Just had to counter all those ridiculous posts early on blaming Dame for the Bucks defense as if it was solely his fault. Dudes not even the worst defender in the starting lineup

Just no idea why Griffin wants an aggressive trapping type defense on a team with so many older players.

    talk your shit Blazer fans.

    in reality the loss of jrue holiday is the biggest thing. Brook is not playing drop as much as he should, i mean ive seen Brook guarding the perimeter more in these 9 games that I saw all last year

    maybe…just maybe…Adrian Griffin is a fuckin dumbass

    It’s just two games, dude. Couldn’t you just wait a bit more to get a better sample size to suck Dame? Your beloved guard is the worst defender on that team.

    Losing Jrue and Lopez/Middleton getting older are both big issues

    two things are true:

    -they’re trying new defensive schemes and there’s going to be missteps

    -having dame and beasley as your backcourt heavily affects what kind of defensive schemes they can run

    lmao Ame Lillar is so bad he drags down the Bucks’ defense even when he’s not playing.

    Missing out on Nick Nurse might’ve been the biggest fumble of any hopeful contender last offseason

    I mean… I know a lot of the louder people blame Dame specifically, but I think you also have to acknowledge that a lot of the concern about the Bucks defense also has to do with them also losing one of their perennial defensive pillars in Jrue.

    This whole post is useless. All these same people claiming to have predicted the Bucks’ downfall will immediately reverse course when they inevitably go on a 12 game win streak at some point when they figure all of this stuff out.

    Major roster change that is arguably a lateral move to begin with and a rookie head coach. Did you guys really think they would go 82-0?

      Jrue to Dame is not a lateral move lol. That’s the problem. Marcus smart to Jrue is a lateral move

      Dame is a top 3 PG in the entire NBA. That should be a massive upgrade. That’s the problem.
