[bksballer89]

Batum, LA, & Lillard shot 23-67 tonight from the field

This definitely has my vote for biggest eye sore. I didn't think anything would be worse than Wiz-Raptors.

You do realize Portland is awful right? With all the injuries they have currently, I think they would lose to all of the other 7 teams in a series....the only team they may be able to beat is New Orleans.

Memphis caught a break due to the NBA retarded way of seeding or else they would be gone in round 1

grizzlies arent getting bounced in the first round you crazy, your acting like the 2nd-6th seed isnt separated by 1 game. the grizzlies have actually played in the conference semis before and would have beat the thunder last year in the first round if zach randolph wasnt suspended game 7. the grizzlies have a great shot at making a run

a good defense will do that

You have to admit, they've been playing like shit lately. If anyone lucked out in the seeding, it's without a doubt the Grizzlies. Portland's probably the worse team coming into the playoffs.

Yes, because teams neeeever play poorly down the stretch and then pick up their play in the playoffs. Especially when it's a team like the Grizzlies who are built for the slower paced and more physical play in the playoffs.

Well, well. That was a laugher, but don't expect to see another game like it in this series. Lillard, Aldridge, and McCollum all had bad days simultaneously. That won't happen again.

In the end, the Blazers might be too banged up to win the series, but they're a good team, and good teams learn something every time they lose. Don't write this one off yet.

Grizzlies in 5. They coasted into the playoffs, but don't sleep on them in the second round.

 

[Hambombs]

The way I see it spurs warriors are favorites to win it all grizzlies and clips are dark horses to come out

 

[shabazz916]

memphis are a good team but they do not have the star to take them higher when it counts

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Each Blazer blowout is one step close to Aldridge being a SPUR.

I feel bad for them, but I think I am cheering for the Grizz to keep blowing them out badly.

I thought it might be 50/50...but I am more thinking 60/40 in favor of the Spurs over the Blazers now.

Houston and Dallas dont have the cash that SA does. There is a lot of chatter now from friends and teammates that he is going back to Texas.

He prefers to stay in the Austin/San Antonio metro corridor. it makes a lot of sense.

Portland Trail Blazers posted "We Don't Lose to Spanish Players" sign in locker room before playing Marc Gasol-led Memphis Grizzlies

Surprised to hear their coach defended it.

 

[bksballer89]

Portland looks awful

 

[GenJac]

I think the Blazers are done. Too many injuries taking its toll throwing off all the rotations and taking the wind and steam out of the team. No Wes M, D Wright, and Aaron A is too much to over come against a healthy Griz team. I wish both teams were healthy as it would be so much funner to watch.

The last 6-10 games of the regular seasons was telling for the Blazers. They were 2-8 and looked off and played with no passion it seemed. Its almost like they have given up and have the "why try" attitude. Too bad it came to that.

Here's hoping against all hope the Blazers can find ways to get some Ws.

refs are such a joke. green falls down with the basketball and the 2 refs stand there and call nothing

 

[podsox]

grizz score every time down

 

[bksballer89]

This game is putting me to sleep
