BUCKS @ BLAZERS 01.19.13 - 7:00 PM - KGW - GAME THREAD

[B-Roy]

I'd rather play a dog at point guard than Price and Smith.

 

[MadeFromDust]

We literally cannot afford to have Lillard off the floor

 

[RoyToy]

Batum looks awkward when he's trying to handle the ball

 

[KeepOnRollin]

He's just in a slump. Even Ray Allen has gone into major slumps in the playoffs, no less.

We aren't thinking Babbitt should be compared to perhaps the greatest pure shooter in NBA history are we?

Ray Allen's worst percentage in the playoffs was last year. At the age of 36. Around Babbitt's age he was lighting up the nets year after year.

 

[Rhal]

When we come out playing so badly in the beginning making so many turnovers it never seems to stop until the fourth.

 

[magnifier661]

We are gonna lose this game

 

[Boise Blazer]

Halftime adjustments are what makes or breaks a coach so I will be curious to see how Stotts decides to use the Bucks aggressiveness against them.

Thank you!

Lillard back, lillard score!

 

[Rhal]

I HATE it when they go to the line for something ticky tacky. If you hear a whistle knock his ass to the ground.

 

[illmatic99]

Phantom fouls now

Amen. We've given up at least 4 and-1 plays already.

 

[Rhal]

We really need Lillard and Batum to both become more assertive scorers because they both make some dumbass passes when they don't want to shoot.

 

[magnifier661]

Phantom fouls now

Fouls go to the team playing more aggressive.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Everything looks so easy on Milwaukee's end, meanwhile we struggle to even get a clean look.

We need to give some serious thought to putting Nic as our backup PG (with Claver taking up the backup wing mins). He might be awkward, but he better than Nolan/Price.

If they kept stats for ticky tack fouls I bet we rank high. Drives me nuts

The point is even the best has slumps. Look at Ray Allen in the first two rounds of playoffs in 2008. Look at 2010 Finals. Was on fire in game 1 and then went in a massive slump at the most inopportune time

Yep

Dunleavy another Dukie (and Jesuit) alum...

 

[DUB]

Nice block by Sanders on Nic.

 

[B-Roy]

What the fuck was that Nic?

 

[magnifier661]

Omg embarrassing

 

[RoyToy]

That's Nic trying to be something he's not

Problem is the best can afford to have slumps. Those that aren't can't. Babbitt is playing himself off the team next year. Ray Allen couldn't have played himself off a team if he tried.

 

[magnifier661]

Lol another and 1

 

[KingSpeed]

At one point in 2008 playoffs, Ray Allen shot 3 of 24 from three point line. He was awful.

 

[Rhal]

Gotta hand it to the bucks for this half, we have sucked ass and they have figured out exactly how to take advantage of that.

 

[Rhal]

How does LMA not get that call when he is down low and being constantly hit by 2 guys.

 

[julius]

Interesting the inconsistent nature of the fouls called.
