Bucks Losing Streak Hits FIVE After 115-103 Loss to the Blazers | Any Silver Linings To Be Found?
Milwaukee Bucks hit a new low, dropping their fifth straight game with a 115-103 loss to the injury-riddled Portland Trail Blazers. Camille Davis and Frank Madden dissect the Bucks’ mounting issues—highlighting lackluster defense, persistent fouling, and a concerning inability to consistently generate offense (especially with Giannis sidelined).
Key conversations focus on Doc Rivers’ attempts to shuffle the lineup, if there are more offensive or defensive concerns, and whether there are any true silver linings during Giannis’ absence. Are the Bucks losing ground in the playoff race, or will a return to full strength reignite their season? Analytical breakdowns, candid concerns, and potential turning points make this a must-listen for Bucks fans hoping for a midseason resurgence.

Trade GA for Jeremy Grant straight up.
Dude can get to the line like AI
THIS TEAM IS THE WORST EVER.
If the opp misses a shot they foul them. If Bucks make a run they shoot themselves with moving screens.
Silver lining ? This is considered the best draft class in a while .. the bucks have their number one and the worse their record the better talent they get . So maybe this year is the rebuild year …
Without Giannis, I dread to think what the Heat and Knicks are going to do to the Bucks this week!
teams now have tape on rollins so he's no longer going to get a free pass. Let's see if he can work through this. Biggest issue will be his lack of strength which he could have worked on during the off-season but didn't. PS this is a bad team with or without GA.
Poorly constructed team. But good enough for Jon Horst to get extended. Doc gets a lot of heat but Horst screwed him with this lineup. Last year’s team was MUCH better! This is their worst lineup in years. Last year when Giannis was out we had Dame to take the lead. Previous to that Khris played like MJ every time he needed to cover Giannis’s absences. Giannis is historically great but misses substantial time every season. I’d rather have a playable SF on the bench than Thanasis right now. If we had a SF instead of a $20 million hole in the roster from Dame we’d be competitive. I think Horst’s decisions have hurt the team throughout his tenure but the historically big waive and stretch has doomed this team. Ceiling for the next few years is that 5 seed we had last year or worse.
Go get Anthony Davis do something to get Giannis a secondary player
Thank you giannis for everything . Gianni’s don’t deserve this . Blow the team up . Get a haul for giannis and start over or move to Las Vegas at this point
Green needs to plat much more like a guard, should try DRIBBLING the ball, and should stop trying to be this undersized forward. We play WAY too positionless.
We gotta take Miles out of drop and we gotta fire Doc – it's clear on offense that there has been no evolution at all. It's the same shit we've been seeing for years. High ball screen, try and create or DHO, get pinned on the wing sketch swing pass terrible shot. This is lack of gameplan and coaching just terrible. I don't understand how Frank can bring the negativity in any setting except when it comes to talking about coaching. Changing lineups is not coaching, I'm so tired of seeing this delusional man standing on the sideline bent over and then taking no accountability after the game. Defensive rotations break down multiple times per game, simple rotations, stupid fouls all the time, this is lack of preparation and nothing else.
EVERYONE ON HERE SEEMS FRUSTRATED!! YOU ALL NEED TO BE. BUT UNTIL YOU GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR ALL HERE VENTING AND STILL NOT MENTIONING JON'S NAME!! YOU'VE SEEN MY POSTS BUT YET STILL FIVE LOSES INTO IT YOU STILL DON'T GET IT!! YOUR EVEN SOME OF YOU LOOKING AT DOC THINKING HE NEEDS TO GO!! BUT MY POSTS ARE HERE FOR YOU TO VIEW WITH EXPLAINATIONS INCLUDED. I SAID NOTHING ABOUT DOC!! YEAH BECAUSE I WANT TO FOCUS ON ONE INDIVIDUAL AND THAT'S THE ONLY ONE ALL OF US IN THIS SECTION SHOULD GO AFTER!!THAT MAN IS JON!! HE'S HAD A GOOD RUN, BUT HIS TIME IS UP!! THE TIME IS NOW!!
Frank, thank you for be aware of you mic and not letting it scratch on your shirt!!
Hindsight we probably shouldn't have waived Chris Livingston 🫤
Maybe a malik beasley becomes available somehow..
It looks to me that this team is missing another piece or two ,iam sure they'll brings those pieces later come trade time ..Bobby in my opinion don't fit in what Doc is trying to do with this team , he can't rebound or defend when needed.
GD they are soooo awful. Just depressing. I was feeling such hope after the first few games. They just suck
Let's see the team as envisioned once giannis and KPJ come back. I can see giannis tearing through competition. If he carries the team for 60 games I can see us making the playoffs. That's our ceiling. No need to envision worst case scenarios that early in the season.
Everybody knows this team absolutely sucks with like Giannis on the floor!!! , especially with a terrible head coach
First foremost where’s all the calling for Doc to. En he’s at his absolute blatan worst? 🤦♂️
Second, yall really should get rid of this Frank dude. He’s basically insufferable to listen to
We need to be a defensive team. If you can’t strap youre situational. We should be having scores UNDER 110. Slow the game down. More plays instead of P&R reads. Win games on Giannis’ 60% shooting. While he’s out we should be seeing who can do what. I don’t mind losing to do that but to watch guys not be productive for 38mins is unnecessary Doc.
But… But… But… you got Myles Turner.
