I anticipated a blowout for Memphis. Good to see Portland competing hard in the first half.

Hope Grant (and Hart) are ok. That fall by Grant when he was fouled was a bit scary. With concussion symptoms, does this mean he would miss the next game (or more)?

This game has been super fun regardless who wins. Considering we have lost our starting front court, I can't believe we're in it.

I joined late and didn't realise Nurkic had actually started the game. What happened with him?

Calf strain to his right leg, I think, three minutes in. TOok a take foul and then headed to the locker room.

This is easily the best win of the season, surpassing that early season win without Dame and Ant against Phoenix.

Holy crap. Thought the Blazers were going to blow it late.

Need Nurk to get healthy. Thought the few days off would help with his calf.

I think unfortunately this game also showcases how Portland can benefit from a more mobile, athletic and quick center. Nurk when he is on he's so great for the team, but he's not focused always and he can and will get smoked in the playoffs by the fours who move to the five. And that a lot of teams these days.

Wizards should be a winnable game. But they are on a 6 game win streak and their game against Detroit got postponed, so they'll have fresh legs playing at home. Meanwhile, Blazers injured as usual.

Said they were a .500 team entering the season. And here we are, 51 games in, 1 game under .500.

I think it depends on whether he can pass concussion protocols...? Otherwise, it's usually 7-10 days.

This was an amazing, gritty win, and completely unexpected! Portland's Jekyll and Hyde season continues, and it was a nice surprise for the good version (not sure if that's Jekyll or Hyde) showed up!
