How about play some defense, don't shoot 8-21, and get some assists?

3 steals and 7 assists count as some?

It's pointless, he will only see what fits his narrative, two weeks ago he was going on rants that Dame has fallen off a cliff because his 3pt% was like 30% 15 games into the season, two weeks later he is at 37% on 9 attempts a game. Picking favorites on your own team and not budging is a foreign concept to me, I just see who is helping us win and who is sucking ass and go from there.

7 assists is average. I expect more than average for $48.7 million. If you watched the game, then you know that his defense was bad as usual

Good win against a team that has been winning lately, but not so much overall, as evidenced by their 14-13 record.

The Bucks 12-3 record in their last 15 games is great, but is due in large part to a schedule heavy in opponents under .500. In my mind, the Bucks will be back in the upper tier of teams when they win games on the road against opponents with winning records.

The game Tuesday can be a measuring stick of sorts. I hope the opponent is OKC.

Dame is having a hell of a year, 63% TS and a 2.5 A/TO ratio for a lead guard is crazy. Think he is gonna keep getting better as the year goes on as well.

The team has been better with Dame off than on. If you were being honest, you'd recognize he's part of the problem. Scoring lead guards have never had winning success, and we're seeing it again.

We're good because we have Giannis. Dame needs to become the PG we need, but he's not there yet, and we might need to go in another direction.

It would be really nice if Khris can get settled in offensively, if only so we can manage Giannis's minutes more.

Yup, pointless that you won't ever acknowledge his weaknesses. You won't acknowledge the on/off numbers, the disregard for defense.

? Dame is an awful defender but it doesn't matter because he is one of the greatest weapons at the PG position of all time. You're sitting here on a Saturday night telling me the Bucks are better without Damian **** Lillard after the 2nd game in a row where he played good defense and closed the other team out....THESE WERE BOTH WINS. Time and place. You're typing like the Bucks are in turmoil when we are 12-3 in our last 15 and are playing in the finals of a leaguewide tournament, shut up.

A lot of bickering after a solid win 8-)
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Apparently the defense does matter, hence why they've been better with him off. It's not me telling you this, those are simply the statistical facts. Sorry that facts bother you. Now, what we do here is discuss whether those stats coincidental, or part of a bigger problem.

Now, you don't want to discuss anything, you just want to personally attack me for being a "bad fan". Do your Fandom however you want, but I'll continue to discuss basketball, and what would make our Bucks champions again.

Ajax with one of his better games in this one. 7 rebounds, 4 assists, hit a 3, and only 1 turnover while playing serious defense. Progress.

At least 3 times he was given the ball in the dunker's spot and instead of going to the rim he's backed away and kicked it out. It's so frustrating to watch and it kills momentum. His defense is okay, but his offense is bad if he's not having uncontested shots from the corner.

Weren't some of those kick outs for wide open 3s? Didn't seem like bad outcomes at all. Sure, he could try to dunk it in traffic, but he's a 6'6" guard trying to dunk on shot blockers.

From NBA.com tracking Dame's top 3 defensive assignments today were Dyson Daniels (4:32, 27 possessions), Zaccharie Risacher (4:20, 23.3 possessions) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (1:53, 13.3 possessions). They scored a combined 1 point. Seems pretty fine.

You mean like Fred Van Vleet?
