Highest points ever for a Bucks player in a debut. Was insanely clutch in this close game - as a Bucks fan I couldn’t be happier right now.

Bucks got this dude for almost nothing too (compared to his value) insane work by the FO
Y’all we tried to tell y’all. Dames a top 10 level type of dude in the clutch and in a general sense he’s one of the best scorers/guy you want bringing up the ball in the league. This was a slam dunk deal for Milwaukee.
I don’t give a buck, it’s all about the Lakers baby ;]
Everytime I see this guys name I think it’s the actor who played Shaggy from the live action Scooby Doo movies.
Milwaukee vs. Dallas in the Finals please. Dame & Giannis vs. Kyrie & Luka
I don’t want to shit on anybody’s Shreddies, but I don’t like the look of this.
It’s one game, so not a big deal, and they got the W.
But I see a problematic pattern here.
Giannis is the most dominant force in the league.
Him and Dame running the pick-and-roll? The goal should be getting it back to Giannis with Dame taking it to the hole if there is an open lane.
Sure… FGA look similar: 22 Giannis; 20 Dame.
But Dame took 17 free throws.
Giannis had 9
If Dame is taking the lion’s share of the shots, this will not be good long term for the Bucks.
And it looks already like Dame is trying to assert himself.
I’m sure as the season moves along, there will be a better balance, but it this is it? I’m not impressed with a 1-point win and Giannis shooting under .500 from the field.
And if this team just runs like Dame Time… well… we’ve seen how that end in Portland for over a decade now.
Dude what? Giannis is obviously one of the best players ever, but tonight, we was awful. Terrible decision making, bad shot choices, constantly going 1v3. This team won in spite of Giannis tonight.
The goal should never be to do one thing or the other…the goal should be to make the correct play…if they trap dame, dish it off to giannis and let him play downhill 4v3…if they try to stick to giannis, dame lets it fly or drives.
We’ll see as the season progresses.
As soon as this deal was made, my concern was Dame ability to defer.
It may be unjustified, but the season will tell.
I feel like I’m making up lost time on Dame. We’d, imagine him being behind a big/championship franchise and having him balling out every night. Fucking my favourite player already, he keeps this up and the rest of mainstream US is going to learn his name really quickly
Damian Lillard had more rebounds than Joel Embiid
