    We might actually be favored in this game for the first time this year. Then we play them again in Portland two days later.

    The Grizzlies are 0-5 and just lost by 24 in Utah last night. Blazers could legit get to a 4-3 winning record.

    After these Grizzlies games the Blazers probably won't be favored until December 21st hosting Washington.

    Kenneth Lofton Jr is a fun player to watch - he's as wide as he is tall. He's #6 off the bench, 6'6" 275. Played 19 minutes yesterday.

    Nice seeing Sharpe play well. I'm spending most my time looking at what Ayton and Camara are doing.
    Not spending much time worrying about wins is allowing me to watch with a little better perspective on what is happening on the floor.
    A little more veteran team on the court this game with Scoot out might have a positive effect on the way Sharpe plays the SG position.

    I don't like that Memphis is this desperate for a win. At best I bet we split.

    Uh-oh--Malcolm Ballhogdon starting. Gonna limit Sharpe's opportunities.

    It didn't seem to limit Shae's opportunities in the 3rd qtr when they played together.

    Ha did you add that or am I color-blind? I thought it might be sarcasm, but it is tough to tell on this board.

    It was green from the beginning, but to be fair it was one of the darker greens, so I can see how you might not have noticed.

    I'm actually really excited to see how we'll do with Brogdon and Sharpe starting together.

    I did not see the green at all either but I assumed it was sarcasm. Was playing a hunch.

    Look what they've gone and made me do - I'm now expecting a win in this one. Hope - it's a dangerous drug.

    Not only with Sharpe, but the other three guys. Would like to see Ayton, Thybulle, and Grant be more productive. Thought Scoot would be able to make each better. So far that has not been the case. Mays has also been a pleasant surprise and welcome a bigger role for him while Henderson is out.

    Hasn't been much of an update. Chauncey said after the game that his ankle was sore. It's possible he plays but likely he misses at least a game. He is currently listed as day to day.
