Game Thread GAME# 75: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - MARCH 28, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

Eeek...

 

[TBpup]

Damn....Chief about crack the rim and the glass all on the same shot.

 

[JDC]

Good energy defensively by Baldwin. Kinda hops around though. Needs to cut that out or he'll be susceptible to get getting beat / committing fouls.

Still plays too upright overall. Good open space athlete, but not great in traffic vs physicality. Doesn't get very low with his handle either so for a guy that's decently quick, he doesn't consistently get all the way to rim and forced to take a lot of difficult floater range attempts. Becoming not a disaster shooting off the dribble would help too.

 

[BonesJones]

I would take Baldwin instead of Pat right now.

Same. At least Baldwin knows he's not a great 3pt shooter and can attack and distribute offensively.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This has been ugly without CJ on the floor - and we're still winning.

He's still a rookie in my eyes. Those are all things he can easily fix.

 

[BonesJones]

Chief, Turner, and Pat. The 3 brickateers.

 

[B-Roy]

ZBo, Roy and Pryz. That's a throwback.

 

[B-Roy]

Evan Turner loves sagging off shooters.

 

[H.C.]

CJ sat for a long time.

 

[H.C.]

sigh. 3 on nurk.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Baldwin is making Shabazz look like good summer trade bait right now!

 

[LuckyShot]

Baldwin is making Shabazz look like good summer trade bait right now!

That's just plain silly...

 

[Strenuus]

Baldwin is making Shabazz look like good summer trade bait right now!

So Baldwin is untouchable?

 

[B-Roy]

That's just plain silly...

It's silly because Bazz is a FA

 

[TBpup]

sigh. 3 on nurk.

I thought he got an earlier foul as well but the boxscore only has him down for 2.

 

[BonesJones]

sigh. 3 on nurk.

Papagiannis *clap* *clap* *clap clap clap* Papagiannis *clap* *clap* *clap clap clap*

2

 

[H.C.]

So they took one away from him?
Cool.

 

[LuckyShot]

Already more FTs than last night's game? lol

 

[BonesJones]

Not communicating defensively.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Memphis as scored 29 this quarter, with 2mins to go....

 

[TBpup]

Shabazz is shooting FTs on a drive/shot that Dame probably did 10 times last night....and not one trip to the line. #3BlindMice

 

[B-Roy]

Why does Gasol never shoot midrangers anymore? I remember he used to kill us with those.

 

[BonesJones]

They're not even trying to use Marc Gasol offensively... Nothing is being ran through him.

 

[H.C.]

Already more FTs than last night's game? lol

Lillard still has yet to go to the line tonight.

 

[LuckyShot]

Why does Gasol never shoot midrangers anymore? I remember he used to kill us with those.

Memphis is tanking. Hard.

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk should seriously get consideration for all defense. Just need a good Zach Lowe article to get the conversation started.

 

[LuckyShot]

Lillard still has yet to go to the line tonight.

He's got just as much chance of going to the line tonight as he did last night apparently.

 

[TBpup]

Turner: 0-5, 0 rebs, 0 assts, 2 fls, -10.
