GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ BUCKS - 11/20/13, WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST)

could be

if they get randle they are gonna have some freaky big man depth

 

Yeah I'm not saying they become instant contenders, but they may have an opportunity to get a franchise player for at least 7 years.

 

Isn't Matthews from the area? I thought he always enjoyed playing well there.

I'm not concerned with a letdown, this Blazer team has shown effort every game, except possibly game 1. Sure all NBA rosters have talent to win on most any night but I feel better about this game than any since we had Sacramento at home. I'd say odds are 20-1 we win.

 

Why not start one of your remedial game threads for all the newbies?

 

Mee – lee – wa – kay
Their only wins of the season came against Cleveland and Boston. Versus Cleveland, Gary Neil and OJ Mayo both went for over 20. And versus Boston, Milwaukee’s bench scored 66 of the team’s 105 points. They are a near worst in rebounding, points per game and even assists, but average defensively.

They’ve been struggling with injuries - Ersan Ilyasova was out with a sore ankle and didn’t travel with the team on their recent road trip. An MRI showed Caron Butler is out with a sprained shoulder, which occurred Wednesday night versus Orlando, and may miss the game versus Portland. Both are listed as day-to-da. (Edit: Sanders is still out with a broken hand) Needless to say, this team is simply not very good, and that makes them both beatable and dangerous.

Matthews match up with Mayo will be the one to watch. They both carried nearly identical stats last season, but in the 4 games they played against each other, Mayo (Dallas) torched Matthews from the field and behind the arc shooting in the mid 60 percentages across those 4 games. Even so, the Bucks aren't equipped to win a shootout, but they have had 3 days off to game plan for Portland.

The Pacers have hit the century mark exactly 1 time this season in 10 games (104 pts). It was against the Bucks.

 

where's Larry Sanders? Is he not on the Bucks, and isn't he injured?

 

I already got dibs after the win streak is over. I get the next game, there was a vote!

 

Got into a fight at a bar and broke his hand!

 

Good news for The Blazers!

 

Get greedy

 

A little inspiration. Still an awesome scene

the bucks court is awesome. I hope if the blazers do a court redesign they do something like the Bucks did

 

If we lose tonight, will that put a damper on the season and the early success? Last game of the roadtrip against a team that is clearly garbage. Sounds like the perfect let down game.

 

He went to Marquette and went to high school in the Madison area

 

Have we really lost 4 straight games to the Bucks?! Argh, this needs to be corrected immediately!

 

WHOA. They most definitely will be prepared and know a lot of our sets and how to attack. I think this will be a good test/prep for a 7 game series about making adjustments.

 

Never underestimate the bottom feeders, especially when their starters are injured, some bench rookie who has not been scouted can surprise a team...(Miles Plumlee in Phoenix played a career game against us) We should win this game by double digits. Maybe tonight's the night our bench gets to play a full 4th qtr

 

Go blazers, is this on Comcast?/
