Game Thread GAME# 78: GRIZZLIES @ BLAZERS - APRIL 3, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[H.C.]

Yay, I get to watch an entire blazer game.
Fuck east coast start times.

 

[H.C.]

It's true. Head-to-head, Conley owns Dame.

I don't know how to look it up.
But I'd venture to guess Conley owns a lot of top tier guards.
Guy is excellent, I'd even go as far to say if Portland wants to trade CJ. Conley + 1st rd pick is not a horrible return.
Only injury concerns.

But I think Memphis is going to get better offers.

 

[Scalma]

Free Skal.

 

[KingSpeed]

Conley and Noah out. Hood starting.

 

[KingSpeed]

Jesus. Grizzlies starting Holiday/Rabb/Wright/Dorsey/Washburn. This is worse than Bulls.

So if we don't score 100 points in the 1st quarter the sky is falling?
Asking for a friend.

No Conley tonight? That's good for us. Go Blazers!

Conley is too undersized though. Him and Dame would be a great offensive fit and Conley could guard PGs, but any decently-sized SG would go to work on them. That's why someone like Jrue is perfect.

I think it's slightly better than the bulls, but I'm not going to fight you over it.

With the line-up the Grizz are putting out there, the Blazers need to step on them early so I get some Anfernee viewing time.

Yup. Should win by 50. Just can't let... *checks lineup sheet*… Bruno Caboclo go off.

 

[H.C.]

But you'll play him 1 on 1 in a best of 7 series right?

Just wait Dorsey is going to hit several 3's and people will say.
'I wish Oshley drafted him instead of x player'.

At least Bulls had Lopez

That's how everything on here should be settled. It's only right.

@BonesJones and I will be suiting up for the Grizzlies tonight....just so they have some bodies.

Sure, but Lillard/Conley can't be any worse than Lillard/CJ defensively.
I'd favor jrue over Conley simply due to injury history.
But I think Conley is by far the superior player compared to jrue.

Maybe I'm bias or not giving jrue enough credit. who knows.

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers! Get #50 at home tonight!

 

[BonesJones]

@BonesJones and I will be suiting up for the Grizzlies tonight....just so they have some bodies.

They're so injured we'd probably actually get some PT.

I think I'd go 3 for 17 from 3. What about you?

Just doesn't seem like enough of an upgrade to justify it IMO. Jrue is a better, bigger defender, and I think he'd be the better fit defensively. He's a 20ppg offensively right now. He's really solid.

 

[TBpup]

That means I would have at least 3 assists. I'm not the gunner you are...lol. 2-5 from '3'...with 11 assists and 1 'Aminu' turnover.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame with the most distracting shoes in NBA history.

 

[riverman]

I watched Dorsey play for the Ducks his last year there...forgot he was a Grizz

I wish y'all could see my passing in a full court setting. You'd be surprised! Y'all think I'm Melo or something

Got traded this year from Atlanta. Surprised they gave up on him so early. Cool that he and Dillon Brooks get to team up now though.

 

[Strenuus]

When Chandler Parsons is coming off the bench of THIS team..

That was such a save.

 

[BonesJones]

If we can't defend this team.

 

[BonesJones]

Hood likes starting.
