  5. Does anyone know what Camille says at the beginning of the LockDown Bucks podcast? I can't seem to make it out. She says something like Rafigydoo? or Whooptidoo?

  7. I wonder if the Bucks players know that when they get a lead on the opposing teams..that the game is not over? 🤔 Gotta continue to score the ball to maintain and possibly grow the lead ..🤷‍♂️

  8. For the 3rd straight game we almost lost because of horrible refreeing on the last play of the game. With 2 seconds to go, they inbounded, their guy clearly pushes Giannis in the back and breaks free towards the basket. He was wide open, but luckily fumbles the ball. It was such an obvious push.

  9. Camille, Giannis was the main ball handler before Dame. Just coz Doc Rivers doesn't want him to handle the balll doesn't mean he cant. Dame is an average point guard. Why Doc Rivers removes the ball from Giannis and give it to dudes like Delon while Giannis is on the floor? Bc he's Doc Rivers. I think its very disrespectful. Should Dame even be the main ball handler on the Bucks? NO. And honestly speaking Dame is one of the main reasons why the Bucks are struggling offensively. Hes objectively been terrible shooting the ball. I think Dame Time is getting exposed.

    Dame struggles brining up the ball against bigger defenders that's why Giannis had to do it against the Celtics. People can deny this all they want but Giannis is a better player maker than Dame.

  10. Hey Justin, if you guys want Giannis to play that much defense then you Bucks need to start marketing Giannis more . Y'all need to promote Giannis for DPOY more. Hes playing an elite defense and he's not being rewarded. WHY NOT? It's unfair to Giannis. Giannis can't be asked to do this, this and that without be recognized. I want you guys to have the courage and make a video about Giannis being a DPOY candidate. You guys can't be using people. And remember Giannis is underpaid compared to dudes like Tatum, Jaylen Brown…

    You guys ask Giannis to do so much but y'all almost never promote him. That's using people. Besides I don't trust Dame being my offense. How can you trust a guy who shoots the Bucks outta games to be the offense? Dame, Giannis, Khris, Brook, Bobby… everyone needs to play defense.

  12. my lord these two! first they said middleton should never come off the bench.. then go on to say giannis should be 3rd choice.. wish kane was back. these two are the equivelant of listening to two bums at a sports bar .

  14. Giannis was really focused on defense the past 5 games finally, because he is a beast physically, he is not ball watching anymore, I missed this Giannis, as he said, vintage. Hopefully he can still go for DPOY.
