    I actually like the grizzlies and their style. But what really is an annoying troll, it almost makes me root against them... so i will Just ignore what and hope the grizzlies win this series.

    MemphisX was a good poster. I wish we could trade what for him.

    Memphis are fools gold

    They ain't winning **** this year. They are limited offensively and don't shoot the 3 ball well

    Don't let the Portland win fool you. Portland are banged up big time and are the worst Western Cofnerence playoff team, yes even worse than NOP

    Also don't F'in compare Rockets with the Grizz

    Rockets are light years ahead of the Grizz historically and even in the present

    A very efficient 20/7/7 in 24 minutes from Beno Udrih. I don't know if I should be glad or not for my fellow Slovenian who has been turning his back to our NT for over 10 years now. Especially because his performance will ignite the troll fire which is devouring NBA comments section on our main news portal.
    The narrative of course is Dragić can't sniff the playoffs no matter where he goes (HOU, PHX, MIA) while Udrih, the winner of two rings with the Spurs, saves the best performances for the playoffs and thus is a better player.

    I hope Memphis sweeps f'n Portland.

    Yes I'm still very bitter. F'n LMA played like he was the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain and Lillard played as if he was the second coming of Isiah Thomas.

    Afflalo might help the Blazers a little bit, but wing defending wasn't the problem with Portland's defense yesterday. Gasol and Randolph are just too beastly down low, on both ends of the court. Afflalo doesn't bring the kind of shooting from the outside that Portland needs to contend against a team like Memphis.

    ^ This is going to be too funny watching ultra PC Portlandians perform mental gymnastics to rationalize that sign instead of just admitting it was, at best, in poor taste.

    Brent Barry on the announcing! Hopefully not on his bro's level of badness.

    Perhaps it's time to sex ZBo?

    I think the Grizzlies can beat the Warriors in the 2nd round. It will be an upset, of course but they have the players, defense and style to really be competitive against them.

    The biggest worry is if they can create enough offense though.

    Brent is much better but he is soft spoken so he is kind of hard to hear at times. Wish TNT would raise the mic level of their commentators.

    This is the LMA we have all seen. Good to know that he does this to other teams in the playoffs.

    Did the Blazers do something to offend Beno?
