Yep. We said the same thing in a very different way.

Horst min salary signings played 77 minutes in a solid win.

The vets we added looked about as good as we hoped. What an upgrade from crowder and cam payne. Feeling better about the team than I have in a few years.

I was just coming in to post word for word the exact same thing.

This is good! Nice nutshell. I listened on the radio and, uh, rely on this board for eyes

Great win I love the depth with this team Trent such an upgrade at SG and with prince at sf for Middleton

looked pretty clunky at times. Giannis clearly didn't have his burst and still made the most of it.

I'll just pick one thing for improvement and chalk up the rest to early season:

Dame was really starting to heat up and then Giannis grabbed the ball and barreled into the lane and turned it over. You got to keep feeding Dame when he's going like that. You just have to. Hopefully, that's something he recognizes going forward.

Even in our blowout wins it was just based off pure talent, I am super pumped for this season after watching that. Bucks last year would've made a game out of this while we facepalm most of the time

Agreed. The new vets looked good. The old vets looked good. A lot to be optimistic about after tonight.

only negative is dame and Giannis both seem better on the court alone. might be a good problem to have since both looked great overall and if they can click ..watch out

This right here I could care less he is slow af he’s also big af who when used right is a difference maker on defense.

oh, yeah, that for sure lol. Beas was white hot for us early last season but never looked remotely competent on D. Crowder was a big fat nothing out there. Trent jr. and Prince are miles ahead of that nonsense.

We lose this game by 20 if Beasley was still on the roster....ok maybe not lol.

But it will be refreshing not having to watch him in a Bucks uniform this year.

Stars and role players both showed up. Could maybe use another one somewhere even when Khris returns but solid showing.

Wooderson · Post #35 » by **Wooderson** » Thu Oct 24, 2024 2:24 am

Prince quick reads to move the ball had me giddy. Almost as much as Dame having his legs back.

MiltownMadness · Post #36 » by **MiltownMadness** » Thu Oct 24, 2024 2:26 am

Can we talk about the cutting? It was jarring seeing the movement on offense after watching a Bud led offense for 6 years or whatever. Bucks looked so dangerous on offense, Ik the talent we were facing wasn't great, but we really struggled on the road last year and just looked so messy. Today guys were in sync and playing off one another. If Dame and Giannis truly get in sync it will be FUN, but right now Dame has better chemistry with Brook. Think both Giannis and Dame want the ball and work better with the ball and that is ultimately their "problem".

I know people get on Dame for his D he competes at least you put Beas next to him they look horrible on D. Trent jr did a great job on Maxey made him work for it.

Anything but a blowout and solid defense would have been a moral loss. Fortunately we were close to that mark against a depleted team. A nailbiter game would be a moral loss.

If you watch sports through this lens then you will truly never be happy watching, just enjoy a promising performance and hope it keeps going

We look way more coherent and that was the hope with a full offseason with a real coaching staff. Plenty of time to gel and work towards our ceiling but simply not looking like we have no organization is a positive
