We're really excited to get more Legler and Dunker Spot on these shows. Be sure to subscribe to get some good hoops talk!
They're offense is elite now
Who tf stole my name?
how about Tammy/Tommy?
Giving dame real solid defensive players as well. Dame hasnt ever really had that to back him up
Tim Legler! This is gonna be awesome
I see a lot of deep Transition Offense 3-pointers from Damian Lillard before even thinking about a Pick & Roll. Hopefully Damian Lillard moving without the ball receiving "Away Screens" in 5-Out Offense.
Giving Damian Lillard a 3-point shooting Center in Brook Lopez is better than playing for the Miami Heat with Bam Adebayo.
Perfect fit fit this podcast. Can’t wait to watch the bucks
Biggest thing is Dame didn’t demand Giannis or a super team. He wasn’t chasing a ring with another superstar. He was blessed with this trade
Nuggets win a championship now everyone wants to do it
Same hasn’t won anything , stop talking about him like he’s a champion
Brook Lopez gets overlooked a lot, he a hall of famer.
Tim Legler is one of the easiest commentators to listen to and learn from. No frills, no hyperbole, just facts and logic.
Double Pulverize was crazy 😂
Wait what happened to Tommy
Buck's defense is the perfect place for Dame. I think defensive stoppers is a myth at this point, though I concede that good perimeter guard and wing defensive capability is necessary.
You got both guys that can give you 30 one can shoot and pick and roll and another that can feast on you in the paint that can play both ends of the floor and is a good playmaker and not only that you got Lopez can shoot and be a animal on the interior defensive end and the rest knows their roll it’s gonna be fun and scary playing against a healthy bucks especially with Dame and Giannis together
Wish this happen sooner Dame already 33 but 33 in 2023 not the same as 33 in 2003 I feel dame might have another 3-4 prime year left because of his play style.. Gianni’s bein 28 with at least 7 prime years left and they both don’t have to do everything anymore going to be tought to beat.. Giannis put on more muscle this his revenge season after hearin Jokic best player in nba all summer can’t wait to watch them play.. They gone b what Embiid and Harden should’ve been
Aside from all the stats and accolades DAME has been maybe the most professional player this franchise has ever had. There will never be another Damian. POR was so fortunate to have him.
ROY
7x All-Star
7x All-NBA team

Damian owns the MLK Jr. Day NBA scoring record of 61pts. Ironic.
DAME scoring 50 points the day Kobe passes is poetic. KOBE was the KING of the 50 point game <3
DAME is loved in POR and cemented his HOF status without playing another NBA game. Oakland, Ogden, Oregon. The Letter "O" Damian Lamonte Ollie Lillard. Thank you!
If you are going to have these guests on the show, they need to have better mics.
Big time sixers fan but giannis and dame are 2 of my favorite players. This is a dream in fantasy basketball heaven hope they ball out
omg tim and dunker spot, so good
Not enough being talked about the assistant terry stotts!! Great offensive coach and gets to coach dame again!
I said it before JJ will definitely win awards he just knows what he's doing and saying but he doesn't bore you I fuk wit u JJ
Thing is people say Heat got worse. I’m not sure they got worse. They actually have a better team than they did last year when they were the 8th seed. They added some good depth even if they don’t have another superstar. They have those 2 young guns. There’s a thing called continuity. And still have coach spo. With Jimmy anything is possible
I'm thinking with last year's elimination. Having Jimmy go off against jrue and not matching up much against Giannis. Mix that with a new head coach, I don't think Giannis will hesitate asking to guard the top guy. There won't be much from Griffen either. Expect giannis to go bananas on defense now that he has a 30 point scorer and almost two 20 point scorers for him to save his energy on that end of the court. Giannis will average 27
I ve been saying it three years now, bucks didnt play pick n roll, didnt have a system offencively, i believe that now we gonna how powerful giannis is gonna be in a good system…
Wow he said Andre Jackson. He like a Desmond Mason type wit like a football mentality
This is not visually pleasing, we have to lose the backgrounds
Giannis has not played alongside an MVP caliber player in his life. This is a lebron-wade in Miami feels to it. Total destruction of the league
Bro I’ve been waiting forever for JJ’s reaction😂😂
Great podcast keeps getting better. (Still believe Giannis needs to be more a complete player, especially on free throws, for Bucks to really have no weaknesses)
Is D'Antony a good choice to coach or be a consultant?
Good stuff j, giving people opportunities on a big platform that’s dope.
Who’s are these goofy goobers
Is this a safe place to be honest? 😂
y’all sucking Tim Legler like Nekias and Steve aren’t the geniuses here
Murda Mook Knows Basketball?
I'm hoping that Adrian Griffin will allow Giannis to defend some of the talented wings. It wasn't really Bud's thing. He always preferred Giannis to be the least capable offensive player to provide help.
As a Milwaukee resident and bucks fan who cares who jj thinks in regards to the bucks when he never wanted to play for us when we was at the bottom of the league
I like the take about López being effective in the PnR and PnP….
The background of those two guys is giving me a headache
Bro Dame aint setting a screen for nobody 😂
