Some post-game thoughts (Bucks edition)

(Sigh...):

• That was a tough one to take.  I like that the Blazers battled back to force overtime, but they really should have won that game in the first overtime.  That's going to be a long plane flight back home.
• There is no question that Brandon Roy is a clutch player.  He proved it again tonight. And if there's only enough time for one more shot, the ball should absolutely be in his hands.  That said, the Blazers are not a good overtime team.  I can't remember the last time they won in overtime.  It's been a LONG time.  And that fact alone strongly suggests that the Blazers' end-of-game strategy of turning the offense over entirely to Brandon Roy is not a good one.  You can't run isolations for an entire overtime (much less two).  You have to actually attempt to execute a normal offense.  Even the best players don't score at a high percentage in pure isolation sets.  They get tired.  And the refs are reluctant to call fouls on every possession, so they start swallowing their whistles, like they did tonight.  It's got to be more than the Brandon Roy show at the end of the game, or we're going to keep losing close games. 
• In that first overtime, LaMarcus Aldridge again demonstrated that he is one of the best transition bigs in the league.  He scored six easy points on three straight possessions, all in transition.  It's absolutely criminal that the Blazers don't take better advantage of his transition skills.  He should be getting 10-12 points off of those kinds of plays every game, at least.  
• Jerryd Bayless got a little more run tonight, and did well.  He had 9 points and 3 rebounds in 18 minutes, without his name really being called on any plays.  I'd still like to see him get more time.  It would have taken some real coaching courage, but I would have really liked to have seen what Bayless could have done in the second overtime.  Everyone on both teams was so tired at that point.  Putting fresh legs in the game could have really made a difference.  
• Though this road trip is over, the schedule isn't going to be getting any easier for the Blazers.  If they don't start clicking, they're going to be below five hundred very soon.
