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

Pretty funny reading the doom and gloom early in this thread.

Remember the scene in Fiddler on the Roof when the ghost of Fruma-Sarah curses Tevye?

Heard the ghost of Paul Allen was spotted in the Rose Garden..

It was a doom and gloom first half. One of the worst halves all season.

Oh by the way... Mark Mason is simply the Best!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Kanter looked like he really enjoyed his intro.

Good win fams. I wish we had this Turner the day he got here, but as they say....it's better late than never.

Don’t worry he’s going to be a very attractive expiring contract at the deadline

 

[Darkwebs]

Wow! Blazers allowed the Grizzlies to score 30 points in the first quarter, but then limited Memphis to 30 points in the entire 2nd half. That's how you close a game!

 

[Labinot41]

Great win Fams. 50 wins OnTheyAss

Holler when ET gets a 20/20/20 game

Turner has 2nd triple-double, Blazers beat Grizzlies 116-89
Evan Turner had 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists off the bench for his second consecutive triple-double and the Portland Trail Blazers reached 50 wins this season with a 116-89 victory over the short-handed Memphis Grizzles on Wednesday night.

I think Dame wants one judging by the look on his face as Turner is sitting next to him telling him about his back-to-backs.

You must have missed his interview with Brooke. Said he's not normally one to chase stats but after Turner's ribbing he just might and we'll all know why.

50 is great but I’m celebrating after we win a playoff series

How about a playoff GAME?

He's trying, Jennifer.

Yes it was. I was focused on watching the "improved ball movement" that I keep hearing about without CJ from the starting unit, and I couldn't help but wonder what good it is if no one can hit a shot, or even get an easy shot. And I don't really count Kanter's put backs as good ball movement.

Thanks to Dame this team is over achieving again. (Winning 50 is amazing) And the improvement of Zach, that we have been waiting for is exciting to see. But we know the trapping of Dame is coming soon and the only thing I can think of that might help is having Hood and CJ on the floor with Dame.

I read that line as "having God and CJ on the floor with Dame"

@Dan Marang had us possibly not winning another game this season last night on Outsiders.
There was a thread about that show on here somewhere. I read it and realized i had not watched more than maybe 10 mins of that show all season. So i watched another 10 mins and that is what i was listening to.

You can safely bet i probably will not spend another 10 mins watching that show this season.

I said that without CJ or Nurkic that every game could be a potential pitfall game and that the margin of error was horribly thin. I also said they would go 3-2 down the stretch- if you're going to complain at least get it right man

Can we complain about the show?

 

[THE HCP]

Can we complain about the show?

What show?

 

[HailBlazers]

What show?

Blazers Insiders.

That's why i tagged you. I was not just complaining. I was reciting what you said and giving you an opportunity to respond. But no. At one point you actually said all the rest of the games could be losses. Now i am not a video guy so i will not be able to post it here. But i can find it and go back and listen again if need be? I also gave you that credit by saying you said "Possibly"
