If Dairy can take PCs minutes and do it well that's a W

Dame being Dame is good
Giannis being himself is good
KM being efficient is good

But cohesion, motion, crisp passes, is what's going to win us playoff games decisively. That's what the off-season meetings were for.. get everyone on board and get the egos out.. build the friendships so there's no pouting, complaining, ball begging, eye rolls, etc. Clarify some D too of possible.

Don’t forget Dairy Bird!

Lol I like Green but that is our starting SG he really solidifies that starting 5 he’s 6’5 too and can get to rim and has great range.
I very interested how AJJohnson looks in this camp too.

The butt clenching over the Giannis/Dame story is amusing

In every 1st round playoff series... every team looked more organized than us... we were even playing dudes in the series that didn't get end of season burn. Top to bottom.. our only brains is Horst.. who else has a brain? We let an early April strain make Giannis miss our whole playoffs... THEN he rested and was able to play in the Olympics... someone please find out if Horst can coach and play PG too

Hope you're ready to use the whole regular season as pre season again and hope it all clicks when the playoffs start.. i wanted to hear something different.. this all sounds the same

It's just like a replay of last year... a slew of new guys to have to try to get used to and caught up... noone will likely get to play real minutes with KM where he's not just jogging through rehab style until... when Dec? They still won't know how to play with him. A kind of hands off coach that expects a veteran team to step up and take leadership... noone will... more superman ball to come.. instant replay

You guys realize Giannis was in Paris for the Olympics and then Greece getting married... Dame was likely in Portland, that's a pretty long trip for either of them.

What I'm hearing is that going into preseason camp, Dame is in the best shape of his career.

Dame alluded to texting with Giannis over the summer, despite not working out & said that he thinks that's bigger than working out.

Sounded on point to me. Obviously him & Giannis needed more open communication & bonding.

Dame had a lot of personal stuff going on last year and spent this summer with his kids. That will do more for his upcoming season than hanging out with Giannis.

And Giannis if people remember or not, he had a pretty significant summer. I'm sure it kept him occupied.

Bucks fans at the end of the season: "Giannis needs to rest!! He better not play in the Olympics. He needs rest!! HE BETTER NOT BALL WITH THE NT THIS SUMMER!! AAARRGH!!"

Giannis rests the first half of the summer.

Giannis begins training for the Olympics and eventually goes to France.

Bucks fans watching the Olympics: "NOOO! Giannis! Don't do it! you could get hurt! You should rest and recover!!!!!"

Giannis takes a break from basketball and rests. Instead (for him most likely) has a once in a lifetime experience much bigger than basketball and marries the love of his life and mother of his children. Steps away from the sport to celebrate with family and friends and probably even honeymoon.

Giannis shows up to camp fit yet well rested.

Bucks fans: WHAT!?!? WHY WEREN'T YOU TRAINING MORE!!!!!?!?!? What did you do for 5 months you didn't train with your teammates!! AAARRGGH!!!

^^^^^ Um that is just a bizarre post

I don't know if they flat out said they wanted to get together or just try to but they had plenty of time in 5 months to do so. It's not a big deal but it certainly is disappointing.

Sure hope they can spam that text message pick and roll vs Boston. Spoiler... it's not... everything we heard sounds like code for impending hero-ball year. We're the 2nd version on the Clippers or KD Nets.. a bunch of big names just doing their own thing and shaking their head at each other when it doesn't work.

Is Dame a winner? I know he has hit game winning shots and won a few playoff series.. but is he actually a winning player on a championship level?

I can picture exactly how Steph would have handled all of this. I can picture his demeanor when things dont go well. Im not gonna say that Dame was a cancer last season but the vibes were not great, even though he always said the right things.

Can't say winning culture kind of guy is something that's ever come to mind with Curry. Dude is awesome and all, but he's never seemed to be steering anything one way or the other.

Did Steph get traded to a new team while going through a bitter divorce? While also having a terrible coach who was replaced mid season.
I am giving Dame and the bucks a mulligan on last year I think Dame and the bucks will be really good this year that can win it all in the end.

Absolutely agree to a guy they feel very disrespected dame ferls very disrespected on what was said bout hi.I think this team is highly motivated this year to prove everyone wrong.They are taking not having a game on xmas personal.
This team will look light years better than last year.Dame will have a huge year as will giannis n kris will play 68 plus games .
If healthy i wouldnt be shocked to see thrm in the ECFs
