Game Thread GAME# 7: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - NOVEMBER 6, 2016 - SUNDAY, 12:30 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[Strenuus]

The Memphis commentators are shocked that McCollum gave Conley about 15 feet of room on that buzzer-beating 31-foot shot. They said they didn't understand what McCollum was doing.

Almost everyone in the world thought that was dumb.

Except hurd. lol.

You guys are crazy re: the D on the 3. You would be pissed even more if he would have gotten close enough for Conley to draw the foul with time running out. And you know they would have call it.

It wasn't 15 feet

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It was only a .5 sec difference.. milk that whole clock essentially

Leaving 5 seconds for the Grizz was way to much time

It was actually like 4.4 seconds, not 5.

 

[riverman]

Tony Allen made a clutch 3!!!!! FIRE THE COACH!!!

Then you make them call it. You pressure that ball 100 times out of 100. It's a no brainer.

Tons of time

Tony Allen, with the best box score stats per minute of the half, suffered a right hip injury and is questionable to return, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

 

[Sinobas]

I thought the game started at 3 for some reason. If the Blazers win, I'll watch the 1st half on replay.

 

[Pinwheel1]

No ....you make him make the shot. Yes Conley has improved his 3 point shooting but what he did there....he won't do very often. What he is good at is blowing by people and drawing fouls.
The D might not have been great, but it wasn't that bad.

 

[Sinobas]

Worried about that finger. didnt look good

I don't think this team could win a game without Damian.

 

[Strenuus]

LOL @ CJ's "defense"

 

[riverman]

Gasol is becoming a 3 pt shooter?

 

[julius]

not exactly the start to the 2nd half that I hoped for.

 

[LuckyShot]

Maybe it's just me, but we look lazy. Low intensity and not much heart.

 

[blue32]

I don't think this team could win a game without Damian.

They lookin' tired.

 

[Tunchi]

This Blazers team is trash man

 

[BonesJones]

Our defense is shit. So many wide open shots given up this half

 

[Tunchi]

Terrible ass defense

 

[Tunchi]

Our defense is shit. So many wide open shots given up this half

We're just not that good

 

[BonesJones]

LOL @ CJ's "defense"

It's lazy defense.

 

[B-Roy]

It just looks like they aren't even trying.

 

[chzbrgr]

damn CJ wtf

 

[riverman]

I think these really early brunch road games are always kind of clunky

 

[PDXFonz]

CJ just got schooled while playing the "You're not gonna make that" defense.

 

[Tunchi]

Aminu is trash, Harkless ain't that good, our defense is beyond respectable, all we have is a star and a bunch of scrubs

 

[julius]

Maybe it's just me, but we look lazy. Low intensity and not much heart.

They had a solid start, and then it's like something happened and they're like intimidated/stupid.

 

[BonesJones]

We're just not that good

Uhhh no, our defense is spotty. Our offense is good. If Lillard was having a normal game we'd be tied and that's with Gasol shooting insanely well.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Tony Allen took a 3pt shot, that's great defense. Just unlucky he made it.

 

[jlprk]

RotoWire carried the report from the Memphis reporter that Tony Allen wouldn't return. He's making shots in the game right now.

 

[julius]

Portland sure seems to have the ability to make so-so teams look significantly better than they are. Shame they can't do that to themselves.
