Right off the bat for this game...

Benching Deni Avdija is a poor move. Way to go POR, you invested (2)1st round picks + (2) 2nd's only to bench the guy. Unbelievable, yeah he has struggled (no more than others), but of course, they are not even remotely utilizing him in the right way. This organization is clueless, led by Billups\Cronin

Actually, now that I think about it, what is even more
mystifying, is the fact that Simons is not even a PG, and having Deni on the floor as a distributor would’ve fit much nicer than Camera? Does Billups even know what he’s doing?

Nice ole defense by Simons against Aldama on the drive didn’t even try

MEM starting Jaylen Wells (and he is playing well), apparently there were some players available in the 2nd round this year worth taking?

Simons has looked awful this game and this year in general

Nice play b/t Scoot & Ayton

TL in and makes a nice block, impactful player! Then grabs a nice board

POR 1-9 3pt, they may be worse than LY

Nice finish by Clingan, then good D next play

At what point does Billups or Cronin get fired for this crap show? Oh that’s right, you need an actual owner to be able to do that

Nice pass by Deni to RW3, for once I agree with Michael Holton, that is what he is best at, you think Billups knows that?

This is looking like one of those games where Sharpe is a complete non factor. Best player?

Great steal? and slam by Scoot

Grant, the only vet playing worth a damn, trade him now, before he tanks his value

3 POR players watch as a MEM player flies in for a rebound & scores off a miss, and here come the boos, justified

Ayton, could you even try to contest that Aldama shot?

POR turnover and Pippen Jr punks them with a backwards b/t the legs pass for an uncontested dunk. This team is looking\playing like the Washington Generals.

Athletic finish by Camara, from a good pass by Scoot. Amazing how he looks better when players can actually finish off his passes.

I don’t need to see the TV flash Chauncey Billups with a bewildered look on his face, yeah, I know he has no clue what he’s doing

Dalano tries to go 1v3 and gets blocked, again, this isn’t rec league dude

This is when you know you’re a bad team, when you’re getting blown out and Dalano Banton goes one on everybody repeatedly and scores every once in a while & the crowd cheers, it’s a joke

Do we have to play two more quarters?

2nd round rookie (Wells) takes Grant to the post and scores on him, he looks better than any of POR 1st round picks

9min to go in 3Q, POR down by 26

I can understand a young team getting blown out in a game, but being outhustled is unacceptable, and that is 100% on the coach. More boo’s raining down

Pippen Jr looks like a better player than Simons. I know Simons isn’t this bad, but his body language is not good, the sooner he’s traded the better. The guy is mailing it in.

POR 1-22 from 3pt, this was a huge issue LY, and they did absolutely nothing to address it

Wow, POR is the worst 3pt shooting team, and 2nd worst at giving up 3pt shots, yeah, that’s not gonna work

Scoot hits POR 2nd 3, then nice drive/dish to TL

Grants watches as a MEM player chases down a rebound for another possession and they score off it, then Grant hits a 3 on the other end, yeah Jerami, we know you can shoot\score, but can you do anything else?

Aldama with a couple 3’s, yeah he can play

POR down by 30 with 3min left in 3Q

Bench is in, 1st play Banton goes 1v3, ugh

Then goes 1v2 again! and gets blocked by Edey, seriously?

Then he drives again and passes it off to Clingan, who scores Hey Dalano, maybe passing is a good idea?

4th straight possession, he goes 1v2 again and misses. I am telling you this guy is a complete chucker

End of 3Q, POR down by 34 & and this is officially become the Banton rec league show, the sooner that guy is gone from the team the better off they will be

I've never seen a game coached so poorly. No effort, no offense, no hustle, just absolute trash. I get that we're tanking but people paid to see this.

Not on,y is Chauncy not developing the young players but he's tanking any semblance of value the vets have.I hate these people,sooo much.

He has to be fired after this right?

I know they're more talented and will likely win some games eventually at least enough to get to the po's but damn the bucks may be worse than us so far this season

Why is chauncey bringing advija off the bench after what we gave up for him? Seems like he's a useful player who he is somehow finding a way to misuse

Wow, great defense by Clingan vs Edey, and then again, blocks him as shot clock expires

Stop shooting Banton!!! and then he goes 1v3 again! I don’t care if he got fouled, this is bad basketball and POR down by 37

Wow, Banton with back to back passes to Clingan for scores, nice to see that he can pass every once in a while, still can’t stand watching him though. That kind of player is not a winning basketball player.

MEM with a dunk off of horrible defense, POR down by 39, and Chauncey decides to call a time out to talk about it, lol

I actually feel bad for Clingan, he went from winning championships to this crap show Down by 41
This game is so bad that the PR analyst is talking about how long it takes to get to Japan, lol

Rupert dribbles off his foot, I think that’s the 2nd time he’s done that, he’s no PG

And Banton keeps shooting, and missing, leading to MEM fast breaks, he is 4-15!!

The best player tonight? Clingan, and it wasn’t a particularly close call

Deni, 13min, 0-2-4. Nice investment Cronin

POR loses at home by 45 to a team w\o Morant, Bane (I forgot about him!) Smart & GG Jackson playing

POR 4-42 3pt, yeah Joe this crap show is on you

Less than 5s left and Banton goes for garbage time score & Edey blocks him, and then he takes issue? Edey doesn’t care about you tryiing to pad your stats, you fool

The bucks have one of the most overrated coaches of all time, he's getting fired any day.

CB is actually worse though. I hope I never see his stupid nonchalant face ever again. Everyone in this organization has the most punchable face, it's like a virus that started with Olshey and spread to everyone else.

The post game interview should be hilarious.

Presser:
Billups “they all suck”
“You are a loser if you sleep well tonight”

Reading that after I posted it, makes me laugh, however, it is not funny

While those words are true, and this team NEEDS to clean house, get the guys who don’t wanna put in the effort off this roster ASAP, this is the kind of thing that coaches say before they are given their walking papers

Fortunately I can't watch these games until January 1. Grizzlies were playing without
Ja Morant and get beat by 45 at home.

Fans should start showing up to these home games with bags on their head

To those of you saying you need vets, so the young guys don’t get blown out and discouraged, are you so sure about that? Because I think it’s the vets who are the problem, at least the vets that are on this team, and the sooner they are gone the better the future of this team will be.

Start the young guys screw the vets

Listening to Danny Marang try to defend this team after this loss is in embarrassing. That guy is a clown.

Seriously? Billups is not the problem, He is saying that replacing him is not going to change anything, really? That guy is a certified idiot how anybody could listen to him and take him seriously, you have to be a fool.

Here is the reality, the NBA is run by the players, but the coach is responsible for putting those players in the best position to succeed & making sure they are putting in maximum effort, Billups has failed at both,and when you lose the lockeroom, you lose your job.

Marang cares more about his “insider” access and feeding his own ego. than being an objective reporter, listening to him defend Simons tonight like he’s not a large part of the problem is embarrassing, for him

Ya I am done watching this product until we move some bets. Pivoting to OKC to watch some real team basketball for a while.
