The Grizzlies are a very good team at least their top players (if you consider Randolph as their 1st PF and also VC and Troy Daniels) but listen, the Blazers, if I try to be completely objective, have a really solid rotation, other than the backup guards section which is kind of weak, we have a solid starting lineup and some very good options on the bench. I don't know if this is the ideal rotation but it somehow seems to make more sense. The Grizz as I said are a very strong team, smart, good defensively, well rounded, experienced but they're supposed to be around our level when you look mostly on-paper and not the disappointing 1st half of the season. Should be an interesting game. Go Blazers

[Darkwebs]

Who's going to have the biggest All-Star snub game? CJ, Dame, or Conley?

 

[KingSpeed]

Parsons vs Turner!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Who's going to have the biggest All-Star snub game? CJ, Dame, or Conley?

CJ. I believe that he thinks it's his time. And he's going to show it.

Dame looks gassed and out of it. Not sure if he's going to go off on this team tonight. Perhaps against GS....maybe.

Where is everybody? At the game?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Good start. Plumlee needs to stop shooting jumpers though. And freethrows, lol.

 

[Strenuus]

Good start.

That's meant nothing most games, so lets see.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good start.

That's meant nothing most games, so lets see.

You had to throw in a negative.

 

[KingSpeed]

Fuck Gasol is good

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame!

 

[Strenuus]

You had to throw in a negative.

Negative... or reality? We've given up our fair share of leads, I'll exercise caution.

I need to exercise, anyway.
