Did anyone celebrate AG's first career win? Just comparing vs. the team celebrating Doc's 1096...

Great Bucks win. Helps that Lillard made all of his 3-point attempts and only missed once overall.

Also probably helped that Dallas was missing two starters, and Exum.

So, the more I think about it, the more I think this may have been the best coached game against Dallas we’ve had since being a contender, including all the Bud years.

Luka has always whooped us, but in the past we’ve struggled to take anything away. He would kill us in the drop, and then we may have tried a last ditch effort to double, but we’d often double from the obvious spots without good rotations on the backend, often getting killed even more.

Yesterday, we started doubling from different spots on the court, rotating quickly on the backend, and forcing long passes that we sometimes got a hand on. We forced Luka into more misses and more turnovers. Well done, especially when considering our defensive perimeter talent this year.

Murray isnt a good fit on this team. He needs the ball in his hands to be effective and is a hilariously overrated defender. Trae/Murray is awful and Dame/Murray would be the same

Anyways Khris isnt getting traded so stop posting it in every PG thread. Giannis wont allow him to be traded live with it :lol:

Crowder's 2 and 3-man lineup data is a bit of a trainwreck. He's basically only positive when he's with Giannis.

I only caught the last 8 min or so but followed the box throughout. Good stuff.

Haven’t seen it mentioned but I liked what we did with bobby down the stretch. We just need to get back to basics with him and keep it to corner 3’s, put backs, or under the basket open looks. He did a good job with that in his late minutes.

The team plays better when Dame make shots.
