SAS straight up said Dame should be traded after the first season and ESPN has the Bucks ranked as a Play-in team. Now we're a contender again after one game? ESPN are never consistent! 😂I always thought the Bucks needed real time to gel and even though Embiid and George didn't play, it's clear they are more cohesive and still a contender. Giannis, Dame, and Khris are definitely enough to win a title! ESPN's flip flopping is tiresome and the NBA coverage deserves better.
I know the show is called First Take, but they don't literally need to say the first thing they think of. Team A wins, "they're a real threat." Next day Team A loses, "do we need to start talking about blowing this up?"
I completely agree, but they are after the views. And the Bucks have been on the other side of this, as Windy alluded to. Their playoff exits have been because their two best players were injured. This isn't a swipe, but Embiid and PG13 are two injury prone players. Like it or not, this is what the Sixers will look like in the playoffs.
The bucks get a win over the embiid and pgless sixers and now the comments are saying the bucks be something? Do yal realize Giannis and dame average 55pts combined last year anyways as is?😭
It's doc Rivers LOL people remember. It's doc Rivers. This is literally the same story for every dark Rivers team. Are we going to act like the past never happened?😂😂😂
Dames is my favorite player but there's something I notice he can't utilize giannis as a point guard the other teams know what dame does and that is scoring so he gotta work on his point guard skills so the other teams won't figure him out just like steph
The thing is, when he gets really hot, it doesn’t matter if they figure him out because he goes on streaks where he’ll make 4-5 threes in a row with a man in his face, and when that happens you gotta let him cook.
Dame is definitely more comfortable and free in his 2nd year with the bucks that 3rd option can be Middleton but he’s not reliable sadly due to injuries
Just stay off the bucks. Media been talking trash about this team and doc all season. Can’t wait till we get in form. Just wait till the season plays along
WTH are these guys trying to sell? 1) The Dame trade was dumb. Holiday is a better fit for a championship team. That was proven in 2018 when Holiday dominated Dame in the playoffs. After that, the 2 championship teams with Holiday. 2) This team sabotaged themselves by firing a coach that had them in 1st place for coach who has underachieved since leaving Boston. The Bucks need to prove they are the caliber of team these guys are trying to sale
Milwaukee NEEDS Middleton to be 100% and them to figure out Lopez is somewhat washed and to play Giannis at center more with Portix as the PF who can spread the floor. That is how they can contend with Boston. I would also say a trade where they bring another athletic 4-5 man. I just think Lopez is washed and slows them down way too much.
They're going to have to figure out how to account for Dame's non-existent defense. Sure, you can hide him on that end during the regular season, but not in the playoffs. If I'm an opposing squad, I'm hunting him often.
He actually played good defensively last night and was among the best point guards defensively last season. The Bucks had the #1 defense in the NBA before Jrue even got there. They'll be fine.
@spongeaang98 they had Eric Bledsoe, a tough-minded defensive point guard. Little Dame will be in trouble if he is not scoring. We don't need Portland Dame, we need a better version. One that scores and scraps
I don't buy to this ...same talk last year ....now remember......the Celtics got starters and a bench that can score and defense ........drop mic.....your not just going to win with giannis and Dame .....much respect but the Bucs should of never got rid of Holiday ....talking about making moves .,...
Nah stay on that side. We heard everything yall said. Now yall wanna acknowledge that giannis was injured and that the Celtics had it easy because we were gone? Lmaoo ok ESPN
Nobody is beating a healthy Celtics. Not a single team in the East, I don't care who it is. They now have no pressure on them to succeed which will make them even more dangerous now. The Jays are in their prime now, and they kept every player. They have the best 2 way starting 5 in the entire league. They don't just score, they play great defense. Every player on the team can shoot from 3, even their bigs lol. A few West teams will make a great finals though vs the C's.
The Bucks matched up 4 times last season. Celtics barely won two games by 3 and 5 points after blowing 30 point leads to them and the other Bucks wins were dominant blowouts that were so bad the Celtics rested their starters at half time.
@@spongeaang98Boston also had several close games with indy last year even a couple Ls in the regular season… would you consider indy on the same level as Boston?
@chops34 if Giannis is available all season and Dame plays like Dame, how are you betting against that. It is Dame and Giannis, what are we talking about

People are allowed to change their minds. It's not that deep.

That’s wat I saying this clown was making Milwaukee look stupid last year.
Yessah!! Everything on their commenting before the season started was Celtics knicks 76 ers. And btw Giannis is gone and We’re told old lmao

Well YOU'RE not a contender all of a sudden unless u play in Milwaukee😂
As a Celtics fan, welcome to the club of the espn flip flop
That’s what makes ESPN great! They full of idiots and never fail to amaze & amuse us!
We knew the bucks were contenders it’s just they don’t believe in Us anymore i kept reminding ppl Gi was hurt back to back years
Bucks shot themselves giving Boston jrue holiday.
Stay on that side! ESPN been talking down all offseason
Who u think the bucks is?? They losers just every other team is right now nothing g special 😂😂😂

That's the name of the game. Lots of great teams and players can't stay healthy. Not an excuse.

Gotta love ESPN clowns saying 15 team are contenders based on 1 game
I mean they played the Sixers without Joel or PG…
I completely agree, but they are after the views.
And the Bucks have been on the other side of this, as Windy alluded to. Their playoff exits have been because their two best players were injured.
This isn't a swipe, but Embiid and PG13 are two injury prone players. Like it or not, this is what the Sixers will look like in the playoffs.
Giannis vs luka finals would be insane
Naw that will be a cake walk for MKE!!
Bro they played a team missing 2 key players
THANK YOU WINDY💯💯💯💯
The bucks get a win over the embiid and pgless sixers and now the comments are saying the bucks be something? Do yal realize Giannis and dame average 55pts combined last year anyways as is?😭
Giannis with dribble dribble euro step dunk every possession will not work in the playoffs
It's DAME TIME!! Call in it, The curse breaks 2025.
Nah Dame is injury prone now.
Dame did the same thing last year started the year off great had everyone saying they were going to win and then boom
It's doc Rivers LOL people remember. It's doc Rivers. This is literally the same story for every dark Rivers team. Are we going to act like the past never happened?😂😂😂
Well, we're definitely not gonna act like you know the future.
Hated Windy when it felt like he literally repped the Cavs in the late 2010s,
but now i love Windy like how i loved Jonah Hill in Moneyball.
Dames is my favorite player but there's something I notice he can't utilize giannis as a point guard the other teams know what dame does and that is scoring so he gotta work on his point guard skills so the other teams won't figure him out just like steph
Good observation. When Dame is in the zone, he mostly looks to score. He almost never spot up in the corner.
The thing is, when he gets really hot, it doesn’t matter if they figure him out because he goes on streaks where he’ll make 4-5 threes in a row with a man in his face, and when that happens you gotta let him cook.
ESPN is a clown show. Yesterday the lead was Giannis might ask for a trade if they dont win.
Dame is definitely more comfortable and free in his 2nd year with the bucks that 3rd option can be Middleton but he’s not reliable sadly due to injuries
Just stay off the bucks. Media been talking trash about this team and doc all season. Can’t wait till we get in form. Just wait till the season plays along
Dame defense doesn't matter as much as long as Brook and Giannis are healthy. He just gotta be average on that side of the ball
😂🤣😂🤣until the playoffs start and they match up hunt him into switches
So basically SAS is saying if the Bucks keep playing teams who are missing their best 2 players then they will be championship contenders.
October ball is serious lmao. I'm old enough to remember when people starting paying attention in February.
Stay on that side bro don't switch up
It’s only one game hahahahaha the glazing is on different time this year hahahhaaa
So they just forgot about Middleton..
Bucks and Dubs in the finals in ‘25 you heard it here first folks
😭😭😭😭😭
Hahaha 🤡
Get out of 1st round first.
Too soon to call
Disagree. Both dubs and bucks will get eliminated in the play in tournament. Both curry and dame will take step backwards. Both are too old
WTH are these guys trying to sell?
1) The Dame trade was dumb. Holiday is a better fit for a championship team. That was proven in 2018 when Holiday dominated Dame in the playoffs. After that, the 2 championship teams with Holiday.
2) This team sabotaged themselves by firing a coach that had them in 1st place for coach who has underachieved since leaving Boston.

They mentioned the Bucks at no time being frontrunners..they beat a depleted Sixers team now they're a threat😂😂😂

That is how they can contend with Boston. I would also say a trade where they bring another athletic 4-5 man. I just think Lopez is washed and slows them down way too much.
I don't see them beating the Celtics in a 7 game series, plain and simple, yeah I said it😎

No; how long can they both score like that?
Are these guys clueless ? “Might need a third guy who can defend the perimeter “ uhhhh Kris Middleton is on that team did they forget ?
💙💙💙🇺🇸V0TE BLUUUU 🇺🇸💙💙💙
Mix to win it all? You're telling me they're better than Boston? Yea no way SAS is being serious here.
Middleton is going to sit out until activated at playoff time
They still need another big player, Middleton never plays. Maybe they can grab Lavine from down the freeway.
dame gonna show everyone he's the best guard in the east, so much disrespect last season
lol espn is a sports reporting network. the opinions are ever changing because opinions always change. they’re always gonna switch up 🤷🏾♂️
If it wasn’t for dame last night, I would’ve fallen asleep watching the game since all Giannis does is run full speed at the basketball. Kinda boring.
Bucks can't guard Celtics but Celtics can guard Bucks
Nah ya gotta stay on that side 😂😂😂
Not against the Lakers, especially for the simple fact that the Lakers swept them without lebron james.
How can they win it all when they beat a team without they 2 main players 🤦🏽♂️
Nobody worried about no defense playing Milwaukee lol
Nah Stephen A ... stay on the other side please and thank you

Celtics still wash them
I think Milwaukee's window officially closed last season, but maybe Dame and Giannis will figure out how to make an improbable run.
these takes are so dumb 1 game played and "can they win it all" against a embiid/pg less team
Stephen a lost his mind
Who cares Celtics in 5 cmon
Lmao they played a starless Philly team
Its one game clown..sas needs to grab a clue.

Nope they are not.
Why would anyone want him?
Calm down. It’s one game. 😂 also the Mavs are going to be winning it all.

Eh I don’t know bout all that. Dame can’t play d. And doc is doc
Beating an injured 76ers team doesn’t mean jack. Celtics still cooking the Bucks if they meet in the playoffs

Nobody is COOKING a healthy giannis . They may win but they are definitely not cooking that’s a stretch
Boston with Porzingis is unbeatable
Dame needs to play defense 76ers were garbage a real team would cook us
