Both teams are in bad form but great game so far

[KNOW1EDGE]

Don't know about Memphis, but Portland could really use a win tonight. Just lost to Miami and then Orlando last night.

LMA has been great but we need the supporting cast to step up.

Ton of respect for the Memphis organization, I'd love to see them make the finals..

[RoseCity07]

Memphis is too good. It pisses me off that our team can't seem to get a stop ever. I think Aldridge hurt his thumb again too. Man if he goes out there is 0% chance of winning this game. The season is over if he can't play.

[RoseCity07]

Steve Blake dribbles into more traps than any other guard in :facepalm . And it's a turnover half the time.

[TaLvsCuaL]

35 in one quarter, Blazers defense has been really really bad.

wth happened to Batum? He is playing like shit this season

[RoseCity07]

I think LaMarcus Aldridge is hurt again. I'm hoping he can battle this one out tonight. We need him..

And it looks like CJ McCollum is becoming the NBA player he was expected to become. He's showing that the Steph Curry comparison wasn't a joke. Of course no one is that good but his stroke is beautiful.

Two teams that wont get past the 2nd

He's actually been playing well since the all-star break.

[TaLvsCuaL]

He's actually been playing well since the all-star break. Glad to know, I always liked his game. Although I always thought He would evolve into a better player. Something like a poor man Pippen.

But as I say that he starts making terrible passes and stupid selfish shots that are heavily guarded.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Conley is amazing, the most underrated player in the league by far. Marc and Z-Bo always get the recognition but He is equally important for this team.

[RoseCity07]

Conley should have made the all-star game over Lillard. He deserved/still does deserve to be one.

[AussieG]

You can't judge the Grizz by their form because they lose to a team like Detroit, barely beat the Bucks but then will beat Mavs, and now playing well against Blazers.

Sometimes teams complain when they have a tough schedule and have to play the top teams but Memphis plays better against good teams, than they do against crap teams. It's weird.. they just seem to be motivated easier when they know the opposition is stronger.

[TaLvsCuaL]

I hope things will improve in the coming weeks. Our distinguishing marks, the defensive intensity and teamplay has not been as good as used to be since the Allstar break. I'm bit disappointed, we are almost completely healthy but I have some doubts. At the moment we're not as good as we should be and most people think.

[AussieG]

There's been some hints of that, but hopefully they get their ass into gear when playoffs start. The other thing that concerns me is that they usually do better as underdog compared to having a high seed and being expected to win.

The last week or two before playoffs has plenty of good teams to practice against and get into the groove.
