Not to undersell it but damn there’s so much doom in these comments lol. More than anything, at least from this video, I’m seeing piss poor defense giving no effort at all.

[–] Sufferix@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Isn't this all because they're playing drop and not switching? Like if the second player just switches and the first gets screened, he doesn't get to just create.

[–] Tangajanga@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I forgot how good this guy is. Honestly if he had help in Portland he could have won a few chips. He has it now but might be out of his prime.

[–] ThatsGoodForm@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This shit is broken as fuck, needs to be addressed in the next patch.

[–] WhatShouldTheHeartDo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Seeing Dame without his garbage Portland teams, bro is literally out the trenches.

CJ done landed himself in San Fierro

He has arrived

Bucks fans are so lucky. I know it's early but y'all are in for a treat.

This is just awful drop defense. No reason to be that far up at that distance from the basket. Ironically, Philly and Milwaukee are among the last 2 teams that use drop pnr coverage primarily given their slow lumbering centers.

[–] FatherlyAcorn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's a really good play design. No matter which way dame goes, Giannis can cut hard, and Lopez can pop. Dame has the triple option to shoot/drive, pass to a cutting Giannis, or kick to a popping wide open lopez. Other two bucks are ready at the corners. I love it.

This team is gonna be a problem

[–] JimmyToucan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How is this different from screens set for him in the blazers, is there something I’m missing about this being a bucks specific thing?

Giannis wasn’t even on the floor for any of these plays, unless that’s the main point then I guess lol

[–] Dudedude88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Warriors run this play for curry. I only remember it back when they did something like this with bogut and Draymond green

[–] GomJabbar99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

All three were fouls btw

[–] chadowmantis@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I won't be mad if they win it this year, Lillard deserves a ring

[–] PuzzleheadedWest0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just wait until he starts knocking down the logo shots on the reg.

[–] Jazzlike-League4061@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Shit is unfair 🤣🤣🤣 Bucks in 6

[–] iswearshewas18bro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dame is a beast

[–] Trainer_Coach@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I already can't wait for a Bucks/Nuggets finals.

Bucks Warriors in the finals.

[–] DalliLlama@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is a pretty good example of the chess match in basketball. Philly was applying pressure, so Bucks were setting screens high and getting good looks. Philly realized it and stopped picking him up so far as to not give momentum and speed to attack their bigs.

[–] Ok-Clock-5459@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They beat the depleted 76ers by 1 point. It’s stoppable.

[–] Disastrous-Ad2800@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was preoccupied with Embiid's reactions.. which was pretty much, "fuck this shit... wonder if Morey will trade me to the Clippers instead?"

[–] anemic_royaltea@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

...turns out it's not going to be that hard for Dame to win me back, I loved seeing this and think this could be a very fun time.

[–] NoMode5251@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

DAME DOLLA!!!

[–] KingOfWeTheNorth@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good luck? Just ice it, tf his teammates gonna do at the halfcourt line if he passes it off lol. Joel is guarding at the arc lmao.

[–] Nmilne23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Look, YES dame and the bucks are proving to be a nasty offensive pairing, and I’m happy they got another guy honestly, makes the east more interesting and it directly led to Jrue on my team.

But this was ONE game and the sixers are just…. Can’t imagine where they are mentally right now. Let’s wait a couple weeks, it’s crazy how many big sweeping claims people are making after literally one single game

[–] intersectionalgang@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I wanted to see Dame beat the warriors and get a chip, now it’s more likely he’s gonna beat my team and get a chip lmao this isn’t fair

[–] fuzzynavel34@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's literally been doing this for the last 5 years lol

[–] weareeverywhereee@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As a Celtics fan…yikes

[–] guyjones2000@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As a lifelong Blazer fan, I wanted Dame to go to a contender. I said to myself, whomever it is will be my second favorite team, I hope they win it all.

People always forget how good Dame is. His game is ageless, just has to stay healthy. Great situation for him on the Bucks.
