This team is boring to watch unless dame is killing it. The best highlight tonight only was possible because of a gasol mistake.

Every Memphis game is boring. I went to a game at Moda vs MEM a few years back and took my Pops. Both of us found it a chore to sit through. Nothing has changed.

Ugly stat of the night so far:

Meyers has more points than Dame/CJ combined.

That and the blazers ALWAYS have pace dictated to them

 

[James lamphear]

8 turnovers in the QT not good.

 

[JDC]

Just like the last match up, Memphis loading to the ball like crazy.

Portland opened with a few missed open 3s then starting forcing passes into tight windows which sparked their offense.

Gotta hit open looks and Dame has to be sharper with his decision making or this is going to be another slog offensively.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

What? We were starting hot, even in our bad losses.

Last game someone was literally complaining they had seen this hot start before. Im thinking people are looking for a reason to be unhappy lol.

 

[Darkwebs]

What a Zach attack there!

 

[BonesJones]

That roll lmao

 

[illmatic99]

Ivan Rabb and Dame have some history

 

[Strenuus]

Ivan Rabb is gonna go off. lol.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame couldve played with Klay at Washington State lmao.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bench on fire again

 

[VenomXL]

Grab a rebound. Seriously.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Great rebounding....

 

[illmatic99]

Grab a rebound, Meyers

 

[TBpup]

Raab outworking the Blazers for offensive rebounds. Boxing out is a lost art.

 

[Strenuus]

Whats a defensive rebound?

 

[chzbrgr]

We need an elite rebounder all our bigs are weak on the glass

 

[Strenuus]

Meyers hardly ever gets a rebound in traffic lol.

 

[Darkwebs]

Ed Davis would've grabbed at least one of those boards

 

[KingSpeed]

The Brooklyn Nets have won 7 in a row.

 

[trailblazer18]

Grab a rebound. Seriously.

That possession was like a college team playing four guards and one undersized big, can't get rebounds, and always giving up second chance points. Frustrating.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

The bench plays well, like they have tonight they can play with just about anyone. When the bench plays bad its all on Dame or CJ to have big scoring nights and that is their only shot. The bench is holding their own in fact their actually doing well. So thats all good news for the Blazers. Especially now that they took the lid off the basket from defense. Memphis has to extend on their shooters.

 

[James lamphear]

Stotts need put foot in bigs ass about getting the defense rebounds.

 

[KingSpeed]

24 bench points

 

[Jade Falcon]

Oh look at that.....our 6'2" high school kid is in a suit.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Raab outworking the Blazers for offensive rebounds. Boxing out is a lost art.

Its been both ways ML and Zach have made plays on or around the offensive glass too. Boxing out really is a lost art!

 

[chzbrgr]

I’m sick of the aminu harkless pairing offense goes nowhere defense is still mediocre

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk wtf was that

Do you want to hear their atats from December? Both are shooting over 48% from 3 and over 55% from the field. Try again.
