Exactly. The point is we have to put disappointing losses behind us and not freak out. The same is true for all fans, even for Bucks fans. That was my point.

Bucks have proven they can beat good teams consistently.. Dallas, Toronto, LAC x2, Jazz x2, L*kers, Houston, list goes on.

We, however, have not. Dallas? And if you want to include OKC then Milwaukee has beaten them too.

We have shown we suck against good teams, whereas Milwaukee has consistently shown up against good teams.

So yes, every loss sucks for us. Milwaukee can absorb an off night. We can't. That part isn't even up for debate, honestly.

It is of my opinion that if we had a 27-4 record and got blown out on Christmas Day by Philly, this forum would be full of people bitching about it. That's the way a lot of these posters are. Always something to bitch about.

In 2013-14 we were 24-5 when we played the Heat at home on December 28th. That's the game Bosh hit a deep wide open 3 to win by 1. The only complaint I had about that game was not guarding against a 3 pointer when up 2 since you lose if they hit a 3 but no I don't recall many people "bitching" about the team.

I was at that game and Aldridge had a chance to win it after Bosh's shot if he had shot off glass. I was devastated. It's weird to think of now because a 24-6 record is still good but losses sting more when you have a chance at regular season greatness. I don't remember how people here responded but I do remember the middle of that season was awful. The least happy I've ever been as a Blazers fan. We couldn't beat anybody. We ultimately had to win 8 of our last 10 just to get the 5th seed. After a 24-5 start!!!

If we're 27-4 losing one in december means nothing.

If we're 4-5 games under .500 and we have already proven we suck and need every win to just hope the team can make a few extra million so they can pay the tax... I mean, make the playoffs for 2 home games, then every loss is bad.

I know there are people that want to make the playoffs... and I'm usually for it every year. But this years team there is no reason for this team to make the playoffs. We're getting smoked by any decent team in a series. Literally the only way we win a series is if Dame goes for 55 each game. Since that's not happening, the playoffs are a lost season this year.

Next year, we're winning the championship, barring injuries, so there's that.
 
Ugh. Another national TV game, another loss with announcers complaining about our offense.
 
We are not as good as we was last year due the fact injuries has hurt and our bench has been non existent this year.

Tough loss against the Pels, but let's get back on the winning track.

This won't be easy, but maybe Santa brings the Blazers a late Christmas present.

This is a late start for Utah, so perhaps Portland can take advantage and catch the Jazzzzzzzzzz sleeping.

They are a 11-3 home team. We are going to have a tough time on their court. If Dame is cold, we are frozen.
 
Blazers last 9 wins have come against teams with a combined 87-165. My optimism for them betting an even decent team on the road is not exactly very high.
 
Another National TV embarrassment for the Blazers
 
This is a blowout win for the Jazz. If Dame shots 0/10 against the pels, then then I don't want to know how he's going to shoot against the Jazz, even with Conley out. Right now i have zero trust in Dame.

In his defense, he's been like this for awhile.

When you mention that you want Dame to shoot more just because this is what people mean when it's not necessarily the best strategy. You can't have it both ways.

It's not just a bad game, you know that Tortured, something is different with Dame this year. I know Blazersfan1977 was radical in his oppinion but he wasn't wrong at all

Yes i want him to shot more because the other options are more bad. I look at someone like Harden last year when Paul, Capela and Gordon were out, similar to us and Harden took his team on his back and made the Playoffs on HCA. I want Dame do the same

I kind of want him to force it less. They’re a better team when 3-4 guys are involved in the offense then when just him and CJ taking turns!

Dame's having the most efficient season of his career.
Dame's averaging 26.5ppg.
Dame's averaging a career high 7.5apg (next closest was 6.9apg).

So yes, he was wrong, and so are you.

Dame is a really good player but he’s not Lebron, James Harden, Giannis, KD, those types who can get theres whenever they want to because their all taller than him getting the shots off are easier. They can see over Trap easier than him, none of that means he’s a bad player but if you’re expecting him to take over and average 30-12-10 its not going to happen. He’s great at what he does but he’s a scoring PG, who is a good 3 point shooter isnt a great one like steph. He’s gonna need contributions from others, and thats ok.
