonna have to become a passer just for that series he’s gonna have to let everybody eat and he be the decoy some of these playoff game it’s just like a receiver right right

Sometimes you got to be a decoy run your route hard to make everybody look oh and then we’re going we’re going we’re going to beat up on this side a little bit right he’s never learn he thinks he can just I’m gonna get it this year I’m

Gonna get it this year they you know they’ve been playing me great I’m Gonna Keep that’s not how it is they have you they have your number and the number they have is you trying to score 3035 and if you score 30 35 your team loses

If you score 15 25 five your team wins pick it he’s never picked the 15 to 25 well they do a good job they got bam and Bam does a good job uh obviously they’re gonna help some but bam does a good job of defending him but I think now you

Can’t load up on him because they’ve never had to defend somebody like Bane that was running riding shotgun with it so them loading up trying to Build That Wall okay yeah look we know he’s gonna get one or two charges a game because he gets in his mind like I’m put head I’m

Going to the rim damn y’all yeah yeah yeah but he’s never had a guy like d as great as holiday was he ain’t D on the offensive end and so I think that’s that’s where they could uh uh uh the Bucks has an advantage this time around

If they were to meet because the Celtics are L clear of Milwaukee they’re 55 and 14 Milwaukee is 44 and 25 uh there’s only a six game there’s only six games separating two through eight in the East Miami the e seed in the eighth slot 38 and 31 and

Milwaukee’s in the two two spot 44 and 25 yeah and you know and the the team that’s in the seventh and the eighth they had trouble with both of them because it look IND the I ain’t looking to play no defense make miss out of bound foul they looking to push well

I mean in the playoffs that plays like that plays of the Bucks you know everyone’s going to look at oh man Indiana did hey it’s the playoffs right and in the playoffs the game naturally just slows down it becomes a little tougher you know those those refs really let you play whistle

You know they they play to the Stars so IND ain’t got any yeah Indiana is gonna be at a disadvantage in the playoffs against the Bucs even though their their their record in regular season has been dominant against them
