Dame in Milwaukee thread

[Natebishop3]

Since I predicted Scoot's NBA debut, I will predict Dame's Milwaukee debut

32 pts

I think Dame rarely goes above 25. I don’t think he gets enough shots to put up 32 but maybe with free throws?

 

[Strenuus]

If you got HBO max you can watch the bucks game for free.

 

[Strenuus]

I think this thread will work for his games instead of the around the NBA thread

 

[PDXFonz]

There will be games when Giannis goes off.
There will be games when Dame goes off.
There will be games when Dame and Giannis go off.

Dames actual first home opener as a Buck.

Which will it be?

Will the Bucks come out from game 1 and show the rest of the league that they are the team to beat?

 

[Hoopguru]

Dame will win a championship with Bucks and he probably wont come back here unless there js a change in management.

 

[Strenuus]

Man this is fucking weirdm

 

[Strenuus]

Its now hitting me. Sucks. Oh well.

He'll never come back. I would even go as far as predicting he'll sell his house before his contract is done with the Bucks

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I am watching the Bucks game and I still cannot believe it but I will make no secret I am now a Bucks fan except when they play the Blazers.

 

[theprunetang]

Fuck the Bucks.

He will come back on a one day contract but unless the team sells and Joe is gone (even though Joe is the winner of it all) he won't come back for anything meaningful.

He used Joe as a scapegoat. There was 1 man, and 1 man only, who he should've been mad at. And he got shit-canned like 2 years ago.

Bucks have no idea how to use Dame. He’s hardly ever on ball. They have turned him into a spot up shooter. It’s like watching Scoot last night lol. I wonder if he wanted to go to Miami because he would have still been the unquestionable first option on offense. And….. Spo. Makes me wonder if the friction between Stotts and Griffin was how they are using Dame.

Plus, Bam/Jimmy hadn’t won without him so he could be the missing piece. In Milwaukee, like with Drexler in Houston, they’ve already won without him.

What are you talking about, they just tried to lob the ball to him. Oh, wait...

 

[KingSpeed]

Running down the court for an alley oop? Never saw that in Portland.

I know it's super early, so take it with a grain of salt, but I noticed that too. But how they are in game 1 isn't as important as how they are in game 82 and games in the playoffs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame 3 and 1

 

[Natebishop3]

Giannis goes out and now Dame is taking over.

 

[andalusian]

It's later in the game and Dame is starting to play as if he is on the west coast.

 

[Natebishop3]

Bucks look better when they aren’t trying to force feed Giannis.

 

[andalusian]

... also, Lopez is a better screen setter than Nurk. That might be even better for Dame than playing with Giannis for his own game.

 

[blazerkor]

I think the Bucks can put a better lineup around Dame than he’s ever had, even when Giannis is on the bench.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame is on fire now, but it sure seems like he plays better without Giannis.

 

[andalusian]

Dame is on fire now, but it sure seems like he plays better without Giannis.

I think that this is the real offensive difference between Dame and Steph. Dame really needs the ball in his hands to be a superstar. Steph is just as effective and dangerous without it. It's hard to imagine that someone as good as Dame is, offensively, has places to become better, but that's certainly one of them.

 

[HailBlazers]

Maxey is so good.

 

[Natebishop3]

Griffin is a moron. He’s playing Dame off the ball with the starters. Dame is just standing around. He doesn’t bring the ball up. They need to fire this dude.

 

[andalusian]

Maxey is great. You can understand why the Sixers are reluctant to trade him.

i miss dame time. never out of a game in the fourth
