Just as I type that, the Bucks throw the ball away on two possessions and give up breakaway lay-ups in the span of 45 seconds. Now down 20-18.
Dame misses a breakaway dunk. Just lay the ball up
Completely pathetic first quarter by the Bucks. They give up 4 uncontested transition layups off turnovers. Lillard misses his breakaway dunk.
If you tried, you couldn't play worse transition defense.
Bucks now down 12. Getting the crap kicked out of them by a Portland team that is trying to tank.
Portland 57% from the field and 6 for 10 from 3.
Henderson was shooting 8% from 3 coming into the game. Heâs now 3-3 lol.
Down 17. Malcolm Brogdon eating the Bucks' guards alive in the second quarter.
Portis continues a terrible stretch.
Giannis with another missed uncontested dunk.
Down 16 at the half at home to the tanking Blazers. Give up 68 points. Terrible transition defense. No offense other than Giannis and Dame.
Portland 10-17 from 3
That was as bad of a 2Q defensively as theyâve had in some time
Down 23 in the third
Down 26. Blazers 12 of 19 from three.
Bucks go on a mini-run to get it to 16 and then Giannis misses two FTs.

Poor defense is a recurring theme this year. Everyone hits shots against them.
Idiotic basketball. Dame is rolling and Portis misses an uncontested dunk that would have cut it to 9. Transition layup on the other end. Then Giannis air balls a 3 early in the shot clock. Transition layup on the other end. Lead back to 15.
Portis has been awful the last two games.
If Griffin had any control, he'd bench Giannis for a few minutes after that terrible shot choice.

Griffin does call timeout and puts Giannis on the bench
Down 16 again.
Dame with back to back terrible passes. This is close to being over.
88-72 with 14 minutes left.
Down 13 going to the fourth. Portis continues to crap the bed.
Bucks putting pressure on the Blazers. Cut it to 11. Giannis misses a FT.
It's unbelievable how bad Portis has been in this game. He's basically unplayable, but they don't have anyone that can play behind him.
Bucks get it back to 9 after Portis takes three attempts to hit a layup
Lead cut to 1 as Portis finally snaps out of it. He takes a 3 that hits off the back iron, goes 6 feet in the air, and then falls through. Hits his next one and then Lillard gets a layup.
Giannis gets fouled - no call. Then picks up his 5th on a stupid reach-in. Back to a 3 point lead for Portland.
What a huge comeback!

Just trying to make it interesting for you ððĪð.....didn't want a boring blow out, now, did ya??
Yet another game they got down big and stormed back. Something about this team.

They are a great offensive team when Dame gets going.
They don't seem to care about playing defense until they fall behind. Some of it is personnel, but a lot of it is effort.
I donât like the fact they seem to start slow and get down by double digits but teams are gunning for them.
