Adrian Griffin listened to his team and let Brook Lopez play where he’s most comfortable, the end result was a dominant performance as the Milwaukee Bucks opened up the NBA In-Season Tournament by beating the New York Knicks. Oh by the way, Damian Lillard struck again

still doesn;t like the way the offense play… need to change griffin to championship caliber coach.
I really like how you added a list of topics listed in the graphics "On Today's Show". Nice touch, I love the preparation!
Coach Griff needs to take Pat Connaughton out of the Rotation unless he's able to get a lot better really quickly. Give his minute to Marjon. I don't know what's wrong with Pat but he's been really bad ever since he returned from Injury last year. He's now over 30 years old and might be one of those guys that hit a wall at 30 years old.
thats good that he's listening to players, now i hope the players can tell him who to have out there, most coaches have no clue how to have the right guys out there, goerge karl was the worst of all time, if they on your bench and they better then play them its that simple
AJAX Per 36 is hilarious. He's averaging 5/14/11 as a SG. When this kid gets going full time he's gonna be a walking triple double. He will be a more athletic version of Draymond Green. What an amazing pick this kid was.
Love Camille & Justin on this show. Hate when Frank is on here though. Can't even watch it
I hope this is the defense we can expect. 29th in defensive rating is scarier than Halloween.
Like the offensive punch Beasley can provide. But would much rather see it come as a 1-2 punch off the bench with Bobby. Those 2 leading way with Lillards second unit. While we allow Crowder to fill 5th starting spot/ closing spot most nights unless matchup requires something specific. He has just looked great out there, making smart plays, and big shots. Loving his energy. If we make that switch + get Middleton off minute restriction I think we will start to find are way.
Jerseys were horrendous, absolutely ridiculous
Dame, as long as he doesn't take a step back, will remain a really good offensive player. So far this season, he's just really struggled shooting the 3. That said, even as a Dame fan, there was a possession during crunch time where he should've dove on the ball, didn't, and then gave up a 3. Luckily, he came back and hit a 3 on the other side.
Besides pick n roll with Giannis, Brook is probably the best shooting center that Dame has ever had. Bucks fans should really ask to see more pick n pops with Brook.
I like Marjon. A real sleeper. Great fifth starter or definitely 6th off bench. 🏀 🦌 ❤
I Guarantee. After Terry Stotts left. Dame was Pissed! He definitely let Coach Griffin know.
Checking in from #RipCity
Should-Be Top 8 Rotation:
Giannis
Dame
Khris
Brook
Bobby
MarJon
Malik
Andre
Top 9/11/14:
Jae
–
Pat
Cam
–
AJ
Robin
TyTy
Deep Reserves:
Thanasis
Chris
Marques
Lindell
MarJon should be starting and getting 20min/game, at minimum. Malik 1st guard off bench; Bobby 1st forward. Andre should be Giannis’ direct substitute giving him ~15min/game Giannis plays in; more when he doesn’t. Jae, Pat, Cam pick up any remaining competitive minutes. Play them by matchups w/ Jae as the 1st option (9th man in the rotation)
AJ more of a direct sub for Malik & Pat, if injured or struggling.
Robin a direct sub for Brook.
TyTy for Cam
Bucks need to prioritize & fast-track the development of MarJon & Andre; primarily, as Point-of-Attack defenders. They’ll need these two guys to have worked through their inconsistencies and learn from their mistakes during the early portion of the season. They need to show trust in them, inspire confidence. They’ll need their skillsets come the playoffs, so lean into their growth.
This podcast really isn't a daily podcast if you go 4 days without covering the team, gotta do better. Go bucks.
OMG Camille😍😍…but overall great show Justin did gud to…yall shuda hosted this thing long time ago
Dame definitely need the ball in his hands more! And I would love ❤️ to see both Dame and Giannis average closer to 25 shots a game😮. At least until Kris is healthy.
I can understand the positive aspect of Griff "listening" BUT this is also alarming. We as fans were already witnessing this from game 1 and we haven't coached a single sec. Griff should be picking up things earlier.
I see the light now Brook is back in the paint, good job from Griff for listening. I think it's one of the most fundamental adjustment for the entire season. But like Dame said, he needs to stand on his point in other aspects, I think both challenges where a bit lackluster. He doesn't need to challenge instantly because Giannis and Dame spin their fingers after a 50/50. The ability of Giannis and now Dame to get to the FT line will prove to be very valueable in the future, I think opponents will get in the bonus much earlier this season, giving Dame and others the opportunity to finish stronger at the end of 2nd and most importantly 4th quarters. The rebounding is the next topic to figure out for me, we have the lowest FGA per game in the league rn 30 of 30.
What scares me is the Bucks shot 51% from 3, and it was still close. They will not be able to shoot that well very often. Defense was better, but overall this game to me was not the long term recipe for success because having Crowder and Beauchamp go a combined 7/11 from 3 won’t last long.
Hi big Fan of GA since 2013……I said one time and is over TRADE MIDDLETON and PAT for Derozan and Caruso….you have big Problem….1)Defense 2 and 3 Spot,2)Healthy Option Number III, 3)Starting Line Up MarJon BeauCHAMP….30 Minutes a Game NOW!!!!!
