Game Thread PLAY-IN GAME# 1: GRIZZLIES VS BLAZERS - AUGUST 15, 2020 - SATURDAY, 11:30, ABC

[Darkwebs]

WE'VE ARRIVED.

 

[julius]

I think Phoenix and Memphis have a lot to be happy about.

 

[DDolla]

Wooo how about Melo and Nurk

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Say what you want about Melo, but that motherfucker’s been a stone cold killer in the final five minutes of games!

Maybe we should just play him last five minutes of each game?

 

[GhostOfPGA]

LETS FUCKING GO!!!!

#BEATLA

CJ is criminally disrespected on here. He’s such a gamer in the games that matter most.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

What do you do after your team rallies to make the playoffs as an 8th seed?

“We’re going to Disney World!”

 

[PCmor7]

I never doubted we were going to win this, even down in the 4th. Usually, if anything goes wrong down the stretch I think it's over, but today I just always had a feeling we were going to pull this out.

 

[Almir]

Yeeeees! Go Blazers!

YESSIR!

Suns n Grizz have nothing to be ashamed of in this, both teams have seemingly very bright futures.

i hope we murder the living shit outta the LeBrakers

@Darkwebs

make the lakers thread!! Let’s go! 20 years in the making for revenge!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Fuckin' Tolliver was +21! WHERE WAS THAT ON THE BLAZERS, ASSHOLE?

Maybe you're not a millennial because you're on a computer, tablet or smart phone... someone just asked you a question you don't know and you still don't know it. Most millennials google shit, that's not an insult it's just my experience. So if you were born before 1980 you're not a millennial, if you were born between 1980 and 1994 you are a millennial and if you were born after that the you are generation Z (if you are not 8 yet I am both impressed you're in here and a bit disturbed to be honest and you are Generation Alpha, which I'm betting is subject to change).

I guess I'm one of those lazy millennials then. Haha

 

[Darkwebs]

Bye Memphis

Was thinking the whole last 5 minutes - THIS is why you keep CJ! Players who don't get rattled when the stakes are ridiculously high are worth overlooking some flaws.

 

[riverman]

HELL YEAH!!!! Great game to watch....I watched Dillon Brooks play for the Ducks many times...dude is for real..man Nurk beasted on fumes tonight and when Melo needed to make a 3 he sure as hell made a big one....CJ played his heart out and took us home. Damned proud to see this team with a chance to crush the Lakers in the first round! Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!

 

[kjironman1]

7-2 in the bubble.
That is .714 winning percentage.

 

[tlongII]

Where are the CJ haters now?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I guess I'm one of those lazy millennials then. Haha

we don’t want you, FAMS!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Memphis loses despite shooting 56% on threes and out-rebounding us by 10. We had 19 more FT and five less TO.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Game ball to Nurk, no questions asked.

I only tuned in the last few minutes of the third quarter and he had a pretty shaky run for a while there. I was honestly surprised when I saw his +/-.

 

[Shaboid]

No lie, I shed a tear today. As someone that has lost a grandmother in the past year this was one of the gutsiest performances I've seen. Props to Nurk and the rest of the team for picking up their teammate. I can only imagine sitting in a locker after that and how emotional I would be.

BRING ON THE LAKERS!

 

[noknobs]

CJ to you haters...

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

We'll be back, don't worry!

 

[theprunetang]

Damn.

I'm in the same boat. I'm so happy for Nurk.

Now then, it's time for the upset!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I've always liked Slo-Mo - glad he's found a home. He had a couple of costly turnovers late, but he was +10 overall.

Where are the CJ haters now?

They are getting ready to eat lunch
