Game Thread GAME# 68: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - MARCH 21, 2015 - SATURDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[EGame]

also CJ should have played the whole 4th over afflalo based off of today.

 

[Strenuus]

Really stotts? REALLY?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Meyers got to play against one of the best front courts in the league. He's going to watch film on this game for hours

Or stare at the mirror for hours getting his hair just right...

 

[Darkwebs]

Dammit. Got swept by the Grizz this year

 

[SlyPokerDog]

First season sweep of the Blazers in Grizz franchise history.

 

[riverman]

A true butt kickin'...be glad to get this trip over. Go Blazers and get healthy soon!

 

[DUB]

Well it was good see Lillard play like himself. He manned up and played like our second All Star.

I think that's one of the main reasons Stotts left Lillard in.

Making Dame play well/lead because Dame had no choice. There was no-one else on the floor who could.

Maybe we'll see a turnaround from Dame now.

 

[EGame]

i guess we are the only one who view this as a concern. it is a big concern everyone here is throwing up dame being gassed and hurt and yet are ok he played the entire second half in a game that was over regardless of how close we may have come.

That timeout at 1:15 should have been it... but he kept them in... it made 0 sense.

doesn't help much, we've needed to help lead a lot and more often than not, he hasn't answered the bell since january. He's needed to help Aldridge and to not much avail. Where was this against Orlando and Miami?

 

[MAS RipCity]

I think the problem with Lillard lately has been he's struggling to find the balance between getting his teammates involved and getting his own. When he knows we need him to score, he does. I think we need that Lillard the rest of the way.

 

[riverman]

We kept them under 100 pts

Yeah, but really he had no business being in the 4th. and god forbid some fluke injury would have happened in a game that again, was a loss no matter what. If that were to happen everyone would be on Stotts.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'm getting really tired of this losing thing.

 

[MAS RipCity]

The bright side?

Gasol is 30. Randolph will turn 34 in July.

The Grizz won't be a long-term thorn in our side.

 

[riverman]

DWright is playing Nico's spot mostly so getting him primed for the playoffs is good. Freeland looked good, CJ looked good. Meyers stunk it up and Rolo sort of mailed it in. Could be worse.

 

[EGame]

I'm getting really tired of this losing thing.

I claim you as the jinx. Just look at your name. Ducks lost the big one. Seahawks lost the big one. and now the blazers are losing in a horrible fashion. I found our new jinx guys! His name proves it.

 

[DUB]

We kept them under 100 pts

They only average 99 points per game.

Seahawks won the year before though... Ducks are gonna win it next year too (DUH!)

I blame your avatar...

 

[Strenuus]

Next two: B2b H/R GS and Utah.

It doesn't get any easier. Plus, PHX, DEN, PHX the next 3. Ugh.

but what about the Blazers. Only team I like

 

[riverman]

I'm getting really tired of this losing thing.

First 4 game losing streak, 4 injured rotation players, 3 of them starters. Only positive is DWright, CJ, Meyers and Freeland getting minutes. Stotts is giving CJ a shot at Blake's minutes and Freeland gives Meyers some competition for minutes.

I think we need to sacrifice 1977 members first born sons to win a championship.

 

[riverman]

They only average 99 points per game.

So we kept them average

Utah 14-4 in their last 18, and they spanked us last time we went down there. Thought it was an aberration but they've played everybody tough recently.

I don't see a whole lot of positives in your positives.

Batum 0 pts?! Wtf did he get hurt??!!

Yep. Utah has been a beast since Kanter left.

Yes.
