Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 4: GRIZZLIES @ BLAZERS - 4/27/15, MONDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), TNT & KGW

[blue32]

Bench Lillard, put in Frazier.

This time lillard is not the problem. It was Aaron and rolo

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Lopez is playing like a pissed off 9 year old who keeps losing to his dad.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bench Lillard, put in Frazier.

Lillard isn't the problem. It's fucking Lopez.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Ok aldridge got a blow we need the magic 5 the whole 4th. Let cj and dame drive to the hole with aldridge biebs and batum decoy shooters

 

[B-Roy]

Fucking take ROLO out he's too slow to do anything.

 

[e_blazer]

Played Afflalo and Roll way too much that quarter. Grizzlies don't even have to cover them.

 

[Sinobas]

It's illogical to not want an all star who is a top 10ish player. That being said.. I know how you are feeling.

Top 10 player? Don't see what LA has done to earn that ranking.

 

[Rhal]

These really feels like its over already since we haven't shown an ability to sustain a run against Memphis when they are leading. I'm still optimistic but its hard to stay that way.

 

[KingSpeed]

Raise your hand if you think we'll win this game.

 

[craigehlo]

Wow Lopez is the biggest liability in this series

He and AA are basically worse than invisible in this series. He lost of a lot of free agent $ over this series with his play.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Lopez is playing like a pissed off 9 year old who keeps losing to his dad.

Is it because he's blind? That would explain a ton of stuff on the court.

 

[MickZagger]

Bench Lillard, put in Frazier.

That's like benching Mike Tyson for Buster Douglas.

 

[santeesioux]

I really hope Affllalo opts out so they'll have that extra money to spend in free agency.

 

[Rhal]

Top 10 player? Don't see what LA has done to earn that ranking.

In fairness if we had Lebron on our roster you wouldn't see what he has done to earn himself the rank as the best player in the NBA either.

 

[MickZagger]

Stotts is gone.

 

[PCmor7]

Waaaaaaay too much hero-ball being played by the Blazers right now.

How many times are we going to fire up shots with no one in the paint to challenge for an offensive rebound?

LA a few minutes ago takes a dribble that did nothing to advance his position and fires up a 16-foot brick ... I think he's great, but that's something I would pull a kid out and explain to him you don't do when I ran our school's elementary program.

Memphis lives on grit and intensity. You have to match that effort, everyone on the team has to match it. Right now, we've got a number of guys who look like they think their offseason has started.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

That's like benching Mike Tyson for Buster Douglas.

Don't care, I'm fucking sick of these indecisive starters.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I really hope Affllalo opts out so they'll have that extra money to spend in free agency.

Not having to pay for AAA and Rolo would open up the options.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I have gave Afflalo a lot of crap as well but lets not forget that AA is basically playing with one arm (shoulder).

 

[Rhal]

Lee has been amazing for them but this will be the one series he does good, he won't show up against the Warriors.

 

[santeesioux]

Not having to pay for AAA and Rolo would open up the options.

He has sucked so much ass I don't think he will though, unfortunately.

 

[LuckyShot]

Wes getting injured might have been the best thing for his value in free agency.

 

[Rhal]

Holycrap they called a foul on memphis?

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Why is Lopez still in the game?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Holycrap they called a foul on memphis?

The refs are giving the Blazers a gentleman's raping.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

And we come out with steve blake and lopez. Even im starting to question stotts.

 

[LuckyShot]

Lee has been amazing for them but this will be the one series he does good, he won't show up against the Warriors.

Of course he won't. They'll probably actually defend against his tendencies rather than let him play to his strengths.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

He has sucked so much ass I don't think he will though, unfortunately.

I think a healthy AAA with a full training camp could be a good thing. Rolo.. I have nothing good to say.

 

[MickZagger]

You can just hear it in his voice.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Why is Lopez still in the game?

LA refuses to play? I dunno.
