AA is injured, but I still like his tenacity

Rolo is a bad matchup, gotta get the Memphis bigs out of the paint.
 
We outrebounded them by 10. That was the difference. I'm still baffled as to why Leonard had 0 attempts in the 2nd half.

I love Rolo, but he did not pull himself out of the paint..you need some that can shoot, thank you ML
 
What a great ending, I still think batum should have got continuation on that 3 though

Stotts has to see this, right?

We'll know on Wednesday. I think it's crystal clear that neither Blake nor Afflalo should be playing. Based on the fact that it's our youngsters that have carried us to a win I think we should continue to let some young guys surprise MEM and give Frazier Blake's minutes and Crabbe Afflalo's.
 
Stats of the night:

Meyers and CJ were each +23 tonight
Arron and Rolo were -19 and -17, respectively
 
1 down 3 to go!

We now know it's actually possible to beat this team, even with our best player going 6-22.
 
What do I do with this?

And for the record, who among us would ever think of Z-Bo as a lockdown defender? Crazy. He has flat out shut down LA.

He could never have become this kind of player here in Portland. He had to get passed around like a pack of smokes to turn his life and his game around.
 
You do still have to play Rolo some minutes. Not sure you have to play AA at all though. And Blake? Haha. For sure you don't have to.
 
Nico and LA did a ton of dirty work defensively against the Grizz..they really stayed glued to their man all night

It won't happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing him retire here.
 
When CJ has room to operate, he's a great slasher and maybe the best finisher on the team. It's imperative that we keep the spacing going with Meyers if we want a shot at the Grind House.
 
Well... can't say the guys rolled over. They showed heart. I guess there's that. Will it be enough to keep LA in town? Maybe not. is body language was very telling tonight.... he's separating. He's holding himself back from full investment. That doesn't mean he's not giving 100% effort on the court... he just looks detached. CJ is fools gold. He's garbage time. Meyers, though... that guy has a future. Puts on a little weight and more muscle, he could be a force... maybe the Sabonis comparison isn't so far fetched. Sabas had freakish athleticism when he was young.

Game 5 probably will be the end. Sad. With Wes, this team might have made noise. But something in Lillard snapped around the ASB, and he hasn't been the same player since.

Lopez looks lost. Is he hurt?

Batum... I can't even. Superstar one night, scrub the next. Hell, different halves.

*SIGH*
 
It's going to be interesting to see what happens with Rolo this offseason with Meyers looking good. I know it's just one series, but his value has to have taken a hit.

Not true. LA shut himself down by taking low percentage shots. It's not Zach.
 
If we can muster up one LA performance like he had against Houston last year, we may have a shot. They have totally taken him out of his rhythm this series though.
 
CJ is fools gold? Lol, I guess some people are gluttons for punishment. Have to eat crow time and time again.
 
CJ is not fool's gold. He works great as a slasher with Leonard who forces the defense out of the paint.

CJ... Garbage time? The guy just had two great games against the best defense in the NBA.
