    But as someone else pointed out in the comments, Dame was like 1-7 at that point, and Giannis made the shot.

    Trail Blazers offer Tyler Herro and a pick.

    Do they take Brogdon for Herro?

    ...looks like Dames troublesome calf is already causing issues as he missed his first game last night. Hopefully not a bad omen for the Achilles!

    so, Dame doesn't play against Indiana and the Bucks give up 126 points, 6 more than their average, and have a defensive rating more than 4 points worse than their average....with Dame out

    maybe Milwaukee's defensive issues aren't because of Dame.

    Maybe Milwaukee was way too eager to make Mike Budenholzer the scapegoat for last season's failures. And maybe, Milwaukee hired the wrong HC (with no HC experience) to fix the defense and incorporate Dame's talents into the offense.

    In the coach with no experience's defense, he was not hired to incorporate Dame. Dame was dumped in his lap, most likely throwing all his plans out the window, good or bad.

    Dame is a byproduct of losing Jrue, so whether or not Dame plays isn't the most significant element.

    I had a discussion with a friend who is a Bucks fan. I told him, you can clearly see Dame is uncomfortable in Milwaukee, he doesn't wanna be there. I told him i bet he already regrets the trade demand. I think he would love to be back in Portland

    I think he wants to be in Miami, not Portland.

    I think he wasn't lying when he said he's right where he belong at media day. Basketball-wise it's a great situation, through I wish Terry is still there.

    The discomfort you may see from his is likely due to his ongoing divorce and custody battle

    Giving his divorce filing I think his money wants to be in Florida as much as anything.

    I don’t think he likes the system. I suspect he also doesn’t like the coach.

    I don't blame him. The way he and Giannis are being staggered feels a bit off to me
