So no thread on Lillard getting exposed for the BUM that he is?

Nah this is just a bad matchup for portland as whole. Soft ass jumpshooting team missing one of its best players up against a tough ass tall ass grinding team pause. Just not a goodmatch up at all.

The main thing that's killing the Blazers is Memphis ability slow down the tempo of the game. Memphis knows that they can't go pound for pound with this team at an accelerated pace. So every chance they get they try to slow down the game in transition. I expect the series to be tied at home, because being at home does have its advantages, especially in regards to going on runs.

Yeah and I didn't pay close attention but it just seems like Blazers can't string together stretches of scoring runs. They're not gonna outrebound Memphis so misses are just as good as turnovers in this series. Plus the officiating is favoring Memphis. They can be as physical as they want right now.

While that maybe true, Lillard has been extremely inconsistent this season. He had like 15 straight games of shooting under 40%. He crowned himself too early after that All-Star snub.

Blazers score a lot off of transition spot up threes and lay-ups, and overall play a fast uptempo game. Memphis aint having that, I've literally seen them slow down the game, so that the blazers don't get comfortable. But i've also seen spurts that show me that memphis has the ability to run and gun with green,lee, and conely.

I'd say the officiating is fair tbh. The game is physical no doubt, but I've seen the blazers hack the grizz just as many times. There's a lot of fouls and travels that haven't been called on the blazers as well. So it balances out. :manny:

his hardon for Lillard is funny
I don't get it either is one thing for the Blazers to be playing Hawkset or something then my dude @FreshFromATL calls out dame, but this cat literally watches every game, just to make slick comments. That type of devotion :mindblown:

The crazy thing is he does it with rondo and a few other cats as well....


@#1 pick just apologize already :damn:

Those "impossible" shots this nikka kept hitting was obviously unsustainable. Never really got the hype with him in the first place. He's next to useless when those shots aren't falling because the rest of his game is sub par.
