    They can slow them down with Allen helping out Conley and Lee. If healthy of course.

    Do Blazers fans miss Mo Williams or are they happy with Steve Blake?

    Not really. Blessing in disguise... We don't have the team we do now if we beat them last year.

    Zach Randolph purchased 500 tickets for the game to give out.....damn. That's really cool. Love the Memphis team and just gives another reason why they are a team to root for. I hope we play them. Be a great series with us winning in 6.

    Aldridge should've just gotten that surgery.

    the Blazers getting blown out should be more cathartic than I thought it would be. maybe because they are so injured

    Memphis has a huge front line. An Injured Aldridge would still feast on the Rockets bigs.

    I don't. Ordinarily, I'd feel bad for any team going through the injuries they've suffered, but they were extremely lucky last season and as a Rockets fan I can't sympathize with anyone over players getting hurt. Not with what we've been subjected to this season.

    Plus they knocked us out of the playoffs last year, and for that I will never feel bad for this Blazers squad.

    Reading comprehension FTL!

    The "luck" he's referring to is the injury bug not hitting them at all last year. You really couldn't link those two things together? smh

    What are the chances Blazers sign back both Aldridge and Matthews this offseason? They may get a discount on Matthews with his injury. Robin Lopez is also a free agent. Lillard will have to get paid next year too.

    LMA and Lillard will want the max (or close to), I would think. Matthews will probably want Parsons / Hayward money.

    Not sure what Lopez will get on the market.
