How fucking stupid is Beverly?
Isn't he tired of being Dame's bitch?

Apparently not.

This is why it isn't over until it's over this season.

After their loss to the Lakers, the Memphis grizzlies are getting hammered by the Phoenix Suns and are down by 19 points right now. This is the Phoenix Suns without Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton, with the normal starting lineup for Memphis.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

HA! Inject this into my veins!

 

[DDolla]

Hey Nurk, go watch Eubanks

 

[blazerfan11]

Lillard is playing like we have been hoping for him to play.

 

[B-Roy]

Eubanks > Nurk

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Ha!
This team plays so much better without Nurk.
I ain’t hating. Just telling the truth.

 

[TBpup]

Hey Pat-Bev, what do you think of that shot?

 

[James lamphear]

45-13 quarter and they put up 71 for half.

 

[blazerfan11]

I wish Lillard could be this good passing to his teammates every game.

Easy to see the chemistry between him and Anfernee Simons could be deadly.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Eubanks plus 14 in 10 minutes, Nurk neutral.

Now he is up to plus 25! And, no i don't think this will wake Nurk up. Not sure if that is possible.

 

[ehizzy3]

That was awesome!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well that escalated quickly

 

[TBpup]

45-13 2nd quarter. OUT-FREAKIN'-STANDING!!!

To do it against the Lakers? #PRICELESS

 

[riverman]

This is an unexpected gift tonight....it just doesn't get any more fun than crushing the Lakers on honor Shonz day! Go Blazers! Rip City Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cugel]

wtf happened? did Ant go off? I missed it.

 

[Chris Craig]

Fun quarter!

Any team with Westbrook is guaranteed to shit the bed. Blazers were just leaving him open from three lol and he was air balling.

Pat Bev talking shit...I bet he doesn't have anything to say now. He poked the fucking bear.

 

[TBpup]

Doubles are wild!
Nas, Dame, and Grant all with 11.
Anfernee Simons with 22.

 

[Hoopguru]

Rip City Baby!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Now he is up to plus 25! And, no i don't think this will wake Nurk up. Not sure if that is possible.

 

[Chris Craig]

wtf happened? did Ant go off? I missed it.

Everyone did

 

[Irish Trader]

What did they put in the water bottles at the end of the first quarter?

 

[riverman]

wtf happened? did Ant go off? I missed it.

22 in the half

 

[DDolla]

We are up Big but watch out when Nurk start hitting those 3s

 

[crandc]

That was fun.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Can we have some replays of how awesome Russ is?

 

[riverman]

Grant is really important...Josh Hart had 6 dimes

 

[James lamphear]

50 percent from the 3 19 assists and only 4 turnovers pretty impressive for this team.

 

[blazerfan11]

Ha!
This team plays so much better without Nurk.
I ain’t hating. Just telling the truth.

The team plays better when they are able to push the ball. I don't think that's a Nurkic effect. He's not a primary ball handler.

 

[illmatic99]

nassir completely changed the complexion of this game.

 

[PCmor7]

Now THAT is what this team is capable of. I know it's only the Lakers, but still.

This team needs to run. It needs to generate most of its 3s off drive-and-kick or ball rotation. It needs to attack the paint and get to the line a couple of times; that opens up the arc even more.

3-pointers early in the shot clock without a pass aren't usually acceptable. But this, THIS, this is perfect.
