The Milwaukee Bucks Officially LOST The Dame Trade 

The fact that they lost jrue holiday to one of their biggest rivals, who now look like a juggernaut, AND hired one of the worst playoff coaches I've ever seen, shows the bucks really fumbled this season.

They quickly forgot that Jimmy torched Jrue in the playoffs and the bucks didn’t have enough scoring when Giannis was hurt. That’s why they traded the “defense” for offense

Jennings does not know how to hold an L..That man will pull out excuses left and right..Gives me McCants vibes .

Gil is nailing all the issues here. Doc seems like he’s still not coaching the team the way he talks. It’s everyone else’s fault when he talks. He’s watching the team and travel crew?? He wanted to take Giannis out but they talked him out of it?? Seems odd to play the blame game like that.

People forgetting how much PJ Tucker and his defense helped them get that chip

I can tell Kris Middleton is well liked in the league because people just won't admit that he's the one holding the Bucks back. This guy caught lightning in a bottle for one playoff run and now he's looked at like that guy. But of course all the injury excuses and hype will make you forget that he wasn't that dude before or after that Finals run. And people wonder why the Bucks are not athletic on the perimeter. But they can't get rid of Middleton without pissing Giannis off. So they're basically stuck with him as long as Giannis wants him on the team

The first year with Jrue The defense was ranked 10th the next year, 14th last year, 4th. Which was actually worse, then the previous 2 years with eric bledsoe Where they were first. So as great as Jrue is as a defender. He's not responsible for the Fall off from last year. Their defense was actually better before he got there. I think the loss of Bud is more the problem

Man that's Ty Lawson I almost didn't recognize bro lol

Where’s Rashad cause just the other day they was getting on him for saying the 76ers can beat the bucks now if the 76ers win the 7th seed they can beat them. they know not have Rashad on the show cause he was gone show his ass 😂😂😂

Im a big Giannis fan, but he gotta eat some of this too. Hes the man, and when you lose games like this, to teams this bad, "The Man" gotta eat it...

Jrue is great. He was the best thing for Milwaukee. Lets not forget Grayson Allen. They lost two players and a Championship coach. Grass never greener.

I think what people forget is it’s not like bucks won championship and then the next year traded Holiday for Lillard. They won the championship, lost in semis then lost in 1st round. They made a move and as of right now it looks like it didn’t work out. The alternative is they sit back and run it back for 3rd time and lose again. Then everyone says the definition of insanity is doing same thing over and over and expecting different result.

Just 2 episodes ago mccants said 76ers could upset bucks during the embiid coming back topic gil was like hell no but now its go 76ers

This might be one of Gil's best takes.

Giving Gil a pass on talking shit just because he's partly right on Doc. But the guy be talkimg shit when it comes to Giannis he straight up hating.

Everyone on the show waiting quietly before Gil straight ethers Doc Rivers is downright hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gil is right that drop coverage bs that they play ONLY worked cause Jrue and even Greyson to a lesser extent were willing to fight over/thru screens, force the ball handler to take more than 2 dribbles to shoot (By that I mean no 1 dribble pullups off screens, and limiting shots on dribble handoffs), and force the ball handler into help (even still Bucks gave up alot of threes). Now guards can get into their 1 dribble pull up bag with dang near 10 feet of space cause Dame, Pat C, Malik aint fighting over screens, which exposes Lopez and makes Giannis cover more space, which takes both Brook and Giannis out the pain, and since Khris Middleton athletically is shot at the pro level its backdoor cut city from the weak side. That drop coverage bs gotta stop for them

Gil called out greeny

Gil just makes up stuff on the fly. Giannis was an All Defensive First Team before Jrue Holiday joined the team.

Kenyon got them soccer socks on 😂

He gotta play like "trail dame" lol i think dame left his watch in portland

jenning saying “our team” 😂 celebratring like a champ

Giannis didn't get Bud out of there. Bud had some personal things to deal with in combination with being there for a long time. Giannis was involved in picking the next coach. We can put that part on Giannis.

lol who yelled out “damn” at 0:35

For real though if the bucks get bounced in the first round that Doc rivers hire is probably going to go down as one of the worst hires in history...I get the defence wasn't crazy at the start of the year but why not try to stick it out and see if it improves...such a strange decision.

Everyone forgetting that Middletons injuries made it obvious that something had to change

Dame is a complete liability on defense word to 2k lol

Kenyon might as well pull his socks up to his knees

I like Jrue but playoff Dame will silence you all, same goes for Giannis he plays at his 70% at the moment and he still dominates. So bring it on Celtics or whoever

I hope dame proves all of them wrong and gets to the final

As a Miami fan this is just great to watch 😁

Dame has been lame all season offensively and defensively, but the media won't say it. Rather they gonna blame Giannis that has had a great individual season so far.

With Griffin the Bucks were 3rd in Off rating and 19th in Def Rating. With Doc they’re 16th in Off rating and 11th in Def rating.

1:10 Gilbert did the echoes in real time on Mike Greenberg berg berg 🤣🤣🤣

Bucks lost trade, Jrue & Grayson are better than 1 Dame, Grayson is 51, 47, 88% this year & Jrue is 43% from 3, + both are way better on defense, 3 coaches in less than 1 year 😂

Gil and em dont understand that things cant stay the same every year. They traded jrue after the team wasnt as good as the champion team a fee years earlier. Jrue fell off offensively and the fact that khris hasnt been the same has hurt the bucks. Adding dame was a last ditch effort to keep giannis but they need to find a way to off load khris and add quality depth again. This cant all be on dame and doc rivers( even though that last one is a head scratcher)

Gil said on night cap bad teams love to play spoiler this time of year

2:50 shoutout mike epps🤣🤣all about the benjamin’s

Fans and haters said the Lakers beat one of the best teams in the east the Bucks without LeBron and they said the Lakers are better without LeBron. Now look at the narrative on the Bucks. smh

McCants be making more sense than Jennings most days now 😂

On behalf of the Boston Celtics I say thank you for giving up your best player to us. We actually appreciate him ☘️

I wonder whose the number 1 team in the east and what player did they acquire to improve to number one... Drew is missed by Milwaukee Bucks.

Gil you were more right than you thought becaused you guys missed the point that if they are 5th right now that really means that they are like 8-10th over the last 30 games because they would be averaging 40 games at 2nd place.

Dame is responsible for the offense of the players they gave up PLUS the points they would have taken away on the other end. If you wanna go the scoring route you gotta commit to it like Dallas bucks are in the odd spot in the middle

In the offseason Bucks need to hire Terry Stotts and a great defensive assistant coach. Dame can rediscover his Portland self and if that happens they'll be a problem for sure.

We gon be alright ‘’

Give Doc the grace you give Diddy Gil.

Doc must have seen the commissioner at a diddy party 😅

We trying new things/rotations at the end of the year

You can have as many talented prospects as you want but if their skill sets do not compliment each other they will ultimately fail. Project 6’9 was cool but we had to many guys that did the same thing and personally I think that’s why it failed. Not because the guys we had didn’t have enough talent

Damn that's Ty mfn Lawson...but i gotta say kenyon Martin is a fucking legend

Gil speaking on issues but nun of his teams never even had these kind of problems. Only problems his team had was him why we taking his opinion into account. Gil never had achampionship coach he outta line.

Gil stop playing and come coach my Bucks! 😂

Jennings does not know how to hold an L..That man will pull out excuses left and right..Gives me McCants vibes 😂

Anybody else hear Kenyon saying “45, 47”!😂

Lmao Gil cracks me up

"Yeah mother Tucker sit your ass down.." 😂😂😂

We still have to see how the playoffs unfold at the end of the day

Giannis pressured the front office to do this move

Is this Ty Lawson?? NC legend fasho

Milwaukee problem is Lopez is to slow Beasley to small and isn’t a sniper like that for Dame you a big 2 Crawford should start. But bucks need a 3 and 3 centre

Everyone talks about Jrue who I love, but we also lost Alan, Grayson, Wes, Carter - should not have fired Bud tbf

Gil!!😂😂’two teams going on, there’s Doc and he’s team and then there’s the Bucks’

It was like that with Udoka and the celtics. They got it together and made it to the finals. They shouldn't fired the coach for the bucks

Adrian Griffin's smirkin' his ass off

Jrue Holiday & Adrian Griffin are somewhere laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂

My boy a wizard with the broom

What if the bucks just don’t respond well to a scoring point guard? When they had drue everything seemed more organic and in a flow.

Dame ain’t even play these games they lost lol

I wonder who’s going to make the official roster for Memphis in 2k25 bc if I’m not mistaken I heard they had 30 or 35 different players this year? 💀

They should have kept with Griffin. He tried to make them more versatile on defence, as Bud's strategy was being outplayed by current playing styles. But he could adjust, it was too early in the season.. Their mistake was listening to Giannis who had leverage over contract and hired Griffin instead of Nurse. MJ didn't like Phil initially, but that is the genius of Krause. Nurse is the best coach in the NBA, together with Spo and Kerr (Pop is in the GOAT status conversation)

Gil you Right though. Being from the Mil I watch every game. The entire league avg for points was 118 this season. Firing Griffin was outside basketball issues as well. Doc switched philosophy to defense because half court ball in playoffs. Jrue scored 18 as well as defended 1-4. Missing points with Bev, Crowder, cougnnton, playing so many minutes Beasley gotta score as well. Dame has more stls than Jrue this season

Ty Lewson

Ima wait til the playoffs because regular season record ain’t never mattered. They could have the #1 offensive & defensive #1 team in regular season and still lose in first round. The playoffs a different beast and they got champions. A championship coach. And the most competitive player in Giannis lol. It’s obviously gonna be Bucks vs Celtics for the East no matter the round.

Bucks identity was their defence and they steered away from that trading jrue. Truth is they never needed dame they were a top 2-3 team without him anyways. Getting a wing like anunoby and giving Allen more offensive responsibilities would’ve helped tremendously.

I was mad ash when we traded jrue I knew what was about to happen

If Jrue is on any team other than the Celtics then this doesn't look as bad but damn lok

Crazy thing is, people said Jrue wasn’t enough offensively for them. But outside of his shakey offense, he’s too vital to trade just for more “offense”. Cause look now, when Dame doesn’t produce that trade is literally a waste because he does nothing else good.

Watching this after they lost to the raptors last night is crazy

JJ Reddick was right.

I would have never gotten rid of Jrue Holiday. I knew that was an tremendous mistake, when the trade took place.

The problem is the Bucks are terrified at the thought of Giannis leaving, so they think if they do whatever he wants he won't leave results be damned, but Giannis will leave when he shoulders the blame for these moves. Brook Lopez is 36. How many more seasons do you have with him? They don't make 7 foot tall 3pt shooting centers at Santa's workshop. You probably only have one more year with him. Middleton is 32 and becoming more and more injury prone. At the end of this season the Bucks are going to have a decision to make and running it back won't be an option. You're either going to trade Giannis or rebuild around him and Dame. Middleton and Portis probably have to go. Maybe you try to trade for Alex Caruso, someone who can play D, doesn't need the ball to be effective.

They felt like Griffin wouldn't get them over the hump. Giannis was beefing with him then Terry Stotts resigning as assistant coach didn't help. I think Dame wanted him there so things haven't exactly gone according to plan. Doc was just a bad backup plan 😅

The conversation when you are 30 and 13 getting fired. "We're sorry you're winning way too much." 😂😂😂😂😂

Jrue and Porzingis where the biggest pickups this season

what do u guys think giannis playing center? i wanted this ages ago

The Bucks won the Dame trade. The only goal of the Bucks was to resign Giannis. He did not sign when eligible with Jrue. He gave the go ahead for the trade and signed the extension early because of it. The organization’s goal wasn’t to win a championship, it was to resign Giannis and they did that

Bucks should've never fired Budenholzer. And obviously shouldn't have traded J Holiday.

They trying to avoid the heat

The Bucks make the same mistake the 2020 Lakers made. Breaking up a championship core to chase big names

Talk after the playoffs

What’s crazy is just last week Gil said sixer’s was done for the season and shouldn’t play embiid because they couldn’t beat the bucks

The fact yall didnt rashad on 😂bro had a lil lead to a point going 😂this was definitely the nail flr him

To me it's obvious they are trying to drop back in the 3rd seed to avoid sixers or heat

This trade was about the playoffs. This is insane take before the playoffs

gil talkin shit on doc rivers is the funniest shit 😂😂😂

Letting Jrue Holiday go was stupid. Especially if you was already replacing a head coach at the same time.

🏆 Otw

Rashad the only reason I watch this show. Remind me of Skip, He not with the out of site outta mind Ish

I’d never trade away a defensive star for an offensive star when I already have an offensive star.
