There was a moment in the 3rd quarter they zoomed in on Khris on the bench and he blew out a deep breath and had the look of a man who knew he didn't have anything anymore. Shit.
I do not know if you are not allowed to talk about it but from watching games for DECADES it’s obvious when the refs are allowing one side to play more aggressively on D than the other . When you are on a back to back down two rotational players tired to begin with and then realise the refs are not going to allow you to play close aggressive D on the other team it’s demoralizing. Khris , Taurean , and AJax all had two fouls on them in the first quarter . Not only that the Blazers did get to play very aggressive D . Not getting called for the same things the Bucks were . I feel you two often ignore the important role the refs play in losses. I get it’s against NBA code to talk about the refs but ignoring it does not mean it does not exist either !
Yep. Same damn thing happened against the Knicks last time. We're one of the most physical teams in the league, and when the refs take that away from us... it never looks pretty
This is an excellent observation. I'm not one to complain about officials, but this game was called one sided. The refs allow the Blazers to attack and be the aggressors and every time the Bucks attempted to stand their ground they were penalized.
This is just not true. Giannis was goin and doin it up but the defense jus got better for Portland..and for some reason the offense was ran horribly..dame didn't shoot the 3 in the second half barely.
When the other teams defense gets to play more aggressively it affects the bucks offense as well . They have to work harder to get shots and then their Rhythm gets disrupted.
I feel bad for Khris. His legs don't work anymore. He'll always be my favorite Buck of all time, but it's pretty evident that the end is near. They need him in the post-season. It may be best to only play him every other game. Health is far more important than getting in reps
I was going to say this in the last episode even after the good Khris game. Let's not call this the big 3. Khris is not what he used to be. He'll have good games here and there (kinda like Payton Pritchard) but he'll have many off games too.
I don't understand why Dame is so passive against his old team. He should come out guns blazing, ready to show them why he left, but yet his impact on the game was marginal aside from a little spurt in the 2nd quarter
Hard to do when Giannis just wants to put his head down and run towards the basket with three people on him damn would literally have to just start jacking up shots, which is hard to do also when they meet him at half court. There was no ball movement and rebounds that’s why we lost.
Dame was faceguarded from the inbound, Camara's main role was to be Dame's bestfriend. There were no creative plays off ball to help both Giannis and Dame. The way we scored was not organic lets be honest. Everybody was one step behind on defense - and the fouls.
@ that’s because you can’t look at the big picture. How about this? Why don’t you just listen to what the coach said start there and open your eyes there’s been 100 players before like him on teams that never won championships or have one just one.
Thank you for answering my question in the chat y’all. With Dame being traded to the bucks. It has been really fun to watch this team. I’m rooting for the Bucks to win the championship.
Damian Lillard has been 😭😭 against the blazers since he got traded to Milwaukee. Dudes shooting like 38% from the field. Brook Lopez and Khris have destroyed my team 🙆🤔😭. Idk who has to do a better job of giving Khris the ball. Middleton brings up the ball a lot. Or maybe we just have to be honest and say the Bucks need to get rid of Khris. I think he's definitely hurting the Bucks big time. The fake NBA media would annihilated Khris if he was playing elsewhere but he's good since he plays with Giannis.
The West is just so much better and it has been for so long. It sucks being a fan of a rebuilding west team when you would easily make the playoffs if you were in the East but instead you’re one of the worst teams in the West.
Clearly Khris game is effect from all the Trade rumors and it’s been that way the minute we left on West Coast road trip.. Seem like Giannis & Dame tried to get him to not think about it … Just return to his killer instinct on the court. Second game it worked ..you can tell something was different, more aggressive and his was back … But last night , mental back to back with all that is heavy on anybody. You drift to different things. As hard as you try not to think about it… But personal responsible over rule ..’ What city am I moving my family too “ .. I’m sure because he is human this will effect his game
If anyone can seriously believe this team, the way it is constructed, has a legitimate chance to win a world title, I'll be happy to take any and all bets. This team is OK but not even close to being a championship level. Can they be competitive in a series? Definitely, can they run the gauntlet and win it all, no chance. Khris is broken down and it's foolish to think he's anything more than a nice luxury that can have good games from time to time. Would Khris is a starer in BOS? Brown, Tatum, Jrue, Kristap, Horford, White, that's 6 before you might place Khris in the line-up.
In my opinion, yes. Bucks just need to tweak some things, but I believe if everyone is healthy they can compete with any of the championship favorites. I think the one thing that the team needs most-of-all is frontcourt versatility. Personally, I’d like to see Bobby, Pat, & MarJon moved for Kelly Olynyk, who’s a much more versatile frontcourt presence from a matchup perspective than either Brook or Bobby which helps lessen concerning vulnerabilities, and an athletic tweeter who’s able to offer some wing + frontcourt defense (in a pinch) while signing Ryan Rollins to the 15-man roster. The 8-man rotation becomes: Dame Green Prince Giannis Brook Khris [6th Man] Gary Kelly 9th Man: Andre [Unique Sub] 10th Man: Ryan Deep Bench Depth: Johnson [PG] Delon [G] Chris [F] Tyler [PF] ? [F/C] Just need this team healthy and gelling come the playoffs and I feel pretty good about their chances. Kelly helps solve two of the biggest defensive weaknesses that I perceive - (1) teams that can effectively expose Brook’s mobility issues on defense while not being equally punished by being too small on the other end of the court, and (2) Bobby’s inability to protect the paint and rim effectively on defense + any emotional rollercoaster concerns.
On paper lopez better than Porz, Giannis better than Tatum, Brown better than Prince, Dame better than White, Holiday better than Jackson, on bench Portis better than horford, prichard better than green, trent same as hauser. So yes the Bucks can beat the Celtics if hitting 3s in streaks.
Boston is a more ordered team than we are. They’re not starting guys like Andre Jackson Jr and Taurean Prince who are good but not ideal championship starters if anyone is
@@Cell9074there starting a pretzel in porz, just blow and dunk, holiday has aged this year. White,Tatum and brown all want to be goat- they got issues.
For the trade pod: would you do Marjon for Reath followed by Khris Pat and Bobby for Lavine, Craig, and Horton Tucker. Attach whatever picks to make them happen. I’m almost certain the numbers work and it gets us under the second apron but would still need to open a spot for Rollins
Hi, im a bucks fan but a noob at tactics.. Why Liam Robbins is not playing when you need a Big man in the court? And why only 4 man rotation? too many heavy minutes on the team.. i mean Doc is not trusting the other guys?? put big men, put fresh legs, at least for 3-4 minutes, thats how you get everyone involved, you got extra rest! Doc wake up !
Why is Portis still out? His name always in bad trade rumors and out for personal reasons. Rivers should be playing Tyler Smith. Lopez is playing too many minutes. Middleton should have never been benched for 2 fouls- let him get 6 fouls in first half if that's his best defense or way refs calling game - he's on limited minutes. Rivers and his 10-man staff need to be fired. Dame was having a layup drill in first half, why did he stop?
I love Khris to death bucks legend but bro there were certain possessions last night where Khris had the ball and the team cleared out for him to work and he didn’t really look to score. There’s been several possessions last night where he didn’t look to score, same with the clips game. Now we can turn a blind eye and say he didn’t have touches but the same Khris Middleton we saw in the Utah game aggressive asl to score should’ve been the same last night. He just doesn’t look right or confident at this moment.
Gianni’s stats sometimes blind what’s going on..lack of stops… rebounds… lack of ball movement…, lack of looking for players with a better shot and that’s on Gianni’s and dame we looked Old and tired. Same goes with Portis and lopez they don’t always look for someone who has a wide open 3 Pretty much sums up our team right there.doc was 💯
@danielcantrell9227 Hasnt made the Bucks better has he? All he did was give the Celts another title when they added Jrue. The delusion of Bucks fans crack me up more!
There was a moment in the 3rd quarter they zoomed in on Khris on the bench and he blew out a deep breath and had the look of a man who knew he didn't have anything anymore. Shit.
it was more like thanks for treating me like a cripple- but part of me wants to play
Yup I saw that too it was a sad scene for sure
What about Dame
Locked on Blazers listener here, love hearing the other perspective 😂 it’s crazyyy.
Also thanks for giving us credit Camille !

He came out and shot 3 3 pointers in the first 3 minutes and made 2 of them. Portland made defensive adjustments and he wasn’t able to get good looks
@@danielcantrell9227lol blame the guy who had 39 points at 70% efficiency and the only one who actually could rebound? Sure makes sense….

After Marjon hit his 3 I don't think he got another touch the rest of the game

On this episode of the Scott Foster show the NBA is a horrendous product
It's obvious khris can't move anymore...time to move on
Without Giannis this is a bottom 2 team. Massively disappointing game to watch. Khris was rubbish tonight.
Losses like these that shows us Mikwaukie is not a top 4 teams in the East lol
I think Middleton time maybe up and I will be sad 😢
Is that the way Khris plays defense now?? With his HIPS??? 🙄😪
The Bucks were gassed at the half, and Khris and the missing guys were no help.
It was clear when Khris was kept on the bench for a long time that he wasn’t going to be any help. I think he was both fatigued and in pain.
is this team a championship team?...
