Game Thread 2023-24 Game #6 - BLAZERS VS GRIZZLIES - NOVEMBER 3, 2023 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

Everything about Memphis is unimpressive to me. JJJ just doesn't affect the game the way that he should if he's such a good defender.

 

[Natebishop3]

GET THE FUCK OUT BANE!

 

[B-Roy]

Ayton >>>>> Nurk

 

[Natebishop3]

Jerami Grant is the CJ McCollum of forwards.

 

[illmatic99]

toumani starting at the 3.

<3

 

[Natebishop3]

Ayton >>>>> Nurk

It's not even close.

tank it, trade everyone, rebuild around Bane

 

[Chris Craig]

Scary as hell watching Jerami dribble the ball.

 

[LayneStaley]

Ayton is so much better than Nurk. We ripped Phoenix off.

 

[B-Roy]

So Toumani is the starter now right?

 

[illmatic99]

Chauncey had enough of Matisse lmao

defenses just sag in way too much with him on the floor. if he doesn't space the floor, in this lineup especially, he becomes a huge detriment.

 

[Natebishop3]

Scary as hell watching Jerami dribble the ball.

And you just know he ain't passin it.

Aminu vibes

To be fair they sag on Toumani as well, he just makes up for it in other ways.

Also a better defender

Camara better hit his shots or they'll do the same thing to him.

 

[blazerkor]

I know he just gave us the lead but Jerami is so incredibly inefficient as a scorer. Dude just needs to score within the flow of an offense and not force shit so fucking much,

 

[Chris Craig]

I was super pissed when Billups let them play on when down 11, but then they came roaring back. Dumb luck, or wisely letting them play through? The world may never know, but the smart money is on the former.

Sometimes you gotta let em play, but that's a dangerous game to play when you are down double digits.

 

[n0cturne]

Grant has 11 shots for 10 points and Ayton has 5 shots for 12 points.

Grant shoots the ball way too much. Just a black hole every time he touches it.

 

[illmatic99]

Also a better defender

he cuts and crashes the boards even if they do. and he doesn't hesitate to shoot.

Very true.

 

[Natebishop3]

Ayton AND Camara.

 

[LayneStaley]

I like Camara but he needs to make a couple of those 3s

 

[EGame]

I love when Sharpe goes after offensive rebounds, he does whatever he can to keep it alive, which led to the sweet and 1 for Camara.

 

[Chris Craig]

I know he just gave us the lead but Jerami is so incredibly inefficient as a scorer. Dude just needs to score within the flow of an offense and not force shit so fucking much,

He takes a lot of wild shots. Just get to the basket and put the ball in. The fancy shit just loses us the ball most of the time.

 

[Natebishop3]

God it's hard to turn off the desire to win.

Especially against this team. I have hated Memphis for a long time.

 

[Natebishop3]

SHAEDON!

 

[blazerkor]

Ayton only on the bench because of some bullshit calls against him.

 

[Natebishop3]

It's so nice having bigs that can rebound.

 

[Natebishop3]

Brogdon has been cold tonight. 3-11

 

[MickZagger]

Like we just play so much better defense.
