14 pt 4th qtr...seen this before.

 

[Cugel]

This loss is on CB. Have to create shots. He just can't do it.

She bugs me that Trysta Krick. Pride of Benson High school

No, that would be yours truly, or perhaps my friend back in the day Joel David Moore if we are talking current levels of fame and not future.

Chancey ball

I would have loved to have Stotts as head coach and Chauncey as defensive coordinator.

 

[Natebishop3]

Giannis with 18 FTA.

Dame with 14 FTA.

Superstar league. Can't go ice cold, as we have done so many times this year.

Great to see all the love for Lillard by the team after the game.

 

[B-Roy]

Fun game and probably the optimal outcome, in the long term!

The scoot thing bothers me. It’s obviously a tank move. I understand you want Scoot to get crunch time experience, but he wasn’t even handling the ball. Just out there running cardio and getting hunted defensively. Is that really important? If you wanted development at least put him in for Brogdon.

also side note but every time scoot has been playing off the ball this season (and it’s a lot) he’s just out there running cardio. Not really ideal player development.

Why?

 

[Hoopguru]

Sharpe has to step up and get greedy....

 

[Kano John]

Kudos to the young Blazers for making a game of it!

Bingo!

Having a superstar is a big deal. Having two, is huge!

 

[riverman]

I guess you can tank this early in the season and not get fined for it.

 

[OneSport3]

We’re getting obliterated on the offensive boards by Milwaukee:

Chauncey: let’s play a small 3 guard lineup with a PF that is allergic to rebounding. DA get all the boards by yourself.

Too much Malcolm and Grant. If we're gonna iso every possession, would rather those plays go to Shae.

I'm not following... Are you wanting him to play less or be the featured guy?

 

[maxiep]

Im done

Vaya con Dios.

Either play him in the role he should be playing or don’t play him at all.

that was a pretty important loss given how close lottery standings are.

 

[FlashWad]

Lots of positives in this games for sure but hard to feel good chocking a 26 point lead to the Lillard Bucks. I’m going to go for a walk.

It's very odd.

 

[maxiep]

This loss is on CB. Have to create shots. He just can't do it.

Or perhaps the Bucks came out taking us too lightly, then stepped up their defense and are the markedly better team.

 

[Whyachi]

Ayton's only shot in 4th was glass cleanup. 1-1
Deandre hit 4-5 quick J's during this game. Got put on "ignore" during crunch time.

 

[maxiep]

Why?

We played well enough to win, but end up with more lottery balls.

Billups is worthless offensively. Putting Scoot out there as a SG is madness. Give him the ball and let him create, or get him off the floor in favor of Camara.

Billups is very good at defense and absolutely atrocious, I mean room temperature IQ when it comes to offense. Unreal.

Billups knows the #1 goal!

 

[Tince]

Why?

It was fun because we were competitive on the road against a team that is WAY better than us.

It was probably the best long-term outcome because this current roster isn't near good enough to turn into a playoff contender down the road and therefore we need as good of lottery odds as possible!

 

[Idog1976]

Or perhaps the Bucks came out taking us too lightly, then stepped up their defense and are the markedly better team.

All we needed is two more buckets in the 4th and we win. It was absolutely on CB come on! Did you not see our stagnant Brogdon/Grant ISO trash? They didn't even TRY a Sharpe or Ayton play.

I don’t like that he was set up to fail by playing sf
