GAME THREAD: GRIZZLIES @ BLAZERS 04.03.13 - 7:00 PM (PST)

[VenomXL]

Our defense is soft and porous as ever, allowing the Grizz to shoot a ridiculous 61% in the first half

They'll give up around 30 a quarter for the remainder of the season. Book it.

#Blazers G Damian Lillard has ice wrap on right shoulder. Sustained injury running into a camera in Atlanta. He's in pain. Says he'll play.

Tell me about it. We've given up over 100 points in each of our last 5 games, and tonight will be the 6th. Our defense has really fallen off since LMA went down

 

[BlazerBeav]

Memphis is all over Damian - they know we have limited threats right now.

 

[Darkwebs]

2 turnovers to start the 2nd half. Ugh

 

[B-Roy]

Lillard...what the hell.

 

[Darkwebs]

3 turnovers. Fuck!

 

[B-Roy]

Wow Lillard, stop telegraphing your passes.

 

[VenomXL]

Holy hell. Quit throwing lazy passes around.

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers 4 turnovers in 3 minutes to begin this quarter

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Why no Babbitt? At this point I wouldn't mind him just throwing up three pointers as he passes half court. Our offensive efficiency would probably improve. And it's not like our defense could get any worse.

 

[Darkwebs]

What a dime by Maynor! Threading the needle

 

[Pinwheel1]

Two PG's in at the same time and they immediately look better

 

[Darkwebs]

Maynor with a smart drop off pass to Leonard for the half hook!

 

[Rhal]

THX NBA TV FOR BRINGING UP THE 2000 WCF FINALS!

 

[VenomXL]

These passes are awful.

 

[B-Roy]

When will they learn to STOP throwing passes around Tony Allen.

 

[Rhal]

We look like the definition of an unenthusiastic team.

 

[Darkwebs]

Can't believe we've cut it down to single digits

 

[Darkwebs]

Meyers is heating up

 

[Pinwheel1]

Leonard has an impressive shot

 

[Rhal]

Leonard is looking great on the offensive end.

 

[VenomXL]

Big three from Conley.

 

[NOVoodoo]

Man, I wonder if Marc didn't get that call because he's a Euro and the refs assumed he'd flop or something. He may be a Euro, but he takes a lot of contact and really never sells it.

He just got away with an offensive foul, so it's all even.

I don't think it has anything to do with him being Euro, the refs probably just assumed it was a flop and didn't call it.

 

[VenomXL]

Maybe stop throwing stupid passes?

 

[Rhal]

Memphis seems to know exactly how to play Lillard.

 

[B-Roy]

Memphis seems to know exactly how to play Lillard.

He's being neutered by Bayless. That is unacceptable.

Bayless has always been a great defender, just was an iffy playmaker for us.
