Mismatch

[PtldPlatypus]

We destroyed Memphis earlier this year. I don't fear them either.

We're 1-2 against them. Their style destroys us.

So obviously in this game, we...didn't care?

That's right. Gotta work on staying focused against bad teams like Memphis.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

That's right.

I'm willing to bet the players would disagree with that assertion.

See my addition to that post.

I'm thinking they would disagree that memphis is a bad team when they are 1-2 against them. Just a shot in the dark there.

So THAT'S why you think we'll whoop the warriors tonight; because they won't stay focused against a team 8 games under .500. Makes total sense now.

One of the losses was by ONE point and Meyers Leonard didn't play.

So, do we get like, half a win?

Or do we just make up excuses?

We're whooping the Warriors because we're better and they know it.

The point is when we have our whole team and are motivated, we DESTROY the Grizzlies.

Didnt we have the whole team back the last time we faced the grizzles?

I mean, Dame came back that game....

Exactly, Dame was rusty. At full force, we destroy them.

 

[Driew]

If Curry is playing we will not win. If he sits then sure maybe.

If Curry sits, it's because he is a coward.

So, an excuse. Got it.

 

[BonesJones]

I can't take it. So much homerism

 

[KingSpeed]

Not an excuse, a truth.

This song is dedicated to blazers believers everywhere:

 

[Strenuus]

Want to know the best part? Conley barely played (26 minutes), and they still kicked our ass. Conleys back was FUCKED up. And their team still DESTROYED ours.

It's the truth.

Memphis is a BAD matchup for us. Just like YOU say that we're a bad matchup for GS... we aren't, but that's what you say.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Kingspeed is the resident super homer, but if we lose a game he might tell you that the "season is over." So I wouldn't worry too much about it.

You spelled at least one word wrong in this post.

 

[Driew]

If Curry sits, it's because he is a coward.

Hasn't he been nursing an ankle issue recently? He's missed a couple recently.

Or they could circle the wrong player haha

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Hey Dan,

Blazers have a myriad of fans with a wide spectrum of beliefs. Some of us more homer types believe with thick rimmed glasses that we are better than our current record. Some of us may be wrong in that. Some of us think that we are worse than our record and they may be wrong.

Check the win prediction thread and see how wide of a spread us members have the blazers. Some say 40-50 wins, some say 10-20 and many are in between.

This thread is NOT a joke because it was created by one of the most die hard fans I know of and he does NOT mess around with the positive mentality he has for the Blazers and I love him for that!!!.

The place I live was built from taking money from people who think like this.

We destroyed the Grizzlies when healthy and you refuse to acknowledge it.

Nope. Shin injury.

 

[KingSpeed]

Blazers have scored more points than Grizz in head to head this season so no, they're not a bad match up for us.

 

[Strenuus]

We destroyed the Grizzlies when healthy and you refuse to acknowledge it.

And you fail to acknowledge they destroyed us without the Grizzles being healthy.

Looks like we're at a stalemate.

They didn't destroy us. We were within 8 with 4 minutes to play and only lost by 13. We destroyed the Grizzlies 115-96 and led by as many as 26 that game. We KILLED them. They were never in it at all.

LOL. LOLOLOLOLOL. And you say I miss points.
