Spot On About The bucks
regarding this tweet by NoTechBen on twitter who says
Glad the Bucks won — scrubs are fun — but pretty disappointed in the main guys this preseason. Giannis needs to accommodate Dame more. 3 threes and insisting on taking the ball up with Dame on the floor is just inexcusable. And I have…questions about the defensive approach.
Giannis got his coach and got his trade. He’s going to come in for more criticism if both don’t work out better than they have in the preseason, and it’s going to be legitimate.

No one should ever even give KOC the time of day on anything related to basketball, dude is a hack.
major giannis legacy season tbh. questionable how well any of dame/khris/brook will play past this year. this could be it, and injuring kyrie won’t be enough to get him a chip this year.
They gonna watch some tape and figure it out. They are gonna get wins while playing stupid too
Giannis and Dame have played I believe it’s now two games together? Two or three? Preseason games and not with the full compliment of starters until today? Let’s slow down a bit. It’s not gonna be a flick of the switch for either Dame or Giannis. It’s all very new for both and it’ll take a little time to adjust. Dame clearly remains a little rusty and doesn’t completely have his legs under him since he admittedly wasn’t doing a lot in the summer.
The coaching questions are fair since Griffin is a new coach, although I trust the principles Stotts instilled will work out in the long run…the defense questions are fair because they’re playing a more aggressive scheme than the one that has worked so well over the years and doing it with Brook who’s aging and Dame/Beas who are a pretty weak combo. Brook slides his feet OK on the perimeter and we know Giannis can but at their best the Bucks are a team that takes advantage of their twin towers in the paint and funnels offensive players into Giannis and Brook. That’s been the name of the game and it’s worked. We’ll have to see how Griffin and his principles work for Milwaukee. The stakes are extremely high for him and he can’t really afford to screw this up with the Bucks and their timeline being what it is.
A team that got embarrassed defensively in the playoffs trades out its best defensive player for another guy that’s never played defense is going to somehow have a better defense? How peculiar.
I don’t think Giannis needs to be initiating any offense when dame is in there. Giannis will be great with or without the ball. Dame needs the ball, and get get Giannis all of the looks he needs. Let me be coach, MIL.
Could be Dame wants Giannis initiating so he can play off-ball as a scorer. I know Dame has talked about how much he loves that dynamic between Draymond and Steph.
I promise you that dame does not want to play off ball no matter what he says publicly
At the very worst, Giannis the the second best player on earth. He won a title with the ball often in his hands. Saying that Giannis shouldn’t initiate ANY offense is an insane statement.
