Game Thread GAME# 77: GRIZZLIES @ BLAZERS - APRIL 1, 2018 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PDT), NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

Our starters compared to our bench... Lmao.

 

[joeBlazers]

$17 mil/season ... 17 points tonight. That's a solid outing, Mr. Turner !!!

 

[julius]

Pretty embarrassing that the "closers" had an encore.

 

[tykendo]

The law has been restored. "rip city!"

 

[BonesJones]

I mean our lineup was mostly our 2nd string so..

And most of their 2nd stringers wouldn't be on our team.

 

[BonesJones]

Where's Papagiannis?!?!?!?!

 

[TBpup]

Nice to see the starters be able to come in and restore order when they thought they were done for the night. That takes some mental discipline.

 

[julius]

Someone please tell Jake to shave those pork chops

 

[crandc]

Game over.

 

[H.C.]

Our starters compared to our bench... Lmao.

I think it shows how valuable Davis is to the second unit.

 

[BonesJones]

48-29.

 

[B-Roy]

The starters were all +28 or higher.

The bench.....let's not go there.

 

[joeBlazers]

Now that #3 seed looks more and more certain ...

 

[BonesJones]

I think it shows how valuable Davis is to the second unit.

Definitely does. He's the key to getting us interior shots. Without him, we settle a lot. Turner needs to be with that 2nd unit too. We miss Moe and Ed.

 

[TBpup]

Pat ends up a massive -24. Holy crater Batman!

 

[BonesJones]

Now that #3 seed looks more and more certain ...

Worried about San Antonio.

 

[EGame]

I love our starters come playoff time especially if Harkless is back. Turner on the bench with ed and collins would be much better. No faith in Bazz and pat atm.

 

[TBpup]

Worried about San Antonio.

Same here. They could pretty easily win out so Portland can't stumble. Must wins at DAL and DEN.

Use the fucking tpe to get a Good Player of the bench Neil

Still need to finish strong, but it looks good. Blazers really missed Davis and Harkless. You can see the difference, especially on the boards.

 

[DDolla]

Playoffs! Can we talk about Playoffs! Yes Playoffs!

 

[Scalma]

Connaughton and Napier with a combined 5 points hell yeah inject it into my veins.

 

[joeBlazers]

If we beat Dallas ... we are #3 ? Everyone has a tough schedule coming up.

 

[BonesJones]

Same here. They could pretty easily win out so Portland can't stumble. Must wins at DAL and DEN.

Ehh, I expect them to lose at least one. Portland would just have to beat Dallas and one of Denver, Houston (who isn't playing for anything), or UTA. San Antonio is the only team that can catch us, but it's somewhat of a longshot. We beat them, we clinch the 3 seed.

 

[BonesJones]

If we beat Dallas ... we are #3 ? Everyone has a tough schedule coming up.

Not quite. We don't have the tiebreaker with San Antonio if we lose to them because apparently it's head-to-head and then division winner for the tiebreaker.

You SCOUNDREL sir!

 

[tykendo]

Worried about San Antonio.

They have to be worried about us. If both teams have all their players back(Kawhi, them Davis, Harkless , us), I still like the Blazers chances against them.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Same here. They could pretty easily win out so Portland can't stumble. Must wins at DAL and DEN.

I think Utah, Denver, and SA are all potential losses. And we sure as hell aren't winning against Houston.

 

[TBpup]

If we beat Dallas ... we are #3 ? Everyone has a tough schedule coming up.

No. They can beat Dallas, then lose to HOU/SAS back-to-back on the road and then lose 1 of the final 2 games and SA could catch them by winning out.
