PG Blazers: Another Loss

Khris (who is no doubt opting in) is one of the worst contracts in the league.

Out of all the bad playing: Giannis missing layups he always makes, Lopez looking his age, Dame looking like an average player, the most depressing aspect of the last week is Middleton. He looks so slow against these teams that it's embarrassing.

The only hope is that he improves and that the nature of the playoffs as a half court battle, serves his skillset.

Posters can complain about Lopez, Portis or whoever, but a championship rests on the BIg 3. Nothing else matters.

Can live with Giannis just having a rough stretch at the rim but the effort defensively is far worse and the team just follows his lead (and to be fair Dame's as well). He was lazy all night and didn't seem to care at all and ho hum so was the team.

We are using Dame as a decoy. He gets doubled and they take him out of the game. Legit worried he is shook from missing so many game ending shots that he may be @$$ in the playoffs.

Bobby in the closing lineup is an interesting choice.

This team really thought a meaningless, stupid as **** exhibition “cup” trophy meant they could coast the rest of the season and this is their rightful karma for thinking that way. Horst better have something big up his sleeve before the deadline, because if not, this team is cooked.

He did miss a lot of layups, but still shot over 50% and scored 31 of our 102, while the rest of the Bucks shot 39%. The loss might have a little to do with the rest of the Bucks.

How pathetic is it in hindsight that we fired a rookie coach with a 30-13 record because guys didn't pickup their man on defense. We couldn't have done something simple like assign an assistant coach to make sure everyone knows who there man is in transition?
Doc Rivers is worthless. His gas lighting is useless. Looking forward to hearing his BS now.

Is he also shook from missing so many non game ending shots? Dude has missed a lot of shots.

Khris is turning into Tony Snell (invisible).

What's upsetting is that Prunty laid out at halftime what the offense had to do and they didn't do it. Virtually every bucket they did get was because of ball movement. Bucks had 25 assists, more than the Blazers, but they didn't do it enough.

Dame doesn't look like he can beat his man anymore. That's a concern.

This team would be better right now with Jrue vs Dame. We wouldn’t be title contenders but we would be a better team. It’s time to figure a way out Horst. He needs to go

Jimmy Haslam better open up his pocketbooks and get a real coach in here this offseason. Just wasting Giannis prime years with Doc coasting for a paycheck.

He's been back a month now, this was his 12th game.

"We've had other players miss time with injury/illness"

So has every other team.

This is not a contender. We can play well at times. But win 4 playoff series? No way.

Everyone defering to everyone else is making everyone else worse. Make set plays for individual players to succeed and run them. Willy Nilly basket ball isn't getting it done.

Not even in the top 2 on this team.

Good luck to the next coach trying to get through to this playing group.

This team is so easy to defend. Double Dame, let Giannis get his, and don't worry about the role players.

Don’t worry guys, Gary Payton gonna turn it on. Did you see he’s the 3rd leading vote getter at guard in the East?

Good news is we can still trick a team into giving up value for Dame. No chance anyone would trade for present day Jrue.

Love Tony Snell. Talked to him last season at a Herd game when he played for the Celtics G league team. Now he plays for a different G league team.

Will I see Khris in Oshkosh in a few years?
