I get its game one but this really felt like Portland 2.0. Middleton was barely involved and Giannis down the stretch was an after thought, Lillard was amazing and the logo pick and rolls are going kill teams though.
Thank god he didn't go to Miami to make a super team with Jimmy and Bam like so many were worried about when he demanded a trade to the Heat
After Steph I think Dame has been the best scoring point guard of this era.
Maybe because he played in Portland and then dealt with the core muscle injury and surgery people forgot, or thought he fell off.
But no, this dude is still elite and the Bucks are only going to figure out how to make it all work together better and better as the season goes on.
Come playoffs there will be a lot of discussion and revisiting of the whole Dame trade saga.
Def Portland. East coast media bias is for the most part true. No one watched Dame unless it was playoffs or if the opponent was a popular team.
Bucks could win 70 games this year. Dame-Giannis are a perfect pairing. They compliment each other better than duos like Jokic-Murray, LeBron-AD, and Butler-Bam
Dame's been my fave player for bunch of years now, you Bucks guys are so lucky
This is why I didn't say a damn thing about his preseason performance. Dread it, run from it, Dame Time arrives all the same.
dame may ask for a trade to Miami now after being the only one to show up, again
They really let dame and Giannis team up
Dame and Giannis looked amazing together. If they can sort out their bench, get rid of Crowder, I like them over most title contenders from the start. Dame, Giannis, Middleton, Lopez and the fifth guy is such a balanced starting five.
