Nobody seemed to be passing the ball to Khris.

Relying on 36? year old Brook to bring it 30 minutes a night seems like a bad decision.

Lol Brook.

That may have been the nail in the coffin tonight.

The most obvious move is to get a backup 4/5 to relieve Brook from playing 30 mins a game.

Unless they can cut it to within 10 I don't think Giannis is coming back in. Portland running us out of the gym.

Don't know if there's any way at the deadline to fix the problems with this team. Probably best to ride it out and see what they can do in the offseason to balance the books and maybe take another swing next year.

Brook can't be relied upon most of the time anymore, Giannis still doesn't trust his teammates when facing a bit of adversity, Khris might be broken, we almost literally don't have a big rotation, Prince is terrible and our other role players are inconsistent.

Ugh, Blazers really needed this loss. It sucks that for whatever reason, they just have the Bucks number... not ideal if you're a team that is fighting for lottery positioning.

Never should've put Giannis back in. This game is over.

It was obvious last year and the front office did nothing.

Was obvious in 2022.

Regardless of trade rumors, 2 out of 3 games scoreless for the someone making 30 million is unacceptable. That’s Ben Simmons level

I turned this game off in the second quarter when we were up 12 to finish a couple of household tasks, and was honestly shocked when I turned it back on to see we were down 19 in the fourth.

Second half of a road b2b is something. Middleton foul trouble. No Portis and no Green.

But this Blazers team is not very good and being swept by them is a damn shame.

Yeah and I say this as not a knock on Brook either but we needed to make life easier for him as he got older and we've done the complete opposite.
