Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 4: GRIZZLIES @ BLAZERS - 4/27/15, MONDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), TNT & KGW

God. I love that movie.

Seriously though, I'd say they have about a 40% chance maybe.

Go Blazers!

 

I honestly think if we can win game 5 then there is legitimate hope to win the series. I know that sounds ridiculous because clearly if we lose there is 0 hope to win the series. But if they can carry this confidence into memphis, get the win, and come back home in front of the rabid fans packing the RG, then the sky is the limit.

 

I auditioned for the lead role in the first production of MEMPHIS in 2003, 6 years before it ultimately went to Broadway. I was one of the final two people up for the role. The two of us were also up for the lead in MASK. It was also the same director. I got MASK and the other guy got MEMPHIS. MASK never made it and MEMPHIS did. Sucks. That's showbusiness.

 

Yep. Getting to game 6 is key. If we win Game 5, it's going 7, no question. I "Believe" Memphis might make history again and be the FIRST team to ever blow a 3-0 lead and lose the series.

 

Yeah. I can imagine.

My Game Thoughts:

- Coach Stotts FINALLY made an adjustment and inserted Meyers Leonard into the rotation. Because he is a threat from the perimeter, Marc Gasol has to respect his range and was constantly pulled out of the middle of the paint, which opened things up for Lillard and McCollum. The only question is: Was it too little, too late?
- More impressive than his offense was Meyers' defense. He was isolated on the low block all game long against one of the best centers in the NBA and more than held his own. Portland didn't have to send the double and Meyers was able to play with poise and stay out of foul trouble.
- We still take way too many terrible shots, especially early in the shot clock. If we want any chance at winning Game 5, then we must work for better looks.
- Go to the fucking basket, LaMarcus. I really want to sign him back this summer, but his jump shots drive me fucking insane.
- No more Steve Blake. He's been awful on both ends of the court this entire series.
- CJ is the real deal. He's getting buckets off the dribble, from deep, and everywhere in between.
- Meyers and CJ's emergence has really opened up the defense for Lillard to operate. Tonight was vintage Dame. I went nuts when he converted the 4-point play.
- Will we ever get LA and Dame on the same page this series? If we want to win Game 5, I think that's got to happen.
- I'm thankful we didn't get swept, but I'm still nervous that it took a comeback performance int he 4th to beat a Memphis team without their floor general.
- I'd like to go to Afflalo down low against Lee early on to start Game 5 to see if we can get him going. We'll need more from he and Lopez if we want to send this baby back to Portland for game 6!
- GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE.

 

Well if you want a better picture, orient the picture in landscape, zoom in a little bit, and either wear a sock on your right foot or cover it with the towel.

 

I'd say we have about tree fiddy chance

 

agree, I was calling him LaChuckit Aldbrook in honor of his volume if shots and awful shooting this series, he is Westbrookesque

 

Sly didn't you say they were pumping in noise? If so that's kinda of lame.

 

LA has shot 32 for 94 so far in this series, and he's averaging more than 23 shots per game!

 

Goddamn Loch Ness Monster!

 

ridiculous for a 4 time allstar, supposed to be one the the best PFs in the game, and a wanna be (likely) max contract guy, if you are that good you show up in the playoffs. His D on Zach has been good but you gotta bring it BOTH ways
