Glad to hear the respect for Clyde the Glide. He struggled to make his mark as a champion for a lot of the same reasons Dame has. And both were extremely loyal to the small market Blazers. Here's hoping for a bright future for Dame time, who alongside Drexler, is among the best to ever lace em up.

The Bucks will miss Holidays defense, one of the better perimeter defenders in the NBA. However they needed that scoring punch and Lillard will solve that. The success lies with health for Middleton because he will take pressure from the two superstars.

[@stephenweiss6001]

Yep. You get it. Funny thing about Middleton is that while he has been very inconsistent in the regular season, he has cooked more often than not in the playoffs the past four years, whereas Jrue tended to fade offensively in the playoffs. Middleton was never the reason they fell short in the playoffs. The key is if Middleton is fully healthy in the playoffs (along with Giannis and Dame). If he is, I just don't see how you beat the Bucks in a best of 7 series. I mean, how do you? You commit the wall inside against Giannis, you cannot defend both Dame and Midd outside. Can't be done.

[@GrimTex1andOnly]

@@stephenweiss6001 I agree if they are healthy how do you stop those 3 offensively along with Lopez, Portis and Crowder. If Connaghton can hit a few shots they are scary. The only problem last year was health.

[@mainemanx2]

i agree with Shaq and Charles. The Bucks play this season if they want to succeed should be like Dwayne and Shaq; feed off of each other. Giannis doesn't need to score on every play and neither does Dame, they can always go back and forth. Plus the rest of the squad. I'm a Warriors fan but I also want the Bucks, most especially Dame, to succeed
