    It's later in the game and Dame is starting to play as if he is on the west coast.

    Bucks look better when they aren’t trying to force feed Giannis.

    ... also, Lopez is a better screen setter than Nurk. That might be even better for Dame than playing with Giannis for his own game.

    I think the Bucks can put a better lineup around Dame than he’s ever had, even when Giannis is on the bench.

    Dame is on fire now, but it sure seems like he plays better without Giannis.

    I think that this is the real offensive difference between Dame and Steph. Dame really needs the ball in his hands to be a superstar. Steph is just as effective and dangerous without it. It's hard to imagine that someone as good as Dame is, offensively, has places to become better, but that's certainly one of them.

    Griffin is a moron. He’s playing Dame off the ball with the starters. Dame is just standing around. He doesn’t bring the ball up. They need to fire this dude.

    Maxey is great. You can understand why the Sixers are reluctant to trade him.

    Yep. James Harden requesting a trade is a blessing for the 76ers.
