PGT: Blazers at Bucks

[Captain Erv]

Bleh.

[Mags FTW]

So when is the lockout?

[ComboGuardCity]

Seeing how the wing rotation isn't working yet, do you think if this continues until the deadline, Hammond pulls the trigger on a deal bringing Rip and Max for Redd. I'm sure most of you guys would hate it, but Hammond may have a soft spot...

[Turk Nowitzki]

Get ready ladies and gents, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

[trwi7]

Not even an orange belt can save us.

Salmons: The reason this game was lost. You don't shoot 2-14 and miss 10 in a row, along with offering NOTHING else. He was garbage from start to finish and every time the team looked like it might go on a bit of a run he stepped up to brick a shot and put a stop to that.

Gooden: His numbers look awful but he was playing with some effort on D and passing the ball, that's all I really want out of him.

Bogut: **** game. He had way more than 1 turnover, should've had 10-12 points the first quarter. Didn't rebound particuarly well. He looks heavy, slow and passive. It is frustrating as hell to see other C's taking steps forward while Bogut's apparently running in place or going backwards. I also don't mention his injury because he shoots with his left hand so it has no impact on that, and his left-handed shots have looked bad. At least his shot blocking is still there though.

Jennings: Right in there behind Salmons. 2-7 shooting, 6 turnovers... just not good enough. The back-up PG isn't good enough for Jennings to be playing like this.

Delfino: Good game. Few dumb mistakes but he's the only person really earning his roster spot night in and night out.

Maggete: YOU. SHOOT. TOO. MUCH. He got to the line 8 times which is great, but 12 shots in 17 minutes?

Anyway, onto the next one.

Too bad we weren't the team with a pair to throw a contract at Wes Matthews...Hope Salmons gets healthy and can play well this year, because without him we are screwed.

[yuedar]

i'll never understand why we interview the opposing teams players after the game when we lose but with that said Brandon Roy seemed alittle douche bag-ish in that interview. Also look into the camera once and awhile!

For the last time no! Rip sucks just as much if not more than the rest of our wings and one of them missed the entire preseason.

[tyland]

Hmmm... don't know what sucks more. This loss or the property law exam I just finished. What a crap day

I thought Redd was Max? Also, Rip is trash, no way is he dumpable unless Detroit takes on an even worse contract.

[raferfenix]

I found Delfino's first quarter to be real encouraging. Especially with Salmons looking like he's got a long ways to go, we need Carlitos to be beasting it up dramatically more.

Blazers adjusted and took him out of his game, but they are fantastic defensively. Hopefully won't be the same as other teams...

[SupremeHustle]

The Bucks aren't League Pass worthy this year. Maybe they will be in Feb.

[SupremeHustle]

GET HEALTHY MICHAEL REDD!

I think the injury needs to be referenced in regards to his general conditioning. It's clear he's not 'match fit' yet, and that will affect the way he moves but also the intensity that he will play with at times. I don't know how long this will still be an issue but i would have thought that it least the first month of the season we are going to see a slower than usual Bogut.

[Buck You]

Just a terrible game. Portland is a better team than us but losing like that, no excuse. Salmons was so bad, I think he needs to not play as much until he is in game shape because right now he's not helping the team at all. Brockman hustles but he's pretty useless, he's too small for his position. I still think the team will be alright but right now they are playing like garbo.

[Ayt]

40 wins?

[verticalhops]

I know we lost and all, but something positive on the side note.... TA18 has finally been suspended, the serial Bogut versus Wade, Bogut versus Carmello thread maker
