When one of them says, "Get'em, Gil," you know he's about to say some profoundly stupid shit
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅
Said it like they were sic-ing a dog on us 😂
😂😂😂
Gilbert has always hated Giannis. And he hated him even worse when Giannis made him eat shit in 2021 when he won the title
He hates anyone raised in Europe
I think he right
he just hates everyone jokic, doncic. literally the best players are shit wtf. jokic worst mvp ever is so funny he is on pace to go top 10
Norris Cole was the only one with sense on that couch 😂
He's probably the only one who's watched Bucks games😂
@@robbiedontmissfacts lol
He's also the only champion
facts dude i went to listen to the original video and he was the only dude that was making good points
He played with actual champions so it makes sense😂
Gilbert Arenas's takes are so bad that they ought to be criminal.
Not always. But this time was pretty bad.
Isn't he doing it on purpose for ratings?
@@elmehdinafia1237more than likely yeah I think he’s even said he does that it’s for entertainment lol
@@MarkClaytonII I do think he dislikes giannis more than other players considering he's continously complained about him not being skilled to him not playing the full 45 minutes to whatever this is
He's either super right or super wrong
I swear u would think these guys never played professional basketball
I tell people all the time that "these podcasts/shows are windows to see what we already know: most of these dudes have no idea how to play the sport that they are the "top professionals" at. That's why "listen to players" is such a touchy subject to us."
Most pro athletes are dumb as shit. They didn't go to college to learn 😂
They got a platform because of their physical prowess, not their mental faculties. That seems to be a trend for most professional athletes where they might be great athletes but be absolute morons when talking about some topics
There’s a reason coaches exist. Pro athletes are comparable to agile boulders or maybe powerful jellyfish? All peripheral nervous systems no central.
@@xfacta334but yall know how to play sport becuz you watched it? We are suppose to believe that guys who couldn't get on the court or locker rooms or practices know more about the game than guys who actually were paid to play the game. Guys who experienced the game first hand dont know what they are talking about but guys who watch highlights and some league pass games know more about the game? Ok.
Maybe getting divorced, moving away from your kids to a new city and team affects a dude for a while?
He plays better when gianiss is out it’s shown
@@MrDuckman0852it’s his first year. Wade and Bron had these problems meshing together their first year as well.
That's his fault and his problem 😂

gilbert got advanced cte
Says a dude from his couch that never played high level basketball lmao
@tierlistpapi7241 playing on the highest level of basketball does not equate to high level basketball IQ takes. IE Kendrick Perkins, Ryan Hollins, Gilbert Arenas, Shaq, etc.
LMAO
@@slackerofhell yea because I’m suppose to listen to some random dude in the comment section basketball knowledge over a proven player lol.
@@tierlistpapi7241 oh please. The proven players say all kinds of dumb shit on a daily basis. Not all professionals know what they're talking about. Everybody I mentioned proves my point.
I find it really embarrassing how former players who’ve actually played in the Nba like Gil and perk keep talking about Giannis as if he’s supposed to be number 2 to dame who’s won NOTHING Dame has been inconsistent all season of course it’s not fully his fault since the bucks switched coach mid season but efficiency wise he’s simply been poor compared to his time in Portland that’s a fact so for them to keep saying giannis has to sacrifice this has sacrifice that is ridiculous, dame needs to start playing more off ball and not stand like a cone the second he hands the ball to Giannis.
Exactly. There are other ways for Damian to impact the game when he isn’t handling-just like giannis does when he isn’t.
I’d imagine he’s struggling to play off ball bc of the Portland experience. Hopefully dame adjusts soon
Are we just gonna ignore how great the bucks have been since all star break? I never seen a 2 seed get shit on so much😂
Low has been pretty nasty with the bucks hate this season. It's weird, even last night against OKC again proved dame isn't a bad defender. He's hoping they fail fr. Yet if you let Low tell it he's the worst defender of all time.
They are the two seed but they are not good enough to win in the playoffs the way they're playing. Super inconsistent and awkward. The Celtics seem like a much better team. Their talent is carrying them in the regular season but once we get into the playoffs, they have lots of flaws thatll be exploited especially with their bad coaching and bad chemistry.
@@yofat696 the bucks without giannis almost came back and beat them in boston. People also forget that the big 3 has barely played with each other all year and when they do them boys are clicking
@@Immaculatecap Yeah, out of all the games Lillard shoots 50%+ FG, the Bucks have only lost 1 game (and that close game was without Giannis too). They pretty much need Lillard to do well, I feel like Giannis will be consistent (and Khris as a third option will always cook).
@@yofat696 The Celtics just blew a 30 point lead today by a bad Hawks team while they almost blew a 20 point lead against Milwaukee not even a week ago. The Celtics haven't proven anything
The current Bucks is a better team than portland had around Dame while in a better situation than previously
so?
So its easier for Dame to win playing his way than it is for Giannis to plays his. Thats all. It is a SGs league. Giannis is not that. I blame coaching more than anything.
its a shooting guard league with 2 out of 3 FMVP's being BIgs and the last 3 MVP's being big men. stfu@@rulerjayohenn3161
Lebron and JJ are gonna be such a breath of fresh air from guys like this
Edit: Today I learned that 95% of people who watch basketball dont actually understand basketball and think X's and O's are boring 🙃
They are corporate skills. They will suck as well.
My hot take is they will be better but I still think they will have some real flaws, I feel like they’d be on the opposite end of the spectrum from Gil and them
Maybe not lebron hollywood ass.
@@RafaelGarcia-jb3me agree
@@RafaelGarcia-jb3meYo
Is it even a question anymore that Gil and his ilk have a bias towards foreign players? Giannis is inarguably the 2nd best player in the league behind Joker, and yet it's his fault that Dame can't hit a 3? Stop it!
In my mind Giannis is better than Joker. I just don’t see how Joker is definitely the best player in the league.
@@joshuaarawole8589 Apparently people have made it a fact that Joker is better than Giannis. lol
Giannis is better than Joker- he's a better two way player
@@snakey973I consider them 1A 1B it doesn’t really matter who’s on top as long as it’s one of them two.
@@SpiegelmanSzn word
me: how are u gil ?
gil: the european guy is SUS !
People talk about how the bucks are 16-1 when Dame scores 30+ nobody mentions Giannis stats during those same games which is like 30 11 and 6 the problem is a lot of their losses Giannis has those same stats and Dame is missing so basically when both show up they win when Giannis just shows they mostly wins
One note about Giannis in the PNR- not only is he still learning how effectively roll, but I think he has trouble with how to set a good screen without getting called for an illegal screen, whereas other players get away with it all the time. Brook Lopez is an excellent screen setter because of his size but also because it's a borderline moving screen every time. He gets called for it every so often but he makes it worth it. Giannis doesn't seem to be able to hit that same sweet spot, and everything he does on the court is under a microscope. So he either sets screens that are timid and easy to get around or he fails to get away with a push or moving screen like many of the other bigs in the league do.
Not even that it seems like he try’s to roll to early so it’s very easy to slip his screen
Giannis screens are fine dame just wait too damn long to pass the ball. All he is doing is looking to score. If this was Steph or someone else it would have been better.
"They double off of Giannis' man" - Gilbert Arenas claiming teams are leaving GIANNIS unguarded to throw help at Dame when they're on the floor together
So let me get this straight, Giannis is having his best offensive season of career but it's his fault for the teams struggles? Dame is missing white open threes and quiet as keep Middleton has been a pnr passer than Dame this year.
3-1 vs 0-5 doesn’t help ur argument tbh
@@boondocksso8898Small sample size. The numbers on general show the Bucks are worse when Giannis is off the court
@@ImmaculatecapFor the Bucks the reach their full potential Dame is going to have be the main pnr ball handler. Hopefully for the Bucks, the dame giannis pnr needs to be great for them to beat Boston. Middleton Giannis pick and roll has a higher floor but the Dame Giannis pick and roll has the higher ceiling.
I like that higher floor/ceiling comment.
Not surprising since Giannis is European, he'll blame him instead of Dame.
Noris Cole was spitting here, they need to let him cook!
Norris cole knows basketball, he's simply saying thay giannis makes it easier for everyone and they should be able to hit wide open shots when doubling or tripling on giannis
When Giannis doesn’t play they get blown out
So we pretend like the Milwaukee team isn’t 10x better than any team Portland has had aside from 2 years of his career and that’s minus Giannis . Crazy to say for some reason players would rather play for Milwaukee than for Portland they couldn’t recruit any one of real value to effect the team
The Bucks have looked like a different team with Doc and we literally have one of the best offenses in NBA history with Dame, Giannis, and K Midd in the lineup. Yes, Dame performs better when the offense is ran through him. The team is the best when we run the offense through the mismatch. Period.
I think some of yall dont know what people mean when they say they want to run the offense thru dame. Its more he should be the guy to have the ball and set everything up and have to make descions. Like to give it to post ups and go in pnrs and stuff like that. Other than have him in the corner while Giannis has it at the top of the key. Cause it feels like dame plays better when hes more involved in the offense and the team in general does as well. Its not take Giannis out of the offense and play him like a role player cause they still gonna give it to him in the post and on dives and even on isoes but its more have the ball in dames hands and make everything go. And this will help everyone cause dame aint curry where he doesnt need the ball but he is way more effective and even if you give him the ball and gets trapped and he passes it that will help get 3v4 situations. Also people saying hes bad at pnr playmaking and passing are dumb cause he has been for the past 4-5 years but yall just live in the past.
@@collinwallace7107I’ve been watching every game this season, and Dame isn’t as great of a passer as people make him out to be. I’d argue the Bucks best passer is actually Khris Middleton, but unfortunately he’s not a great ball handler. Dame’s got two things he does very well. He’s really great at making tough outside shots, and he’s super quick, which makes him an excellent slasher. He only really draws doubles out at the 3 point line. Giannis draws doubles in the post. Middleton cooks with them both out there because Middleton sees the attention they get and makes the right play.
The Giannis/Dame/Middleton trio on the court has an offensive rating of 125 and a defensive rating of 107. This is tops in the nba.
It’s overblown that there are actually any major issues. People may want Giannis to be a traditional big, but he’s not. What makes him so scary is off the dribble, what he can do to get to the rack in a different way than Dame does.
Dame is a solid passer mind you. But man, he misreads passing angles and awful lot and is t good at lob passes (and never was good at them in Portland either).
Dame is great at closing games.
Also, nobody wants to talk about it but Dame has been a really good defender, especially under doc. Same straight up said he told doc he’s ready to play defense because he doesn’t feel like he has to carry the load on offense, and it shows. He’s doing very well on that end.
I think people like Gil, who admittedly has trashed Giannis for years, is going to think the guy with the “biggest bag” should be running the show. Never mind lillard is an aging player who has never won while Giannis is in his literal prime.
In the end, the trio is a world beater, and people are talking out their ass
and also people need to realize Dame is our only PG of course we are 1-5 without him. We traded all our pgs guys for him. And in all the games Giannis missed we haven't faced a team that applies rim pressure like that
Dame has to adjust. All his career he is used to play with role players who screen him. Now he needs to show he can play with a superstar
As a dame fan it's all on him he can't produce when giannis on the floor for sum reason
Hasn’t Dame had more series where he’s performed well besides the Denver series or am I tripping? Not much NBA knowledge so that’s a genuine question.
Low was just saying that was the last time. Of course Dame has had great series before then
@@superiorvibes4639 it’s such a disingenuous take though because that was literally the last time he was in the playoffs
@@Yntag I get what you’re saying but we also expect top 10-15 players to at least make the playoffs. I’m not going to act like there isn’t reasons and contract for him missing but we have to either acknowledge he’s a number one option who didn’t get it done or he’s a number 2 option and we’re just holding higher than we should
@@superiorvibes4639 i mean dame was injured the season after that one and he only played like 29 games, the next season is less excusable but he averaged 32 7 and 5 it’s just a testament to how bad Portland is rather than how credible dame is. The 2019 wcf is a much more valid showcase of him underperforming and that’s what I’m really worried about is him choking then.
His playoff numbers are awful for the most part. He has had so,e iconic moments but he is a massive playoff dropper, his percentages and numbers are worse than hardens who is also a dropper (particularly in close out games).
Gianni’s’ offensive gravity arguably gives dame the most space he has ever had.. similar to how when Zion is on the floor and anywhere within the 3 pt line he gets doubled Giannis gets the same treatment which should give dame more open looks and more efficient shots from behind the arc
Idk how many times I have to say this... ITS NOT 2K PLAYERS NEED TO GET ACCUSTOMED TO EACH OTHER ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'VE BEEN THE SOLE STAR ON THEIR TEAM FOR 5+ YEARS.. Mfs expect players to figure it out too fast fr this microwave generation smh
Anybody who knows basketball knows this💯Giannis needs to play off bal. Dame is the better half court player while Giannis is the ultimate X factor
Didn't Dame play with Hassan Whiteside and Ends Kanter
i think i found my new favorite NBA analysis channel
I don't know why people don't get this. Giannis should be the anchor on the team, defend, get rebounds and points on offense, but leave the ball movement, floor spacing and offensive pace to dame.
Nobody is saying one is better than the other, when stating accolades obviously Giannis comes out on top but Bucks having Dame and not balancing out the offense to dame and defense to Giannis would be downright stupid.
Giannis needs to do what Steph did for KD in warriors for dame, give him enough space to be himself and take a few steps back, assess his leadership role by leading from the back instead of the front.
Unlike kobe and shaq, Giannis and dame are not aggressively dominant but they are both just as stubbornly set in their ways and mindset, as shaq put it to dame during the all star weekend to stop playing nice and walking on eggshells around each other, someone has to bring in the conversation that if both of them don't work in tandem no matter how close they get to the goal, they'll fall short. I hope for dame's sake he gets a break and gets three titles at the least with Giannis and the bucks as a team, and maybe an mvp. Hope it works out. Praying with anticipation.
Arenas point of view is not wrong guys it's just the delivery and there's no need to bash dame for everything. Wish he went to miami and just got to the finals rather than hear all this bullshit day in day out, it's a team game and dame is accountable for his actions.
I wonder what it will take to get for dame to get some respect.
He has a point though. Dame has been hooping they played the top 4-5 teams with out Giannis and won. The problem isn’t Giannis, it’s how they gonna figure out getting portis and the others involved because the ball doesn’t really swing that much when it’s just dame and Giannis , but when one or the other is out the team is genuinely hooping. They just gotta figure out rotations that’s all whether it’s dame finishes with the second unit and Giannis starts with them. But the bucks talent wise on paper are actually stacked 😂
Difference is Dame has been way more aggressive without Giannis.Also, the suns and clippers aren't top 5 teams recently no offense to them.The Clippers recently have been garbage. They literally blew a 20pt lead in the 4th to Dame with no Khris or Giannis. The Suns game KMidd came back and the team shot like 60% from 3. Nurkic left Bobby wide open like a dumbass. The Celtics game its more about the Celtics than the Bucks because they were controlling the game by 15+ points till like the last 3min they left the door wide open for us. But yes Dame is 100x more aggressive vs complacent.
@@kofig8357 ohh yeah my bad the suns are not ass but they just switch off defensively. Also tbh I think the teams that are secured 1-5 already are just slowing down a bit and getting ready for the playoffs because we out here watching Celtics blow a 20 point lead to the hawks and same as the clippers going on a crazy bad run when they were doing so well. I do understand your points and they are actually really valid! But for me the bucks are the most stacked team in the league when everyone’s healthy, from bench to the starting five. Only team I see with a close to crazy bench when they have everyone is the clippers with Russ leading them.
Look at the last game when Khris and Giannis came back, versus when Giannis was out. For all the knuckleheads, just because Giannis is the better player doesn’t mean he needs to be the offensive focus. It’s like saying your PCP should be treating your heart problem instead of a specialist. Lol
I love how someone that hasn't gotten out of the first round has all of the answers on what it takes to win in the playoffs.
Damien is cold man you can’t hardly win without that guy or anybody can say what they want. I’m glad Milwaukee Bucks got that guy.
That last time he looked good in the post season comment makes no sense because that was literally the last time he was even in the playoffs.
Then how doesn’t it make sense
@@ScumBA445 because he was talking down. That sentence on its own isn’t inherently wrong but he was shitting on dame and made no sense.
@@Yntag I didn’t see it as him shitting on dame I saw it as him saying we can’t rely on dame in playoffs because for x amount of years we haven’t even seen him in the playoffs
Plus Dame has a way better than any team he had on the blazers
Dude be contradicting himself first he same dame cant do pick and rolls then goes to say oh hes more dynamic then Giannis on pick and rolls make up ya mine
As someone who has played in the P&R as the roller AND the ball handler with all types of different hoopers and tendencies, I understand what Gil is saying absolutely. The screener/roller is ALWAYS the common denominator. Fuck what coach says.
Youre poop
Low can make a whole channel just killin Gil’s takes fr
Everytime anyone talks about Giannis or the bucks it just reminds me that literally nobody watches them play lol
You hit the nail on the head.
Once Giannis retires few people would have actually seen full games of him.
Whenever you see people criticising his game, you immediately understand they dont watch the full games and they form.their opinion from highlights and some urban legends
I actually agree. Giannis is going to eat regardless. They need Dame and Giannis to be firing on all cylinders. Dame is going to be more difficult to get going than Giannis ever will.
As a actual bucks fan Lowe is right I’ve been arguing about why Adrian griffin should have not even been hired not only that no matter our record we have been beaten by Miami at times when we shouldn’t have it’s draining and it’s most likely a coaching issue but yes long story short bucks need to figure it out
Really love what you are doing. Finally someone that is actually smart and understands the game instead of just making a dime from lazy narratives and stats without the context. You are by far my favorite NBA content creator right now. It's always a pleasure to learn some things from you. Best of luck and ideas for the future content!
Great break down of Gil’s bizarre proclamation that Giannis is somehow responsible for dame struggling.
Jeez. Give the ball to giannis and play your part. Giannis give EVERYONE plenty of opportunities on the team. He attempts 12 assists!!
Thanks for the clear and informative analysis of the Dame and Giannis situation. The both have things to work on and they should be working on those issues.
LOW THANK U BRUH THE CONSISTENCY IS SO THURL
Watch a ton of Blazers games. Dames vision can definitely be lack luster. His first thought is always score so he misses some open passes. People say Dame can’t play defense, but he can. His defense is actually really good when he decides to actually defend. He is really only playing good defense for 50% of the game.
How do you decide which Channel to upload your video to?
Dame makes good decisions out the pnr idk what your talking about
Arenas is the type of guy who loves these big regular season players who never win anything
That’s who he was at his peak
Low is literally the reincarnation of Bubble Bass and I can’t unsee it😂
It's crazy how Gilbert talks about Middleton. Khris is 1 more championship away from being a hof. Gilbert wasn't close to being a hof
Bruv, I'm from London and I love your show- your analysis is spot on, your critique of Arenas is the BOMB 👋🏾
I would love to hear someone sit around and pick apart Gilbert’s game when he played, like he does everybody else.
He really can’t stand the fact that there isn’t an American in the top 5 players in the league discussion and given the ages, there won’t be an American face of the league for at least a decade.
Giannis hate is so crazy like this dude is having his best offensive season and when is he ever being guarded one on one.
Of all nba trios, the Milwaukee Bucks trio of Middleton, Dame, and Giannis lead the nba in net rating - both because they average more points together and have the best defense together. It’s better than any 3 player combo of players the Celtics have.
Bucks have 5 of the top 12 trio combos, the only bucks player in all 5 trios is Giannis. Middleton appears the 2nd most, dame the least. But together, they are near unstoppable.
The narrative is insane and the numbers back up how great the bucks big 3 are together.
8:08 Dame is one of the best PnR players ever wtf are u talking about and he is getting blitzed everytime and has not help jesus
You clearly aren't watching the games. You are just talking. Gilbert is actually correct. They double Dame to get the ball out of Dame's hands. That's why you don't see Giannis getting 3 charges a game now. He's operating with way more space bc Dame is on the court.
I really think the xenophobia is real why would they not run the offense through a player that got a ring with them and dominated in the finals change that to running the offense through dame who is AMAZING but hasn’t been there and done it yet all be it he never got the talent good enough around him but still that makes no sense MIND YOU Giannis dominated in the finals on a hyperextended knee😂🤦🏽♂️ also let’s mention the fact that Giannis made it CLEAR at the beginning of the season that dame will have the ball more than him
Giannis is a Vet. He should know these things by now.
You don’t need to talk bad about Dame when we know dame has never had a good team around him his whole career. Ridiculous
This podcast gotta GO man. Have brandon jennings and norris cole start a podcast on their own Ifstg
if they double you in the pick and roll it should legit be a free basket everytime with giannis rolling its dame being unable to make that pass is the problem
2 things.
1) how t f do you know that bud and griff got fired for Giannis off ball movement.
2) Giannis and K Midd PnR is always deadly . And I think it’s dame size that affects him, passing over length.
Because Middleton always be throwing oops to Giannis
Dame needs to develop P/R decision making. However Bucks issue is more just during the playoffs they can’t switch things up. Lillard is the best answer however they have to gel what is going to happen. Coaching needs to improve and the P/R IQ is great if he’s scoring off it but if it’s passing out of it that’s why he don’t got high assists
Norris Cole saved me from Gil making me sick again…who is letting Gil speak such blasphemy
Make sure u understand yea they are the best to lace em up but they also are human . Moving from a place where u been comfortable for years take time to adjust , also losing a loved one ; dead or alive still hurts the same … I salute him for never quitting thru adversity, and y’all the same ones who love Jordan 🤷🏾♂️
A good portion of the blame does fall on Giannis, It's been an iffy Dame season fs (mostly due to personal issues) but Giannis really hasn't made an effort to fully commit to the pairing. It's well documented that Giannis doesn't like to set screens or do other things you'd expect from a traditional big, which worked when he was far and away the best offensive player on the team, but now he has someone as skilled as Dame by his side he needs to cede some of that offensive load and focus on uplifting Dame and making up for his lack of defense.
You people don't know what you're talking about.
@@leroyjames2825 How so?
Before I finish this video LOW this first take at 1:37 is kinda ignorant. The point of the offense being played through Dame maximizes his ability which is the reason he’s there. Dame has the ability to be your #1 guy in terms of scoring punch and facilitation and I believe with a well coached and deep roster like the bucks Dame on his own makes them a playoff team. When you add arguably the best PnR man in NBA history whose game is easier to adapt to an off the ball style of play now you have a championship contender. That isn’t to say Dame is a better scorer but that’s just how they would maximize the talent. Same thing with Dwade and Lebron. You have to give the ball to the ball dominant player if that means more efficient basketball for the team
The dame hare in this video is strong. Acting like Dames pick and roll play is anything but great is crazy. Literally one of the best pick and roll players ever.
Dames last playoff appearance he was 34 points 10 assists a game on GREAT efficiency and you are acting like that was bad. Then go on to bring up New Orleans with rondo and holiday sell out to stop dame AND have Anthony Davis protecting the rim and he had a terrible season 6 YEARs ago. Then say dame will have a hard time with boston because they have holiday and white. Oh you think? Great take. What pg is having an easy time in that matchup exactly?
If they double lillard every time he’s in the pick and roll with giannis and you can’t get giannis the ball so he gets a free run to the basket I think the problem is much deeper 😂 that’s basic basketball
Dang. Good vid. Now im feeling depressed
The problem with Dame is, in his mind, he wishes he would’ve stayed in Portland. In his heart Dame time doesn’t feel the same anymore
Lillard 100 percent quit in the elimination game the year he was in western conference finals vs gsw. Nobody ever talked about it. I feel like I'm the only person in the world to c it. The guy was walking down the court wit 3 min left and they were only down by 1. Dude don't take 1 shit basically just cried.
Dame was looking good in the 2019 first round so 2 playoffs series he did well in 😂
I love your channel always spitting that truth Gil just don't like giannis,luka,jokic and sabonnis
Dawg I thought I was crazy thank you
What is your main channel I’ve been looking for it
"The LOW Post"
"Legend of Winning" is his OG channel
it’s almost like two superstars can’t average 30 at the same time when it’s a team game and they’re trying to figure out their team chemistry and style of play. EVERY TIME A HUGE SUPERSTAR TEAMUP (ehhh except warriors kd lol) i usually see a huge change the level of play from the players, it takes time for them to figure they shit out, and also they have doc as a coach so
Lopez doesn’t roll, he stands around. Dame takes a pick and looks for a shot, but he does so by continuing to dribble near where the pick so the defenders catch up or he gets doubled because he hasn’t gone anywhere. Dame is also a terrible passer out of the pick and roll. Really it’s the fact that he’s a shooter/scorer, but they need him to keep his head and eyes up because this team can play. That jump pass needs to go.
0:53 that part
Bro...thank you for this video. Gil and his crew do not watch games, they just guess and hate. They don't like Doc or Giannis, so they are gonna always go against those two.
Facts bro🔥🔥
I thought your intro was about gil at 1st til you said Dame 😂😂😂
Everytime a superstar player goes to a new team, the team struggles. Fans do not give players enough time to gel.
All hat said all video is giannis eats space on the floor 🪦
Gilbert STRIKES BACK ! ( another hot take )
1:24 lillards faults in the offseason are more on the organization then him and that's coming from a blazers fan we never got him a good enough team
It’s the 1st year together. I’m not even gonna be comparing another teams. But Mil small market major all stars. The media is always gonna hate. They don’t even like talking about it lol
Gilbert is literally just like european phobic, like clear as day. He got issues
Nah. What are you talking about? He's just a proud American! 🇺🇸🦅 /s
I like how nobody cared about the Bucks then all of a sudden they have to win it this year or it’s a failure!!? Stop it. We got a few seasons to get one. Y’all stay over there
Gilbert hating and blaming a Euro guy? Impossible
It’s the other way around
I think Norris Cole actually watches games while Rashad&Gil look at stats and the highlights
if they paid brogdon they wouldnt have any of these problems
Norris was the only smart one in the room surrounded by a bunch of dumbasses
Preach!! First, and I said this before on another pod, the record with just dame vs just giannis is about personnel. Bobby is a better backup to giannis than pat b. (or cam payne before him) is to dame. Outside of that dumb take, the bucks offense is fine when it is whole, aka includes middleton. Our projected starting 5 is rated better offensively than the celtics and Denver, who everybody loves. The bucks had 3 problems early in the season 1. DEFENSE, 2. bench play, 3. Dame/giannis connection. Doc has addressed the defense, but it still needs these last few weeks to get completely into form. I don't expect it to do what it did to okc but it could be 12th through 8th depending on the match-up. The bench issue was the inconsistency of griffin's lineups. I actually liked that griffin played the young guys, but it clearly messed with Bobby and pat c. Now that their minutes are practically guaranteed both are playing with a freedom that they didn't earlier. Then there is everybody's favorite topic, dame and giannis. First of all they are playing much better together as of late but the issues were/are very simple while their talents say the pick and roll should be deadly, how they go about those talents is counter to each other. Giannis does not set screens fully. He touches the defender and goes fast. That works with middleton because of his height, but with dame, he needs giannis to slow down. Dame prefers a bounce pass, particularly in the short roll. However, because giannis is so shifty, he likes to look at the position of the defense and thus doesn't catch low passes as cleanly. So Dame needs to be able to throw some passes, not at his feet. Dame also always looks to shoot first, which isn't a bad thing, but because of the speed at which giannis cuts, he misses him looking for his shot first. The remedy to all of this is being deliberate in how you run the pick and roll. It would be super cool if they could just freestyle, but that takes time. So they need a signal that this time down, Dames' first look is giannis in his sweet spot and then look to score second or reset. And then another signal that this time down giannis needs to sit his ass on the pick and roll more slowly. Basketball isn't rocket science it's simple shit like that, that wasn't getting done. Similarly, on defense, most of the issues were just lazy transition defense and terrible rotations. Outside of those things, you can chalk most of it to the other guys get paid too.
Bruh when did dame have help in Portland. This man said the guy who can’t win a ship like that’s not a team effort. Who won a ship as the sole player on the team and no one else? 😂
Is that Norris Cole being the voice of reason
Wait is Gil implying Giannis is taking away shots from dame? The same Giannis that scores shooting a high percentage?. He’s tripping if he thinks Giannis is getting in dames way
