A huge test and what looks like a likely loss without Dame. A great chance to get some development of our young guns, especially Sharpe.

Really? You think the team will miss Dame's high-volume, 17% 3-point shooting we saw in the last two games which were losses?

Edit: this was meant for the Milwaukee game thread. Please move it there if anyone can.

These are the Blazers and Nurkic I want to see.
Nurkic is RUNNING THE COURT.
Nurk IS NOT the player who slows our offense down. He is absolutely a FULL COURT and BALL MOVEMENT player. Nurk can get easy buckets by outrunning his man, either in the full court or half court.
Forward to the 40 second mark to see proof.
What the hell happened to us running the ball like this?
Nurk is nearly un-fucking-stoppable in these situations.

Bucks missing Middleton....maybe we keep this close.

blazerfan11 · Nov 20, 2022

This is the Trail Blazers and Nurkic I want to see in Milwaukee. This was just season. Running the court. Playing with enthusiasm. What happened to that?

Billups ball has become Boring Ball.

Winning the game is a possibility. I would not be surprised.

THE HCP · Nov 20, 2022

Well a bunch of you on here will get your wish. I just finished reading last night's game thread. Honestly a bit blown away with the Dame hate. Oh well, now you get your team without our overpaid again injury prone horrible 3 point % shooting PG.
Let's roll!

KSF-ERIC · Nov 20, 2022

Bucks roster is very thin after Giannis. We can absolutely beat this team. Cavs and Knicks have struggled. Nets game is rematch. I think a 4-0 trip is in the cards.

Do we know if Jrue is playing? He’s been out too. Also Pat C out. They’re not much of a team after Giannis.

Chris Craig · Nov 20, 2022

Giannis going to be on a mission. We won't be able to guard him.

He came off the bench last game

Portland Trail Blazers
10-6 (10-5-1) 216.0 +285 20.3%

Milwaukee Bucks
11-4 (10-5-0) -8.5 -365 79.7%
Bookies don't like us in this game. Dame out two weeks last i heard not good probably why he played so bad last game.

I was pissed. Didn't mean what I said. I was blowing off steam.

That said, this team can still win while he heals up.

Our last game in Milwaukee, a win:

https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202202140MIL.html

Giannis didn't play but a lot of our players (who are currently on the team) played well without Dame. Shocking to see Josh Hart shot 5 of 9 from three. I wish he'd get aggressive like that now. He seems to be resigned to playing the CJ Elleby role now.

Bucks lineup seems too tall for us. How are we gunna get rebounds?

No not really.
They might miss that 53% 2pt and 37% career 3 point shooting though? You know he averaged about 40% from 3 in 20 and 21. Probably need to exclude last year? Just a thought?
No question when Dame is playing well he makes this team better. Pretty sure you agree with that.

Cugel · Nov 21, 2022

On what planet is dame a 52% shooter? I will assume that's a typo. Dame is a good overall shooter; not elite. This is a game of "what have you done for me lately". Dame is not immune to aging as we can see from the mounting injuries. Yes when healthy he had strong strong games but he is now in rehab mode and should stay that way until 110%. I know you have to shoot your way out slumps but there has to be a limit when it gets embarrassing. Get a healthy Dame back. It will be hard for Portland to do much some nights, imho, with only Ant, no dame, no keon. But every team deals with injuries; major part of the game.

It will be clear by the deadline what changes need to be made.
And I am sure Vegas has Portland 0-4 on this trip. CLE and MIL may be unwatchable for sensitive viewers.

They definitely have a size advantage.

Fairly-Hard · Nov 21, 2022

It’s really nice they played hard and got a few wins earlier in the season. It makes every win now even more valuable.
Pretty happy with 10-6 right now. If they can split the next 4 I will be very happy with where this team is at this point.

Quatro44 · Nov 21, 2022

time to get back on the winning train.

AldoTrapani · Nov 21, 2022

Wow the Sacramento Kings are fucking nice this year. Surprise team of the year with the Jazz

PDXFonz · Nov 21, 2022

Not sure about this one, but I’ve had it circled for a while.

Not going to completely count us out. But given the situation, Milwaukee will have to give us one, and if they play well we will be in for a rough night.

Looks like the Blazers are +360

Do you like Walker. Seems like a fun guy to be around.

I swear, if Ingles goes off on us, I hope someone sweeps his leg, Cobra Kai style.

Likable dude. Always a smile. Haven't had the chance to really get to know him.
