Bev Revs our engine... Gallo showed life, legs and more importantly defensive IQ/awareness

Wish he made more but I liked Dame aggressive early. He threw up some stinkers hoping for a call that he never got but him getting going early going forward could be nice.

Our defense was pretty solid tonight. Some really nice stretches.

The Bucks always have to do it the hard way, that's how it always is. However, I like these wins because this type of game is excellent prep for the playoffs. Dame was actually playing some good defense, and his playmaking during the first half was great. Bucks offense in particular looked very much improved as well, alot more ball movement and off ball cutting.

Beasely had a huge stretch and so did Brook early... Minny hit some amazing shots and we didn't flinch

Finally figured out that they need to let Dame close out games.

Oh man, seeing how old these Sportscenter anchors look is making me sad.

Great win. Probably best win of the year. Wolves are very good (even though they didn’t play well tonight).

But man it’s hard to envision a deep playoff run with Beasley as our crunch time wing stopper and Pat playing 20 minutes a game.

Play dairy bird

This is scouting.. we noticed on film that they are grabby and get away with it.. Dame was getting the contact and conversation started early to keep the refs aware... luckily Brook didn't let us get down much early

We had posters calling Giannis dumb basketball player, having a stupid shot selection (again he is shooting like 65% on the year), someone called him egotistical (a guy who is a top five player in the world and only put up 13 shots). I would consider that losing's one **** and yelling at Giannis over 1 bad shot

Pat C had some good stretches on both sides. Doc did a good job pulling guys when they got sloppy... that's what I want to see

Totally agree. 2nd half felt like the vintage Dame we have been waiting for. Incredible performance. Whatever Doc did at halftime sure worked.

He's kind of at a disadvantage since all his misses are from so far away from the basket

The most encouraging win of the year.

MartyConlonOnTheRun · Post #36 » by **MartyConlonOnTheRun** » Sat Feb 24, 2024 5:45 am

Like the last two pointer was good Dame time, but I didn't enjoy the rest. Waving off screens, playing iso and then making a tough fadeaway three with the shot clock running low? We have Giannis and Dame and we can't figure out a more efficient go to play when we only need one bucket?

That's now how those possessions went, Dame bailed us out after the Wolves defense stifled us for 22 seconds of the shot clock. It's disappointing some could twist that into Dame being selfish, wasn't the case. We were using that shot clock that 2nd half for the vast majority.

The midrange to ice the game? Sure, but that iso was called by the coach.

This is starting to gel. Offense flowed great for large stretches, defense with some really awesome stretches as well. Dame found a way to be effective when his shot wasn't falling. Some of those clutch shots were unreal. He played really hard on defense down the stretch as well. The haters piling on him at every turn are going to look foolish before the end.

Giannis with a fabulous performance for the MVP resume. Adding that wildly accurate backwards no look pass has been super fun.

Team spirits seemed high after Cancun. Lots of running to help guys up. I'm being serious, seems like a good shift in vibes. Maybe Bev, Gallo help?
