OT: Grizzlies impressively squeaking past horribly injured teams

Girl, you silly if you think the Heat in the regular season are the same as the Heat in the playoffs.

Completely different level - offensively and especially defensively.

 

Yup.

Westbrook is the best player on that team.

 

Durant for Batum and Meyers Leonard, then... Make it happen, Olshey!

 

That doesn't make him expendable.

 

Insofar as OKC, I don't have much sympathy. Per my recollection, they've been a remarkably healthy team the past few years. One injury and they're toast? Please.

I watched that game last night and thought about us with a healthy Roy and Oden. Sure, we wouldn't have Lillard, but with Roy, GO, LA and Nico, you could play HCP at the two and win. We used to play OKC even or beat them with Roy and or GO gone. With all our players healthy? There would have been no one in the league who could have kept up with us.

That team was set for one hell of a run. Damn.

 

No one said Stat-Bo couldn't ball. The guy is incredible considering his lack of jumping ability. Unfortunately for us, it took him hitting bottom and being traded to make a comeback from his personal issues. The PDX Z-Bo and the MEM Z-Bo are two different people.

 

I want the Conference Finals to be GS-MEM and CHI-IND with a MEM-IND final.

 

What a ridiculously clueless post....OKC and MEM fans have a shitload more to be happy about than POR fans right now and likely for the forseeable future....

 

You fell right into that trap.

 

Half Empty Much?

 

What's the point of making the playoffs if it all ends with a depressing disappointing loss? Who celebrates only making it to the second round or the WCF? I don't remember anyone being happy after we lost game 7 in the 2000 WCF. In fact, Blazers fans are generally happier this year than that year.

 

I'd rather have a ticket inside the dance....even if it means just standing there on the sidelines watching all the cool cats dance with the ladies. SO much better than being on the outside.....wondering what was going on in there.

 

Umm. If you want tickets to a Grizzlies/Thunder game, they're available on Ticketmaster.com. You don't the Blazers in the playoffs to see what they're like.

 

You totally missed my point.

Never mind.

 

My point is losing in the playoffs sucks. There is nothing fun about it.

 

Something about better have loved and lost......

 

Nah. You have to find the RIGHT love. It's more like do you want to get married to this girl or this girl? Once you're married, you're married. The Thunder and Grizzlies are married to horrible teams who will never win anything. We're playing the field and putting together a monster team that will WIN in the playoffs. I'll wait.

 

OK.

 

I found you the perfect girl, King.
