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.

SharpesTriumph · Nov 2, 2023

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.

kjironman1 · Nov 2, 2023

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.

Pinwheel1 · Nov 2, 2023

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

PtldPlatypus · Nov 2, 2023

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

inconceivable · Nov 2, 2023

is scoot unavailable for sure? how long is he out?

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

Not at all.

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.

BlazerBeav · Nov 2, 2023

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.

Cugel · Nov 2, 2023

Grizzly will come in pissed off and hungry as hell. Have to match intensity.

Let's see what Sharpe can do against a DPOY defender

Chris Craig · Nov 2, 2023

Give the ball to Sharpe. Again and again.

That dude ain’t 275 my man.

Why weren’t they pissed off and hungry for they’re last game?

Cugel · Nov 2, 2023

Maybe they were? That doesn’t guarantee a win you know.

Whyachi · Nov 2, 2023

Last year's tank Blazers beat the Grizzlies.
OVERRATED... no Adams, no Morant, no problem

inconceivable · Nov 2, 2023

Memphis just got a new center

Oh yeah? How did I miss that…

Well if he's day to day it can't be that bad, THANK GOD!

I have an extra ticket (300 level) if anyone wants to go. I’ll be taking Trimet down and can meet at Moda before the game starts. Let me know
