Game Thread SEEDING GAME# 1: GRIZZLIES VS BLAZERS - JULY 31, 2020 - FRIDAY, 1:00 PM, NBCSNW & NBATV

[DUB]

RELIEF!

 

[Scalma]

Trent is the hype killer, he’s shut down Morant and Mitchell now, and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting.

 

[e_blazer]

Never a doubt.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Bye!

 

[Titan]

Both teams played hard... but these ref's can go rot in hell

 

[blazerkor]

We got the win and that's all that matters.

 

[riverman]

Hell of a gut check OT win!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Anyone else thinks we ended up with a steal in Trent?

Was stoked we drafted him and liked his potential. He’s exceeding my expectations and sooner...

 

[Chris Craig]

Fuck the Grizzlies and fuck the refs

 

[DDolla]

What a game!!!!! That’s playoff basketball. Gary Trent is Wes Matthews 2.0.

 

[Almir]

Biiiiig wiiiiin! Bravo Blazers! Tough game but fortunatelly a win!

Great game by Nurk as well.

Go Blazers!

 

[Scalma]

Good win against the Memphis Grizzlies and the NBA referees association

 

[Chris Craig]

I needed that so bad

 

[Shaboid]

PHEW. That was a stressful game.

 

[James lamphear]

I got the ending on my phone but I did tape it though so I can relax tomorrow knowing that we won and watch it.

 

[tykendo]

All you Melo and CJ haters can SUCK IT! BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOO rip city! YES SIR

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Whiteside better be fucking glad we won otherwise that blown layup would haunt him forever

 

[Scalma]

No way are there five centers in the nba better all around than Nurkic.

 

[crandc]

That was fun.

 

[DUB]

That was way harder than it had to be. We played a good first half, then put our queue in the rack at half time. The refs seemed to really want to remind everyone that they’re also a part of the NBA.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Huge win!

 

[Shaboid]

I'm fine giving Melo that game ball. He hit some big shots down the stretch.

 

[Chris Craig]

50 fucking free throws for Memphis

You know why

Because the Pelicans lost yesterday

 

[Rastapopoulos]

All you Melo and CJ haters can SUCK IT! BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOO rip city! YES SIR

Don't forget us Trent haters! We can suck it even more!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I really wish I could feel better about this victory. I really do. We barely beat a team that has Tolliver and Grayson Allen in their regular rotation. We don't have the killer instinct to step on their neck when up by a dozen. When we get ahead in overtime, we lose our poise. Overall they played more physical and with more desire. Maybe we will do better going against some older teams. I hope so.

 

[TBpup]

A game they HAD to have. Mission accomplished no matter the flaws.

Next!

 

[noknobs]

Fuck yes! God that was stressful. Fuck the refs.

 

[James lamphear]

I see Nurk had 6 blocks and nice to see Zach with 9 boards.

 

[wizenheimer]

that was a wacky game

Portland just got hot from three when it counted most

and apparently, officials have better hearing when there isn't crowd noise

 

[tykendo]

Now hopefully Dame's hamstring is OK . Might be a bruise, but those can linger. But what an effort by the whole team. Now someone go give Hassan a wakeup call. Pure dooky effort. C'mon man.
