Chuck is exactly correct. People have this concept that there is a magic switch. There’s no magic switch if you practice something or play incorrectly over and over again you’re not going to all the sudden get better.

[@qt3dot146]

What? How difficult was it to "predict" that a team at the end of a road trip, who had to totally exhaust themselves to win a game the night prior, to lose by 10 points to a premium team who is VASTLY BIGGER, PLAYING AT HOME, WHO ALSO DID NOT PLAY THE NIGHT PRIOR? That's like saying that the sun is hot or that gravity is real. That wasn't an amazing prediction. That was just stating THE OBVIOUS. Now if Shaq would have predicted that the CELTICS, at the end of a road trip, who had exhausted themselves in the game the night prior, playing a premium team, WHO IS VASTLY BIGGER, on the road, would win by 10 points, and then they did, THAT would have been an insightful comment by Shaq. It's not amazing that Shaq noted THE OBVIOUS, it's amazing that all of you are so clueless as to not understand the obvious. A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE REGULAR SEASON LOSSES BY PREMIUM TEAMS COME ON THE LAST GAME OF ROAD TRIPS. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE 82 GAME SCHEDULE. It's just incredible how all of you make all the comments and "attempt" to analyze the game, and yet you don't understand even the most basic characteristics of the league of which you "follow".

As a Heat fan the thing Shaq is talking about is the reason why we’ve beaten them twice in the last 3 playoff series against each other, 2021 the Bucks were scary because they played hard, and played great defense 24/7 365, not because they “turned it on and got a stop”. Chuck is bang on about developing bad habits just because you’re in a good place in January.

[@cedricasdfghjkl9151]

Exactly! Chuck is completely right. Even if Miami for example has bad nights, you can guarantee, that it's not because of bad habits, it's just an off night. They build these habits in Practice. I pick Miami at the moment to win it all, even though they're a 7 seed right now. You also saw with the Celtics tonight, they GAVE UP. Miami NEVER gives up. That's why they CONSISTENTLY BEAT more talented teams than themselves. They have these habits that get them ahead when the going gets tough. Boston, if Miami is healthy, is not beating Miami. Miami has missed Jimmy Butler in so many games already this year, Tyler Herro was missing many times as well. We haven't seen them playing at their full potential, and every night they're a force to be reckoned with, with this inconsistent lineup because of injuries and so on. 100% agree with Chuck and you.

[@JM-nu2jg]

Bucks the last 2 seasons were in dire need of offense since Middleton was on a sharp decline and Holiday as also regressing on the offensive side at least. They got their offensive answer with Dame (even with poor percentages, Dame is putting up the numbers) but it's quite clear that Dame is an average defender, maybe even leaning towards being a poor defender. They also traded away Grayson Allen, a key 2-way role player that is honestly playing some nice ball in Arizona this season. Giannis and Dame complement each other well, but the Bucks lack so much depth especially on the defensive side of the ball that they are essentially, as strong as the Bucks team last season, just with a different problem: defense. Bucks need to be active in the trade market and be on the lookout for shopping Middleton and maybe even Lopez for some depth. They don't need anymore firepower on offense, what they need are two-way role players who can do their job right. Covington, Hart, Harrison Barnes, Derrick White type of players.

Jrue Holiday was the difference in MIL winning a championship, he did all the little things. They traded him for the shiny flashy toy Dame Lillard. Dame doesn’t play any defense, no surprise they suck defensively. Chuck is right.

[@phamawa]

This is overblown, they can still be a good defensive team without him. Loved Jrue but in clutch time you can't go to him, but you can with Dame. When you have the chance to get a guy like Dame, you get him. You can turnaround and get 2 other guys to make up for Jrue's absence. If anything, this is on MIL hiring an inexperienced coach.

[@JM-nu2jg]

They won a ring because Middleton was still an allstar level offensive player that season. They didn't lack any offensive firepower. Idk if you've been watching them the past 2 seasons, but they had early exits in the playoffs due to a severe lack of offense especially on crunch time. Giannis got double teamed on every drive he had versus the Heat and their guys couldn't knock down open shots whenever he passed to them Holiday was never a gifted scorer, and Middleton had a Klay Thompson-esque regression on offense due to all the injuries. They needed firepower on offense because if they didn't trade for Dame this season, the downward trajectory of their team would've just continued.

[@d1r3wolf8]

As a celtics fan, I agree with chuck. The Js take a lot of awful shots and during the playoffs when defense are more set, you just can't trust them to be instant buckets. So glad we got Jrue this year

[@theceo4744]

I think they made a mistake trading Jrue for Dame and other pieces. Jrue Defense is one of the best in the NBA. It worked for a team like bucks. Jrue defense is Dame offense in a lower sense but still elite. Bucks truly did not need more offense

[@MIGGYME1]

Mane they got beat in 5 in the first round against the heat. If they had dame last year no was they lose that series. Defense is great but if u can score points it doesnt matter if u hold the other team to 80 points

[@CCEkeke]

The problem was that with Middleton's injury issues, the team had no reliable second scoring option. So that put all the pressure on Giannis every game to show up or else the team loses to the better teams. I personally would've traded Middleton instead of Holiday for some younger two-way players who can get buckets when asked. Dame has been playing like crap for several games and can't defend.

[@vlada]

They got embarassed last year and felt they needed to do something. No one was trading a star for Middleton so Jrue was the sacrifice because they are on the clock. Your #2, 3, 4 players are 32-33 to 35-36yrs old. That's an old team and Iannis will once again do his thing soon enough. This trade is also all on him. He passively aggresively threathened the team again and they responded with the only tradeable player. There is a two year window at most now and he'll finally ask out. This was an almost hail Mary.

And this is the problem you also have, when you took out the zone, basketball use to be about strategy 💯😒 The NBA is just not defensively sound like it once was too many divas in the NBA. But that's what happens when you give somebody their paycheck before they do their actual job if you can understand that. 💯💯

[@alvinmutuma5033]

and officiating too,, nowadays every defensive attempt ends up hurting you with calls, only defensive strategy working nowadays is taking charges

[@leonardoyi3183]

I agree with barkley on most of the things he said on this video. But i agree with shaq that at this point in the season they shouldn't panic. They are playing overall very good and they have a lot of time to get better on those things they aren't doing well.

[@oldheadradio7290]

@@leonardoyi3183 I understand that they shouldn't panic, but my thing is don't go out there and play, like 8th graders. This is professional basketball that you get paid millions of dollars, but see, that's part of the problem, if not the problem, they get paid so much money, they don't give a damn about how they play. That's just my opinion, though, I'm with you on not panicking, but to get blew out by, for example, the Washington Wizards, just go out there and just throw anything up, that's not cool people pay their hard, earned money to see good basketball, not somebody that's just lazy and don't feel like playing. 💯

[@pineapplegamer6986]

Chuck has a solid point. I know this quote is kind of over used but Shannon sharpe said “don’t accept habits in a win that you wouldn’t if you lost.” The bucks are playing sloppy even if they win so they gotta get better in all aspects

[@hightolerance8728]

So many teams in the East are bunching up on the ladder below Celtics, Bucks and 76ers that there is definitely going to be movement up and down. The top 2 are ok for a bit and I am sure the Bucks will stop the rot as they have acknowledged the problems, their defence needs to show up and be tougher before they face the Celtics in the playoffs. 76ers and Bucks are both 5Win-5Loss in their last 10 games, so are both in a bit of a rough patch and both need to pick it up soon. Pistons fans are the ones I feel sorry for, season ticket holders should be getting their yards mowed by the whole team just to make it up to them.

[@hdttyson]

The Bucks need to make a trade to acquire wing defenders for their defense to show up. Acknowledgement to the problem is a good step but won't fix the personnel issue.

[@2003jason]

I like how Kenny brought up the Bulls winning 72 games and didn’t mention the Warriors that won 73 games. We all know which team was the best that would be Jordan and the Bulls.

[@bcs1793]

What I like about this type of discussion is that while Shaq depends on the “I have rings” argument too often, he has inside knowledge of the “emotional” aspects of the game. He has been the best player in the world, has been at the center of a team that broke down because of egos, and has won a championship by learning to let go of the driver’s seat. And we just saw that Shaq was indeed right - when the bucks want to, they can humiliate the team with the best record in the league

[@ItsGamingFancy]

But Charles' point is that anything can happen in one game but your bad habits are not going to go away that easily. Their bad defense is going to cost them more times than not and in a 7 game series they wouldn't be able to keep up with teams like the Celtics.

I agree with Shaq and as a 9er fan, it was good for the 9ers to get somewhat embarrassed by the Ravens because they were demolishing really good teams. A wake up call, teams will be giving their best especially when it is 1 and done. The Eagles were not playing as well as last year.

This was the 5th game in 7 nights for the celts, second night of a back to back with the first game having gone into OT. Milwaukee on the other hand was coming off 2 straight bad losses and you knew they were going to come out with a sense of urgency tonight. Celts looked like they were stuck in sand from the jump and seemingly mailed it in once the lead got close to 20. Ultimately I don’t think the celts are gonna lose sleep over this game in the slightest. Not an excuse to be losing by 40, but this game meant wayyy more to the bucks.

It is possible though for your team to win games but play bad. Nobody sees the difference cause you are winning, but when you lose it begins to show. You can’t get away with playing bad and winning best thing to do is pick up form
