    If I was a Bucks fan, I’d be PISSED that we had the same record as the worst defensive, and worst assists per game team in the entire league. Wonder what their forum is like? If a coach ever deserved to be fired it’s theirs and Bostons right?

    Too bad the Bucks don't have any major players out that would make getting the W for the Blazers easier.

    really excited for this game. This will be the first real test for our new group. The bucks have been a bad matchup for the Blazers the past years, so i'm not that confident. Blazers need to get Powell involved a lot more, this dude knows how to beat the Bucks

    Been very bad. Was a terrible match up two months ago for sure. Bucks were just bigger. They even played both Lopez and Giannis at times. Blazers tried to counter with Giles but that was futile.
    Bucks shot 42 three's and made 50% of them. 21 buckets was 63 points from long range. The 21 points from Portis killed them as well. Melo had one of his 1-7 and 4 points nights.
    Blazers will be better off this game.
    Last game
    Gary Trent 3 - 13 shooting 2-8 from 3
    RoCo 2-9 and 1-5 from 3
    Melo 1-7 and 0-1 from 3
    Lillard was 6-13 but 2-7 from 3

    The one bright spot was Nassir Little who dropped 30 points in 30 mins on 11-18 shooting also going 5-7 from 3.

    Blazers had no way to stop the size and when they tried they couldn't guard the three. Bucks walked to an easy victory.

    We are so weird, i think even we as hardcore Blazers Fans dont know who this team is. First in offensive rating, last in defensive rating

    Bucks will find out they cannot guard the Blazers like they did last time. Stotts has way more options this game.

    We are definitely throwing a much more dangerous roster on the court tonight than we did the first time around. Sure would like to get this one!

    Why has Nassir been out? Is he expected to play today?

    I expect Milwaukee will do what they do and that's focus defensively on Dame with Jrue leading the focus group. It will be up to other blazers to carry the load, especially CJ who should be single-covered by an average defender again

    You don't expect Middleton to be on CJ?

    I'm hoping this will be Powell's first home game message to Blazer fans.

    maybe, but I doubt it. Powell has already burned the Bucks in three games this year for 22 points/game on 66% FG's; 56% three's; and an .845 TS%. That has likely left an impression. And, CJ averaged 28.5 against the Bucks last season, but they left him single-covered and won both games

    I pick a win because I want a win. It's time for selfish behavior.

    All I want to see is how Dame adjust to Jrue’s defense.
