Doc Rivers never disappoints 😂 His ATO’s is an at all time high. I don’t see anyone outcoaching him Y’all 👏🙌 Some of his coaching brilliance: ✅ Calling a timeout instead of play on (not only Portland can set their defense , no timeouts after that) ✅Down by 3 they didn’t put all 5 shooters on the play So what Billups do? Foul Giannis Lmao 🤣

[@Cell9074]

They've been doing that for a while now. Big head mfs. Griffin said it was because Giannis has been shooting the free throw "confidently" during the season. In that Sacramento Kings game he said this we only won due to the luck of an overtime Lillard buzzer beater in an overtime we probably wouldn't have been in with a better free throw shooter than giannis. What a bunch of morons who gives af about his "confidence". Be humble.

As a blazers fan. If you want to beat him, go at him on defense, seriously, as a former season ticket holder I’ve watched him give up 30-40 a night to the other team point guards giving up layups, he really sucks at defense. If bucks loose in the playoffs, it will be to an eastern conference guard lights them up. Calling it now, Miami will beat bucks in the playoffs in a gentlemen’s sweep.

They need to replace Beasley to Portis in those last mins, and Brook may hit more 3s than Lillard but he can't make it on buzzer, so he should put his ego to the side.

[@leonardallen5522]

There should be no wild ending even possible with Bucks vs Blazers, yet here we are. Down one jacking up a three was probably not high IQ ball. Dame was cold so get the ball in GA's hands and let him get to the rim. Also feel like Brook is a bit jealous of Dame's addition, he isn't getting the looks like he did before, so he goes hero ball and tries to piss all over the homecoming. Even if Dame went 1 for 20 from 3pt the whole game, I'd still want him taking that last shot. I have my doubts about this team. Thought Bucks would be so much better but the chemistry is a long way from fluid, both ends of the court and it's late in the season for that, regardless of coaching changes.

[@ethandavis5838]

It’s actually sad you have dame and Giannis and you don’t space the floor and high PNR… like that’s what u thought of soon as this became a thing and they don’t do it… they involve Brook Lopez in the action more than Giannis… giannis isn’t a floor spacer. Literally muddies up the paint when he isn’t being used

[@leonardallen5522]

@@ethandavis5838 I’d like to see the % of PNR used to this point. I’ve seen it used a few times but not with the regularity you would expect. Is this some sort of secret weapon they don’t want anybody to figure out until playoff time? Sad strategy if so. Dame and Brook seem to be more connected with picks and dives to the bucket than dame GA.

[@darkdevil1669]

Lillard and Middleton don't work well together. It seems like Kris wants to be the point guard and never passes back to Dame. Rivers needs to tell Kris give the ball to Lillard and score off open shots. You just can't have Lillard wide open behind 3-point line and never pass to him. Maybe Middleton should not start till he realizes he can't be hurting Lillard's game.
