    Because Aminu is back. Everybody wanted Aminu back, and this is what happens - Noah and Pat get their minutes cut. It's a shame because Noah is our best defender, and seemingly Pat is our best jack-of-all-trades.

    Man, Bledsoe has always played well against us no matter what team he’s on. He brings some firepower to that squad, no joke. I don’t understand their record. And they don’t even have Jabari Parker!!

    Rod Strickland and Andre Miller never got that props they deserved. Not just for their play with us, but in their careers as well. I’ll even add Nick VanExel to that list. All 3 were just amazing out on the court for years.......

    A joke:
    Rod Strickland, Nick Van Exel, and Andre Miller walk into a bar... Nick and Andre eventually walk out.

    Remember the okc game when i said the bucks are the Most difficult matchup for the Blazers with their size and length? And now with Bledsoe who allways kills the Blazers it's more difficult to beat them

    Yeah I'm not expecting to ever beat Milwaukee now. Philly's the same way, just too long.

    You called posters whiney bitches if they brought up the refs.
    Straight up said anyone who spoke about the refs were making an excuse as to why Portland lost.

    Do I really need to draw you a picture?
    No I prolly do. Sorry don't have the time to draw one you can see.

    The color turns me off. It's not as vibrant as the original. The diagonal sash strip is dull. Lastly, the letters and number look like cheap felt. IMO

    I actually don't remember ANY post you've made. Others will only remember THIS one, because The HCP replied. Now go make yourself useful and get me an Iced Tea rook.

    Yep, Middleton and Bledsoe killed us. Even beyond Giannis, that team is just a tough match up for us.

    Maybe we should draft more WABCs. Collins is pretty long. No wonder you love that pick so much.

    Not too long ago there was a Zach Lowe podcast with some guest, i forget who it was, but they were talking about the Bucks defense compared to other teams like the Lebron Heat team and the Blazers.
    Basically, it's 2 different approaches: Stotts is playing the analytics numbers games, he's giving up midrange shots, low % shots, players don't fight through screens etc.
    Kidd is not willing to give anything up. His players are instructed to fight screens when they need to and giving up a wide open midrange shot is just as bad as giving up a three point shot or a short range shot.

    It sucks that we lost, but it's an interesting basketball experiment. Vogel's Pacers fell apart and it was partially because they a had defensive approach which was similar to Stotts'.
