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

[Orion Bailey]

Like you are fond of reminding us, this doesn’t count because the better team was missing their star and another starter.

Right????

Man such double standards, lol. Come on MM, you are better than this. Make your posts great again!

Turner, by the by, was an impressive -21.

Some people seem to think Turner has started playing better. I'm hoping that he's raised his value enough that we can swap his contract this summer.

He's still in single digit PERs. Moving his contract without adding value is a pipedream.

That's all down to how mean LeBron will be when he demands to be traded to us.

-Stotts is a fraud, should kick at least 40% of his salary to Dame.

-Baldwin has one of the weirdest dribbles iv'e ever seen, it looks like he's skipping and hoping together with the ball, kinda looks like a small Greek Freak lol.

-Aminu lost it. It's again painful to see him play.

-It's kinda funny that Zach Lowe said on his podcast last week that Memphis is one of the most blatant tankers out there, he said they're just letting random guys do whatever they want and they don't even do it do develop young talent. Maybe that's how you develop young talent after all?

-This team is still Dame,CJ and a bunch of placeholders. I have a bit of hope for Collins though.

Get real. I like Collins, but Nurk is on the verge of being a top tier center. Collins is quite a ways away from being a starting PF. And I like his upside.

Ummm Nurkic? He has been playing great!

 

[Blazers Roy]

I really want to like Nurkic, but he kills me sometimes with his missed shots from 2 feet and overall inconsistency. During many nights this year Davis seemed to be as solid or more solid than him.

He's young, i would like to see him return.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Get real. Nurk is on the verge of being a top tier center.

I need to get real??
So Nurkic is on the verge of being as good as Anthony Davis or Embiid or Cousins? are you sure?

Please go ahead and watch these guys play.

 

[Mediocre Man]

They had a guy playing his first game with the team score 21 pts....their roster is filled with guys trying to stick in the NBA....they weren't trying to lose from what I saw...they played hard

Isnt that what i said?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Like you are fond of reminding us, this doesn’t count because the better team was missing their star and another starter.

Because Memphis and us have the same talent.

We have caught lots of breaks. The Griz arent looking for breaks

 

[riverman]

Isnt that what i said?

I don't know..mm...but I don't think they were playing to lose that night..they were playing for jobs next season

 

[stampedehero]

MarShon and Dillon Brooks earned their pay with the Grizz outpacing Baldwin's debut.

I watched Dillon Brooks play in Eugene many, many times...the guy ain't tanking for anyone...just like Jordan Bell in GS..that Ducks team was tough

How dare we take advantage of breaks. Bad, Blazers! Bad!

I'll enjoy your backtracking to this comment, but I'll say it anyway: If we lose, we're not a good team. If we win, it's because of breaks.

I'll make sure the space is clear for you when you're backtracking.

Impossible to backtrack from something I've never said. Please show me where I said either of those things. You're making shit up to stir the pot.

We are a good team. We have caught a lot of breaks, and because we are a good team, we have taken advantage of that.

As I originally said, while the players aren't trying to lose, the team is.

It's a bad loss when a team fighting and clawing for the 3rd seed loses to Dillon Brooks, Marshon Brooks and Chandler Parsons. They have the second worst record in the league.

 

[stampedehero]

Well, at least OKC lost and for special Blazer fan pleasure GS took another loss.
