Does winning the NBA Cup help or hinder this Bucks team moving forward? ⬇⬇
@basanova228 сағат бұрын
I think winning games against good teams, NBA Cup or not, is always a good thing. Lakers may have had a bit of a slide after their Cup win, but they're just one team. One team doesn't make it a trend. That may have just had something to do with the Lakers as a team.

You can tell this was something they wanted to win to gain confidence but not their end goal hence why they passed on spraying or drinking champaigne that was set up for them after the game. I think they have the right mindset and they are on the right path.

Here is my analysis: - Giannis passing is making his teammates better - The Bucks have a much improved defense which will keep getting better - Giannis finally has a solid squad of people around him that can make the 3 on a consistent basis. Dame, Dairy Bird, TP, Lopez, Gary Trent, Bobby P. - Giannis is reading the game better (improved basketball iq), and has finally realized to stop shooting 3's. He now has added a pretty good mid range to his arsenal - Giannis at this point is pretty unstoppable and is bullying defenses all across the league -Dame and Giannis are now finally on the same page. And Dame is now comfortable playing in his role -Ajax is an elite defender. Dairy bird is a good defender that can hold his own too - Dairy Bird might be one of the best pure shooters that this league has ever seen! And this is a guy that went undrafted - Bucks team chemistry is at an all time high - Giannis defense this year is giving me defensive player of the year vibes from a few years back - If Bucks keep playing like this, they will certainly make it to the Eastern Conference Finals and beyond..

Excellent video!! They are trying to steal the MVP from Giannis again but he's clearly the MVP and the best player in the world.He has more mid range jumpers in 20 games,than he had in a full season! That's Kevin Durant numbers! He manages to make huge improvements adding to his game,each and every year!! That's unbelievable and probably unheard of. Can't remember a guy having such an improved career. He's up there with Karim Abdul Jabaar and Wilt Chamberlain already!!

All NBA narratives are big teams and West side based. Any superstar in the West has all the spotlights on him. It's infuriating the lengths the media will go to rob him of another MVP. They even gave that fraud Embiid an MVP instead of his third. Now it's all about Jokic. Who is more useful as a road cone than a defender. People tend to forget the amount of energy required to be a good defender. And even with this metric fulfilled, Giannis manages to be the first scorer with extraordinary percentages. Let's watch the goalposts being moved again so they can find another reason not to give him his third MVP.

@@CindiCindi15 Doc Rivers has worked out a new strategy with Giannis this season that Giannis has never done before but works beautifully. With 10 minutes left in the 4th Quarter Doc will sit Giannis for rest until there is around 4 minutes left in the game. When Doc puts Giannis back in the game with 4 minutes left Giannis is able to go 100% of his potential on defense while everyone else is tired. This season during the final 4 minutes of every game Giannis is an absolute terror on defense. The Giannis you see during the first 3 quarters is a completely different player. He uses all his energy for offense and just kind of coasts on defense. This is how Giannis is averaging a career high 33pts/game because he's not burning himself out ont he defensive end for the first 3 quarters. Doc Rivers really deserves a ton of credit for the way he's coached this season. He has so many haters it's insane but he really has done an amazing job fixing this franchise which has been a disaster ever since Jrue Holiday was traded until 16 games ago. Since then Bucks are 13-3.

Bucks fans always complain about Brook Lopez but if you look at the box scores almost always Brook has a really good positive rating even if he doesn't have many points, if they don't fall victim to a hot 3pt shooting team, Brook is a PROBLEM in the paint, especially with Giannis lurking in help.
@hypebeast_232111 сағат бұрын
You’re looking at the box score, if you watch the games you see how terrible brook looks, he can’t hedge up so he drops and most guards punish him, he hasn’t been super consistent from 3, and he can’t grab rebounds. Brooks still decent it’s just he’s too old now, he can’t play more than 25 minutes and if a team has a big that can somewhat shoot Brook gets eliminated.

@@matthewlorfeld5412 Brook Lopez has always had his haters among the fan base. They are dumb AF. You can count the number of Stretch Bigs that contend for DPOTY on 2 fingers. Brook and JJJ. I suspect one day Wemby will join that group and but he's only shooting 33% from 3pt so not yet. Brook Lopez also pumps up Giannis and Bobby Portis' rebound numbers. Brook rarely goes for the rebound he instead uses his wide frame to box out so they can get a clean rebound. When Bobby Portis started playing with Brook his rebounds per game shot up an extra 3 rebounds per game.
