Not to meat ride dame too much but he's shown to be able to handle those looks and still deliver pretty easily, super interested to watch this season of the bucks
Dame has the same range as Steph and Trey Young... notice the comparison of the range. Curry is slightly more efficient but they're sleeping on Seth tho he's a walking bucket
@@LevitheLegendLillard is a better shooter than Curry when it’s come to range. You hardly see curry shooting from the logo consistently and Lillard does it game to game.
Nah, Jrue was bad offensively during all 3 playoff runs. This video is painfully accurate. Those will now be Dunks/Layups for Giannis or Open 3s for Dame.
I live in Milwaukee. Holliday shot well in the Championship year and playoffs. The main issue was he was inconsistent the last 2 years. The other issue was Middleton was actually the 2nd option the championship winning year and it worked. With Jrue scoring well most times. But by Middleton being hurt last 2 years the pressure was on Middleton to score more consistently and he got exposed.
@@ThePasterioJrue shot 30.3% from 3pt range during the championship run. Let me put it in perspective, Russell Westbrook shot 30.4%. If you think Jrue shot well, you are in for a real treat with Dame. Middleton played well offensively in all playoff runs. Except the year he didn’t play of course.
Great breakdown! I've been saying that Jrue should work on his jump shot for years. Dame + Giannis will be terrifying. Hopefully, Dame give Giannis some shooting tips because those free throws are going to be brutal if he looks just as bad next season.
Giannis will not need to even take them. You can’t hack a Giannis now. Giannis is a good passer and 7 foot. He’s the ideal person to inbound the ball. Just get it to dame and that’s it. Jrue wasn’t a reliable FT shooter in the playoffs either. The 2 ways teams beat Giannis, the wall and free throws, are not an option anymore.
Dames offensive prowess cannot be overstated. He was getting Portland a top 5 offense every year playing next to Alfarouq aminu and Mario hejzonia. There was a stretch where Portland was the best offense in the league while cj was injured and *HASSAN WHITESIDE* was their second best player. He is the best iso guard in the NBA, the most points per possession off pick and rolls, averages 8 assists a game passing to complete bums like justice Winslow and Nurkic, and stretches defenses to the 3 point line. By every metric, he was the second best offensive player in the league behind Jokic and had a season that is just as good as Currys mvp season. Giannis can set a screen for dame at half court and instantly slip it and get 3 extra seconds every possession to just sprint at the basket. Literally an unstoppable offensive pairing. As for the defense, dame will surprise you. When he’s not being forced to average 40 ppg to drag the blazers to the 8th seed, he’s fine. Portland had a top 10 defense in 2019 and that was WITH Cj McCollum who’s even worse somehow. Dames already a good post defender for a guard, the effort will ratchet up when he’s not playing in bad defensive schemes and forced to do everything. Is he a good defender? No. Can he be serviceable in a good system? Yes. In 2019 his defensive wings were aminu, moe harkless, and Rodney hood. Swap them out for Middleton and Giannis with Lopez as the anchor, the bucks will have 0 issues on defense. Crowder is a good defender, beauchamp is a good defender, patty c plays with energy, etc. even if somehow that doesn’t cut it, there will be an army of ring chasers begging for a vet min and the chance to play their ass off on defense for a ring.
This was a really goo breakdown! I love the clips you used to prove your point. I think talking about the amount of defensive they give up compared to the offense they gained was really well eloborated here. Great job!
I am really intrigued at your breakdown on the defensive end since that isn't something most people are talking about rn, but i totally agree the offensive will more than make up for the lackluster defense, as long as Giannas and Dame stay healthy and can gain some chemistry. Def going to be extremely interesting this season.
As a Blazer fan, I'd add that part of why Dame can be low effort on defense is being tired from how much offensive load he's had to carry. He should be better defensively on the Bucks since he'll have less offensive responsibility and he'll have better defenders around him. He has also had good defensive plays over the years! He's not a bad post defender.
The forgotten move along with the Jrue trade was for Bogdanovic. Bucks knew Jrue wasn't a perfect offensive player. If the team had Bogdanovic they might've had an easier 2021 run and a deeper 2022 season.
Bud sucks as a coach never adjust. Its really a testament to Giannis Greatness that they won with him as a coach, I don't know much about the new coach, but I have to assume he cant be worse.
@@IHadToMakeThisAccount I agree. Guannis singlehandedly won that Ring as also he singlehandedly made the Bucks,a 1st class Championship team. If Giannis didnt exist,no Middleton no any other that has been in that team,the last decades,could bring as much,as Giannis brought. They must put his statue,on all the parks and a golden one ,outside their stadium there in Milwaukee! Not for just for his success and what that brought to Milwaukee which is huge byitself,but for the young people,to have the perfect role model,always in their thoughts!!
I don't think there really will be defensive issue. I don't think they will quite be as good as they were before on that end, but given the defensive core around Dame I expect they still are a top 10 defense as well as being just a juggernaut of an offensive onslaught. This team is going to be on a whole other level.
Great video as always! Can you please make a Jrue Holiday video with potential trades and destinations. I think he’ll be dealt to either Philly or Chicago
Although Dame is obviously a better floor spacer than Holiday, using just this last year’s playoffs (which were poor for a majority of the Bucks roster in general) to show examples and statistics about Holiday’s 3pt shooting is simply not fair. Holiday was and still is a major upgrade from Bledsoe on the perimeter, so although I see why the comparisons were made I don’t think it is a very fair one. Holiday shot 39%, 41%, and 38.5% from 3 in his three years with Milwaukee. While again I totally understand your point about how massive the offensive upgrade is (specifically from a spacing standpoint), I think your analysis of Holiday as a floor spacer is harsh and fairly inaccurate.
@@mako9079 Yes his efficiency did drop in the playoffs at points in his time in Milwaukee, I’m not disputing that. I guess the point I’m trying to make is that if a casual NBA fan watched this video they would leave with the impression that Jrue Holiday is a Russell Westbrook-level shooter. Which even despite his drop in efficiency at certain points in the postseason, simply is not true.
@@bradperrotte2027 it is true. stats show that it is. it wouldn’t take 1 or 2 games of bad shooting for teams to start guarding him like that or for his percentages to be like that every year. Westbrook shot 36% from 3. Jrue shot 28%
This is what I've been trying to tell people. Jrue was horrible in the playoffs on offense. He killed them. Now you've replaced that with Dame Time? It's over. This offense could reach historical highs. The loss of Jrue's perimeter defense won't even matter because nobody will be able to stop the Bucks from scoring. Barring injuries of course.
Your argument is WELL LAID OUT and I couldn’t agree more!! It’s slightly easier to make up for the defensive deficiency with a guy like Lopez anchoring your D than it is to make up for the offensive end spacing issue…. Great presentation
That's what ppl dont get Like SKip and Pat Bev. Jrue in the crunch time moments and in the playoffs played badly most of the time and he doesn't create open shots more of a role playing type of star for the team.
Dame can shot with tons of player guarding him, now imagine if he is free most of the time. Or what kind of abuse the ring will have if Giannis is free most of the time.
I dont think defense is gonna be an issue for Bucks. They have Brook who is runner up of Dpoy last year, Giannis who is former Dpoy alongside with Middleton, Bobby, Crowder who are great defenders with big sizes and ok defenders like Wesley, Pat vs.. Other than that Bucks used to play drop coverage for rim protection and that will be very important strategy to cover Dames defensive leaks. On the offensive end u show in the video how things gonna change when Dame is on perimeter. But imo more important than that how lethal Giannis-Dame duo is gonna be on picknrolls. Dame is the best picknroll provider guard with 1.16 points per position in last five years on entire Nba and he does that with a player like Nurkic. When u change Giannis with Nurkic things gonna dramatically change.
There is a point that is not talked about enough though. Lillard's defence isnt that good but how can someone play good d when he has to carry the team every game and score 40 or more for them to win. He is not a superhuman, he cant take every offence on his hands and then play outstanding d for 37 min per game
I'm beginning to wonder if the Blazers-Bucks trade was discussed and decided months ago, but Joe Cronin had to give the Heat ample opportunity to beat the Bucks' offer. That way, everyone around the league could see the Heat's offer was weak, thus Dame couldn't complain much -- Cronin did everything he could to get Dame to Miami, but Riley was too stingy.
Without wanting to sound conspiratorial, the extreme silence on the buck's postseason seemed weird to me, almost like they were going for dame the whole time. That makes me unbelievably happy
@@wumbojetIt came out recently that Jon Horst and the Bucks front office discussed a trade for Lillard with the Blazers somewhere around July... the Bucks demanded from the Blazers to keep the talks in private or else they would withdraw... it's just that the Bucks decided to go all in right after Giannis made his statement about possibly leaving... Giannis himself isn't a guy that would allow a trade that involved his best friends (Giannis notoriously was against firing Jason Kidd as the head coach, but he was terribly wrong on this one)... so the Bucks avoided the publicity so they wouldn't have problems with Giannis as well...
To me the scariest part is that when they rest Giannis they won’t have to worry about losing efficiency with Dame on the court. Goes both ways. Rest Dame and you still have Giannis
Idc if they did win a ring and jrue was a big part of that... you know what was a bigger part? Injuries... there were so many injuries that playoffs alone that paved the way to the finals, that you can argue that the bucks wouldn't have made it to the finals that year had luck not gone their way. I'm sorry but the fact that they wouldn't have been enough to beat anyone in the finals, but because they won one ring they think they team solid, is honestly one of the most complacent things any team has done in the past couple of years.
As a tru Bucks fan I luvd nd really go miss Jrue being here...but if u look at :23-27 secs...ull see exactly why he got traded idc if he did hit the 3...it got even worst n the playoffs wen his confidence ws down and/or wen he ws tired running nd chasing Jimmy around cuz now that 3 wsnt falling nd he really didn't have enuff n the tank to come up big
Dame is no doubt nice but if you really look at what jrue did this year he was no slouch he was averaging like 30 when Giannis and kris was hurt and he was still playing defense and getting assists idk how much of that dame can do at this age he never been a great defender so getting rid of holiday might back fire but at the same time he kept talking about retiring that was his mistake because he basically saying he won’t be on team in a couple years
Because Dame will supposed to be the primary ball handler, Khris and Giannis can put more effort on defence. So I don't think the defense will be so bad.
or maybe the problem should be Giannis gotta stop committing on going to the bucket the moment he stepped on the 3 point line and also getting better post up move
The bucks have the best logo design in the nba so I’m glad they got dame a new dynasty hopefully they win 3 nba championships they are more than capable of achieving this goal dame is only 33 years old he got another 3 years of his prime left maybe 2 years of prime left
@@beantown4lifedefinitely not. Last time Celtics actually played a healthy bucks team they lost in 5. Also barely beat the bucks in 7 with Middleton out the whole series. Only can win series’ with injuries in placed…
@@andrewjones4774 we own them all last year with our whole team out, but go ahead jump on that bucks bandwagon, I will stick with my Boston team, good luck to all that hype and that pressure of winning, do you even know the coach of the bucks?
There was NO OTHER guy to shoot for Bucks last 2 seasons. Giannis was playing alone, hence the injuries as well....Grayson had 1 good game every 5, Jrue, Pat and Kris were shooting bricks constantly...Do I need to remind people that for some games against Boston 22 we were shooting unguarded 3s 10%...On one game Giannis was our best shooter from 3 with 25%...Jesus. Only Jevon survived the process and averaged acceptably, BUT he was the 3rd option of shooters. Dame is gonna space the floor, he is gonna give Giannis and Kris space to work, open shots and easier offence. We are good on defence without Jrue, we have Jae and Jevon is a pest as well...Brook, Giannis, Dame, Jae, Kris sounds scary....So does Brook, Giannis, Dame, Jevon, Booby.....And YES Dame is not a good defender, but he aint James Harden as well...He will get there. And if he keep Giannis more relaxed in offence, we will benefit from Giannis having more in the tank for dense as well.
This breakdown failed to mention howcJrue shot well The Championship winning year. Why. Because of a healthy Middleton. Jrue was most times the 3rd option and shit well most times. Niw, the last 2 seasons Middleton being hurt, the pressure increased on Jrue to shoot more and be the 2nd option as you see in this clip. So, the pressure increased on Jrue with no Middleton and Hrue simply got exposed for inconsistent shooting. Especially last season and the playoffs.
what is the big difference when damian is in mil .. same strategies pick other player not name damian and they ok with it.. the problem there is the mil losses 2 qualities guarding player.. in drey and allen..
With regard to the question at 2:50: This was towards the end of the game. Be sure that Giannis - once he takes his big steps - is most likely going to try to finish himself. So Martin tries to disturb him as much as he can. Probably didn't think about it twice, probably didn't think about who was at the three point line. Giannis is also not known for his Magic-like passing skills. So what gamble do you instinctively take in this situation? And don't forget, this is still Jrue Holiday. He has a ring, he can drill these shots, he's certrainly not a choker. You don't wanna leave him any more open than Dame in this situation.
And yet it's clear teams were pretty comfortable leaving him open enough to shoot while lightly contesting. They knew he was a poor postseason shooter.
A lot of players, if they gave Dame those kinds of looks, would be out of the game immediately
Literally
Not to meat ride dame too much but he's shown to be able to handle those looks and still deliver pretty easily, super interested to watch this season of the bucks

Fans still love jrue it’s sad I hope he’s doing alright
Dame and Gianni’s both EACH have the spacing of 2 players, it won’t be fair if they play their best
Theyre gonna sign more players during the season as they become available. Should be very interesting
Bucks has one more roster tho
Should go for bullock that would complete their roster imo.
as a bucks fan. watching jrue regress in the playoffs is such a sad site. he was a detriment to the bucks on the offensive side.
Great breakdown I appreciated it I’m not the most knowledgeable In basketball but still love it
What irritates me is the same non bucks fans saying jrue offense is suspect in the playoffs are the same people saying they made a mistake trading him
Lillard's obviously an upgrade offensively,
No defense in Eastern conference stands a chance
Finals . Lakers vs bucks
Youre doing great with these videos
random eric bledsoe slander
Anyone who doesn't think this trade is scary is kidding themselves.
Ty for this info bro keep the good work up
Thanks, will do!
To me the scariest part is that when they rest Giannis they won’t have to worry about losing efficiency with Dame on the court. Goes both ways. Rest Dame and you still have Giannis
1:23 Butler made the right decision. Allen is ~40% from deep. Dame is going to create mad space and lanes.

One of the weaker championships in the past 10 years
It’s gonna be a great nba season man
I mean you do have to help to stop the drive on some of those possessions no matter who the other defensive player is guarding
Overall it seems like a 20-25% in total defensive capability for the team and almost double the offensive upside
I don't think Griff is running the same offense as bud
Even though we got Dame .

When’s the “Jrue Holiday to the Celtics is Terrifying” video coming?
Bucks needed clutch playoff shooting. Jrue shot worse than Eric Bledsoe in the playoffs last year.
Because Dame will supposed to be the primary ball handler, Khris and Giannis can put more effort on defence. So I don't think the defense will be so bad.
Coach never played with plan, he didnt even play pick n roll, anarchy and luck.
VERY GOOD POINTS👍
Think u mighta earned a sub 😄
Lopez is gonna get pretty tired having to guard at least two guys all game. lol
And trying to grab rebounds from Dame's 5-12 missed threes in a row when he's not having a good game.
That team is perfect for the Triangle Offense!
It would have been more balance if he came to Miami but let’s see how this plays out. I thought nbapa was putting an end to super teams
That only works for layups though. Teams are gonna eat in the midrange
Midrange? Bro, its 2023.
or maybe the problem should be Giannis gotta stop committing on going to the bucket the moment he stepped on the 3 point line and also getting better post up move
The Duo of We have Steph Curry at home and Shaq that was ordered off of Wish
The bucks have the best logo design in the nba so I’m glad they got dame a new dynasty hopefully they win 3 nba championships they are more than capable of achieving this goal dame is only 33 years old he got another 3 years of his prime left maybe 2 years of prime left
Also giannis is the best help defender in the league
Yanis is a rim protector also
This gon be how Harden &Embiid supposed to be
Harden is washed since 2021. Dame still on top
On defense, Grayson Allen was just as much of a liability and Jrue didn't have a leg to stand on after last year's exit, so it's pure positives IMO
This wouldn’t look so bad if Jue try to to shoot closer instead of jacking up 3s.
I dont think Jrue Holiday is just being ignored on offense he's shot over 40% from 3 in his career for multiple seasons, he's a good shooter
30% in the playoffs for the last 3 years.....
as a Celtics fan I'm 100% worried
Relax we own those bucks
@@beantown4lifedefinitely not. Last time Celtics actually played a healthy bucks team they lost in 5. Also barely beat the bucks in 7 with Middleton out the whole series. Only can win series’ with injuries in placed…
@@andrewjones4774 we own them all last year with our whole team out, but go ahead jump on that bucks bandwagon, I will stick with my Boston team, good luck to all that hype and that pressure of winning, do you even know the coach of the bucks?
2 words, bucks must watch tv, Giannis and Dame super team
I think they should of kept Jrue
There was NO OTHER guy to shoot for Bucks last 2 seasons. Giannis was playing alone, hence the injuries as well....Grayson had 1 good game every 5, Jrue, Pat and Kris were shooting bricks constantly...Do I need to remind people that for some games against Boston 22 we were shooting unguarded 3s 10%...On one game Giannis was our best shooter from 3 with 25%...Jesus. Only Jevon survived the process and averaged acceptably, BUT he was the 3rd option of shooters. Dame is gonna space the floor, he is gonna give Giannis and Kris space to work, open shots and easier offence. We are good on defence without Jrue, we have Jae and Jevon is a pest as well...Brook, Giannis, Dame, Jae, Kris sounds scary....So does Brook, Giannis, Dame, Jevon, Booby.....And YES Dame is not a good defender, but he aint James Harden as well...He will get there. And if he keep Giannis more relaxed in offence, we will benefit from Giannis having more in the tank for dense as well.
This breakdown failed to mention howcJrue shot well The Championship winning year. Why. Because of a healthy Middleton. Jrue was most times the 3rd option and shit well most times. Niw, the last 2 seasons Middleton being hurt, the pressure increased on Jrue to shoot more and be the 2nd option as you see in this clip. So, the pressure increased on Jrue with no Middleton and Hrue simply got exposed for inconsistent shooting. Especially last season and the playoffs.
omg they are gonna be sooo good
Lol Boston is better
That talk on why you're ok with Dame's lack of defense is exactly why Bucks are about to get lit up on the perimeter
There were times the bucks got lit up on the perimeter even with jrue.
what is the big difference when damian is in mil .. same strategies pick other player not name damian and they ok with it.. the problem there is the mil losses 2 qualities guarding player.. in drey and allen..
holiday was great in the championship year but he's done now, totally overrated
Dame is so unassuming on the floor
Hell work wonders with gianni
Here's my bold take: The Bucks will be a top 5 defense and top 3 offense.
bucks is officially a glass cannon
They still have middleton lopez and bobby p... Also more role players will become available as the season goes on.
Lmao…….. Dame 3pt percentage .372. Holiday .366.
Dame as a 1st option. Jrue as a third
When did he become a bad shooter I thought he was good
With regard to the question at 2:50: This was towards the end of the game. Be sure that Giannis - once he takes his big steps - is most likely going to try to finish himself. So Martin tries to disturb him as much as he can. Probably didn't think about it twice, probably didn't think about who was at the three point line. Giannis is also not known for his Magic-like passing skills. So what gamble do you instinctively take in this situation?
And don't forget, this is still Jrue Holiday. He has a ring, he can drill these shots, he's certrainly not a choker. You don't wanna leave him any more open than Dame in this situation.
And yet it's clear teams were pretty comfortable leaving him open enough to shoot while lightly contesting. They knew he was a poor postseason shooter.
