PG Portland: Loss

[TroyD92]

Guys, Horst is terrible. Only constructed the bulk of the roster that won the franchise's first title in 50 years and is consistently at the top of the league. I demand a GM who never makes a move that doesn't work out.

Typical response. You can praise him for making big trades and being active. You can also criticize him for squandering what little assets this team has. Dudes batting about .100 for impactful margins moves

I did not watch the game, how were Giannis' screens?

Did you see the trash contracts he inherited when he first got here? Henson, Delly, need I say more?

Why, Khris is and has always been better than Jrue. Even on one leg he was better.

The last two years of stats don't back that up. Mostly because injuries.

The stats that matters most (playoffs) back it up. Jrue is literally a role player today while Khris has been playing like an all star since his minutes have started to climb. How is this a debate.

Khris last 5 games.+10, -12, +24, -6, -3. Player bias based on the past. Khris is still a nice player but his limited moblity hinders him greatly.

How about DDV for Serge, Jae for 6 2nd round picks, how about drafting zero impact players, how about letting PJ and his contract walk for nothing.

[mediocrityrules]

I still can’t believe we started the final quarter with six straight turnovers. Five of them were from the two superstars too. Totally inexcusable.

IT was the most infuriating 3 minutes or so i've watched for a while. Giannis had 3 turnovers in the first minute and a half of the last quarter. Honestly Doc should have dragged him off the court and slapped him. And Dame with two of the laziest looking passes that were turned over (one because Giannis wasn't even watching the play).

We lost the game in those few minutes I felt. We could have come out hard to start the fourth, and we completely lost it.

I'm not excusing the lows. But you are conveniently forgetting/ignoring the good. GMs will always take risks, it's impossible to get every move right. But to see him put together a franchise that brought home a title (yes, he had Giannis which helps) is enough for me to be pretty damn happy with him

[mediocrityrules]

This year's Jrue, Grayson, and DDV would all look great with Giannis right now. Probably still not championship material, but better than what we're watching right now.

[Ron Swanson]

I just will not accept that this is the loss that causes half the board to lose it's **** mind lol. Seriously, wtf? This was pretty much the definition of a shooting-variance loss against a bad team that we would occasionally have during the Bud era, and it's like nobody has learned anything.

Horst has balls, I want a GM who is willing to make gutsy moves.

Portland crowd was key last night.

[DingleJerry]

Portland crowd was key last night.

Its crazy to say but the intensity on it felt playoff level, really weird for a reg season game vs a bad team. Just an odd situation due to the Dame/Por thing

Screens? Lol

I mean your not wrong but the D and point diff was way better under Bud. Seems like almost every game has been a struggle this year even against bad teams. Has the rest of the league caught up to us because of our age?

[RogerMurdock]

Swung some amazing deals and has had quite a few head scratchers.

So you're saying he is a professional sports GM.

We have a low bbiq team which makes it harder to win close games.

I think its time to move Khris to the 4 Full time when GA is off the floor

[James1980]

Someone called them fake screens. He comes up like he is about to screen then immediately moves off from it.

[Baddy Chuck]

We have a low bbiq team which makes it harder to win close games.

The Bucks have the most amount of "clutch" wins in the NBA this season, second on win % at 69.2%, with an overall net rating of +20.8.

[msiris]

Last night we took a lot shot very early in the shot clock. Does that bother anybody else? I feel that its too fast of a pase therefore creating very sloppy play. They even pushed it up when they dont have numbers.
