Game Thread GAME# 53: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - FEBRUARY 8, 2016 - MONDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Jade Falcon]

Would like to see some defense inside. You know....if only we had a 7-1 Center who could guard properly....

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

My all time favorite pt guard ever

As a true PG, I agree. But Dame is #1 for me now, given he's technically a PG.

 

[Darkwebs]

Crabbe is automatic with the pull up midrange jumper

 

[riverman]

This is in Memphis favor. Half court basketball. I don't like it at all.

when exactly has half court basketball not in Memphis favor...it's sort of what they do..what I like is we're toe to toe with them doing it

 

[Strenuus]

We beat Memphis by 19 earlier this season.

And lost by a bunch, too.

And hey, Memphis is not at full strength, so it shouldn't matter, right? We aren't as good as the win if we do, since they weren't at full strength. Can't have it both ways.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Z-Bo is one of my favorite non-Blazers. It helps that he was my favorite blazer for a couple years too.

 

[Strenuus]

I don't like that cj isn't playing great in this game but where is tunchi? The biggest lillard hater of them all.

He said he'd show up... he was here at the beginning of the game, but nowhere since.

We aren't at full strength either.

ZBo is maybe the most underrated PF in the game..the dude is a smart player

 

[Darkwebs]

Hendo is killing our tank!

 

[Strenuus]

I love CJ but I feel like he really needs a PG on the floor to help him out when we take Dame out, Frazier isn't the answer though. I would love to see us get a legit backup PG.

Frazier gets minutes, and he sucks... wasnt there a poster saying he could be an all star?

 

[Cippy91]

I like how Gerald is playing. Part of me wonders how much he loves Kobe though, his shooting form is even like his.

 

[Strenuus]

We aren't at full strength either.

Vonleh.... Gasol... one means a TAD more than the other.

 

[Sinobas]

Fuck Harkless, learn how to make free throws. You're a professional basketball player.

 

[Strenuus]

Maurice Harkillingus

 

[Cippy91]

I hate how harkless just doesn't try at times. It's like watching batum. A guy who has so much potential but doesn't capitalize.

 

[BonesJones]

Harkless has no touch

 

[Darkwebs]

Harkless likes to miss the easy shots: lay-ups, dunks, free throws.

 

[Denny Crane]

How much $$$ is @HCP going to lose on this game?

 

[BonesJones]

Hey guys Meyers sucks

 

[Sinobas]

Break away fast break and we get 0 points. It doesn't make sense that it's not a clear path just because a guy gets near the rim.

 

[Strenuus]

Hey guys Meyers sucks

quoted for truth.

 

[KingSpeed]

My all time favorite pt guard ever

Dame?

That's what I was gonna say. His handles were perfect. I remember being in awe of his ability to dribble effortlessly without ever losing the ball, like he had the ball on a string. His court vision was equally amazing and he was a good finisher at the rim as well. The only weakness that I remember was he didn't have a dependable outside shot.

He cost the Spurs Game 7 in 1990 playoffs. We were down in Game 7 and Rod (who played for the Spurs) threw a stupid over the head no look pass and we ended up winning the game. So we have Rod to thank for us making the 90 NBA Finals.

 

[Darkwebs]

Gerald gets no love from the refs.

 

[Darkwebs]

4 team fouls on the Grizzlies. Time for the refs to swallow their whistles.

 

[Cippy91]

Why does aminu think he's a catch and shoot guy? He's better at the three this year but the way he shoots it, you would think he shoots 40 percent from deep

 

[Sinobas]

Portland just can't fucking win in Memphis, it wouldn't matter who is injured

 

[Cippy91]

It's a damn shame that dame isn't recognized as an all star and gets no calls in the paint meanwhile harden can throw his arms up, get 14 points a game just off the line

 

[riverman]

Memphis defends pretty well....I'd give them some credit rather than falling back on.....such and such sucks..enjoy the game!

 

[riverman]

Portland just can't fucking win in Memphis, it wouldn't matter who is injured

Yes they can
