    We lost this game when we got pick and rolled to death by Bane/Jackson. Ayton forgot coverages and Bane caught fire. We did nothing to adjust the defense on the fly.

    Offense was mostly fine even with the chucking til that point.

    every single traveling call got a highlight. It's important HCP shows everyone how not to play basketball.

    26-2 run and a coach should be relieved of duty. I personally have never heard of a stretch THAT bad. Anyone??

    Good thing Billups - the KING of never using the challenge - didn't use it on the flop by Smart during a key run. Genius.

    Billups might, MIGHT be a decent defensive coach, but he's a dumpster fire of an in game coach. He's the antithesis of Poppovich's feel for the game.

    Hey, at least...um...

    wait...am I reading the schedule right?

    They play @ Kings, @ the Lakers, then @ Utah?

    Back to their losing ways baby!

    I mean Ayton was complaining to the ref. The announcers were saying he was calling it a flop. No replay.

    Memphis missed only 2 shots in the last 8 minutes, that’s nuts and the blazers made none just 2 FTs

    26-2 was supposed to be the Bucks W/L record. But the ball is bouncy and weird stuff happens.

    Ugh!

    This is what we signed up for though. This is the rebuild many were asking for before Dame asked out and what we all wanted after he asked out. There are going to be a lot of rough nights.

    So you brought up the idea of Williams getting hurt and it happened. Then you brought up needing Brogdon to suck to win your fantasy and it happened.

    You're the worst!

    by the trade deadline give the keys to Shaedon and Scoot, look what you can get for Brogdon and Grant.

    Dude has a bum knee so you never know if he just needs a couple days or if it's something serious.

    It's one thing to lose to good/average teams but you have to beat the really bad ones.

    The peoples hero Malcolm fucking Brogdon goes 6-20, while dribbling his way into traffic and doing nothing on defense in one of the worst runs a Blazer team has faced to close a game in its history.

    Wonder how many people will convince themselves that he brings more to this team than a top 75 player ever after this one.

    We missed Ant padding some stats in final minute. Would have kept this game respectable.

    We should be shopping Brogdon right now. I feel like the Heat and Raptors would pay well for him.

    oh and Williams III needs to get traded too. In theory he could fit with the young group, but his injury history is a major red flag. He should have some value
