NBA - Main

man is a chef

Looking like a great trade so far

Man

This is why you bring in Lillard right here. Dame Time on full display.

Same hitting that step back 3, lord have mercy.

Yo wtf

Folks really thought dame was washed

man that was straight business

impossible to stay unimpressed after watching this first bucks game

League is f'd.

No one gonna mention the free throws?

Shot below 50% though scrub

So uh… that was worth it

he is a perfect fit, wow

Didn’t feel like he scored that much. He wasn’t hitting any shots for the first 3 quarters

Giannis is officially a 2-time Finals MVP

17 free throws :D

Release the KDraken

NBA wanted the bucks to win their first home game with that obvious non call on Giannis catching his airball and dame clutching that 3.

This might turn into one of the most efficient offenses in the NBA. If their ball movement evolves a little bit, this team is going to be averaging 120 on extremely efficient percentages.

Bucks got this dude for almost nothing too (compared to his value) insane work by the FO

Boy, he's nearly as good as Tyler Herro!

Check out r/ripcity.

They are in a situation

MVP?

Dame time !!

In the past, perimeter players had a hard time separating with all the clutching, grabbing and hand checking. Now its the exact opposite where you can't touch a player on the perimeter. In the NFL, wide receivers don't draw more pass interference calls by referees if the player has an pro wide receiver reputation. In the NBA, the bigger the star the more the fouls are called. Some of the fouls called for Dame Lilliard in this game raised eyebrows. One can put an entire lowlight reel of star players having foul calls that don't exist... Harden, Trae Young, Lebron, Doncic, Giannis, Embiid, etc.

I have friends and family who won't watch the NBA for what they view as an league that doesn't govern and officiate its game with fairness- that they don't feel the league games on the up and up.

Y’all we tried to tell y’all. Dames a top 10 level type of dude in the clutch and in a general sense he’s one of the best scorers/guy you want bringing up the ball in the league. This was a slam dunk deal for Milwaukee.

Lebron in 6

Wow he really wasn’t trying in preseason

Not sure why in that one interview with both of them Giannis said this is Dame's team and we'll learn to play around you.

Strange imo considering he won the MVP and led the bucks to a title scoring 50 in a closeout game. What's Dame ever won?

Them looking kinda like the Blazers

And only a one point win.

dame time

I don’t give a buck, it’s all about the Lakers baby ;]

How did they look defensively?

Wow Dame had another great regular season game

Everytime I see this guys name I think it's the actor who played Shaggy from the live action Scooby Doo movies.

He’s back!!!

Milwaukee vs. Dallas in the Finals please. Dame & Giannis vs. Kyrie & Luka

Is that good?

I don't want to shit on anybody's Shreddies, but I don't like the look of this.

It's one game, so not a big deal, and they got the W.

But I see a problematic pattern here.

Giannis is the most dominant force in the league.

Him and Dame running the pick-and-roll? The goal should be getting it back to Giannis with Dame taking it to the hole if there is an open lane.

Sure... FGA look similar: 22 Giannis; 20 Dame.

But Dame took 17 free throws.

Giannis had 9

If Dame is taking the lion's share of the shots, this will not be good long term for the Bucks.

And it looks already like Dame is trying to assert himself.

I'm sure as the season moves along, there will be a better balance, but it this is it? I'm not impressed with a 1-point win and Giannis shooting under .500 from the field.

And if this team just runs like Dame Time... well.... we've seen how that end in Portland for over a decade now.

I feel like I'm making up lost time on Dame. We'd, imagine him being behind a big/championship franchise and having him balling out every night. Fucking my favourite player already, he keeps this up and the rest of mainstream US is going to learn his name really quickly

Once giannis gets used to the new system and his cardio is back in mid season form- the bucks will be unstoppable

Why they bring in fucking playoff heat to first game in the season? This shit gonna be lit

You broke my heart Fredo!

Great game , showcases is worth in debut, will be a great season for them.

ready for when giannis 50 piece and dame 60 piece is why we have 100+ in a game sometime

The playoffs in the east are going to be so fucking fun this year man

I am so happy not to see Grayson Allen anymore.
