  1. We need to make a meaningful trade. Maybe trade brook, pat and bobby to toronto for Jakob poetl and bruce brown. Also doc Rivers has to go. Losing this many games is ridiculous

  2. He has no playmaking ability to run the offense,can't defend and now as a closer he struggle 1/8 from deep, 27% fg is 💩💩 , giannis is holding this team alone

    Ir only your shot went in as much as you take care of your lips Milwaukee woulb be sitting on the top right now

  3. The solution to Bucks problem is instead starting out strong in the first half of the quarter, they need to do that in the second half in every game because they started good but finish poorly.

  4. Win or loss, this was a great game! This is the Bucks team we expect to see. Boston has a tight net team because the players have learned how to work with each other and have been together for a while. We have some new players in the rotation, which always makes it difficult to adjust. The bucks need to settle down, stop trading and stop, trying to look for some special player on some other team that will make them great. We have all the tools in the tool kit. We just need to harmonize.

  5. Dame, you’re a great shooter, but this isn’t Portland. You need to do a few more things to fit in with the team. You must learn to move without the ball, play basic defense, and sometimes be the one to set screens instead of always expecting others to do it. You also need to be the general on the floor and help organize the team. Do these things, and we’ll be good. But if you’re expecting to just take the ball and shoot, that’s not going to cut it. Watch some tapes of the Stockton and Malone duo to understand what you need to do, especially as the 'Stockton' role

  6. Solutions to the Bucks problems as I see it: 
    #1-Start the game with a younger, more energetic roster: Jackson/G, Lillard/G, Robbins/C, Antetokounmpo/SF, Livingston/PF. Off the bench: Green/SG, Rollins/PG-SF, Lopez/C, Portis/PF, Rotate Tyler Smith & Robbins in at SF. TRADE BAIT: Beauchamp, Connaughton, Portis. Bucks are too Guard heavy. Trade for a Forward who can rebound and play defense. 
    #2: PASS THE BALL !! They don’t move the ball quickly around anymore. Big mistake. 
    #3- CRASH THE BOARDS, especially on OFFENSE!! Watch how many times the spread the floor and NO ONE IS UNDER THE BASKET. 
    #4: Drive to the basket. Too many shots from WAY DOWNTOWN. Lillard needs to drive and pass more. Guards need to drive more and PASS THE BALL, it’s called “Assists” 
    #5: Doc, we love ya, but the clock is ticking. You know it, we know it. If you don’t change it up: 

    #6: Interim Head Coach: Rajon Rondo, Joe Prundy…. BUT Vassilis Spanoulis is my first choice. That’s a daring move, but he has head coach experience, communicates what he wants, is loved and respected by his players and fellow coaches. PS: It was a daring move when the Green Bay Packers hired Vince Lombardi, and Marquette University hired Al McGuire. Check out their W-L records.

    "“To play against him [Spanoulis], and then understand that as a coach, he has the same attention to details…his name is "Kill Bill" for a reason, and he has the same mentality as a coach. He holds everybody accountable, he holds himself accountable. The amount of information you can get from him, from just a two-minute conversation, it’s unbelievable. I’ve never seen it before. He can be walking next to you, and in those two minutes, you're getting so much energy, and so much knowledge, in two minutes.”
    — Jermaine Love, on Vassilis Spanoulis' basketball knowledge and coaching ability.

    "“Certainly, coach [Dimitris] Itoudis is an excellent coach, and the collaboration we had was tremendous. I wish I could have been at the Worlds [2019 FIBA World Cup] with him, because he was a terrific coach. But Spanoulis coming to the national team, someone who has won with the national team, and all of the players respect him – is something different. I don't believe that any player on the national team didn't have him as a role model.” “I think this is what the national team needs. A person with many unbelievable moments for Greek basketball, from playing for the national team, to Panathinaikos and Olympiacos. He has tremendous experience as a player. As a coach, over the last two years, he showed what he can do.”
    — Giannis Antetokounmpo, on Vassilis Spanoulis coaching the Greek NT.
    Under his leadership, the national team qualified for the 2024 Olympic Games, where they reached the quarterfinals.

    "There are many moments, but certainly the first year we were in Maroussi, he showed that he can lead any basketball team…The least that could have been done was to retire his jersey. Kudos to the people who realized that this had to be done, for a player who started modestly, far from the center of basketball, and began to compete with the best in the world, and to make us rejoice with his successes. He never gave up. He never stopped dreaming and believing, and that was his biggest motivation. Every day that he was on the court, he gave his best, and he wanted to make his goals come true…These players [current players] need to understand that talent is not enough, and that you must understand the game, but also work hard, because without hard work, you will not achieve even 1/10 of what Vassilis did.”
    — Panagiotis Giannakis, on Vassilis Spanoulis' European basketball playing career. “

    “…I know that from 2006 [FIBA World Cup]. That's a lesson we [Team USA] learned that the Greek team taught us, how to play internationally.”
    — Mike Krzyzewski, on Team USA's loss to Vassilis Spanoulis and the Greek NT, at the 2006 FIBA World Cup. "

  7. There is something going on behind the court . It’s obvious , PPLE may not feel great, be off, or dislike the coach , or players . We will find out sooner than later . Stay strong Dame ❤❤❤❤ Giannis, tell JB to calm the hell down . 😮😮

  8. Its been 10 games and we keep on hearing "we need to figure _ out." Like this is bad. Having terrible floor spacing in the final minutes is something that an NBA team should have figured out by now
