    They were completely healthy last season and they were just hitting crazy shots left and right. It was a tough fought series and they outplayed the Rockets but they were way better last season than what you see on the court today.

    That'd 8/10 against Houston as McHale sits and watches him go off. :p

    whatever man. I think the blazers caught a break playing houston and their swashbuckling defense, honestly.

    lol. are you seriously comparing the rockets defense to the grizzlies defense?

    Portland just isn't in the same league as Memphis. People are outraged by SAS vs LAC but to be honest, I'd be more upset with Memphis vs LAC/SAS in the first round. Memphis is scary good.

    Portland isn't prepared to deal with all their injuries. The only chance they have in this series is if Aldridge dominates and that ain't gonna happen with Gasol and Randolph guarding him. I still think it goes at least 6 since the Blazers are good at home, but Memphis will advance.

    That's not what he meant, but you're a moron 75% of the time when it comes to basketball, so it's to be expected.

    Blazers are playing mentally soft. Injuries aren't why LMA is 4/13 and Lillard is 0/6.

    Of course, if the Grizzlies want LMA to snap out of it in a hurry, just keep Jeff Green on him.

    Yes and no. Injuries put pressure on LMA and Lillard to perform. Both guys are trying to do too much, they gotta let the game come to them. Then again, if you wanna be "the guy" you gotta find your game early and step on their throats when you got it.

    'what' is starting to get sensitive and defensive. Keep your eyes peeled everybody. This is when 'what' usually throws out the most scorching hot of his hot takes!
