Scottie Pippen Jr. is making Dame Lillard look like a G leaguer.
Dame has been pathetic. It happens a lot against good teams.
Pippen Jr is the best defender on the floor.
Another terrible defensive effort.
Bucks gave up 76 points in the second half.

He actually gives a shit. Taurean Prince and Dame Lillard played like they didn't care.
The Bucks should just declare Giannis, Middleton, Dame, and Lopez out for tomorrow night's game. The G leaguers have just as much chance to win at OKC as their full team does.
Getting outscored 39-20 in the 4Q isn’t winning basketball.
This team is almost impossible to figure out. Just when it looks like things are rolling they go into a complete tailspin.

Bobby Portis is not a good defensive player, but his absence the last 5 games has hurt them tremendously on offense and defense. Giannis and Lopez have had to play a lot of minutes the last 5 games because there is literally not another big man to even offer mild resistance on the defensive end. And Portis is a good rebounder, so the second chance points have hurt them too.
If Portis is available, they probably win vs. the Blazers and probably against the Grizzlies. Both Giannis and Lopez were gassed in the 4th quarters.
