AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! Damn you DarkWing......DAMN YOU!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Wow that is an awful team.

 

[KingSpeed]

Mo Williams was on the Bucks when I saw Aldridge hit the game winner in Milwaukee in 2008.

dude...i feel bad for bucks fans

 

[Darkwebs]

The Bucks have lost 5 straight games. They're going to come out with a purpose. I hope the Blazers don't take them lightly, especially since Milwaukee has owned us as of late

 

[3RA1N1AC]

kinda like the bucks court

 

[Elton]

This is a Gordon Gekko game.

the blazers used to be socialist marxists, always trying to spread the wins around

Forgot to add that the Bucks haven't played since Saturday, so they'll be well-rested and probably really prepared with a gameplan for us.

And the problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's wins. Errm

^You sure are laying the groundwork for a loss huh?

[3RA1N1AC]

blazers are 4 point favorites

vegas is drinking the kool aid

 

[Elton]

Seriously, this is one of those little noticed games that will mean a lot. Truly being greedy is coming out and slaughtering a weaker opponent when you could easily feel satisfied at the end of this road trip.

Win ugly at the very least.

 

[Darkwebs]

^You sure are laying the groundwork for a loss huh?

LOL. Not really, I just hope the Blazers don't walk onto the court, thinking the Bucks will just roll over and die.

They aren't feeling too bad. They will be one of the front runners for the wiggins sweepstakes.

Now they are "hitlers" killing the masses to control the world of basketball!

if they get randle they are gonna have some freaky big man depth

Yeah I'm not saying they become instant contenders, but they may have an opportunity to get a franchise player for at least 7 years.

 

[Draco]

Isn't Matthews from the area? I thought he always enjoyed playing well there.

I'm not concerned with a letdown, this Blazer team has shown effort every game, except possibly game 1. Sure all NBA rosters have talent to win on most any night but I feel better about this game than any since we had Sacramento at home. I'd say odds are 20-1 we win.

Mee – lee – wa – kay
Their only wins of the season came against Cleveland and Boston. Versus Cleveland, Gary Neil and OJ Mayo both went for over 20. And versus Boston, Milwaukee’s bench scored 66 of the team’s 105 points. They are a near worst in rebounding, points per game and even assists, but average defensively.

They’ve been struggling with injuries - Ersan Ilyasova was out with a sore ankle and didn’t travel with the team on their recent road trip. An MRI showed Caron Butler is out with a sprained shoulder, which occurred Wednesday night versus Orlando, and may miss the game versus Portland. Both are listed as day-to-da. (Edit: Sanders is still out with a broken hand) Needless to say, this team is simply not very good, and that makes them both beatable and dangerous.

Matthews match up with Mayo will be the one to watch. They both carried nearly identical stats last season, but in the 4 games they played against each other, Mayo (Dallas) torched Matthews from the field and behind the arc shooting in the mid 60 percentages across those 4 games. Even so, the Bucks aren't equipped to win a shootout, but they have had 3 days off to game plan for Portland.

The Pacers have hit the century mark exactly 1 time this season in 10 games (104 pts). It was against the Bucks.

where's Larry Sanders? Is he not on the Bucks, and isn't he injured?

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! Damn you DarkWing......DAMN YOU!

I already got dibs after the win streak is over. I get the next game, there was a vote!

 

[THE HCP]

Got into a fight at a bar and broke his hand!

Oops, forgot about him. I'll add him to the injured list.

Good news for The Blazers!
