@@Surreal79.well you thought wrong. Offensively, yeah he was bad. But in the defensive end, he was phenomenal. Held Shai to 3/12 shooting when guarding him
You know they're not playing for "prestige" right? They all get 100k so of course they are going to play it up like it matters. They want that extra money in their pocket. Take that cash reward away and the "prestige" will disappear completely.
Giannis wasn't Giannis till really 2016/17. Now Lilliard was HIM since 2014 playoffs, year 2 in the league. Sadly he never had a good enough team around him till recently.
Yeeeah Dame no matter what you have been doin your thing but your winning in this situation when it matters In season champ 3 point champ Let’s go dame Giannisly we will be them celts
@madclone84 he didn't suck he does what he does well.. But Bucks seem to have a better system now Ajax is a better point defender And Dame is better on Offense.. Jure was a combination of both
@@86lanzo quiet casual. I’ve watched almost every buck game since 19 and holiday continually let down his team on the bucks in 22. He got traded for a reason.
They easily would have last year if Giannis was able to play. He really let Dame down last year getting hurt in a meaningless game in April when he should have been sitting.
@@brunopedro5678butler would never work with giannis. U can't have 3 ball dominate players on the same team. Especially since giannis and butler operate in the same areas.
Who cares, JJ Reddick is the savior LeBron said they needed! So he's definitely better than Ham! All of those plumbers can shove it. JJ Reddick knows more about basketball than anyone!
Man up and tell us Giannis's full stats. The man also had 3 or for blocks, which proves that he's the best player on the planet because he plays defence.Unlike the big joke who plays absolutely zero defense.
@@xMaGuSx888 Kobe is a top five player of all time. And a 9 time all NBA Defensive first team. And 3 time all NBA second team. You can’t convince me or anyone else that dame is better than Kobe on offense or defense.
Remember how good the Lakers looked in the cup last year? This is meaningless. If the Bucks win the title it will be because they play well in May and June. 4 wins in December is the most meaningless thing to celebrate.
The Bucks did not meet either the Boston Celtics or Cleveland Cavaliers on their way to win the NBA Cup this season in the NBA Cup Tournament. Therefore, how can they say now, they have a chance to win it all? Lol! These guys are jokers. Let us see how things unfolds from now until the start of April 2025, especially in regards to which team will be the most healthiest in making a good run to win it all. Then one can come up with a good conclusion at the start of April 2025 on who will win it all in June of 2025. The season is still early. Lots of basketball games to still be played in this present ongoing NBA season of years 2024 to 2025. Peace...
Boring NBA Cup coz they take down the GSW if this is GSW vs Bucks it will be fun to watch but nba officials wants OKC to win thats why the nba cup is boring lol
Doc hasn't won since 08. Get a better coach. Or do people not remember last season. Or the start of this one. They will get bounced 2nd round. Too injured. Not hungry like 21
If Giannis ever gets injured during the playoffs or before, their chances are 0% and that's why I don't buy the hype. Thunder vs Celtics 2025 NBA finals. Thunder in 7
......Reffs changed that game when they let Greek Freak jump on Thunder dude's back and not even call a foul. That swung momentum. Im kool with No Calls, but not Obvious no calls. Shoulda just let them play on and see who's better.
Championship 🤔🤔🤔what happened to LA 🤔🤔🤔... If Dame can do everything that the Bucks give up because of him,then maybe Bucks have a chance not to win the championship but at least to be in the playoffs.
NBA MOVE THE 3PT LINE BACK ITS TOO EASY FOR PROFESSIONALS NOW! If the line is moved back then real basketball could be played again...more plays for 2 point buckets...and less 3 point specialists because 3 point percentage would fall off .. and yes you would need to make the court longer and a bit wider ...BUT IT WILL MAKE THE GAME BETTER!!!! THE GAME CAN GROW.

Love the Andre Jackson Jr appreciation.
Actually i thought he was bad yesterday
@@Surreal79.well you thought wrong. Offensively, yeah he was bad. But in the defensive end, he was phenomenal. Held Shai to 3/12 shooting when guarding him
Seth Greenberg is one of the only good analysts left on ESPN
@@Surreal79. in what ways was he bad?
Love how non Bucks fans are quickly learning about Ajax
The switch up is real
For real I swear these pages just be slandering the bucks for content. Giannis even made fun of all these pages on a podcast over it
This team is really weird, they go from really bad to really good with the same roster, just because they figured out how to play together
It’s no switch up the the bucks were playing like trash at first what were they supposed to do praise them still while they was losin🤔
@@lVloneythey were literally talking about how Giannis should request a trade in the pre game
This is part of why Giannis is my favorite player in the NBA right now.
The team passion for these CUP tournament games is what really adds prestige and status to the newly established CUP championship.
If it continues for another 20+ years, players & fans will probably start having more respect for it & start seeing it as a prestigious award.
@@lazzi2462 No 20+ years really needed, fans engage almost immediately when they see high levels competitiveness from players.
You know they're not playing for "prestige" right? They all get 100k so of course they are going to play it up like it matters. They want that extra money in their pocket. Take that cash reward away and the "prestige" will disappear completely.
Shout out to Ajax taking up the point of the defense that we lost with Jure and Javon Carter..
Good analysis by Seth.
How lucky is Taurean Prince?!! The first and only player so far, to have won the NBA Cup twice!!
Giannis is the best player in the world, the true MVP! Stop dis pointing him
Giannis is still this dominate after 12 years. Let that sink in.
Giannis wasn't Giannis till really 2016/17. Now Lilliard was HIM since 2014 playoffs, year 2 in the league. Sadly he never had a good enough team around him till recently.
Go Bucks Go!!!
😂The Thunder got punkd! Physically man handled the entire game
If Gannis is putting out this kind of effort for an in season tournament, how much more can he do for another title!🤔😱
Yeeeah
Dame no matter what you have been doin your thing but your winning in this situation when it matters
In season champ 3 point champ
Let’s go dame
Giannisly we will be them celts
Jrue really a comp guard in today’s nba he’s really a championship master piece part reason bucks won in 21
Then he sucked in 22. That’s why he got traded
@madclone84 he didn't suck he does what he does well..
But Bucks seem to have a better system now
Ajax is a better point defender
And Dame is better on Offense..
Jure was a combination of both
@@86lanzo quiet casual. I’ve watched almost every buck game since 19 and holiday continually let down his team on the bucks in 22. He got traded for a reason.
@@madclone84exactly casuals need to be quiet
jrue is great but offensivly he is like the 4th option Bucks needed a scorer and jrue aint one!!!
Giannis is the best player in the NBA…elite on offense n defense
That boy shae got locked down by that UConn boy 😂
Callin it, if dame n Giannis r healthy, they can take the team to the ECF
They can win it all if the team is operating on all cylinders like they did against the Thunder
@ idk I still think it’ll be hard to beat the Celtics in a 7 game series
@@jemonecochran7367 yea but can say the same for the Bucks there is nobody on the Celtics stopping Giannis
They easily would have last year if Giannis was able to play. He really let Dame down last year getting hurt in a meaningless game in April when he should have been sitting.
Trust in every person team now
Bucks and Lakers will be forever linked. Kareem, 1st and 2nd teams to win NBA Cup. Can't write this stuff man.
Darvin hamm 14 and 0 in the cup
ESPN continues to show their two-faced nature
Giannis is the best player ever. period
@1:28 look at how deep Brook is back. Bratha scoot your big us up or cut to the cup
I feel like they need another piece for depth but Giannis and Dame are on a mission rn
Bucks still need another SF
Jimmy for Middleton 👀
@@brunopedro5678butler would never work with giannis. U can't have 3 ball dominate players on the same team. Especially since giannis and butler operate in the same areas.
They have the highest efficiency 3pt shooter in the whole league starting at SF, you do know that, right?
We are already the oldest team in the league, they should only trade for players that are under 25
We good we don’t need nothing but what we got
MVP and DPOY at any trophies NBA has 😊 well done Bucks!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Get us an athletic switchable pf/c and we’re cookin
how can the video quality be so bad at 1080p? Maybe swap your equipment with iphones :)
seth with the good analysis, Andre Jackson is truly a problem for the stars, he did it with tre young and now with sga. good pick for the bucks
Who cares, JJ Reddick is the savior LeBron said they needed! So he's definitely better than Ham! All of those plumbers can shove it. JJ Reddick knows more about basketball than anyone!
He is a messiah worthy of praise and adoration! Bootlickers of the world unite!
Knee pads?
😂😂@@volfi123
Lol lebron's getting bested by plumbers
Don’t Ever Use D Roses Line For Somebody Else
jabari parker would be the perfect bench scorer for us
Because they won a in season tournament..I'm sickud mane!!!.... WE'LL SEE WHAT THE REST OF THE SEASON HOLD
Wym calibre, he already won one
Funny that weeks ago they are contemplating on trading Giannis.
Andre Jackson Jr., is the key to the Bucks defense! He is that key replacement for Jrue Holiday, Javon Carter and PJ Tucker!
Man up and tell us Giannis's full stats. The man also had 3 or for blocks, which proves that he's the best player on the planet because he plays defence.Unlike the big joke who plays absolutely zero defense.
If you bet Thunder in a big game against Giannis and Dame time idk what to tell you 💀
Thunder was a 5 point favor against the bucks and didn't make the spread.
OKC young and talented best record in the NBA no match for Wylie veterans bucks tournament champions next will be the the 3xNBA champions
I need to know where that 500k is straight up
The nba cup feels so wired
Bunch of hypocrites. You’ve been talking trash about the bucks or not talking when there climbing in the standings. Pitiful
Bucks winning this Cup basically give legitimacy to what the Cup will represent going forward. This is something the players want to win now.
We need Jordan Clarkson on the Grizzlies....
They ain’t champion ship ready it was a outlier that the thunder miss so many open threes they wouldn’t beat the thunder in a 4 game series
Giannis and Dame are the new Shaq and Kobe... but with a Shaq who's in shape.
Giannis to Shaq okay… Dame to Kobe… Bro I can’t get behind that. Kobe had a bag. Dame is more of a one trick pony.
@@dylandude27naw Dame has a bag, the comparison stops at defense
@@dylandude27 And a Kobe that can't play an ounce of defense.
@@xMaGuSx888 Kobe is a top five player of all time. And a 9 time all NBA Defensive first team. And 3 time all NBA second team. You can’t convince me or anyone else that dame is better than Kobe on offense or defense.

Bucks are better than the knicks
So diverse u are, espn. Just luck always have equally talented people of every kind and gender. What are the odds. But no big girls?
With Doc on the Buck, not a chance they win a ring.
Stop hatin just stop😅
It’s been quiet for that take for about 2 weeks now. Save it.
Too bad nobody cares or watches the NBA anymore
Cap AF
Trade Middleton for a Center! Slide Andre Jackson or AJ Green into that starting SF slot then we talking CONTENDER!
Boring NBA Cup coz they take down the GSW if this is GSW vs Bucks it will be fun to watch but nba officials wants OKC to win thats why the nba cup is boring lol
Gianni's finally overcoming Doc Rivers Jinx
Doc hasn't won since 08. Get a better coach. Or do people not remember last season. Or the start of this one. They will get bounced 2nd round. Too injured. Not hungry like 21
Stop hatin just stop😅
I wouldn’t say they not hungry. Their team just been injured.
Y'all saying this untill Horford Bows Giannis out of the Playoffs again 😂😂
Have the Celtics ever beat a healthy team😂😂😂 nobody respects the Mickey Mouse ring
Y'all said the same thing about the Lakers in 2020 @chops34 and about GS in 2015 stop hating
🤡
Celtics fans gotta be the most insecure fanbase in the league 💀😭.
Celtics not going to the NBA championship
If Giannis ever gets injured during the playoffs or before, their chances are 0% and that's why I don't buy the hype.
Thunder vs Celtics 2025 NBA finals.
Thunder in 7
what about if same thing happens to SGA or JB you sure their guys gonna win it all?
@janhortaleza3100 I'm sure we got Chet and sga or Chet and Jalen either way they're a great young group that plays both sides of the ball hard
Bro stop the cap bro😂😂 Boston is not okc , Boston in 4
Stop playin😂😂if these two teams are both healthy it's 6 or 7 games
@ no it’s not u really believe that bro
@ white and Jrue putting Damian in a box he’s going to get mad real fast
@@mayibee_07 I’ll come back to this comment when playoffs start
0 nba cup appearances 😂😂😂 celtics fans are so jelly, gianni living RENT FREE
Both these teams suck 😂 and this is coming from a Celtics Guy 💯 Win a Real Championship 😂😂😂

Giannis sucks
