Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 2: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - 4/22/15, WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), TNT & KGW

[Blazinaway]

Jesus. Dame. Wake up man

I have never seen him so lost, sorta shocking

 

[craigehlo]

Lamarcus Aldridge is the Portland Trailblazers.

Yep. We need to build a better team around him this summer. If he bolts, this is another 4-5 year rebuild.

 

[MickZagger]

This shit is hard to watch.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sad watching Aldridge take all the shots because Lillard won't shoot.

Very.. It's hella sad

 

[PTBfanEST87]

Damn Zbo is nice

 

[MickZagger]

jesus

 

[PTBfanEST87]

Wow this is hella sad

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm not even emotional anymore. I'm just...dead.

 

[blue9]

That possession was the perfect illustration of this series so far - one-on-one play, our players taking it personally and trying to get it back on their own rather than trying to play as a team.

 

[LuckyShot]

We get to watch 2 more games of this.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Shot selection. We waste so many possessions with terrible looks at the rim. Memphis' defense just amplifies these possessions because you can't fuck around on offense and expect to beat them.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Well Aldridge, it was nice having you on the team!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Well no lessons learned from last year. I'm fine with blowing the team up, keeping CJ, Meyers, Crabbe, and Frazier.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Why does it feel like every blazer gets quintuple teamed every time they touch the ball? We royally suck against the Grizz.

 

[Rhal]

This is the most depressed i'v ever been watching the Blazers. We look like we don't belong and I know were playing Memphis with 3 of our top 8 players out but still this is just embarrassing. I dind't think we could play worse then we did game 1 and we havent' but were pretty damn close.

That's kind of our offense aside from the drive and kick. Literally we have like 3 plays :-(

We forget how to cut and move without the ball vs the Grizz because of their screens.

 

[RipCityBlazer]

Yeah I'm speechless. This is a complete different feel from last years playoffs. They aren't even coming close to matching the Grizzlies energy. Wes Mathews is looking really good right about now...

 

[KingSpeed]

Well Aldridge, it was nice having you on the team!

He's not leaving. He never said I'll leave if we lose in first round. That was a media invention. He has already said he will sign with us. It is done. Stop with the bullshit.

 

[Boise Blazer]

How did we just stop moving ball like we did earlier in the season? It's hard not to feel like Stotts lost the team somewhere

 

[MickZagger]

Aldridge looked like he wanted to play dodgeball with the refs face after that sequence.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah I'm speechless. This is a complete different feel from last years playoffs. They aren't even coming close to matching the Grizzlies energy. Wes Mathews is looking really good right about now...

And Wright and Kaman and Afflalo

 

[blue9]

That's what I've been proclaiming, but some people just can't see what's plain as day. Terry Stotts is the offensive version of Nate McMillan.

 

[RipCityBlazer]

And Wright and Kaman and Afflalo

I was thinking in term of energy. Wes was the heart of the team and left his heart on the court. I don't see anyone besides LA doing that.

 

[LuckyShot]

Seriously, someone tell me what our game plan is for this series.

 

[Rhal]

Well if they shoot 70% from 3 they are winning the title this year.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bring in Frazier

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What time does the game start?

 

[blue9]

Meyers Valuable Player!
