    Great effort against a good team, on the road. Blazers look so much more improved on defense, so far

    I take out the dame stupidity because we still had the lead on the next play. That play could have (in high likelhood) resulted in points.

    Dame just went too deep in the key and fucked himself. lol.

    Every play matters. But the refs gave them the game with a number of bad calls.

    They only took 4 three point shots in the second half. They hurt us a lot more than we hurt them on turnovers.

    We are up one and CJ got fouled. We should then have then been up 3. How was officiating not a factor? Either they made a great play or we got fucked, but how did we do it to our selves? Sure it happens all the time, and we have to accept it. But that does not change the fact that the game swung on whether or not Giannis reach around and pushed CJ with his left hand. no doubt in my mind he did.

    Being owned by that sad sack franchise is maddening. We should be undefeated in the road heading into the best part of our schedule all year. Maddening!

    Exactly... in real time I was astonished... then on the replay... holy smokes. I just said "Yep, no foul. That son of a bitch." And tipped my proverbial cap. Dude is insane.

    What? The bucks are fucking good. I don't care about their history, RIGHT NOW, when we played them tonight, that's a damn good team. They deserve to be praised, even in defeat.

    Refs didn't cost us a game what cost us 56-26 advantage bucks in the paint. Nurk had 17/11 another double double and strong 2nd half. Dame also strong 2nd half. Lots postives in this game. Due I think we got tired properly. We out rebound our 3 team. Now we went on the road and 2-1 I will take that right now now go home for long home stance. Dame had 4 steals and Nurk had 3 blocks.

    CJ needs to read Dame's defender coming over and pass it... he had enough time to make that decision before he got fouled.

    They may be a sad sack franchise, but they have the best player in the League.

    All in all that was an OK performance. Puting the refs aside for a moment, their stud out studded ours when it really mattered and the game was entirely within reach with some better execution.

    Win big and lose close? Over the course of a whole season that probably means things are going OK.

    Seriously, when was the last time you saw a player as dominant as the Freak when he gets going? Even LeBron has to sweat at his numbers.

    I'd like to see the Bucks play the Warriors. They've given them problems before with their length and now Antetokounmpo might be better than Durant.

    They certainly got some home cooking but could've overcome that. They got roughed up a bit and they panicked into too many mistakes.

    He's unstoppable. I actually thought we were doing a decent job at slowing him and he got his career high.
