Man, I hate when the NBA has noon games in playoff series after those teams have been playing games every night that end past midnight. It just throws off their entire rhythm. Not just the Grizz, but OKC as well. Both teams looked like shit in the first quarter. I think they made something like only 11 field goals combined going into the second. Both teams were missing wide-open layups out there. In fact, it was a noon game that cost the Grizz their last playoffs. Game seven in Memphis after playing in LA prior, the team came out shooting worse than they had the entire season. It just fucked with their natural basketball rhythm.

The loss today was pretty hard to take though, because we were in control for the entire game and just choked it away, but it's hard to imagine Conley playing that sloppy for an entire series. I also don't know why we took so many threes in the first quarter. We're the worst three-point shooting team in the league, but I think we attempted something like eight threes in the first quarter alone (going 1-8 of course). There were so many times we could have blown that one wide-open, but we just got away from our bread and butter. It sort of reminded me of the second game of the LAC series.

I agree, i hate noon games as well. I didn't check the schedule saturday night and just assumed the first game would start at 3, ended up tuneing in at the end of the second because of it.
I wouldn't be too worried about this series I think Memphis takes it in 6. OKC needs another player to really step up and I don't think Martin is going to be able to have another game like that, especially if Hollins decides to just put Allen on him and just take him out of OKC's equation.

Zach was always this good. He was just too black for doughty, quaint little old Portland.

Not too black, too stupid.

No question he showed that he had playing ability, but he certainly was not the player here that he is now. His ability to pass has improved, as has his desire to play defense. He's grown up in Memphis and is a positive for them. He had more of a negative effect on the Blazer franchise.

Feel ya, was pissed the entire day yesterday after the Grizz threw that game away. Were killin it with Z-Bo and Gasol inside then for some reason when it counted at the end of the game they stopped going to them. Having game 1 in the palms of your hands, and to loose it like that, tough to take indeed.

Reminded me when Portland had total control over the Lakers in game 7; then stopped going to the player(s) that got them that control. I don't understand why teams do that?

Aside from the refs helping LA in game 7, it reminded me a bit of this video.

We didn't stop going to Sheed.

As for the Grizzlies, the game wasn't at noon and neither team played any games that ended at midnight for them. Excuses excuses. Thunder in 4.

Because he got onto a good, maturing team.

Could have easily been us.
 
Just wait until they get back focused. They've had a long break
 
WTF is DRose waiting for? Pathetic display. Can't imagine how pissed I would be if I were a Bulls fan
 
Denny says, "Bring on the Knicks!"

If I was on the Bulls and he wanted to come back after we were up in the series against the Heat, I'd tell him to go fuck himself.

Probably.
 
Now, let's go Warriors to complete the evening!!
