Game Thread GAME# 56: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - FEBRUARY 12, 2020 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Wade Garrett]

Only down 4 at half

This is a bad matchup...
Memphis is #1 points in the paint. They spread the defense so Hasaan is often going 1 vs. 2...(or 3)
Memphis is #4 in pace.
Portland rarely has a fastbreak, and their transition defense may be the biggest weakness they have..

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Only down by 4 at the half and we didn't play our best ball. I still think we win this game because we really need it.

I hope so; but our entire team needs to play like they want it.

 

[DDolla]

Yesterday we played great on the first half but only up by 2. This game is the opposite then maybe we can win this in the 2nd half

 

[Neil O. Shyster]

CJ is such a waste of $30+ mil per year

 

[James lamphear]

We did get 14 assist that not bad for in half. You know with all minutes some of these players have play lately they just to wore out right now. Not to long ago they was playing with 7 player this has to be catching up to them.

 

[wizenheimer]

Portland has a chance...they just need to not give Memphis a 4 minute run of fast break points. It digs a hole and gets Memphis and their crow energized

CJ is such a waste of $30+ mil per year

c'mon man...I don't like CJ and I hate his contract...

but he's been CJ tonight and not MeJ

 

[KingSpeed]

This is a carbon-copy of last nights game.

Last game, we were up 16 in the first half. So like not a carbon-copy at all.

We need to give the money to somebody. CJ is one of the best #2s in the league.

Okay Kingspeed, it wasn't an EXACT carbon-copy. Sorry. Should've said "the flow of the game is a NEAR carbon-copy".

 

[BonesJones]

Over/Under points given up in the 3rd quarter is 32.5 IMO.

33 would put Memphis at 100.

 

[B-Roy]

Terry grow a spine and bench Melo.

 

[BonesJones]

Message at half time "We gotta keep competing, it's a game of runs".

Message should be "Play some fucking defense".

 

[B-Roy]

At least they are starting Trevor on Jackson

 

[TBpup]

We need to give the money to somebody. CJ is one of the best #2s in the league.

I dropped a valuable #2 earlier this morning.....

 

[BlazerBeav]

Well a 9-0 run and we're right back to danger territory.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Whiteside doesn’t feel like playing today

 

[B-Roy]

Hassan wake the fuck up

 

[BonesJones]

Settling for poor jumpers out of halftime. Given up 7 points in 3 possessions. Yup, they didn't learn from last game.

 

[illmatic99]

hassan is a punk, man; and he's slower than dale davis

 

[AldoTrapani]

i hate this hassan

Lmao he’s checked out today

 

[illmatic99]

get melo out

 

[B-Roy]

Oh my fucking god no more Melo.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Carmelo needs to step up or sit down

 

[Wade Garrett]

I've been an outspoken supporter of Carmelo Anthony..
Crow Casserole for dinner tonight.
This is hard to watch..

 

[BlazerRx]

Melo has been terrible from 3 lately....seems like he is bricking wide open 3's a lot

 

[AldoTrapani]

Morant schooling Dame tonight don’t give this Memphis team a taste of the playoffs this year their going to be dangerous next year

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The graphics guy for the Portland broadcast is terrible. Takes forever to post the change in score, sometimes gets it wrong, sometimes has the wrong stats, I yi yi.

 

[BonesJones]

Calabro: Morant drives it into the lane and the big man is really helpless at that point, right?
Hurd: Yeah
Me: But... that's exactly how Stotts wants to defend the pick n roll...

 

[DDolla]

Hassan and Melo ready for that all-star vacation
