    The Bucks are my second favorite team in the league.....to beat them you can't make mistakes..the Greek Freak can run a fast break in about 3 steps...the dude is amazing in transition

    Running us off the 3 point line and then getting away with hacking and slapping in the paint. And then we missed 4-6 layups when we did get them.

    This is why I tell you guys don’t be fooled by our record

    We could barley beat wizards with no wall

    Barley beat nets with no Russell

    We have a lot of losses for having the easiest strength of schedule in the league right now

    We are not a good team

    Giving up 60 in the half seems like a bigger deal. As for the offense, the bucks height/length advantage is causing the Blazers all kinds of trouble. Terrible matchup.

    With CJ and Dame unable to throw a ball in the ocean in the first half...it's amazing we're as close as we are...I expect to see a different 2nd half...

    They got about 50 of them in the paint...that's a long team...Bledsoe makes them much better

    We were doing ok until we put in that CJ, ET, Harkless, Aminu, Davis lineup. The starting lineup had movement and was able to space the floor so we could hit Nurkic rolling to the rim, and our defense was mainly struggling with Middleton being able to shoot over our guards. We need Pat to be a couple of inches taller and with longer arms.

    Damn a lot of you guys get super mad about losing a game. Chill. It’s not the end of the world. You have to come to an understanding with yourself that the bucks just play really great defense. Great defense leads to easy offense.

    They are helpless against Nurk. Bets on if we make a point to go to him early in the 3rd?

    I think Pat makes the difference regarding Nurk. As soon as we put Harkles, ET, or Aminu in his place, we can't go to Nurk because the defense just has an extra defender to sag into the paint.
