Man 2020 Bucks before covid was unreal in the regular season

We did well enough last time against cs

lean iron

#

Team has no identity

#

no clue half the time

ocean veldt

u guys arent even listening to hard house music rn are u

lapis lion

#

at least we cut the lead at the end

ocean veldt
#

thats the real problem

remember when we won the championship

ivory prairie

That was fun

ocean veldt
#

everyone go have a good saturday nite

#

its just a game

#

can i lock thiis and ignore #đŸ‡ș🇩│general for a bit?

plucky ridge
#

Dame broke, provides nothing.
not even breaking down defenders and making assists.
hes starting to try on defense, but, hes not even a mediocre defender.

Malik isnt a good defender. and we keep using him like he is.

midds is better with lower mins.

brook 3p shooting is down. and we dont use him in the post.

bench can b complete poop.

even tho marjon and ajj are young, they need to be used more so they can get all of their mistakes out now

ocean veldt
#

i agree with some thiings

urban creek
#

We need to trade Bobby at the deadline. We can get some good stuff in return for him.

lean iron
#

Xepno had his list ready

unborn yew
urban creek
#

And then we need to get like a Alex Caruso or something too

plucky ridge
#

lets not even talk about our coaching staff.

we blitzing the dribbler.
and theyr just getting right into the lane.

yea, wer defending the 3p shot well, but now, wer giving up the most post in the paint

unborn yew
#

Harsh but truthful

tacit haven
#

Without the d

ocean veldt
#

@plucky ridge ^^

lean iron
#

the fifth starter will be here at the deadline

lapis lion
#

i agree with all these, but they're all minor things. nothing to stress about so much, let alone push the panic button

lean iron
#

I’ve said it since before the season started

urban creek
#

We need to walk into Fiserv Monday and destroy the Jazz so we are ready for Boston

lean iron
#

The deadline will make or break us, like last year’s Lakers

plucky ridge
#

wer not subbing the last 7mins of games.

this Dame plays all of Q1 and Q3, seems dumb to me.

im glad we actually ran plays tonight, but, wer not consistent with this at all. it needs to be every game. and wer not even getting to the 3rd option of our sets. its 1 or 2 passes then shoot.

urban creek
#

So I didn't watch like any of the game, only saw scores. What happened in the first half?

ivory prairie
#

I don't think people are in panic but a change up should happen

tacit haven
plucky ridge
#

i havent seen 1 mock trade that looks legit.

#

Pacers snap win streak I’m happy

tacit haven
#

Dame has been absoluteky cooked

#

god knows why

lapis lion
#

not really, he's at career averages

tacit haven
#

Godawful play by him

lapis lion
#

i didn't expect more

tacit haven
lean iron
tacit haven
#

hes literally bledsoe without the defense rn

plucky ridge
#

stats wise, Dame is what hes been.
BUT,
this is the best roster hes ever had.
he shouldnt have these poor games.
and it should b easier for him

ocean veldt
#

so philly sucks now?

lapis lion
#

you're bledsoe of knowing ball, don't disrespect dame dolla like that

ocean veldt
#

look at other teams

lean iron
#

Embiid is hurt

ocean veldt
#

boston can beat indy

lean iron
#

But the knicks cooked them yesterday it was crazy

tacit haven
ivory prairie
#

Yeah Embid missed the last few games

tacit haven
#

Some would expect him to be better with fucking GIANNIS

lean iron
#

He played yesterday

#

They still lost by 30

tacit haven
#

yet giannis is the one always carrying

lapis lion
lean iron
#

I would be willing to play a whole game where we play like Portland, if it would help Dame

ocean veldt
#

can i lock this

#

and have some peace tonite

lean iron
#

Giannis setting screens only

#

hehe

ocean veldt
#

or leave it for yall to debate

lean iron
#

yes i’m just joshing

plucky ridge
#

gimme some coaching names, that we could hire ?

#

either, in addition or in replacement

lean iron
#

I think it’s really delusional to expect Griffin to be fired

plucky ridge
#

cause, theres no rules about how many coaches u have or their pay

flint root
#

Didn't watch the game unfortunately but yet another disgraceful game from dame

solemn gyro
#

for real, he gotta play better

ocean veldt
#

tag me if someone goes too far

solemn gyro
#

Hopefully he gets it going soon

lean iron
#

Assistants: Any coaches that might be fired soon (Darvin)
Kenny Atkinson is still on the warriors I think?

ocean veldt
#

im disappointed in dame so far

#

hes running out of excuses

lean iron
#

And ofc international coaches

plucky ridge
#

Atkinson, would only b in replacement

lean iron
plucky ridge
#

i did

fathom basin
urban creek
#

Who wanted Nurse here

lean iron
#

I meant actual nba teams and front offices

plucky ridge
#

i thought Atkinson was best option and then Nurse

flint root
#

I think he had one game this year where I was impressed with his performance and that'd be the first

ocean veldt
#

a vet coach doesnt move the scale

#

we have the pieces

#

they are big boiis

flint root
#

(I might be forgetting one)

ocean veldt
#

why cant they learn how to share

#

and play together

lean iron
#

Dame played well in more than that game, but that was the only Dame time appearance you could say

ocean veldt
#

get that PNR on lock

lean iron
#

The game against the Mavericks was good

ocean veldt
#

and destroy teams w it

#

yeah

lean iron
#

Most of the Knicks games were good

ocean veldt
#

watch that tape

flint root
#

The trade of jrue was to make the offense so overwhelming that we couldn't be stopped and dame just hasn't delivered.

ocean veldt
#

pump urself up

#

see what works

lean iron
#

The thing is I feel like Dame has the ball plenty

flint root
#

We've lost our championship defence and we are left with an offensive black hole

lean iron
#

So idk what the solution is to get him going

lapis lion
#

dame has been clutch in at least half of our wins thus far, and he hasn't even found his consistency yet. you need to chill

lean iron
#

Even the lineups without Giannis he doesn’t cook

ocean veldt
#

i see WAY too much standing around

#

on offense

flint root
lean iron
ocean veldt
#

like if i did that iid get taken out of the game

lean iron
#

Bc Giannis makes it easy

ocean veldt
#

standing and walking around

flint root
#

We can't keep making excuses for poor performances. It's not like he's having an average performance

#

They are just stinkers

tacit haven
lean iron
plucky ridge
#

offense has to be how we win games.

ocean veldt
#

AHHH

uneven portal
#

I wanna see the Jae/Ajax minutes around the big 3

ocean veldt
#

SHOUT CANISTER

lean iron
#

And I get all the complaints about coaching and defense but Dame has to deliver offensively

ocean veldt
#

FILL IT UP

uneven portal
#

Benching Cam Payne helped us tonight

#

Sadly, so did going away from Bobby in the 2nd

flint root
#

How could dame do this to us man

#

I loved that man like a brother

#

😩

ocean veldt
#

me to dame

tulip stream
#

How did we lose

plucky ridge
#

Brook shooting 32.6%
Pat 33.3
Bobby 34

thats not horrible.
only that Brook is taking 5, 3s per game.
probably should b less

flint root
tulip stream
#

Man

ocean veldt
uneven portal
#

The defense was actually pretty good in the second

tulip stream
#

Why we losing when G drops 48

#

Insane

ocean veldt
#

is that what he had

uneven portal
#

The first was just a layup line

ocean veldt
#

i didnt even know

tulip stream
#

Yeah

ivory prairie
#

Well the bright side is Bucks dodged the Beal bullet.
At least for now I would rather have Dame than Beal

tulip stream
#

I wasn't able to watch

#

So i just checked the box score

#

Whats happening to dame tho

uneven portal
#

Held them to what, 48 points in the second half?

tulip stream
#

Didn't he have his best season last season

flint root
#

This just can't be a thing

lean iron
#

The halftime adjustments were good but maybe too late? Idk

flint root
uneven portal
#

Yeah, he's off to a rough January

lean iron
uneven portal
#

The defense was not good in the first half tho

tulip stream
#

Dames on some negative new year new me

lapis lion
#

i'd rather him get all the bricks out of his system now than later

flint root
uneven portal
#

Ajax and Marjon got run over others in the second

lean iron
#

Ajax did really well

flint root
#

I know this stupid but you reckon he's tanking for that Miami trade 👀

uneven portal
#

Doubtful

flint root
#

I know there were rumours of him doing it before lol

tulip stream
plucky ridge
#

marjon averaging 15mins per
ajj 9mins

lapis lion
#

but i'm not disappointed at all, dame has been a dream come true. i have no doubt he'll perform when it matters

flint root
#

I doubt it too but just a conspiracy 😜

plucky ridge
#

only way for them to get more mins is for pat and malik to play less

tulip stream
flint root
plucky ridge
#

and then, what happens when Jae returns

uneven portal
#

Then Jae gets minutes if he's playing like he was at the start of the season

tulip stream
#

Take pat mins

lean iron
#

Maybe Dame needs to shoot a stupid amount of 3s against the Jazz

uneven portal
#

It's Pat who is in trouble of falling out here

lean iron
#

Pat will be gone

#

AJJ and MarJon minutes solved

flint root
#

I've never been really big on Pat's play tbh

#

I think it's because when I first started watching him he had a few stinkers so idk

tulip stream
#

Pat was quite good iirc in that championship run

chrome dock
uneven portal
#

I could see that Dunn rumor happening

flint root
plucky ridge
#

Pat in the finals was excellent

tulip stream
#

Someone said a lot of teams was chippy with the bucks cuz of ajj

uneven portal
#

Pat also was one of the only guys who could hit a shot against Miami/Boston the last two years

tulip stream
#

I don't even see him play a lot for him to cause it lol

chrome dock
#

Pat is basically a clutch shooter

tulip stream
#

Allens always gone

plucky ridge
#

my view,
we need to play like wer going to face the Celtics in the playoffs.
cause, we are

#

and that means Marjon and AJJ

gentle swallow
#

TEXANS TO THE SUPERBOWL

uneven portal
#

Well, Thursday is going to be telling

tulip stream
#

Will jae be back then i wonder

uneven portal
plucky ridge
#

i havent had any Cship vibes from this years Bucks team

#

started off with Griffin being the main issue

#

now, idk who else to blame

tulip stream
#

Do we blame dame or nah

#

Hes been pretty good ig

plucky ridge
#

we dont have good enough defenders.

so, can u blame the defense?

#

our offense is top 3 in the league

tulip stream
#

Not really if we don't have the personnel

lapis lion
#

i feel the vibes for you, don't worry this team is way too good to fail

uneven portal
#

We def need more defensive role players

plucky ridge
#

which is fine for the regular season.

but what happens in the playoffs when other coaches can study what we do and gameplan ?

tulip stream
#

Sometimes i think our roster is good as is

#

Sometimes i think we need to add another defensive piece

uneven portal
#

What we need is someone who can guard 1's

plucky ridge

# plucky ridge i havent had any Cship vibes from this years Bucks team

Before the season started I compared us to last year’s Lakers. So underwhelming until they got defenders at the deadline. That’s what I’ve expected and at times we’ve even exceeded my expectations. Horst built the roster around Jrue, now he’s about to build it around Dame

uneven portal
#

Between Crowder, Marjon, and AJJ the medium sized wings actually aren't the biggest issue compared to literally every point guard

lean iron
#

If the deadline doesn’t deliver it’s a different story obviously

tulip stream
#

Yeah we been getting cooked by PGs

uneven portal
#

Hell, Khris held up well on Green in the second once that matchup was swapped in

tulip stream
#

Y'all really think we gon trade for someone?

lean iron
#

We have zero guard defenders excepts a rookie. It’s very obvious but people make things complicated

plucky ridge
#

send me a trade scenario?
we dont have anything anyone wants.

lean iron
uneven portal
#

Neither did the Lakers

tulip stream
#

I might want a potential trade but we might not have the assets to

plucky ridge
#

even a future FRP and Pat or Bobby, isnt enticing

lean iron
uneven portal
#

Bobby has value

tulip stream
#

Yeah but

plucky ridge
tulip stream
#

Robin lopez

lean iron
#

And if they want to re-route Pat or keep him, fine with me

tulip stream
#

As a backup center

uneven portal
#

No Giannis becomes non-Brook center with Jae at the 4

lean iron
tulip stream
#

Was cousins bad for us

unborn iris
#

trade dame for trae (real)

uneven portal
#

Wizards don't need Pat

lapis lion
#

y'all are so convinced we need a trade, especially a lakers last mid-season overhaul. you are crazy. the roster is great as is

uneven portal
#

Cousins couldn't play D

lean iron
#

Pat’s gf plays for the houston dash. Send him to the rockets for all I care

uneven portal
#

I'm still enticed by Kris Dunn

lean iron
#

As long as a contender doesn’t get him

tulip stream
lean iron
#

There is always a trade of some kind

plucky ridge
#

im not convinced we need a trade.

i just dont think anyone will accept anything we have to give

uneven portal
#

2 mil isn't impossible to match and the Jazz are probably okay with another early 2nd to help a Vet out

#

I heard the announcers say that the Rockets go from like 3rd to 18th in drtg when Brooks is not playing so one good POA guy can go a tremendous distance

lean iron
#

Half these teams want draft compensation and don’t care who they get back

#

And Bobby and Pat still have value

#

If you get into the young guys, all of ours have potential. But I don’t want to trade any of them

tulip stream
#

Aj green?

lean iron
#

Robin is tradable salary too

tulip stream
#

Huh RoLo is tradable?

plucky ridge
tulip stream
#

Istg i read somewhere that he isn't eligible to trade

#

I forgot why

plucky ridge
#

some guys cant b traded til mid January

#

depends on when they signed

lean iron
#

Yeah that’s the only restriction on Robin

uneven portal
#

Definitely we lack the personel to play blitz

plucky ridge
#

Bucks have the 2nd best opponent 3p%

teams shooting 33.2% vs us

#

rockets best 3p defense, 33%

#

this was before the game

lean iron
#

we flipped Bud’s defense on its head

plucky ridge
lean iron
plucky ridge
#

but, maybe an adjustment.
lighten up on the over agressive 3p defense, cause teams r scoring in the paint, a lot

lean iron
#

But right now it just looks weird

#

And a weird defense would be acceptable if we were still scoring 140 every night, but we need Dame and the bench to make that happen

#

If we trade for a 5th starter and move Malik to the bench, more possibilities arise

plucky ridge
#

yea, thats the plan right now.
score more points.
defend the 3 and hopefully Brook can defend the rim
