Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #70 - BLAZERS VS GRIZZLIES - MAR 19, 2025 - WED - 7:00 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

We're actually having a bad 4th quarter. It's just that the Grizz are having one of the worst quarters a team can have.

 

He does again and again too! Shoulda called it more. He should be fouled out

Demi with like 31 16 and 8?

Seriously some terrible basketball in the fourth tonight. The Grizz should be ashamed.

 

another solid effort by the good guys! Go Blazers! Deni is a bona fide winner.

 

2 games out of the dance! 12 games to go!

 

Dallas in freefall, no sign of them winning any more games this season. We're probably going to end up in the play-in.

I'm going to be furious if we don't do the very improbable and make the playoffs from the 10th seed... so yeah, this shit will likely leave me furious but I'm going to try and enjoy what there is to enjoy right now.

Deni is playing fantastically. Tou is going to be a monster for years. Shaedon would be kicking ass if he didn't have to give up so many possessions to Ant on 5 ball. I like the future of this team if we can add a couple more pieces while shedding at least Ant and Jerami before next season starts.

 

Deni has been a monster. I approve of the trade. Here I thought we’d miss Brogdon.

 

Answer this, do Grant and Ayton come back for the playin? I would be happy if they stayed out personally.

 

Rough game overall but we won and he’ll learn.

 

Bring back Ayton . We could use his offense and toughness on the glass.

 

I don't know if they will or won't because we're doing all sorts of shit that doesn't make sense but I'm with you, I definitely don't want either of them playing.

Rob however would be huge to have even if it was just for the play-in.

 

Dallas is in free fall but Phoenix is 10th now. They play Cavs next. Let’s see.

 

Good point. We'll see. If we win a bunch more games just to have a worse pick at the end of the lotto I'm going to be furious, that's whether or not we play a play-in game or two. We either make the playoffs, getting these young guys really important experience and free up all of our future picks or we've truly screwed this situation up.

 

This team is sorely missing Ayton. A healthy Blazer team is trouble in the playoffs. They have some weapons.

 

The layers of rose tint in your glasses is really something.

That being said I think we both agree on... GO BLAZERS!!!

 

No tint required to see that when this team get's hot, they can beat any team in the league. They have 3-4 guys who can take over a game. Oh, they have the ability to lock a team down defensively. Their problem right now, is they just aren't consistent enough. That is a team you don't want to match up with for a 1 game play in.

 

I hope you're right because now the best outcome we can have this season is getting these young guys some playoff experience and freeing up all of those future picks. I still don't think it's very likely but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Blazers Broadcasting trying to back Chauncey up... all of them saying that Ant has become a good defender this season. Fucking hilarious. Just trying to speak bullshit into reality.

The truth is Ant had one really impressive defensive play tonight where he stopped JJJ in the post but he's still a bad defender. Also he had a bad game and the only thing that saved it was the Grizz shooting around 27% from three and like 40% from the field overall. Ant getting 22 points off of 24 shots is not a good look. Oh and the fact that Deni kicked ass and everyone else played within themselves... efficient games by everyone not named Anfernee or Scoot.

 

Ant had a steal too. Kinda threw me. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Simons make that kind of play before.
