The offense will be awesome. Dame's talent is obvious. Beyond that, the ball movement and player movement is so much better.

Also, Dame and Giannis is a perfect pair. But huge Brook Lopez screens for Dame 30 feet from the basket make a big man trying to defend Dame in that much space impossible.

I don't know that I'll love the defense being in rotation all game.

Should Beauchamp or Beasley start?

I know the guy who sold his condo to #3. In the counteroffer was written, "buyer shall provide seller with an autographed Bucks jersey at closing," hey?

Beasley. Better shooter, more consistent offense, and Beauchamp has the tools to be a good defender while Beasley is not. So Beasley is on the court while both Giannis and Brook are in to rim protect and Beachamp can help the second team defense more than Beasley.

Not a good defensive start to the 3Q.

Apparently they read my post.  :)

Giannis has been out of control and forcing for no reason.

Pretty ugly h-c basketball for the Bucks.  No idea why Giannus continues to take 3's.

Only the first game, but Giannis needs to find his teammates

I haven't seen Middleton at all.  Ya....Giannis has forced way too much and his FT's and J have been brutal.  Move the basketball.  Pretty goof 4th Q for Jae.

Middleton's played. Minutes restricted.

Lillard is only a career .895 FT shooter?

Pretty good debut for Dame.

Dame is a way difference maker when needing a shot than Jrue.

Different level.  He can score in the h-court and is underrated on the blow-by.  That said (I get that it's game 1) the Bucks should be way more efficient in their offensive sets.

That game was the epitome of why you traded for Dame.  What a player, what a performance. Absolutely unreal.

The Danish are known for shot making.

Exactly right JWags.  Giannis had an unusually poor game (for him).  Lillard is a multidimensional scorer and all you need to do is give him the rock up high.

I'm really going to enjoy having Dame here in Milwaukee.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

New guys, new coach. It's going to take awhile for them to work it out. But last night was really a great example of why they made that trade.

Giannis was way off with his shot yesterday and looked uncomfortable at the line.  Hopefully he figures it out but it's a bit of an enigma.  Perhaps I should be on the Bucks staff or his personal shooting coach.
