Does anyone else kinda feel like some of this is regressing to the mean
What
Highest scoring month in nba history now we are back to earth
We are supposed to be a contender
Iâm just saying. Averaging 140 for the month is crazy
how did lauri finish with 21 damn
One paper Bucks are a contender, but in reality is poor roster construction
We better keep it up cause we have no defense
felt like he was at 10 the entire game
He cooked in the 4th quarter
tru
Even on paper this roster is top heavy
We can probably even out around 125-130. But averaging 140 is historic for a reason
tbh it just seems like the team doesnt feel like scoring more than it feels like they cant score
watching the bucks last year it felt they were fundamentally broken on offense but this year offense comes easy to them w/ dame
tradeoff is now were fundamentally broken on defense lol
Dame is taking 25 shots a night and not hitting shit
I think we just canât score rn and obv it doesnât help we have no defense

That's why they need a defensive guard next to Dame, not Malik
Thatâs what the trade deadline is for
Beas is good to come off the bench to throw up some 3's
Ajax is not the answer either, idc
alex caruso type player
is pj still any good?
ajax is a good guy to insert for a bit to boost energy levels
people have truly convinced themselves a rookie solves the problem
Washed but ill take him because i have a soft spot
PJ is old and certainly canât start lol
but he fouls too much to be relied upon consistently in any opening/closing lineup
PJ is too old now
Tbh Dame being efficient makes the difference in these January games đ
Yeah
For sure
But we gotta find a way to win even if heâs in a slump
i trust papa horst to do some damage at the trade deadline
or just out
Weâd prolly have won last game if he wasnât laying bricks
Weâd def win the pacers game on new years
that's p much every game there's a loss
He was like 1-9 from 3 lmao
I also feel as if Dame sometimes doesnât fit well in the scheme if you know what i mean
he was cooking in the 4th q vs the spurs
Like they dont run good plays for him sometimes and just make him iso
apart from that its been very middling results
Often has to take tough shots
dame has saved us in 4th quarters and taken us out of them
4th q is when he 100% knows he's the guy, the other 3 q it seems he's trying defer way too much to whoever has the hot hand (usually G)
and I donât get this, because even Giannis tries to give him the ball
maybe he does need more plays called. but sometimes he just refuses to shoot
new city, new teammates, new franchise, new culture, idk
i just don't think dame wants to fuck anything up, but you need to find ways to fit in
whatever it is, hopefully they solve it
Yeah i just think he needs more plays, and i almost never seem him off ball either
There was that one possesion a few games ago where we ran an off ball play for Dame and it worked like magic
i think the big questions is, how much time to adjust is too much time to adjust. I'm not saying he's going anywhere, and I don't want him to, but it's just something to keep in mind
I hope he actually is happy in Milwaukee
Sometimes i worry he isnât
But i think its just the personal issues he has going on
he's just got a lot going on regarding the team and everything going on, so i definitely cut him some slack. there's a ton of pressure on his shoulders
hopping from a nobody team being the #1 his whole career to going to another team, being the second option, and already joining a championship contender
I just hope whatever he needs on the court is being expressed
Lord have mercy we win this Thursday
