Grizzlies @ Portland, 03/22/2012 - Game Thread!

He still needs to do it every game to be considered a legit 2nd-3rd option for us, and not every few games.

 

Battle of the bulge.... I say to you "nuts"!

 

That I agree with

 

Aldridge needs to stop being a pussy

 

Last time there was a lockout an 8th seed made the Finals

Get some

 

Yeah I don't get it man... It's a shorten season. Teams that are good may not necessarily be good in a normal regular season. The playoffs are the normal schedule, so you can rest and play again.

 

I was really excited by what I saw of Flynn. Now sit his ass before he starts helping us win games and give him a contract in the summer.

 

I see him playing a little more minutes tomorrow night. Lakers have a real tough time against quick pgs

 

And then they traded Fisher ...

 

You think we might be "good?"

We've been getting blown out so much in the past few weeks. This is a bad team with a flawed roster. Getting the 9th/10th seed will hurt actually us.

Baffling to me why someone hasn't stepped in and made up some bullshit injuries for LA yet.

 

You should look up ny in that lock out yeah and pay attention to Miami. Ny was getting blown out big time and actually was at a worse pace than we were.

 

They still have Blake. Sessions isn't a good defender either.

 

I just have one question. If we get to the playoffs and get shellacked by the Thunder (which is not only likely but practically written in stone, given how flawed this team is and the way the playoffs almost always unfold) will anybody look back fondly on this season and say "hey, thank god we got the playoffs and had another one-and-done, vs. two potential top ten picks in deep and talented draft?"

I mean I'm not "upset" that the team won tonight, but it does leave me scratching my head a little bit. If you're going to blow up a team and rebuild then do it right and don't half-ass it.

 

I will be happy that our team decided to grow a backbone in this adversity and played with pride. And believe it or not, I actually believe we can beat okc in a 7 game series

 

They aren't blowing the team up. They're "re-tooling" it. Chad said it himself.

Aldridge and Batum are the building blocks (sigh). They're just going to add to it.

 

Thank you for acknowledging that. Just because Nate was fired and everyone has a Tank avatar does not mean the team is blowing it up by any means.

 

I have an anti-tank avatar, fyi

 

Felton being awesome.

 

Yeah I like watching him with ball. Reminds me a little like Rondo. Very quick, always seems under control with the ball, doesn't look to shoot. Now I want to know if he shoots like Rondo too. He needs more minutes tomorrow. Give Felton a rest on the back to back. Hell don't even make him travel. He earned the night off.
