YOU haven't been watching the Bucks. Outside of that last game Dame is his regular self when Giannis doesn't play. He basically said it himself it's hard playing g with Giannis because he's just as good with the ball. If we have Dame here tonight we win this game no doubt in my mind.


Dame last year: 32 pts on 46 FG % and 37 3p%
Dame this year: 24 pts on 43 FG% and 35 3p%

While playing worse defense than Herro. And this is Giannis fault. C'mon now. He's washed. Maybe he bounces back in the playoffs or next season. But history tells you when these mid 30 players start having down years they rarely get it back. It happened to Harden


Damian Lillard averaged 29.9 points, 7.6 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 8 games without Giannis Antetokounmpo this season.

Do you need the percentages also?

What's his stats with them? How much ppg and shot attempts with them? I need to see how his stats tonight stack up against his regular averages with them.


He doesn’t deal with facts man and he ignores he pissz poor D on Embiid late in the game



I don't hate Bam. I love the guy. I love his defense. His defense on Embiid was solid and at the end of the day Embiid is Embiid. He's going to cook anyone not named Marc Gasol. I just hate when we pretend Bam is something he isn't on offense. I'll die on the hill with 3ammy3uck3ts that Bam is the best defender in the WORLD right now. But offensively he's not that guy.

I also know 3ammy3uck3ts thinks I'm this big Herro fan or stan. I'm not. I'd traded him in an instant for Dame, KD, Mitchell and I'd consider Beal. But honestly Herro is the only scorer we currently have right now that's willing to empty the clip. Well maybe Rozier now.


I want to see more action ran for him, that little of usage tonight is inexcusable but Spo always pulls this **** when we play Embiid.

I can’t agree on the offense stuff when the numbers when he’s actually getting the ball and involved offensively are eye popping

Everybody deserves blame from the top to the bottom. This team just doesn’t fit. 2 of our 3 go to players are not naturally offensive players. They are defensive players who can score well if they are aggressive, but being aggressive isn’t a natural act for them. Bam, should probably get more plays ran for him, though. Our 3rd offensive player is the only natural scorer we have, but at times has to put up so many shots to try to keep us in games that it becomes really inefficient.

The pieces just don’t fit. Something has to give.

Herro should be in the Duncan Robinson role and yet they want him to be Chris Paul. I don't understand it. I have rarely seen flashes from him where I thought he'd be a good facilitator. Then if you have a smaller PG or SG next to him, you have zero defense at the guard spot.

Funny how Bam criticism instantly devolves into “Herro stan” talk. Pretty sure most of us would move him if we could

LOL... anyone remember her call center was just east of the turnpike exit at Hollywood Boulevard? I was working right by there during the Shaq/Wade era until the Beasley era. Still remember the day Riley made the trade for J Will, Posey, and Antone Walker. . Use to post on WInderman's blog all the time back then. Haven't been back there in probably 15 years and got no plans to go back.

I can only sample the games Giannis missed my guy. I clearly said in the beginning he's been himself without Giannis. You posted his season stats? Do you need me to break down why he's possibly playing better without Giannis and why that small sample size can correlate with his previous averages?

You all gotta understand the game better and understand the hierarchy on offense. Yall can’t be this dumb



Bam can be banging your girl in front you and cucking the **** out of you and you’d be saying he didn’t mean it and it was someone else’s fault


Crawl back in your hole lil guy

A lot of it is Herro Stan’s deflecting, the other is majority just not understanding the game

And I'm sure someone already has, but Spo needs to be called out for not playing Wright enough in the second half. There were so many possessions where we were almost caught with 8 second violations in the backcourt as both Herro & Bam struggled to bring the ball upcourt. Plus he was making 3s, but then got benched.

What we arguing. He's sucked this season, plain and simple. Why would I want that guy for 50 mil. This isnt a D Wade and Bron situation, where they are taking the ball from each other. Giannis and Dame play different positions. Sure he to adjust his game. But Dame adjusting his game doesn't account for a huge drop in efficiency. He had nice 8 games with Giannis, I bet you they play a full season out and he averages about where he is. He's declined this season and this isnt a point that needs to be argued

I said Dame would struggle without spacing which is what he showed with Gianni's. Our best 2 players can't space the floor, but they think Dame would light up the place. The forum just likes names

Man game was lost when Martin missed those 2 free-throws Batum made his first three. That completely changed the game momentum.
