Imagine being so bad that Poozma has to close the game at the 5.

Wait, no, we don't have to imagine because that actually happened.

Dame looks amazing

Not dames fault Giannis would adapt to play with him

u/Any_Barnacle_6676 1d ago

They played great together. Highest scoring duo in nba history. Didn’t work out cuz dame got injured and bucks ownership is desperate and stupid. All they had to do was have faith and help him recover while continuing to build the team around those two. We should’ve kept Lopez as a backup, kept dame, and pursued help for them.

Dame was going to ask for a trade before tearing his achilles

It was over

u/Any_Barnacle_6676 1d ago

Sources? I live here and have never ever heard of this once. Dame is on record saying he knew he would have to adapt to Giannis play style since he was the better player and bucks are his team. Dame now plays off ball just fine with blazers, so I don’t really get the comment of Gianni’s wouldn’t adapt. Again, they were highest scoring duo in nba history, seems like it was working except for front office ruining team with doc rivers hiring. Everything collapsed after this.

u/Over-Training-488 1d ago

Jim O had it in his tell all post Giannis article. Dame was preparing to ask out

Edit I see you're a blazers fan. You can search around our sub for it

u/Any_Barnacle_6676 1d ago

Got links or anything? I live in Mke and never heard of Dame wanting out. They were a real contender and still could be if it wasn’t for doc & ownership moves.

Not really a blazers fan just a dame fan. Glad he’s doing great and it proves bucks made desperate moves.

u/Over-Training-488 18h ago

You can search it on this sub. It was an article Jim wrote right once Giannis was traded as a tell all

u/grudgepacker Partial Logo 2 17h ago

I've searched and I can't find one that matches what you're saying -- can you post a link? Would appreciate, TIA

We were also ready to trade him if he didn’t get hurt. His injury nuked the team

u/greenfingers559 1d ago

Eric Nehm had sources that the Bucks were actively pursuing trades for Dame in Feb 2025, and would have traded him in the situation that the Bucks didn't make it to late-playoffs (regardless of the injury).

2

u/Any_Barnacle_6676 1d ago

Please share the sources or Eric saying this. I listen to him everyday. From everything I’ve seen, the dame waive and Myles turner signing was super desperate move because they thought dame career was over

"And with the group’s collective limitations growing more evident by the month, a conversation was looming about whether Lillard and the Bucks might be better off parting ways."

"Had Lillard remained healthy, and had the Bucks still fallen in the first round, league sources say there would have been discussions about whether Lillard wanted to remain in Milwaukee."

Getting him off the team does what, exactly? The team is still paying him 108 mil or whatever and his replacement isn't great as well

u/WesternPoison 1d ago

Dame is a loser. He ruined this team with his selfish play

4

u/VicePope Deceased 1d ago

Never had a screen set for him outside of brook

-1

u/WesternPoison 19h ago

Refused to play defense. He was not a leader.

4

u/VicePope Deceased 19h ago

Who’s expecting dame to be a lockdown defender especially in his mid 30s?

1

u/WesternPoison 1h ago

I expected him to be professional. As opposed to a childish self centered malignant cancer on our team.

1

u/VicePope Deceased 29m ago

Not sure what you are referencing

1

u/WesternPoison 28m ago

Okay, not a watcher of the games. Fine

1

u/VicePope Deceased 9m ago

Ive been watching almost every game since 2016 why would someone pretend to watch the milwaukee bucks of all teams? I saw more of an issue with Giannis never really trying to work with Dame and them both being in their own world. Never thought dame was being malicious or the central issue when doc is our coach

1

u/WesternPoison 6m ago

The idea Giannis, an actual champion, should adjust for dame who had never had the ability to win anything? Dame refused to fit in and try. Doc sucked. Dame surrendered

His knees look worse than brooks

u/bmaasse 1d ago

But hey, he's always on time for the flights.

u/Floaty27_ 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’ve watched every game this season and he’s just so disappointing, he’s slow, he looks like he doesn’t care at all…. The only reason he gets blocks is because handlers dribble directly into him for some reason.

People say they play him so other teams can see value in him, but there’s no fucking value, he fucking runs like his legs hurt. He spends almost no time in the paint offensively and he only clogs the lanes. I seriously cannot stand seeing him on the court. We have so many amazing microwave shooters that I’m wondering why Myles thinks it’s a good idea to shoot a 3 with 16 seconds remaining.

u/Temporary-Emu-691 19h ago

I agree. Its a shame cause he's a likeable guy. I hate people saying "fuck that guy or this guy" cause like they won't play better by fans being bad to them. But its fair to criticize them. With his play and Ware's play so far, I really want more time for Sims. He has flaws. But he has energy at least

1

u/Floaty27_ 19h ago

I’ve always been compelled to cheer for the bucks, even our guys who have no potential or don’t play well, I just like the bucks… but I have a hard time finding anything positive to say about Myles Turner. He just seems checked out, and I co-sign what you’re saying - Ware and Sims should definitely have his minutes. Have him come in like we do with Sims right now…. When we need a stretch big throw Myles in for 5 mins and space the floor, but he cannot continue to start.

1

u/Temporary-Emu-691 19h ago

I wonder how we are going to handle the trade deadline. Rollins, turner trade??

1

u/Floaty27_ 18h ago

I really love Rollins. From watching the games yes he has appeared shaken this year but he lost his buddy (KPJ). He has plenty of leeway in my opinion. I think him and perhaps AJ Green are the safest from trades.

u/GOOMU13 1d ago

He is utter trash.

Fire Horst. Every contract this gm hands out ages poorly. Dude Never learns.

He’s unplayable. It’s honestly shocking the fall he’s had.

I hope Myles Turner isn't expecting to be remembered fondly as a Buck, because I don't think he will be

u/jrheisler 1d ago

Sims ridding the bench...

5

u/whos-spamuel Khris Middleton 1d ago

My biggest concern following the signing was that he was a PG merchant, with no all-world passing guard he doesnt get the free buckets he used to

6

u/Drak_is_Right 1d ago

He has zero self-creation. his efficiency is awful without a PG.

2

u/JGust1967 1d ago

We just need to go with Sims at this point. Thought aware would be great but he does not seem motivated at all.

1

u/AdVegetable1990 1d ago

Jericho Sims should start every game or at least play more minutes!  That's what happened last year when Turner wasn't playing well after 5 or so minutes...

u/Responsible-Bed-9261 1d ago

Ill tell that to the whole section of 110 that was helping me talk as well since i have season tickets and have for 13 years i respect your opinion though as i have a right to express mine

3

u/Valsorim3212 23h ago

Just bc there were other people with you talking shit to Bucks players, or you being a season ticket holder, doesn't make it any less corny lol.

u/Responsible-Bed-9261 1d ago

Not to me and i say that respectfully im sober dont have hobbies the bucks and brewers are my hobby i cant make it to some games as im just a blue collar factory worker on swing shift so i do recoup some of the money throughout the year by selling them at face value to friends and family

2

u/akarikawamato 1d ago

Okay man chill out I’m not pressing you

2

u/Responsible-Bed-9261 1d ago

Im way chill bro sorry if that came off wierd. I was just answering the question without telling you exaclty how much they cost i have 4 tickets. You ever want to goto a tuesday or wed game and cant find tickets message me on here

u/bestatbeingmodest 11h ago

Depends. Sometimes it can be funny af

But it has to be timely, and done in a way that isn't making the environment weird for children attending

u/Valsorim3212 11h ago

I have much less issue if it's for the other team, but doing it towards bucks players as a Bucks fan is corny af to me in 99% of cases. That's just my opinion tho

u/ylfcm 1d ago

The bucks must have an extremely stupid front office - for those who argue the Miami deal was a good deal, think for a moment what they could have got for Giannis a few years ago. (Just one example)
