Sleeper team on the east tbh, I still think they are top 3 in the east at worst. Bucks getting Gary Trent, Delon Wright, and Prince on vet contracts was a steal. The roster is already upgraded from last year plus improved chemistry in year 2, all they gotta do is stay healthy for the playoffs.
Dame last season said that he didn’t work over the offseason so imagine this offseason since Dame is training more we get to see Portland dame in Milwaukee
Boy trust me they have more than enough defense with the new editions they got and remember out of those top three teams Celtics Knicks Philadelphia none of them have a gannis defensive player of the year they needed a couple wing defenders in which they got. Now name some defensive stoppers on the Knicks and Philadelphia we know what Boston has.
@@Millirah1981 Bucks fan but when healthy OG is the real deal. But regardless i like the upgrades the bucks have made. Maybe one more move but good offseason so fsr
The Bucks starting lineup had the number 1 net rating amongst all starting lineups last season including the Denver Nuggets who were number 2. Their defensive rating was in the 95th percentile when that lineup was on the floor together, and that's with a starting 2 guard that is not a good perimeter defender. They can defend. Also what do you think will happen now that they also have improved the roster with better defensive pieces like Gary Trent, Delon Wright, Taurean Prince, and being willing to play their younger guys more like AJ Green, Chris Livingston, Andre Jackson Jr, etc? All of them can defend to respectable levels if not well above that. They have defense. They could've won a championship last year, but all kinds of bad contextual circumstances tore their season apart, and the media and ignorant fans just ignored that and mocked them/dismised their chances, especially going forward. It's gonna be funny when they shock everyone with how good they are and people are act all surprised when, for people who've actually watched the team closely, they could've seen it coming a mile away. You all just fall in love with whatever new teams make a trade when in reality, neither New York nor Philly made trades that transform them into a better team than the Bucks for the playoffs.
yup and they all know it. dame tried recruiting haywood highsmith from miami but they could only offer him the minimum. bros a straight menace on defense he’s the modern pj tucker
Stop it!!! The doc rivers negative saga is extremely overrated @ this point brother… it’s like Trumps incoherent topic still talking about Joe Biden when Biden BEEN dropped out. Just let bygones be bygones.
perk thinks zion is 7 feet tall and wont get ripped apart by every other center in the league, 1 game guarding jokic as the biggest guy on the court for the pels and i guarantee you its back to injury reserves for him
They have more than enough! Made major moves this offseason. A HEALTHY DAME finally coming into this season. Darvin Ham back on the coaching bench. Redemption season, they might be the first team to defeat Boston this year with no other team to worry about.
Herb Jones & Trey Murphy may take that next step and that's scary hours for the rest of the league..I'd trade AR15 for Herb Jones in a heart beat!!! He's that good on defense
The Bucks were a hospital ward all season, and a war hospital in the playoffs. They just never were healthy. I hope they stay healthy all playoff long.
This brother just asked if zion williamson suddenly become one of the greatest defenders of this generation??? And i knew Zion could hoop , but just like clockwork .. when everything was on the line , this dude gets hurt AGAINNNN
Chiney... cute, bawdy, all-star, number 1 draft pick, humor, intellect (she's carrying these shows fr), outfits, and now find out she a gold-medalist? She passing the paper AND analytics test.. good lawd
I think the bucks can contend if they can get a cheaper/slept on player that is currently either a rookie or a young role player that can be developed into a star and can compliment either dame or Giannis when one of them are injured but can also have a star role when they are both injured. Sort of like Bobby Portis when he’s at his peak, but someone that is good all around that can take over consistently when both of our 2 stars are injured. Maybe someone like GG Jackson or Cam Thomas but someone that’s size is between dame and Giannis that can play small forward or shooting guard. No one saw SGA becoming the star he is today. Maybe theres someone that could have a similar rise he did that the bucks could pick up.
@@BC_ballerClipz unfortunately they won't it is just bigger than them,after all this years of giannis they couldn't develop nothing around him i understand jabari parker project went wrong but come on the Gm is lazy just look at the kind of picks they took this year I'm a lakers fan but i have always supported bucks from the east.
@@sweetpotato908 I agree I think rather than drafting a nobody that will always be a role player, they should have took the risk and draft someone like Tyler Kolek.
i think they were trying to do that by drafting aj johnson (which is a high risk high reward gamble) they also signed gary trent to a prove it deal which would be the closest thing to another slept on free agent. I think the bucks did good considering the lack of resources that they had
@@matthewadedayo5505 they had a good record when he missed games so I'm sorry I disagree this notion Giannis does it all needs to stop Middleton was a huge part of that chip team also Holiday along with Lopez anchoring that defense ....Giannis ain't alone
i'm not buying what the knicks are selling just because of one good year and because the other teams lost their big players doesn't mean let's just slot them in remember they were 2 games above 500 near the halfway mark
Celtics, Bucks and Sixers are the top teams in the East. Each team has at least 3 superstars and a bench. I’m don’t see anything special about the Knicks or any other team in the East.
The highest scoring duo they first year together In Houston is Harden and Westbrook by 61 pts and their the highest scoring duo in nba history tf is y’all talking about
First all, they need to trade Giannis brother and get a better road player. Like Charles Barkley said, dude got the best job in the world. Sit on a nba bench to be bodyguard for superstar brother and still get paid 2mill
All of you guys are correct, The Dream Team, in the 1990s were unbeatable! But I call this USA 2024 Olympic Basketball Team , ..."THE "DREAM - DREAM" TEAM"...or The "TEAM OF DREAMS"... I am a big fan of; Magic, Bird & Jordan...but like Stephen A. would say:..."THEY NOT READY FOR THIS..."
ESPN love Lebron so much they literally just faked a stat to include him how they the most since Bron and Wade when Steph and KD first year together both avg 25?? Smh do better….
Bucks not getting past the 2nd round of the playoffs. They need a bench and they don't have anyone outside they big 3 and they're only getting older. Dame is slowing down in my opinion and Brook Lopez is as well, the Bucks are getting old and worn out fr. The Bucks aren't built for the playoffs. I have the Celtics, Knicks, 76ers, and even the Pacers above the Bucks. Knicks, 76ers, and Pacers are the 3 deepest teams in the East. The Bucks have little to no depth and have to be completely healthy to win. Those other 4 teams can win with an injury or two in my opinion.
You people really don’t watch basketball bucks played without Gianni’s in the playoffs ofc they lost in the first round and dame wasn’t healthy either next season with both of them healthy plus more chemistry they will make the finals nobody can beat them when fully healthy.
Bucks need Steph curry and Draymond to compete for a year or two. They should either make a play for them, or trade Gianni’s to them for their whole future and bucks would be good for the next 15 years. And maybe warriors compete for one or two rings.
Bucks need to dump Lopez. He is washed and too slow. They need to get another athletic big and play Giannis as a center more and run more. Giannis should be a point/center. And, get a perimeter defender.
The Celtics got lucky WITH an injured Bucks roster. Made a cake walk through the EAST! Let me repeat…. THE CELTICS got OUTTA HOT WATER NOT FACING A HEALTHY BUCKS last post season.
We forget people were calling the Dallas duo of Kyrie and Luka a surefire bust... next year they were in the championship. Giannis has been there, Dame has been far in the playoffs. They probably need some further tweaks on the defense because Middleton is no longer a strong defensive player, and same with big Brook... but dismissing them would be nuts.
nope, dame wont improve his defense and decision making as a PG, and giannis isn’t shooting a jumpshot with confidence ever, and thanasis wont dethrone his brother as the best player, letting go of jrue for an overrated PG ended there chances

Right 😂. I caught that. Math not adding up.

That’s because they lying. They said they combined for 48 & and they lost DEFINITELY had multiple duos average more than that.

Great quality depth additions. I expect Giannis , Dame & Mil to make it to at least the Eastern Conference Finals vs Philly.
The expectations for the Bucks Dame and Giannis year 1 was crazy. Thats why when a small market team actually does win. It hits harder !
The Lakers got rid of Prince smh
Not getting rid of Lopez is going to hamper the Bucks ....Dude is a snail 🐌
They won a championship with him

Josh hart average more rebounds than Lopez. Let that sink in. A 7 foot player getting out rebounding by a 6 4 guard. Just a waste of great height.
With the additions they made on the veteran minimum they absolutely can.
They have more than enough! Made major moves this offseason. A HEALTHY DAME finally coming into this season. Darvin Ham back on the coaching bench. Redemption season, they might be the first team to defeat Boston this year with no other team to worry about.
Dang the league has some stars
75%. Just to be clear, was Ja Morant talking about his (exaggerated) health or the probability of being suspended again?.........
When it comes to the Bucks I don't think is a matter of improving is about Gianni's staying healthy
delon wright underrated
ESPN not including Vince Villiams JR in that grizzlies roster graphic just disrespectful, he might start
That opening graphic is not even close to being correct. Giannis and Dame averaged 54.7 combined last year
No way Holiday just won Boston a championship its already a fail.
Thank you Perk I love your confidence for the Pelicans
I guess the producers and crew finally caught on and stopped letting chiney turn her back to the camera 😂😂😂
Weirdo its for the PEOPLE of CULTURE

Bucks need Williams 3rd in Portland a true center
nah nah nah ja’s fine in the west keep that same energy
But Grizzlies are not good either. I trust Bucks more than that overrated team. lol
KD and Steph averaged 50 points in their first season together
This is a fact
They don't the the nba apparently
Harden and westbrook averaged 61 points, 34 and 27 respectively, in their only season together in Houston 2019-2020

It doesn’t really matter because it’s not a 2 v 2 league

Why would you buy stock in this team? They have the worst coach in the league

i'm not buying what the knicks are selling just because of one good year and because the other teams lost their big players doesn't mean let's just slot them in remember they were 2 games above 500 near the halfway mark
Dame ain’t ready for big moments
I mean the Clippers & Sixers also had a full training camp under Doc when they blew the 3-1 lead in the playoffs, so what are we saying here?
I hope middleton will be healthy this season
Bucks are like the 2018-19 blazers with giannis and no D so idk if that’s good or bad
Perk off the perks
injuries derailed us the last two years‼️ WE READY TO HOOP 🦌
Defense was so bad this year that even being healthy wouldnt save the Bucks
What’s the over under on Ja Morant receiving a third gun related suspension from the NBA
About the same as ya grandma 😅
trey murphy shouldn't be a bench player
Celtics, Bucks and Sixers are the top teams in the East. Each team has at least 3 superstars and a bench. I’m don’t see anything special about the Knicks or any other team in the East.
If Giannis plays at the 5,,they have a chance
Middleton will be their X factor
If he does his thing they will definitely be in with a chance!!!!
I think Dame is gonna bounce back.
Imma give him the benefit of the doubt for his first time being on a new team/new system
Let's go pacers
AD and Bron both averaged 25 last year??
I think folks are over selling the Knicks. I think the only reason they may finish 3rd is because the Sixers may need some
they earned the 2 seed with injuries like other teams and plus they got better.
please do a OKC analysis!!
mmmm didn't luka and kyrie average more this season???
48.7 and 30 was Gianna’s 😂😂
Sad what happened to the projection of JA he could’ve easily have been top 5
I wanna see zion get at least 8 RPG
Thunder, Mavericks and Nuggets top teams in the west.
If DOC is still there coach then they’re not making it to finals
ESPN loves to lie Russ and HArden did way more then that
They might be able to get out of the 1st round
Their backcourt has no defense
They both gonna fake injuries close to the playoffs again when they know they ain't going anywhere 😂
KD & Curry averaged more too
The highest scoring duo they first year together In Houston is Harden and Westbrook by 61 pts and their the highest scoring duo in nba history tf is y’all talking about

Bucks vs Nuggets supposed to be the rivalry in the finals but Boston and Dallas arent lying down or just giving up.
