This game can get ugly real quick. Can we just rest Dame and let’s just beat the Cavs and the Bulls?

 

[hoopsjock]

Dame officially OUT this game.

Simons and Whiteside are both Questionable.

Wait, so who starts at PG? Melooooooo?

 

[Labinot41]

Will there ever be good news for the Blazers?

 

[BBert]

Milwaukee?

I fear the worst.

 

[santeesioux]

Will there ever be good news for the Blazers?

Maybe we'll win the draft lottery!

 

[THE HCP]

My 2 predictions.......
Tolliver will start at PG and the 3 ex Blazers on the Bucks will combine for 100 points!

Good, rest him on games we can’t win. Now comeback and beat the Cavs and the Bulls. 3-3 road trip

holy shit....there have been about 2 seasons worth of WTF in only 15 games

I suppose this could just be waving a white flag in a nearly unwinnable game, but I wonder what's up with Simons?

LOL, if this continues I will start getting very excited about the draft thread, gotta go with the flow

 

[Titan]

We have to out tank the Warriors. You know they will use their pick to get a difference maker to add to that roster when it gets healthy. It would be best now to have the better pick.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Should the Bucks rest Giannis this game? Divincenzo could EASILY drop 30 points today.

 

[stampedehero]

oh boy....Melo defending Giannis....what can go wrong?

 

[KingSpeed]

Wait, so who starts at PG? Melooooooo?

CJ and Hood play 48 minutes

 

[stampedehero]

Ya, maybe we will be lucky and they will put Mario or Tolliver on him.

and also get this>>>>>

 

[Chris Craig]

Loss

 

[TBpup]

Spread is Bucks by 11.5.....hmmm.

 

[DDolla]

I hope we don’t lose more than 48 points like the Warriors last night.

 

[Chris Craig]

Might as well just give them the W and fly to Cleveland

 

[noknobs]

Middleton is out. Man we get lucky playing all these teams without their good players.

Edit: Might be a good night to finish binging Jack Ryan

 

[Scalma]

Whiteside missed shoot around. If he’s out, we’re fucked butttttt it would also mean minutes for Moses.

 

[illmatic99]

Spread is Bucks by 11.5.....hmmm.

lmao. Easy money, we're about to get massacred on National TV

 

[Reep]

Whiteside missed shoot around. If he’s out, we’re fucked butttttt it would also mean minutes for Moses.

I would love to see Little, Hoard and Moses get some real minutes. We are going to lose anyway, might as well get some real PT for these guys.

 

[DDolla]

Just rest Dame, Melo. CJ and Hassan and let all the kids play.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Spread is Bucks by 11.5.....hmmm.

Time to download that oregon lottery gambling app...

 

[tester551]

Spread is Bucks by 11.5.....hmmm.

Considering putting money on the Bucks - huh?

Thread on Damian Lillard back injury: He says he is hopeful to return Saturday at Cleveland. "I would be doing a disservice to my health if I just went out and played. It will stick around. Where we are now, the best thing is to get healthy, then we make our push," he said.

Lillard said the origin of the injury dates to Nov. 12 at Sacramento. When he flew home, he had "discomfort" in his plane seat. The next night, he received treatment before game with Toronto, but he said back was tight whole game.

Two days later, when team flew to San Antonio they had practice after they landed, and Lillard said he could never get loose during the entire practice. Then, before the Spurs game he knew his back was officially a problem. "I was warming up and I remember I was just real slow.''

Warming up before Spurs game he couldn't bend knees and get lift with his shot. As the team went through lay-up line, Lillard said he had a heat wrap/vibration vest under his jersey. "Then in the game I was limited. I couldn't move well. But it wasn't in my mind to sit."

He played 40 minutes at San Antonio and 35 the next night in Houston. "In Houston, I was still real tight. I just knew I wasn't comfortable, or where I wanted to be.'' Says he has been getting massage, acupuncture, stretching. "I even did an Epsom salt bath,'' Lillard said.
