Vince Carter and Grizzlies watching it from huddle.

More shots of players watching it.

Portland: "We don't lose to Spanish players"

This is one of the quotes they are using for motivation. Good grief

Is that for real?

Is this real life?

I still can't believe we let that team beat us last year. I wonder if they put "We don't lose to players with beards" against us?

I can't tell from reading that whole article on the matter if the whole thing is a joke or what. I really think it was. They played with Rudy Fernandez, and I can't believe I made two posts on rudy Fernandez in two days on this board.

The message that I thought was the funniest was, "Nobody beats us 8 times in a year".
(Grizz Swept the season series this year). That's funny stuff.

I just take it as Portland humor.

Grizz take lead, but still need to be consistent in making shots.

That defensive stop.

Game Memphis.

Grizz.

Excellent work with the gifs tonight guys!

Up 2-0 and the guys seem to be having fun out there and playing with energy. didn't see much of that the second half of the season.

Solid article on espn.com on how ZBo worked with Aldridge after the Trailblazers drafted LA.

It gives some solid insight on the type of trash talking Zach does.

Aldridge said. "He's really good at getting you talking and saying things like, 'I was in Portland this summer and it was nice,' and then you let up and think, 'Yeah, it was nice,' and then he just drives past you and gets a basket."


"People always called me 'soft,' but Z-Bo never did," Aldridge said. "In practice, I would go at it. I wasn't strong enough to bang, but I would bang with him as much as I could." Randolph smiled at the thought. "It was a battle," he said. "Practices were crazy."

"Zach could've really been a nasty guy, had a nasty attitude about these young guys who were coming to take his position with this organization," McMillan said. "He knows they're going to be the future of the organization because he was once in that same position when he came in and Rasheed and those guys were there. He could've had an attitude toward the organization, but he didn't."

I'm not real excited that the Warriors could win their series in 4 games before the grizzlies & blazers even start game 3.

Yeah, I don't get the scheduling sometimes. Warriors already done with their series before Grizz start game 3.

Wtf Gasol with back to back air balls.

24-19 after 1. Grizz up 11 with about 1:30 left in the Q but air balls by Gasol and 8 straight by Portland cut that right quick to 3. Managed a basket before half though to push to 5 point lead.

I'm a little worried that the Blazers have had such good lucks, and just haven't made their shots.
And Gasol seems like Mr. Casual on offense.

Still, I'll take a 1st quarter, 3pt lead.
I'm worried about these next two quarters, especially because the Grizz will probably go on some scoring draught just as my wife and kids return from some play they went to tonight, and they'll try to tell me every single detail which will probably coincide with multiple ill-advised shots by VC and missed layups by Tony Allen.

Already 4 fouls on Grizz with less than 2 minutes played in the 2nd Q

Kosta freakin' Koufos with a monster jam!

Koufus with the poster.

I know...there is no poster, from any angle, that would be attractive with Koufos on it.

I see Bill Kennedy is going to not call anything underneath for the Grizzlies tonight.

At what point in his career did Robin Lopez look over to Anderson Varejao and decide that he wanted to copy the Sideshow Bob haircut?

13 point lead at halftime. 62-49 Grizz.

Very nice half for the Grizz offensively and answered each little Portland challenge with a run of their own.

Fortunately, The Marcus has shot 1-10.

What has happened to Lillard? Dude seems way off

He's playing way better than the first two games?

Just in general. I remember the dude just playing out of his mind last year. He's shooting better tonight but seems way more hesitant and just flat out there.

So, the 3 previous games have a lot of Memphis in those contests....

Atlanta: DeMarre Carroll
Brooklyn: Hollins & Thadeus Young

Chicago: Pau & Derrick Rose
Milwaukee: OJ Mayo & Bayless

GS: Speights
NO: Dante & Pondexter

Damn, that looked painful.

Oh no.

I didn't see what happened to Conley there. Hopefully nothing serious. He was acting like he got hit in the head or something.

Udrih out tonight so Grizz down to Calathes...
