Game Thread GAME# 64: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - MARCH 5, 2018 - TUESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

And this is why I don't have much confidence in this team. Our coaching is the biggest hurdle. I understand this team was tired and was lacking energy but if coaching was sufficient this is a win. No adjustments from coach per usual.

This coach gives out season/career highs to opposing players like candy on Halloween.

Paul George will drop another 40 on us next game... ugh!

 

[Strenuus]

Relax they just went 5&2 on the road.
Dame usually doesn’t have 5 turnovers in a game.

For a fun fact: Dame has had 83 games of 5 turnovers or more.

 

[Labinot41]

conley with a career high lol of course

Lol 40 is a bad career high for a guy at his age

 

[Rhal]

We just let the Grizzlies shoot the 5th best from 3 they have all year. Conley shot his best % from 3 all year long and he did it on 7 attempts as well as giving him his career high in points at 40(I may be wrong on this one but I couldn't find a game where he scored more then 38 before this one). Delon Wright tied his career high with 25 as well. This was an embarrassment of a game, even at the end of a long road trip we shouldn't have lost this one. At least OKC lost tonight as well.

Yep. How many players is that against us this year? 7?

 

[B-Roy]

They finally put Moe on Conley with 2 minutes left in the game.

A bit too late for that, Terry.

I take comfort in knowing he'll be fired when we get swept in the 1st round.

What are you talking about? Moe was on Conley for most of the game. He could NOT guard him.

 

[James lamphear]

The difference is 20 turnovers for 20 points we wasn't sharp tonight and it might have something to due with the ending of 7 game road trip. But 5-2 is not bad and they play some good basketball on this trip so I am going to give thump up for this trip.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We were up 28-12 and they were fortunate to be that close. Insane.

Huh.....I thought I saw CJ or Aminu on him.

So unless we go 82-0, there’s something wrong with the team? Please. Stotts is coach of the month and we just had an impressive 5-2 road trip.

Yea he little bull headed about his defense scheme.

Nuh uh. I'm done making excuses for this team. End of a trip or not, this was a typical let-down game by Terry Stotts-run Blazers.

I hate that man.

 

[BonesJones]

Conley always owns Damian. Remember the Memphis series. Dame couldn't do shit. Dame sucks in the playoffs.

The series that Tony Allen guarded Dame modt of the time?

Get your facts straight.

 

[James lamphear]

Memphis is in the West and I don't care who you playing in West if you don't bring it 48 minutes a game you are subject to loose.

Let us know when you find where anyone suggested 82-0.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Man....if the refs and league weren't out to get us, we would have won easily.

 

[B-Roy]

Huh.....I thought I saw CJ or Aminu on him.

Aminu didn't spend a single possession on Conley.

 

[oldmangrouch]

After a 7 game road trip, I can understand why the starters look tired....but why the hell is the bench out there dragging their dicks in dirt? They haven't been playing enough minutes to look that lethargic.

 

[TBpup]

Let's be honest, Portland was doing fine until @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP made a game thread.

 

[riverman]

Sly has every year for a long time now

All his fault. Thanks a lot HCP

Not seriously

Well you got your opinion guy.

 

[riverman]

Shoutout to Conley...he beasted….40 pts...get the next one..Go Blazers!

 

[B-Roy]

Huge game on Thursday

 

[KingSpeed]

Let us know when you find where anyone suggested 82-0.

My point is some people post as if no loss is acceptable and anything less than 82-0 means the coach sucks. Can we have a loss without saying anyone sucks? It’s just a loss. They happen to everyone. And the people who bash Stotts never give him credit when we win which is most of the time.

 

[riverman]

Not seriously

In fairness Kingspeeds post wasn't serious either

 

[Labinot41]

The series that Tony Allen guarded Dame modt of the time?

Get your facts straight.

Conley or allen, it doesn't matter, Lillard is very good but he's not elite, he's a 40% fg shooter in the Playoffs, and he get's lost under pressure By good defenders all the time, we saw it many Times in the past. The way he has been playing and shooting since two months or so worries me, when was the Last time he had a high scoring Game?

 

[riverman]

Dame wins way more endgames than he loses...we lost a game...deal with it folks...it'll probably happen again before the playoffs
