    They play hard and smart, JJJ is a great young big and Conley and Gasol's 2 man game chemistry is fun

    Different strokes for different folks though I guess.

    I understood your point. I didn't realize this was your private chat.

    I think with Layman people only remember the couple games he had any offense, they forget all of the games he scored. He is only averaging a half a point more then Moe, but plays worse defense, does not rebound the ball as well. Not sure why all the love for he guy besides he had 2-3 good games this year.

    My point was mainly that I think Layman deserves to play, least at the beginning.

    I'm all for replacing Stuaskas with Layman and letting Curry get more creation opportunities.

    Moe should start though imo

    The caption contest bonus game is a barn burner at half, 2 assists each.

    We had 12 turnovers and 7 assist and 4 came from the 2nd unit. They need to get back ball movement and player movement.

    I always wonder the same. I either have to wait for a dead ball to post or miss some game action to post, and I don't want to do that.

    This game totally feels like one where Portland makes slight adjustments, eventually gets the lead back. Maybe even get a double digit lead, only to watch it disappear because the team falls into their habit of thinking the other team is going to roll over and die once the Blazers get a lead (a Stotts characteristic). Eventually the Grizzlies will regain the lead back, and win by 4-7 points, keeping the team under 90 points.

    I've seen this dog and pony show before.

    Good think Anderson step out or Conley would have had another '3' right out of the gate.

    It seems like every discussion I've had lately you've entered it and misinterpreted what I'm saying, probably because you popped in in the middle of the conversation.

    Posting Nurk vs Gasol is never a good idea...
