It's Dame's and Giannis 's team now. Other guys can add sauce or win us regular season games but Dame needs his head removed from his behind or we're going nowhere in the playoffs.

Dame just doesn't play with any passion.

When the whole team puts in an effort like that clearly something's going on. Everyone was bad, Giannis included. He was terrible on D, again got torched by a young kid.

Dame is in yips territory with his playmaking. The shooting is whatever, that will eventually correct itself.

Didn't he score like 70 in 1 game last year? Wake up bro

Fitting end to the worst loss of the season, what an embarrassment. Dame? I have no words. Forget about the shooting slump, that is just an excuse, because superstars can still make an impact on the game if their shot is not falling. That is why they are considered superstars. If his shot is not falling its bad defense, turnovers, and lackluster effort. The turnovers are huge problem, there are sequences where he will turn the ball over of 2 or 3 straight possessions, and the momentum of the game changes.

The whole turning point of this game was when the Bucks fought back after Giannis' heroics, Bucks up 1, and Dame throws a lazy crosscourt pass that leads to fastbreak layup. Grizz then get and and-1 on the next possession and they never looked back. I don't even think Dame was even looking when he threw that.

I can definitely see a scenario in a tight playoff game where Dame has one or several crucial turnovers that cost the Bucks a playoff game. If he is constantly doing it against scrub teams in the regular season, imagine what the playoffs have in store.

Beas is a 2 nd level player.

But Dame is worse than Jrue not only on defense but also on offense. Jrue could score in multiple ways . Not Dame. He just chucks. When they happen to fall, we get delirious and call it Dame Time; I can’t think of a sillier concept.

We traded Jrue and fired Bud. Just see the result. Complete collapse.

Put yourself in that category as well, Doc. We all know you'd rather be making Tee off time but took an easy check.

Dame deserves the heat he’s getting…dude hasn’t looked anything like a superstar in about 90% of the games this year. That said, I have a small hope he will turn it around by April.

It's already GP part 2.

Its also ironic that we traded a classy guy who wanted to be in Milwaukee for GP.

And we traded a classy guy who wanted to be in Milwaukee for Dame.

Dame worked on being traded to Milwaukee. How doesn't he want to be a Buck?

Whom do we fire now?

Depending on how it goes I think we have to have some very uncomfortable conversations about some players while also firing Horst.

A big salary or two, attached with maybe a late 1st or low-level prospect lol. Horst blew his load on the wrong guy. Easier to say in hindsight, but I think Horst just about whiffed on most of his moves over the past year, outside of getting Giannis to re-sign.

Good ol Donte for Serge

The thing that sucks is that Dame is one of those guys people act like fan boys over and refuse to be critical of him no matter what.

Dame could shoot 30% for 25 straights games and people will still scoff if you criticize him and come up with 101 excuses for him.

Bev also lost the luster after his first game

I think Bev is watching the sh-- show with us, wondering what switches need to be hit to turn it around.

Making the trip down to MKE from the U.P. to see the Bucks play the Suns in a month... Seriously wondering if we're gonna be booing Dame by then. Its not all on him... But damn, there wasn't much heart in this one.

-Jragon- · Post #80 » by **-Jragon-** » Fri Feb 16, 2024 4:29 am

Wasn't there a stat.. when Dame scores 25+ were like 20 and 3 or something? That's where we are... Ginnis will feast but like it or not Dame is our sparkplug and we'll go and he goes and can take us. Get some practices in.. the p and r "looks" better but don't force it.. take your time both guys-- it's not always a sprint
