Yeah it went from Mid to Terrible , and it’s gonna be an issue when you play teams that have Bigs that can take Lopez and Giannis from the rim

@@tyriantaylor711 go ahead I wanna see Al horford and tingus pingus win by hitting 3’s

@@gunny-lneck4352 Both shot around 40 percent last year , and you Know the reason why the last few times they played Boston blown out the Bucks and the only reason they won one last year was cause the Celtics didn’t have their stars players and almost beat y’all

Or that he saw Paul Pierce and Ray Allen win a championship. That's some pretty good mental gymnastics.

@@tyriantaylor711 bucks went to 7 without khris, now they got dame, and y’all lost everyone to defend giannis, it’s over

Bill is still drunk 🥴 from Dame being traded to the Bucks.😂

Because they are true , just like a Celtics fan I can admit that have injuries concern just like a lot of teams , and depth questions, but you Bucks fans be so in denial and delusional

His bias for Boston is hilarious

@@Redclxxd are you not bias ? every fan is bias ?

@@tyriantaylor711Everybody on the Bucks is healthy what injury concerns?

@@davofidie6897 of course but I’m just a fan. Bill is an analyst with a huge platform with everything on record. You’d think he’d be a lil more objective that’s all

If 33 years old dame doesn't make them better it can be said that he is overrated now. It can't take away from his entire career.

Fit is king. The better player doesn’t always make the team better. Though I don’t think Jrue was all that much of a better fit either tbh. He was absolutely awful in the postseason every year.

I think it’s a question of regular vs post season. I think post season he’s definitely making the team better, but the question is whether he makes them a better regular season team with Dame’s injuries and defense. Dame is there to space the floor in the playoffs so they can’t build a wall against Giannis, so he’ll do that, but I think the regular season questions are fair.

Long as they stay relatively healthy I feel like Dame should make them way better even if their perimeter D takes a hit the offense should be lethal with Dame and Giannis plus Middleton and Brook can space the floor as a threat from 3 too so that gives Giannis a crazy amount of room to work inside with Dames gravity added and his speed I can't wait to see how their offense looks in the regular season.

Based on what we seen in the preseason, Boston would cook the Bucks defense

Except he was your Second Option , he is the Celtics at best 3rd option but probably be the 4th/5th cause of Porzingis and White on some nights, they really don’t need scoring , they need playmaking and defense and score when open

@@tyriantaylor711 maybe you didnt understand..if he could hit open shots hed be on bucks. Teams sag off him on celtics

@@tyriantaylor711only in 2022 when khris was injured,shat the bed offensively 3 straight years.

@@xavierb9061 Teams weren’t sagging off him like you make it out to be, you Bucks fans are doing whatever it takes to trash Holiday when he was a big reason why yall won the chip , He shot bad , put teams guarded him , Jrue is not Giannis or Ben Simmons and I trust Jrue to hit more shots than Marcus Smart

Maybe Giannis hit his Free throws , Jrue would still be there

That should have been obvious to everyone with the Redraftables series.

Yea ryans sick

And he gets annoyed with House

I agree. I think it depends on how well they can rebound.

I really like the off-season moves. Brown and Toppin as threats in transition is a great fit alongside Halliburton.

Good distinction to make. I figured there had to be more to that quotation.

I think a good portion of Jrues playoff issues tho is him being the 2nd option on a team and having a lot of offensive burden whereas now in Boston he's like the 4th option and he isn't going to be asked to do as much as he was in Milwaukee imo

@@ambulabula1908 his guy consistently was able to help off of him because he was missing open shots. It doesn’t matter what option you are if your man doesn’t have to guard you.

@@James58Rams teams were guarding him he just had to take a lot of contested shot and he ain't a contested shotmaker in Boston he not gonna have to take a lot of contested shot that court gonna be more open for him

@@ambulabula1908 that’s not what happened against Miami in the playoffs. His guy sagged off him and set the wall for Giannis. They were comfortable letting him shoot.

Idk dog, I doubt anyone thought he would have ANY other take about Milwaukee besides "oh, b-but the perimeter defense!"

@@felipecouto1102 i guess my point would be that he can't say that because he's a Celtic fan but thats his honest opinion. The Bucks can out score most of the league but do you think they will prioritize that in quest of a top seed? I don't. They are on the older side and will prioritize peaking at the end of the season. This is a regular season win prediction show and thats not a hater take. Its reasonable. He also thinks Giannis will have his best year and the Bucks are legit title contenders.

@@felipecouto1102 your opinion is as good as mine though. I am not as emotional about it as it may seem. Peace

@@knowsmebyname You got up in your feelings to the point you thought my answer was emotional? Really? He also didn't think the Cavs would prioritize the regular season, and yet he thought 53 was low.

@@felipecouto1102 no no of course not. I thought my answer was to emotional. I shouldnt be defending Simmons so much. There are many "Bill is a homer" comments though and i just don't see it. Peace

I like Detroit and the over. The Pistons finished real strong year before last. Good defense and a tough tough out (they gave my Celtics fits down the stretch). Then they went in for Wemby last year. They have good young players and they will have a good year.

@@knowsmebyname Detroit and charlotte are not winning more than 20 games

*He won’t miss a shot down in the stretch in the first round of the playoffs Dame is a mediocre postseason player outside of the 1st round. His only second round win which was against the Nuggets was won due to CJ going on a crazy heater in game 7 and salvaging the absolute stinker that Dame dropped. His only WCF was pure underperformance as he got thoroughly outplayed by Steph throughout the series against a KD-less, no depth Warriors. No shame in being outplayed by Steph but the Blazers had 15+ point leads in all the games and completely blew all of them down the stretch for a sweep. Dame is a vastly overstated great playoff performer outside the first round.

? Dame has been amazing in the regular season especially in 2023 and 2020 when he dropped a bunch of 50/60/70 pieces.

Lol Warriors fan with a hate boner for Dame. Curry has been very mid in the playoffs the last two years. 2022 - Ja was much better in 2nd round, very unimpressive series with Poole and Klay outplaying him in games. Trash in game 5 weak showing for a WCF MVP, trash in game 4 Finals trash in game 5 shooting 3-16 carried by Wiggins Then 2023, the warriors had a better record without him, since 2020 the Warriors have been a better defense than offense, and in the playoffs the Kings had no playoffs experience and still took them 7 since Curry was inconsistent. The game 7 was overrated since it took 38 shots to make 50 points and a lot of those points were "front running" while up 10+ in the fourth quarter. In the 2nd round he completely folded easily getting outplayed by AD for the series and LeBron was so much in the closeout game 6 that he was better in the series as well despite being 38 on a broken foot. Curry continued his streak of 0-14 in the last 2 possessions of a close game and was trash in the 4th quarter of game 4, cooked by Lonnie. Overall, Dame and Curry are both on the same tier now in 2023 - lower end of the top 10 behind Jokic - BITW by a mile Embiid - won MVP, injured in playoffs KD - 55/40/90 while impacting winning in the regular season (unlike Curry who's team won more without him) Giannis - understandable Luka - better at this point Tatum - consistently 1st team all-NBA, been the best player in 6 of the last 7 series he played and Game 7 vs Sixers was best individual playoff game of century AD - better than Curry in the regular season and clearly outplayed in the playoffs

If he’s healthy……but won’t the grind of having to play hard against young kids with fresh legs who will want to beat you in the regular season simply because they can be too much?

@@ckqlmao I ain’t even gonna respond to how thoroughly cherry-picked a lot of what you said about Steph is and how half the players you listed aren’t better than him. Some of the shit is straight up revisionist and straight up lies. You got an excuse and leniency for every player except for Steph himself. Regardless of what you say, Steph has absolutely nothing to prove and he’s stamped. As far as Dame goes, it’s gut check time. He’s got the pieces now. Time to win something for once. No excuses.

I feel like he's too productive to come off the bench for MIA or LAL, Toronto could use him but I don't see them going very far.

Wrong

@justing4094 one front court injury and theyre much worse than last year. Also, al horford is 37 now...

Celtics won 64 games and the Bucks won 49. Bill was spot on with both.

The Bulls are going to suck and I say this a die hard fan. They didn't improve at all and the rest of the league got better. The team has stayed the same for the last 2 years, so there's really nothing left to say.

They are gonna be bad my friend and I say that as a fellow bulls fan. Almost every other big team took a step up while the bulls didn’t and they were already bad last year

@@Bobbleheads56 not every team took a big step and is going to stay healthy, my point isnt that were contenders, im saying that we got better and healthier too so how are we getting worse but no one else is

we did improve though. improve doesnt mean we can talk to the celtics or bucks but we got better. health wise and we signed better role players. Obi toppin and bruce brown makes the pacers a playoff team but we win 5 less games????? what@@vitocarlucci111

​@@vitocarlucci111why would they suck?

So are your mom’s.

@@MatthewBreck yeh I know she's a broken record like bill 👍

Top 10 Most Predictable Bill Takes and let's make it a draft.

You see the Lakers piece yet? He backs up his takes with solid reasoning. The Bucks are an older team. They may not sell out in the regular season. That’s a reasonable take

You might not like his takes but one thing about people at the ringer is they watch the most games compare to anybody especially compare to espn talking heads and people like skip and stephen a qho watch like 5 games before christmas

Bill was giving his reason why he thought the Bucks wouldn't win 55 games. They won 49 games and got bounced in the first round. He was 100% correct.

'Bad' is an understatement the Cavs got punked got sent home in 5 games by a lower seeded team 😂

First time in the playoffs for this group. Knicks did kick their butt, but if I remember correctly it took Denver getting beat 3 straight playoffs before they learned to win. Cavs best players are all young and improving so this team will get better.@@JohnSmith-fq8kz

"Bad" and "aren't ready to compete for a title yet" aren't the same thing.

While Simmons is underestimating the Bucks a bit I also think those Eric Bledsoe Bucks teams were deeper than this current one this current Bucks team is just more equipped for the playoffs than the one that won 60 games were imo idk if any team gonna win 60+ games this year tho so to say they win like 54-55 wouldn't be that shocking

Fast forward to the Bucks winning only 49 games and Bill was right.

@@daveclark8337 don’t beat me while I’m down Dave Clark.

like you

same for you

Absolutely not, the cavaliers and JB bickerstaff pride themselves as a defense first team (had the number 1 defense last year) so they would not want Jordan Poole for that alone not to mention he's way to inconsistent offensively, they can get more for mitchell if they decide to trade him, i would imagine they try to go for a Mitchell and mikal bridges kinda trade

Oh, we love Jrue. It's just when people say Dame isn't as good with dumb takes that we get critical. But we love him.

@@brianshaker1885Funny cause I see a lot of the comments bashing him
