Sunday

SUNDAY REALLY? WOW

This is my surprised face.

 

[maxiep]

Griz in four. This team has taken too many body blows with our injuries.

 

[magnifier661]

Wow nice!!! Both teams needed another day rest

Griz are pretty hurt as well

 

[KingSpeed]

Here it is

Game 1 is scheduled for Sunday and Game 2 is on Wednesday in Memphis. The Blazers will hosts Games 3 and 4 on Sat. April 25 and Mon. April 27.

Do they always give this much time between games? I don't remember it like that last year.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I know Jeff Green has been hurt but he played a whopping 49 seconds tonight. Anyone know why?

 

[HailBlazers]

Should go back to 5 games

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Griz are pretty hurt as well

Judging from the official word, it looks like all three of their guys will be good to go on Sunday. We'll still be down Dorell and Wes, and possibly Arron. We're hurt more for sure.

He played 34 min

Rumors are he's hurt their chemistry. They're better without him.

Last year, our 1st round series went Sun, Wed, Fri, Sun, Wed, Fri

 

[KeepOnRollin]

OK my Yahoo Sports app must be foobar at the moment.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

No rhyme or reason for it. But I will take the Blazers in 6.

Assuming that there is a level that has been held back the entire time. I don't think they have to play Grizzlies ball. They just have to up their game up. And play with fire on both ends. Take one in Memphis. I think they get their swag.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

There should be a Blazers by forfeit option. No way Memphis wants any of THIS team.

I always remember them playing every other day with an extra travel day. It does seem like a lot but maybe that will be in our favor for adjustments and game planning. And also health. As a fan I hate it but it probably the best for our team

 

[KeepOnRollin]

If you score 100 you beat the Grizzlies. They almost never let a team get triple digits due to their pace and defense.

You don't want an 85-88 game or you lose.

 

[santeesioux]

The Blazers are going to beat their asses so bad they wish they were still in Vancouver!

This is the exact same schedule that we had against Houston last year.

"Canada.. " lol

"Canada.. " lol

Lol Canada indeed, but i'd take Vanoucver, BC over Tennessee any day of the week unless I wanted some bbq.

 

[magnifier661]

I feel almost as good as BlazingGiant's sister after she took it from 5 dudes about this series

 

[Boise Blazer]

You know sometimes I wonder if the fact that they beat us 4-0 this year will come into play. How hard is it to beat a team 5 or 6 straight times in the same season? If we can sneak one of those first 2 games the whole series changes quickly and gets real interesting.

 

[Boise Blazer]

This is the exact same schedule that we had against Houston last year.

Fate?

 

[magnifier661]

Fate?

Oddly, it really is the same. Playing on the road by a team that dominated is in the regular season

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Fate?

Dame shot from 30 with .6 left
