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.

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.

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.

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.

But Dame very clearly isn't Steph and even though I think he's a solid playmaker, Giannis clearly is not Draymond either.

Dame is much closer to steph than you think. The bucks don’t have the same motion offense that the warriors have, but dame can shoot like steph and can handle the rock just as well

I promise you that dame does not want to play off ball no matter what he says publicly
