    I think Chief is one of the best guys in the league to have defending the Greek Freak. Bledsoe is probably one of the best to have on Dame. CJ and Nurk need to really show up and I think we can win this one.

    And now they're being coached by Budenholzer... I'd be pleasantly shocked if we get this one :smiley-unsure:

    Milwaukee was a top team in the 70s (Jabbar) and 80s (Don Nelson) but fell off with subsequent head coaches, e.g. the Terries (Stotts and Porter).

    The Blazers need 45+ points from swish3s to beat the Bucks. In this game without Nik, we need high % swish3 shooting such as 3 each by Dame, CJ, Meyers, Zach, and Jake or Seth. Team % needs to be >40, but 50+ would be better.

    The Bucks like to play fast pace, so the Blazers should substitute frequently to keep energy high, but avoid taking out any hot hand when he is in the zone making them.

    This would be an ideal game to see 60+ or even 70+ % swish3 shooting.

    I feel like this could be an early turning point. Beating Milwaukee to go 8-3 would be awesome.

    Don't really need a turning point though. We're on track for 57 wins now. We lose we will be on pace for 52 still.

    We've been good.

    Just in terms of confidence and overcoming the early season lulls.

    BALL DON'T LIE!

    I want the Blazers to crush this team, but....it's just not going to happen. We're simply not as good as Milwaukee is. I think this is going to be a loss.

    The George Karl Ray Allen , Glenn Robinson, Sam Cassell, Michael Redd (fixed) Bucks get an honorable mention ..that was a good team
