D-Lo with the greatest performance of his career and Dame short-circuiting in crunch time. What a **** stupid and weird game.

One of those nights, I wouldn't be surprised if he never has a game like that in his career again. I'm so tired of teams using the Bucks to build up their confidence.

Giving Dlo free reign all night was wild. He was on one, but it looked like we weren't even trying to make him uncomfortable. Dame with as bad a last minute as you'll see.

Garbage perimeter defense. Garbage interior defense. Lakers werr downhill all night. Guys like Russell kill the drop. No adjustment.

D down the **** again. Dsme is a **** defender. Why he was defending Russell down the stretch is beyond me.Bev should have been on him.

D Lo scored 22 of their 27 pts in the 4th

How did it hurt us at all? We still scored on that possession.

I only got the see the last 5 mins. For LA's/Russell's last shot... Why not sub Dame out for someone better at D? Why not put Pat Bev in there? Because when the Bucks get then ball back--we still have a TO and Dame can come back in for offense. I was thinking this as they had the TO before their last play.... Why not put in a Defensive specialty squad (ESP for Lillard).

I am not a smart man. This seems pretty elementary and Russell cooked Dame predictably.

My bad, you're right.

I had a feeling about this as the game wound down. I debated turning off the TV, but I decided to torture myself and stay for what was eventually the inevitable.

Why play Lopez late? Doc rotations are dumb. Why not get Portis or Crowder on the floor to trap Russell on the hand off? Why not play Green who is an actual floor spacer on offense and have Giannis at the 5? Why is he still giving Gallo minutes?

Middleton come back and hurry.

If we didn't have a TO, I get it.. maybe you gotta keep Dame in.. BUT WE HAD A TO AT THE END

I am perfectly fine living and dying with Dame taking the last shot but man he is really struggling to create separation and if he does he's driving into one of Giannis or Brook or fumbling his dribble or passing it into a tight window. The man needs to get better or we're ****.

All I got is… it’s nice to see Dame taking the ball up more than 50% of the time.

Brewhoopfan · Post #56 » by **Brewhoopfan** » Sat Mar 9, 2024 5:47 am

Not much fun watching 4 defenders trying to cover for Brook all night. There are certain nights you can't close with him. Even Bud figured that out.

Coaching can bring improvement but there's no escaping that the roster just isn't it.

Plossum · Post #58 » by **Plossum** » Sat Mar 9, 2024 5:47 am

How do you not double/blitz DLo too when he was basically their only offensive option? Ugh this is such a dumb loss.

Dame is now at the point of his career where he’s getting blocked by Spencer **** Dinwiddie and of course he’s a Buck.

Buds teams had the same problm. Smartball is not in their blood.

Also the fact that we have no one who can even make Russell work for shots on nights like tonight is such a massive issue. Wait until we're playing stars with the season on the line. Jon Horst will pay for his crimes.
