    Dame has been really bad since he started to whine about not making the all-star.

    He's at least a good offensive player but now he's not even that. He's a very on dimensional player that really just has a nice shot and can drive on occasion. His reputation going to fall quick unless he improves...a lot.

    Become a better defender and a better PG.

    You can't play one on one basketball against the grizz or they'll expose you.

    You can play it against the rockets. Lillard is the same guy and if he were playing the rockets he'd be going for 30 a night.

    The grizzlies are committed to defense and the rockets aren't.

    Sure you can, Harden played one on one against the Grizz plenty of times this year and never had any problems.

    You again have no idea what you are talking about, not even Blazer fans would agree that he's the same guy since the break.

    Question: which team held james harden to his lowest point total this season?

    and what was that point total again?

    6 points, lol

    Why does this matter? Nobody says the Grizzlies aren't good at defense. You're just trolling for the sake of trolling.

    Look at the other games.

    That was the end of a road trip which involved them flying to mexico city. So congrats on that, the whole team was dead tired.

    3 out of the 4 games Harden shot like over 500 against your team.

    What is so tiring is that there is always an excuse for everything. Just own it.

    I could say that in the 2 games that Harden had good games against the grizzlies the grizzlies weren't at full strength. But I won't.

    Face it, if the grizzlies meet harden in the playoffs, he better have some help.

    Yeah so own it. You can go one on one against the Grizzlies as Harden has proved. So I agree, own it.

    There starting 5 is a really good unit. Once you take away Matthews, they fall apart like a house of cards.

    Warriors will sweep the Grizzles. Easy matchup for them.

    Batum + Mathews and a bad series by Harden.

    Interesting about the Grizz

    Regular season based: 2nd in Points Allowed, 20th Points scored,

    only 21st in Team Rebounds per game (That is below average rebounding)

    and only average in Assists also

    That likely means outside of Gasol and Randolph's numbers there is not really the 'Rebounding advantage' there

    The Grizzlies are on a 3 game win streak but haven't won 4 in a row since February. Meanwhile the Blazers are on a 6 game losing streak.

    Scheduling fail? How is that Memphis and Portland are only playing their 3rd game?
