Yikes, Dame playing against us. This is going to feel extremely strange.

 

[kjironman1]

There is an old saying that players that have been traded play a bit harder against their former teams.

 

[PDXFonz]

First game against Dame. He gonna torch his old team like so many other players do? Shoot 8-11 from downtown and drop 54 on us?

I give us a .000000001% chance of winning this game.

 

[Whyachi]

since 2016, Giannis & the Bucks are 12-2 vs. Blazers.

While Milwaukee is loaded with veteran firepower, the Blazers are hyper & zesty & on a win streak (1).

This will be a good test for the young Blazers.

.....and wasn't one of those wins when Dame was out? It was Hart, Winslow, Nurk etc if memory serves. It was a part of a 4-game winning streak that had to come to an abrupt halt to improve our Draft position.

[Whyachi]

3 bucks scored 30+ for first time in team history tonight. (yes, it was a warm-up game vs. Wizards)

 

[BlazerBeav]

Definitely won't be watching this game.

 

[blazerfan11]

Definitely won't be watching this game.

Why not?

The Bucks, at home, were only able to barely beat the 2-13 Wizards. They won by 3 points and the score was close for the entire game.

 

[riverman]

Sweeping the Bucks would be so sweet!

 

[illmatic99]

He's dropping 50.

 

[handiman]

He's dropping 50.

Career highs for Scoot and Brogdon incoming.

 

[BigGameDamian]

He's dropping 50.

Dame is coming for Scoot!

 

[THE HCP]

Mil-125
PDX- 105

Dame goes for 71!

 

[blazerfan11]

 

[BlazerBeachBum]

Blazers 115
Bucks 109

GO BLAZERS!!

 

[lamlor]

Funny that he didn't play the other night because of back spasms, but after the game he was on video dumping a bucket of water on Jabari in the lockerrrom for a celebration. I figured then his back wasn't too bad.

 

[MickZagger]

Can’t be that weird. You spent two seasons with him and we sucked so bad both those years we wanted our crack at lottery balls instead of seeking out wins

 

[Blazinaway]

There is an old saying that players that have been traded play a bit harder against their former teams.

ya mean he might actually paly a little D?

 

[kjironman1]

ya mean he might actually paly a little D?

At least he's playing.

 

[Chris Craig]

Can’t be that weird. You spent two seasons with him and we sucked so bad both those years we wanted our crack at lottery balls instead of seeking out wins

It's weird because Chauncey actually has to make a game plan.

 

[kjironman1]

So not even a nationally televised game? I would have thought with all the hoopla all summer about Lillard they would have picked this game up?

 

[AldoTrapani]

God I’m not looking forward to scoots 2-11 type of shooting nights he does

 

[kjironman1]

God I’m not looking forward to scoots 2-11 type of shooting nights he does

We all just want him to continue to grow as a player. Believe me I'm not a fan of what has happened over the last couple years but no need to drag on the kid.
Got to wish him all the best.

 

[Chris Craig]

God I’m not looking forward to scoots 2-11 type of shooting nights he does

Hopefully, he's not a deer in the headlights.

 

[Blazinaway]

Hopefully, he's not a deer in the headlights.

a "deer with goggles"...lol

 

[Labinot41]

I'll have to shed a few tears watching Dame play against the Blazers.

 

[Everything Beagle]

You think Dame tries to go for 101 today?
