That’s what I thought. 7-24, 2-10 from 3 with more turnovers than assists. When he sucks we are a bad team since he brings nothing to the table other than offense. Jrue last year was a much better overall player than what we are getting from Dame this year.

Jrue shot 40% from the field, 28.5% from 3, and gave up 37.6 points per game to Jimmy in the playoffs last year. Jrue right now as a 2nd/3rd option would look putrid. There is zero chance we’d be better with him and zero chance we’d have been able to fetch anything better. Love the guy, but longing for him is strange.

For 9 years Dame had the same offensive minded coach with a team built solely for him. 9 years. One year with Billups (not sure how much the offense changed) and then he comes here to possibly the worst NBA coach of all time, a superstar who doesn’t have the attention span to run a two man game more than a once a quarter, and a bunch of guys who for the last 5 years have done nothing but stand in a box on offense waiting for kick-outs.

Like yeah, no wonder he doesn’t look like he did in Portland. And it’s crazy to think we had that coach who orchestrated that offense on our staff and let an absolute moron force him to quit.

When can we stop making excuses for Dame?

Didn't think the officials were gonna swallow their whistles and ref this like it was Game 7 of the NBA Finals, but they certainly let the Cavs get away with murder in the post. Whatever, team clearly ran out of gas and had probably their worst 2nd half of the year. It happens.

You think Prunty was the cause of ISO ball? Khris and Giannis have been ISO ball their whole careers. Then it is usually a third guy like Bledsoe, Jrue, and now Dame. Then Lopez is the fourth option and then Bobby when the backups come in. This has been a theme for the Bucks no matter who the coach is.

First game they ran some actual plays and PnR then they stopped. Maybe the coach could have drawn up a single non-ISO play during a time out.

I would agree. The point I was trying to make was that coaches probably do draw up plays, but I don't think any of the players including Giannis and Mids listen to it because they are use to doing it their own way.
