    The "Believe Memphis" slogan came about in 2011. The Grizzlies had never won a playoff game. They were swept three times in a row. Yet, the Grizzlies made history for being the second team ever to win a series as the #8 seed that year. After they won that series, they took OKC to 7 games. Due to it's competitiveness, it became one of the classic series in NBA history.

    "Believe Memphis" was born when the Grizzlies had a miraculous comeback during a game they were expected to lose, and came back and won. During a playoffs where they made history.

    I've seen your posts on this board. That slogan came about in a year the Grizzlies defined themselves, overcame the odds and history. Something your team is trying to do this year - being the first team to overcome a 0-3 deficit.

    Go ahead. Do whatever you want to that towel. But realize when you do, you are desecrating everything that slogan stands for whether the Memphis name is on it or not.

    You can't trade you're pick two years in a row. There are limits.

    Wrong. 1994 Nuggets won as 8 seed. 1999 Knicks won as 8 seed. 2007 Warriors won as 8 seed.

    That makes the Grizzlies FOURTH. Not 2nd.

    You only reaffirm the stereotype that PDX is the Adult Sex Capital that it is.

    LA's played good one on one defense, but his offense has been atrocious. I just don't understand all the praise this guy gets. It's like he could go out and shoot 1-100 and some people still wouldn't want to criticize him.

    Second time in a 7 game series. Whatever. The point remains the same.

    I really hope that the starting lineup gets changed in game 5 or that Stotts at least doesn't wait until we are down by 10 to bring in Meyers and CJ.

    Hooray glad we won. If nothing else it is always nice not getting swept. If the Blazers can actually make this a series that would be phenominal but I'm not holding my breath yet. Nice to see CJ and Meyers do well they really are the future with or without Aldridge and/or Dame.
