    And the Blazers have a good record as well. But if I look at the 2 games so far, Bucks look the much better of the two teams. CJ got stupid hot in the first game but that isn't something you can rely on and is more of an aberration.

    This is a behind-the-shed Ass Whooping.

    I don’t get this. Best record in West and 90% of you said we’d lose this game, that it was a schedule loss, etc. Now we suck because we’re down big vs an 8-1 home team?

    We have a 5-3 road record. They have an 8-1 home record. And our home win vs them was a great win by 15 points that can’t get written off because CJ played well.

    Nothing wrong with a schedule loss....it happens. Not showing up is what is pathetic.

    As I said about the Knicks game there going back to same routine they play last year that's included the players and the coach. I told myself if they play like that against the Bucks we will get blown out and so far I am right.

    Who said anything about writing it off? But is was an aberration. CJ hasn't been that hot at any other time this season. He can do that occasionally, but you can't build a game plan around that type of output.

    You know better than to call a game after only 24 minutes has been played.

    There really isn't much point in playing the 2nd half if we're going to give half assed effort and the refs are going to fuck us on top of it. I wonder if the two are related at all. I'd find it hard to put out effort if I was already having a bad shooting night, then whenever I tried to play defense I got whistled, and then I get hacked on the other end and get nada. Then the other team starts feeling good about themselves and hitting shots and you have to play 82 of these games. Yeah I might say fuck it once in a while too.

    We all know this game is an L when we saw the 6 game schedule as well as the next game. Blazers blew the opportunity on beating the Lakers and the Wolves.

    Actually we need more Meyers. I’d consider playing Meyers with Nurk.

    At least we’re cheating their fans out of a good game . . .

    They get into this rut for stretches every single year under Stotts. They just go on autopilot and don't seem to care that much.
