Sabonis was never an All Star was he?

If he came when he was in his prime he easily would have

 

[KingSpeed]

Shaq is out of his mind.

Yeah lol. Hey, you enjoying this one?

 

[HailBlazers]

Shaq is out of his mind.

Hey man Sabas was pretty smooth from three.

 

[maxiep]

Sabonis was never an All Star was he?

He was. I don't remember the year, but he was.

 

[KingSpeed]

He was. I don't remember the year, but he was.

I don't think so

 

[HailBlazers]

Sabonis was a Superstar.

 

[craigehlo]

Meyers is playing great but I don't think that should be fuel for throwing the other guys under the bus just yet

Meyers almost has more points in a half (13) than Rolo does in the first 3 games combined (16). You got to get it done in the playoffs. No excuses.

Sabo's 3 pt shot reminded me of Laimbeer's...a line drive with no arc at all

 

[maxiep]

Yeah lol. Hey, you enjoying this one?

It seems like we upped our intensity. I think just breaking the seal on Memphis and winning one stinking game will make this a real series. If we win tonight, I'm confident we will return to Portland 3-2.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

The bucks are doing it, we may as well too. Blazers in 7

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Its really nice to see nards doing well. Keep it up!

Who needs arc when your arms are higher than the rim during a jumpshot?

 

[craigehlo]

I think AAA is a great bench player. Would like him back. He was put in a hectic position almost right away and got hurt. I hope he is back.

For 8 million a year, i think we could get better return on our investment than what he's shown (pre-injury).

 

[Jade Falcon]

Does anyone know when Conley is expected back, or how long he's out?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Haven't we been pining for these changes? Iknow Conley being out is part of it, but this crew is playing inspired.

 

[riverman]

Great first half..I needed to see us put back to back good qtrs together!

 

[craigehlo]

how do you enjoy a game?

I enjoy the game. You have call out dudes not contributing in the biggest game of year though.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Leonard not only hits the 3 like Sabas but hes showing he can do some pretty nifty passes. if we see no look alley oops from the legend in second half im going to streak down the street with pinwheel shaved in my nuts

 

[MickZagger]

Does anyone know when Conley is expected back, or how long he's out?

Could be a week, could be a month. From what I've heard.

8 million for a really good bench piece/injury insurance is fair. Every good team has a guy like that.

Nice!

I think he's out for the entire series

 

[riverman]

They were saying they had to go under his eyeball and push out the bone then pin it with a titanium plate..I don't think he's coming back anytime soon

I was the sole vote for Leonard "goin off'" in this thread's poll.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

If we win this game who is down to go 'Celtic Pride' on Marc Gasol after the game?

 

[magnifier661]

If we can pull this off, when in Memphis, we may make history

 

[Jade Falcon]

I think he's out for the entire series

Whoa. Good news for us.

I came close but ended up being the sole guy who picked Nico
