Gamethread: Grizzlies (13-2) @ Blazers (12-3) 11/28/14, 10:00pm

Have a bad feeling about this game but it can be a good.

[RoseCity07]

Finally a team I respect. This is a tough team. If we win this the win streak could get really big. 15-18 games.

[TaLvsCuaL]

A decent stream

[kurple]

should be a great game, two of the top 4 teams in the league

[TaLvsCuaL]

that block by Batum was awesome

[RoseCity07]

Grizzlies are the best defensive team Portland has played but we look good offensively tonight. I didn't see it come this easy last season. Every single shot we got against Memphis was tough.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Nice quarter, Gasol is playing like shit and the defense is inexistent

[RoseCity07]

Batum injured his wrist years ago and has never been the same shooter from 3. It doesn't seem that way anyway.

4 points game, can't believe it

[AussieG]

One of the hardest places to win, up there with the Warriors in terms of tough buildings to win in. Two of the hottest/best teams in the league. :cheers:

[Wavves]

Almost forgot about the game. Checking in NOW

Good luck Griz fans. You've got a great team and this should be a FUN game :cheers:

[TaLvsCuaL]

Portland just hit everything at first, and then missed everything at the end of the quarter.

Wait... this is Minnesota and Lakers :oldlol:

Udrih is such a solid PG. Always enjoyed his game.

Thank you!

[TaLvsCuaL]

Udrih is such a solid PG. Always enjoyed his game.
One of the most underrated players in the league. His basketball IQ is out the chart.

This is the Laker game....

[Wavves]

One of the most underrated players in the league. His basketball IQ is out the chart.
That's it. Everytime I watch him I always leave the game impressed with how he played.

[RoseCity07]

I thought I saw Matthews elbow bleeding on the free throw. There was the one glob on his arm. I was like wtf...no one noticed until now.

[TaLvsCuaL]

I did not realize :lol

[Wavves]

At half time I'm gonna have to quickly run down and vote in the State election before time runs out.

This game is obviously more important to me :oldlol:

[AussieG]

Grizz used to be a lot easier to beat when they didn't have a bench. Every season the bench gets better.

[RoseCity07]

I know Stotts likes to rest starters in the first half to pounce on teams in the second half but that might not work tonight. I think he needs to bring back Aldridge now.

[Da Hammer]

Awesome stream, thanks man!

Really good quality

[TaLvsCuaL]

Leuer doing great tonight

[RoseCity07]

I think Wesley Matthews needed stitches. He's coming back though.:applause:

[RoseCity07]

Aldridge has Karl Malone hands I swear. So good at stripping players.:bowdown:

[AussieG]

Z Bo travel? :lol

[The_Yearning]

A pretty good example of why Portland will struggle in the playoffs.

[TaLvsCuaL]

What I like about this team is that when a player is not having his night like Gasol, there's always someone to contribute. A bit weak offensively tho but still incredibly balanced team.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Lee is being really really great for us, what a great addition!

[AussieG]

Everything is turning to gold right now.. :lol

What a pass off the backboard by Conley.. probably missed shot but still..

Refs have put their whistles away and Grizz are beasting..

[RoseCity07]

Portland can't beat Memphis. They may win a game or two but not 4 out of 7. Batum has been the weak link in our line up for a while. Every single Blazer has gotten better but he stays the same or gets worse. He can't make a three to save his life, and now he thinks he's a point guard but telegraphs all his passes.

Batum helps us beat up on all the bad teams. He's a nightmare for most teams. He doesn't show up against elite teams. I don't think Batum will never be the player people want him to be.

[AussieG]

Matthews keeping the Blazers alive..

[RidonKs]

grizzlies are fking vicious

[AussieG]

Z-Bo.. :lol :lol :lol

[RoseCity07]

I can't stand seeing Steve Blake hold the ball all possession. Get it to Lillard and get out of the way. SMH.

[RoseCity07]

Matthews 6 three pointers.

[TaLvsCuaL]

****ing Kaman

[TaLvsCuaL]

Z-Bo 0-5 Ft's, that can cost us the game at the end.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Dat pass

[RoseCity07]

That amazing pass by Lillard, 7 threes now for Wesley.:bowdown:

[PsychoBe]

what a game :applause:

[jlip]

Kaman is dominating the 4th quarter.

[The_Yearning]

Both teams are getting exposed.

Blazers lack depth and the Grizzlies don't have enough firepower for the full 48 mins.

[RoseCity07]

Ball hit rim, shot clock should reset.

[The_Yearning]

Those two missed 3's from Lillard have deflated the Blazers.

[jlip]

Ball hit rim, shot clock should reset.

Yeah. That was a bad call.

[RoseCity07]

Yeah, Lillard basically killed the comeback. Missing two open 3's badly.

[AussieG]

One of the hardest places to win, up there with the Warriors in terms of tough buildings to win in. Two of the hottest/best teams in the league. :cheers:
Once that crowd gets into the game..

It would be a blowout if it wasn't for Matthews 3's and Grizz FT's..

[RoseCity07]

Batum is straight up trash. How many open 3 can you miss?:facepalm :facepalm

[TaLvsCuaL]

Game is not over yet.

[RoseCity07]

Marc Gasol would make Portland a championship team.

[jlip]

That should have been Grizzlies ball.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Marc Gasol would make Portland a championship team.
Definitely would fit well.

[RoseCity07]

Nic Batum 0-5 from 3. Every single one of them was an open shot.:oldlol:

I really wish he was consistent like Matthews and Lillard. If Batum could shoot like Matthews he'd be a special player. If you think I'm exaggerating Batum is 0 for his last 13 three point shots.

[fragokota]

If healthy, Grizzlies will be very tough to beat in the playoffs :applause:

[AussieG]

Grizz 10-0 vs West :applause:

[RoseCity07]

I knew Memphis was this good but I don't know what to take away from a game like this. Memphis is a huge jump in talent from the teams we've been beating. So maybe Portland just didn't know how to gauge what it would take to win this game. Also, I really do think Blazers squandered a ton of shots that are shots they can and do make.

Either way, Memphis is going to make a ton of teams we play seem so much worse. We are going to destroy Minny and a bounce back game.

GG Memphis. I really do think it's Memphis and San Antonio at the top.

It was a good fight. Portland only have been needed a better shooting percentage tonight. I really like this Blazers team, and despite their shortcomings they are capable of beating anyone in my opinion.

[FKAri]

What I like about this team is that when a player is not having his night like Gasol, there's always someone to contribute

And he ended with 26 Pts, 7 Reb, 9 Assists. :bowdown:
