Can Smokey put out the Blaze?: The official Blazers vs Grizzlies Playoff Thread

[Serious]

@Serious

Should have just tanked. shyt was over when the heart of the team tore his achilles

Aldridge out here taking 34 shots & Lil Lard going 5/21 but I bet they don't catch much shyt for that

Lillard deserves every bit of criticism

LMA no comment, stats don't show all the shyt he's doing away from the ball, and how heavily contested he is....

Whole team played poorly. Aldridge was 13-34, but no one's saying he's a trash PF. You guys overreact to one game all the time.

was kinda trolling because youre a good poster but to me it was a game that furthered my convictions about lillard not one that shocked me into suddenly thinking hes awful. hes not as bad as he was today but hes also not as good as he is usually considered to be. hes not very efficient, streaky shooter, below average defender and average in setting the table as a PG. grizzlies and their slower half court sets is a nightmare matchup for him stylistically

It's been weird watching him the second half of the season because his aggressiveness has gone down. I don't know if he's hurt or what, but something seems off. When he drives, he usually gets wherever he wants, but it almost looks like he's told not to. I agree on him being a trash defender. He's gotta get better on that end of the floor. He's athletic enough to be solid defensively.

From the Portland Oregonian: there's a sign in the POR locker room that says, "we don't lose to Spanish players." SMH.

Eh...probably a Nic Batum thing. France and Spain have a big rivalry over there.

 

[thenatural]

It's one Spanish player on the team. Probably would've gotten better press if it said "fukk Marc Gasol" lol

I love NBA Playoffs time in Memphis. You can just feel it in the city.

 

[Skooby]

Aldridge is hot! He'll need to be since Afflalo is still out and Kaman won't play either.

 

[Skooby]

God damn Lillard. At least hit your free throws.

 

[Regular_P]

That Udrih layup was an example of why you can't place all the blame on Lillard when opposing PGs go off. Lillard gets screened and Udrih puts in a layup right over Leonard. Their pick and roll defense as a team is awful.

 

[Skooby]

YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shyt...didn't count though.
