    I go with the Mike Rice style: Val-mumble mumble mumble.

    If teams are tanking they sure not playing like it so you must take every team serious.

    I read it like "That is how I pronounce it?" as if he was asking. Still a very weird reaction.

    Tonight is a huge game. I really don't like the first game back after a long East coast road trip. The Blazers often get blown out in those games. (Ironically a couple times by Memphis) So it would be nice to get the win tonight just in case. And hope Paul George is out on Thursday.

    How was it weird? I didn't say "please correct my pronunciation".

    I agree that a win tonight is important. Can't let any of them to lower tier teams slip away. I don't think that there's any chance that they don't get up for the Thunder game Thursday, though. I'd be concerned if it was reversed and they were playing the Thunder tonight and the Grizzlies at home on Thursday.

    Note to the Blazers: Please don’t play stupid and give Memphis some life. Finish them early please.

    Looking at their schedule as of late it doesn't look like anyone is putting the Grizz away early at their place. It would be nice, but they seem to be playing very competitively, despite their record.

    In the case of Memphis, I heard that they actually don't want to tank because they owe their pick to Boston if it's outside the top-8. If it doesn't convert this year then it goes to top-6 next year and unprotected in 2021 so the thinking is that they want to give it to Boston this year so they don't have that owed pick looming over them when they do start their full rebuild in the off-season. The 9th spot would be ideal for them since if they moved up into the top-4 they'd gladly keep their pick and then give it to Boston if not but unfortunately for them with New Orleans upsetting a couple playoff teams this week it's going to be hard for Memphis to move down any further than the 8th pick. Worst case scenario for them would be to get the 8th pick and have to keep it. I guess if they finish 8th there is a chance a team behind them could move up bumping them down to 9. On the flip side it would be hard for them to move any higher than 6th if they did go full tank mode so they might as well just play normal.

    I like to imagine to myself that Nurk really does drive that Sumptown Coffee van around as his daily driver.

    @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP Question: What makes you guys decide which intro at the top of the hour you use? (I.E. for this 5 o'clock tip.. the 5 o'clock open)... I meant to ask you or Curtain when I was in the truck but forgot.
