It's encouraging but also a frustrating reminder of the shot making we've been missing with Dame in the games that count.

Bucks fans watching Dame scorch nylon in the All-Star game after suffering through his 2024 shooting percentages:

Really hope this weekend serves as a turning point for him, and for the Dame/Giannis partnership.

It would be awesome if it's Dame's first start and Dame is mvp.

Especially after people were **** on dame as a starter and saying other guys deserved it over Dame.

KD was trying to defend him & has length. Dame still drained that sh--. Think he's on a mission moving forward.

he missed his first 3 shots and then has been on fire, maybe we should focus on getting him going first. Giannis will always get his

Doesn't mean a whole bunch, but is interesting. Giannis has the highest ppg in All-Star games with a slight edge over Durant at 25.1 to 25.0. And is 26 total points from tying Shaq for 10th all time points.

Hope this opens Giannis’ eyes a bit too.

I don't know if this is how it'd work, but as fast as he can rack up points, it'd be worth trying letting him miss even 5 or 6 in a row to find his rhythm. He definitely needs to be more aggressive, seems like he's even passed up easy shots at times.

As much as we like to bitch, Dame and Giannis have the first and second amount of attempts.

I wonder if on a game dame misses a few and gets shy and decides to relegate himself and let others get theirs.

But in an asg you miss a few and no one gives a ****. So you keep shooting to get into a rhythm.


What if we just tell damn "KEEP SHOOTING!" forget about focusing on brook and beas, you get your self into a rhythm and then start distributing.

Idk.. Just thinking out loud

Even if he doesn't get hot in the second half of the season, him showing he can still be Dame is good in a worst case scenario if we get eliminated in round 1. Hopefully it would be viewed as a bad fit and have some trade value. Obviously I hope this means he is back and we win it all but last week has me in some dark places as a bucks fan.

This ****ing sucks tbh, just bombing 3s. Dame’s half court was cool and I hope this helps get him on track but god damn this is boring.
