PG Blazers: Another Loss

[jschligs]

From what I watched, Bobby was awful. Sure he gets rebounds, but he missed plenty of good looks and made wrong decisions at times. Just watching him frustrates me and I want him gone tomorrow.

I mean you would never see any other superstar pass up a game winning shot.

[jschligs]

We also better be careful or Miami, ATL, Indy, Detroit could easily push us into the play-in. Lots of time left, but I have little confidence.

[mediocrityrules]

I might be reaching but I swear Doc is subtextually calling out Midds' defense. He just said he didn't think Brook was moving well.

What can we get for Khris and Brook? A center, a shooting guard?

A walking stick and a cane

[mediocrityrules]

Midds needs to find a new role on this team if that is what he's going to be physically now. He needs to be a second unit guy, 20 mins a game and comes in for shooting impact and playmaking, and we hide him where we can. He feels like he's becoming too much of a liability now. Brook is also becoming a very situational player. He's either going to be 30 mins when you can play him, and as little as 12-14 when the match-up is not there.

Giannis with a somewhat evasive answer when asked about Khris starting games.

the team takes the worst shots. just selfish af most of the time. no fundametals and just plays so so lazy. basic breakdowns are just nonstop over and over for long stretchs.

this team has to have their backs against the wall or it has to be a big game or a great challenge even for them to play hard or take this **** seriously. we see it time and time again..

were going to play better here for awhile and then well suck again etc etc

playoffs will start and if were healthy well be fun to watch at least. i do believe in the playoffs we will try hard. winning it all is a ridiculous notion but at least once the playoffs start we will attempt to compete. watching basketball is soo much more fun when your team is at least making the attempt to compete

The outcome of us getting leads everytime Khris leaves the floor and losing them when he comes back in is a circumstance that most of you never considered and it shows.

Unfortunately for you there's this simple stat called +/- that shows that you're a liar. However, your statement would be true if you simply replaced Middleton's name with Damian Lillard.

The Bucks are 2.1 points/100 better with Middleton on, and 6.3 points/100 better with Lillard off. Considering Lillard makes $17.2 million more, it's obvious who is crippling the Bucks.

The biggest issue is that Dame's uncaring attitude is infecting the entire team.

This is completely true. We desperately need to play someone good again so we don't look so terrible.

[PG Graveyard]

If there is one positive that comes out of this it’s that Khris needs to be a DH coming off the bench until he can move like a NBA player again. We need to stagger Khris and Dame as much as possible since they are probably the 2 worst defenders in the league right now

So glad ive tuned this team out. Cant lose to the blazers or nets let alone both if youre a serious contender. These loses all cant be schedule losses.

Yep its fu... bobbys fault what a cliche bucks lose blame bobby omg 3 guys in starting 5 score less than 10 points yep thats bobbys fault.Giannis misses bunnies all night juat like he did against the nets yet this loss is on bobby.Mids n lopez have a normal game bucks win by 15 but in your eyes n alot more on this board every loss is cause of bobby.

[engelmartin]

I would have rather been watching college basketball

[DusterBuster]

Somebody explain to me how Dame is better than Simons. I don’t see it. We have to unload that contract. Giannis needs to be ok with this. It’s his fault.

Dame is (or at least was) much better than Simons and it’s not particularly close - at least from the Portland days. Simons has been insanely inconsistent, he shows out against Dame because he’s engaged and likes to give full effort to battle his friend. A random Tuesday against the Pistons? You’ll be 11pts on 38% FG shooting from Simons. Ever since the Blazers have tried to replace a core starter with Simons, the team has always been worse off for it. It happened when they moved CJ to give Simons his spot, and Simons has been a poor imitation of Dame since the Blazers traded him to Milwaukee.

So I understand your thought process here based on last nights game, but Simons only puts up these kinds of games every like once every 6 games.

Granted, I’ve not followed Dame a ton since the trade, so possibly that’s around the same kind of production these days… but that would a sign of Father Time showing out on Dame vs Simons actually being as good as Dame can be.

I also much rather you guys had won last night fwiw. I hate how many pointless wins the Blazers are getting this year.

Somehow Griffin managed with a worse roster to have the offense rolling, ok the team defense was atrocious but the offense was doing great. This was with Dame shooting worse than this year. was it the Beasley effect?

We were getting offensive rebounds last year, as Griffin completely ignored transition defense

You are so reactionary lol. It’s not just Bobby’s fault we all know that for one game. But his season as a whole has been poor and the advanced stats show this.

[Bernman]

The Bucks may kill off the NBA Cup. Their performance after has been similar to the Lakers last yr & there's a wide-range of ultimate outcomes for their season. If they were bounced in the play-in even, NBA Cups would be viewed as Pyrrhic victories.

If you take 27 shots and only get 2 assists, you’re not playing team ball.
