    So we meet again.

    And oh, how the tables have turned. The last time these two teams played, the Grizzlies had the better record (and that was before they demolished the Blazers). Since then, Grizzlies have lost 3 straight, while the Blazers have won 2 in a row. Now the Blazers have the better record.

    In fact, ever since the Grizzlies beat the Blazers last week:
    • Memphis haven't won a game.
    • Blazers haven't lost a game.

    If we can continue these two trends, that would be superb.

    C'mon Rip City, time to dish out some good old-fashioned revenge!

    As long as Chief can limit Jackson, we should win this one. Dame needs some revenge against Conley for last game and I think Dame will get it.

    Blazers need to win this won or it negates some of what they have accomplished in the last two games.

    Need another answer on the poll. "Too early to tell" would be my answer.

    Another decent team coming into the Moda. Time to get another W at home!

    I think these teams are evenly matched. We'll have a real battle here. BBPZiiWKurt Russel .gif

    The Grizz have shown they know how to shut down Dame and Nurk. Stotts is not known for making adjustments. That is not a good combination.

    Conley miss last game due to a hamstring injury. I prefer him play to challenge us to a quality win against a good team

    We just beat two quality teams. If he diesnt play, that's completely fine with me. We need to continue to play a better style of basketball. Conley wont affect whether or not that happens.

    I’ve got a blurry one, I’d share it, but don’t want anybody to quit over it.

    Is it me, or do we play a lot of teams without some of their best players?
