Game Thread GAME# 28: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - DECEMBER 12, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Scalma]

Trade pending.

LOL what’s a trade

 

[hoopsjock]

The good thing about this team is that you don’t have to watch 4 quarters. If they are behind after 3, you can already turn off the TV. It saves electricity so thank you Blazers.

Do you actually turn the TV off or just watch something else?

Do you turn the TV off if they are winning too? It's the same thing, they are 15-0 when leading after 3 quarters.

It's this situation where we give away a decent player with potential to another team for free or in some cases pay them to take him off our hands to avoid luxury tax payments.

Or give up two future 2nd round picks to acquire one 2nd round pick in which we use on a guy that won't see any meaningful minutes for several years anyway.

 

[Scalma]

I know this won’t happen but I’d play Trent tonight

Dame
CJ
Layman
Aminu
Nurkic

Stauskas
Trent
Turner
Collins

Stagger Layman with the second unit.

 

[wizenheimer]

And Jody Allen hasn't given the green light to seek a trade.

where did you see that?

 

[wizenheimer]

I hope we have an epic battle between Meyers and Noah this evening. By that, I mean, I want them to matchup, rub each other the wrong way, get chippy, and give us many many confused-rage faces. Inadvertent spittle would be entertaining too

by the way, Portland has lost 7 games in a row, on the road, against playoff teams by an average of 18 points....yikes!

 

[BonesJones]

We were down 17 on the road with 6 minutes left and we were still able to cut it to 5 and give ourselves a chance to win. I’d say they absolutely believe in themselves. There’s no quit in our Blazers.

Were 0-12 when trailing after 3 quarters, FWIW.

 

[BonesJones]

And Jody Allen hasn't given the green light to seek a trade.

Actually, it's been reported that she has.

 

[Labinot41]

I have lost faith in this team... but still Love my Blazers. Go Blazers !!!!!

 

[BonesJones]

I have lost faith in this team... but still Love my Blazers. Go Blazers !!!!!

See, I can vibe with this.

 

[BonesJones]

At an average of 36% swish3 conversion, the Blazers should attempt 137-149 swish3s this game so that they can score the required 148-161 points to win this game.

 

[THE HCP]

My sources down here in Memphis tell me that Conley IS playing tonight.

 

[THE HCP]

 

[riverman]

By the way, what’s wrong with Simons? Still listed as having an illness?

upper respiratory infection I read somewhere as of yesterday

 

[BigGameDamian]

My sources down here in Memphis tell me that Conley IS playing tonight.

Conley is very underated.

 

[THE HCP]

Conley is very underated.

Not according to his contract!

 

[BonesJones]

Great BALL MOVEMENT!!!

 

[Darkwebs]

7-0, Blazers to begin the game. This is the kind of start (wet) dreams are made of.

 

[JDC]

Great BALL MOVEMENT!!!

STOTTS REMEMBERED HOW TO COACH AGAIN!!!!

Kidding aside, sharp start.

 

[BonesJones]

I love how, if Stotts was coaching Memphis in that situation, he wouldn't call a timeout.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers off to a quick 7-0 start. Two nights in a row of good starts. That's a positive...

 

[James lamphear]

They need do that the whole game.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

7-0, Blazers to begin the game. This is the kind of start (wet) dreams are made of.

They started the houston game kind of in this fashion.

 

[DDolla]

Oh look we are leading in the first quarter, wait till the bench comes in.

 

[BonesJones]

That was a terrific pass by Aminu.

 

[TBpup]

Nurk has to hit that bunny.....too easy.

 

[BonesJones]

They started the houston game kind of in this fashion.

Why you always reading my mind bruh?!?!

 

[Darkwebs]

CJ loves to kill Memphis

 

[BonesJones]

Chief has been terrific in every facet early on.
