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.
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.
On this episode of the Scott Foster show the NBA is a horrendous product

Is that the way Khris plays defense now?? With his HIPS??? 🙄😪
It's obvious khris can't move anymore…time to move on
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.
The bucks toughest opponent is themselves
Locked on Blazers listener here, love hearing the other perspective 😂 it’s crazyyy.
Also thanks for giving us credit Camille !
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
What wake up call, bells are ringing for a while now.
I think Middleton time maybe up and I will be sad 😢
For the billionth time. I hope Khris Middleton and AJ Green become starters on this team
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 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 !
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 💯
Khris just trying to kill all that trade talk….
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 !
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.
