Memphis @ Blazers 01/24/2012- GAME THREAD

[Darkwebs]

Nice shot by Camby

 

[magnifier661]

If we protected the ball, we would have a 15 point lead

 

[Darkwebs]

Matthews gets major tunnel vision with the shot clock down.

Not just with the shot clock running down. He just doesn't have great court vision at all.

 

[B-Roy]

Grizzlies are better without Z-Bo. There, I said it.

No way. They have a lot of those possessions where they all just pass around the perimeter and someone tries to make a desperation drive. If they had a post player like ZBO, they wouldn't have to do that on every possession.

 

[jlprk]

Our offense is sharper than usual. Also good energy, but sometimes we have energy without sharpness. Tonight we have both.

 

[KingSpeed]

No they're not. He personally carried them to within one game of the WCF last year.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Taking the ball away is a huge part of Memphis' game you know.

 

[Darkwebs]

Huge 3 by wes

 

[Rhal]

LMA comes out and we can't protect a lead. To many hasty turnovers.

 

[B-Roy]

Felton has 4 turnovers. UGH

 

[illmatic99]

Moronic two foul rule

 

[Darkwebs]

Felton has 4 turnovers. UGH

He's possibly the most careless Blazer starting PG ever

Look at their record with him this year compared to without....

 

[magnifier661]

Man what the heck with these turn overs? Memphis must have good d

 

[B-Roy]

Right up there with JJack

 

[illmatic99]

1 fuckin shot in the quarter. FUCK YOU, FELTON AND CRAWFUL

 

[Nikolokolus]

Memphis is totally bailing our guards out by fouling them on the drive.

 

[B-Roy]

Forcing turnovers is a HUGE part of Memphis's defense. But the Blazers are doing abnormally bad in that department today.

 

[illmatic99]

we can't win just going to Aldridge all game. He can't score the necessary 90-100 points.

he got ONE SHOT in the quarter after going 5-6 in the first.

 

[Darkwebs]

Felton has more turnovers himself than all of the Grizzlies combined

 

[B-Roy]

Felton has more turnovers himself than all of the Grizzlies combined

Aggressive Felton = Turnovers galore

But an unaggressive Felton is also useless.

 

[magnifier661]

Gotta say that Memphis has some awesome pressure d. They are really quick getting their hands on the ball.

 

[KingSpeed]

he got ONE SHOT in the quarter after going 5-6 in the first.

He has 16 efficient points and we're winning. No worries.

 

[Nikolokolus]

That Lionel Hollins guy can coach a little bit.

 

[illmatic99]

He has 16 efficient points and we're winning. No worries.

ONE SHOT. How is this not bugging you? Guard play and decision making is awful as it has been this whole year.

 

[Nikolokolus]

ONE SHOT. How is this not bugging you? Guard play and decision making is awful as it has been this whole year.

Because Crawford was taking those shots.

 

[magnifier661]

I will say our defensive rebounding is pretty spot on tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

Nate needs to fuckin run a play for Nic. He has touched the ball like 3 times in the last two games.

 

[ABM]

That Lionel Hollins guy can coach a little bit.

He was well trained.

Oops, sorry.

 

[KingSpeed]

ONE SHOT. How is this not bugging you? Guard play and decision making is awful as it has been this whole year.

We're winning and not forcing anything. You can't ask Aldridge to do it all. I'm not bugged at all. All I care about is winning not the number of shots one player takes.
