Where have the Bucks struggled most these first 10 games and how can they improve?

The Milwaukee Bucks, a team with championship dreams, have stumbled out of the gate with a surprising 2-8 start. Despite high expectations, their offense ranks just 19th, and their defense is allowing opponents too much freedom at the rim and from the corners. With star player Damian Lillard sidelined due to a concussion, the Bucks face lineup challenges, offering younger talents like Ryan Rollins a chance to shine. Khris Middleton’s absence is felt deeply, as his return could be pivotal in revitalizing the team’s offensive strategy and leadership.

Explore how the Bucks plan to capitalize on an upcoming favorable schedule against weaker opponents. Will they seize this opportunity to climb back into contention? Tune in for an engaging discussion on the Bucks’ path forward and the potential impact of key player returns

  2. I know I'm in the minority of Bucks fans, but I just don't feel the start of this season has been as bad as the record shows. Bottom line is you NEED Khris to play. He's not the savior, but he adds so much of what the Bucks are missing….scoring, wing depth, ballhandling, iso scoring, floor spacing…etc. If you take into account that you have not received anything from Gary Trent, its not surprising the record is what it is. They will bounce back in this next 10-12 game stretch.

  5. Love dame but the defensive struggles were here the entire time in portland also. Ball dominate and not good on D are traits that will never leave him.

  9. Please for the love of God can we eat this mistake and trade Damian Lillard this off season? I SEE that the two man game is improving. I SEE that Damian has been marginally more reliable this season (only 3 offensive stinkers 10 games in…woohoo!)
    But let's be honest wth ourselves: we need to trade this man as soon as humanly possible. He's an absolute toxin on this team. I TRIED REALLY HARD TO SUPPORT HIM THIS SEASON. But the more I think about this, the clearer the crux becomes.
    1. Damian is slow and de-energizes the team
    2. Damian is low-effort
    3. Damian is picky and passes up on shots he should take at the detriment of the team
    4. Damian is allergic to passing to Giannis when he is the primary ball handler
    5. Damian literally becomes invisible unless he is on-ball
    6. Damian is targeted mercilessly on defense.
    7. Damian looks genuinely completely lost, confused, uninterested and disengaged UNLESS he is actively holding the ball.
    8. Damian makes bad passes to invisible teammates
    9. Damian can't sustain effort for 48 minutes
    10. Damian has a bland and apathetic personality and has NO PRIDE for the Milwaukee Bucks and no investment whatsoever in the success of the team.

    Get Damian out of here.

  13. A lot of this is on Doc. He doesn't have to brain power to come up with anything but rudimentary offensive principles.
    Running a dribble hand off centric offense isn't gonna work if the guys coming off the handoff don't want to dribble the ball. Why not try Golden State's post split action? Have guys cut and shoot coming off of pin down screens off the ball so they don't have to dribble. Try to have Giannis make those passes out of the post. Do things besides dribble hand off pick n rolls, isos, and post ups.

  17. Its not all on Dame. Giannis is a ball hog, Lopez has gotten slower and forgets to box out, no one is keeping Portis in check, Middleton was on his last leg 2 years ago… the mistake they made was holding on to Middleton and Lopez instead of looking for new younger talent.

  19. As a Jrue Holiday fan this is one of my highlights clicking on this channels videos just to see the look of there unsatisfied faces after a loss.😂 It just doesn’t get old.

  21. it should be 7-3
    Can't believe we lost to
    Brooklyn and Chicago.. the two Cavs games and the last with Boston if we know how to protect our lead..

  23. I really thought Dame was going to come out on fire the way he was saying this year we've going to get a better version of him cause he trained harder this summer he's in good shape and I only seen a couple of good games he's had
