    Dame doesn't play a lick of defense. Fvv or Jalen better blow up

    Pretend Roy Batty (the late Rutger Hauer) represents the Bucks.

    Unfortunately he is quite literally unstoppable when he has that rhythm throwing up threes 6 ft behind the three point line. If he gets to that level tonight ts a loss.

    The Bucks overall defense is worse than last year and Dame has a lot to do with that. Defending the point position is important and he is a huge downgrade from Jrue Holiday.

    Won't be watching this game as the Texans are playing. Hopefully they actually put up a fight tonight for those that are watching the Rockets

    We're missing 23pts a night without Villain and Tari. And there is no way to make up for those points since Tate is giving you zero and the rooks are just not ready against good competition. That's just on offense.

    Cam seems like he will be a good shooter given extended minutes. He usually can come in cold and make 2-3 threes in like a5 minutes.

    He could be part of a potential 5 man out bench line up with Jalen leading it with Jabari. Could really space the floor. Could be a really good offensive spark plug if the offense is stagnating with the regular line up.

    • Bucks is not terribly great at switch defense, so when teams get them in a scramble, specific people can be attacked.
    • Bucks also not great at transition defense; which teams like the Pacers exploited. Normally I don't push for Rockets to overdo fast breaks, but we may need it here.
    • In the recent Pacers win over the bucks, they did double Giannis, (which worked), Dame also didn't hit his shots. Not sure if we should or shouldn't since Dame has historically shot well here.
    • In last meeting at MIL, Dame got everyone else going, picked his spot and picked us apart.
    • Kris is still under minutes restriction, in the Spurs game he played only in the first half.
    • Take the game ball at end of regulation.
