I'm late and I can't find the thread but I just seen a Gil's Arena clip of Mccants literally talking out his ass (not that it's a surprised but I legit got the look)

Said Dame wasn't doubled in Portland

Said it'll be harder for Dame to adjust because he's playing with a superstar

Wemby the real life stretch Armstrong. It’s gonna be impossible to block him.

@42 Monks I haven’t heard a word about B Miller, how has he been doing?

He got tired of everyone calling him an idiot the first season, researched what a "troll" was, and now hides behind that for his ridiculous takes

I don’t usually agree with McCants but I understood what he was saying. Dame would get doubled early (trapped on the high screen), come off the rock, then reset and expect the ball back bc his usage rate is so high.

He may or may not get it back in Milwaukee depending on how they choose to play.

Nobody really knows how the bucks are going to operate under a rookie head coach. We just know that the dame - Giannis pick and roll should be central focus of the offense.

Good points, and yeah that'll be the key. I did agree with Mccants to an extent of Giannis not killing you with picking apart a defense like Joker through his passing, I just thinking the spacing will compensate for it though.

Mccants brings the whole IQ of the show down, and then he just starts yelling and moving the goal post.

Gil and the host are proud Laker fans, Jennings is a proud Bucks fans, but they put in intentional self-deprecation when giving their takes on their teams (or their team’s biggest threats) bc they know what it is. Mccants is a Heat fan but he really be believing the dumb shyt he be saying and going down that rabbit hole.

i.e. Yesterday they were talkin about how Harden would fit in Heat culture; Gil and Kenyon were saying great players who want to win hold themselves accountable but Mccants in his stance to show heat culture would ‘change’ James, was arguing how it was the Warriors (not Steph) and the Bulls (not Jordan) who installed the winning mentality and accountability in them.

Then it turned into him tryna out-yell everyone for the next 10 mins tryna bash Jordan but tiptoe around applying the same logic to Kobe, Butler, etc.

Pieces don’t look like they fit. Point-Zion is cool but where does Ingram fit if Zion prefers PnR with Jonas? Or when it’s McCollum running his own PnR actions to brick his long jumpers?

Is an Ingram/Zion PnR a thing? Or is it gonna be one of those at times disjointed Jayson/Jalen and Kawhi/PG things where they just work in silos

Seems like a lot of the ridiculous hype around Scoot has comeback to reality and the dismissing of Miller has stopped

If that's the case who do you trade for?

Lowry is like the only player that would fit, but I see Miami using him as a filler for another trade.

seriously how are you expected to box this man out....I saw him do this off a missed FT as well. This French nikka is gonna finish everything around the rim

Just tuned into Knicks/Wolves and Randle is in mid-season form
