The Blazers are another team that the Grizzlies have problems containing. Lillard and Matthews are dangerous from the perimeter. The Grizzlies need to make a defensive stand on these guys and take the perimeter game from the both of them by harrassing them to force up their shots.

Z-Bo vs. LMA

Zbo needs to make LMA's night on offense hell. LMA went 2-14 from the field vs. the Warriors. If he goes though another night like this, the Blazers should not stand much of a chance.

Mo Williams is the Blazers X-Factor. Treat him accordingly and the Grizz bench need to crack it up on boths of the floor if they expect to get another tough win on the road.

yeah these Blazers are all grown up. Batum is a real player now. Lopez is no longer a running joke. Dude is sturdier than his brother and can hold it down. especially next to LA. We know Aldridge is an allstar. Matthews can shoot it from anywhere. And Mo Williams is a certified member of the Grizz killer club. This ain't your mama's Blazers. We have to treat them with respect and really lock in to come away with the win. I think our team is capable of beating them in 5 or 6 games in a 7 game series. Unless of course they start shooting 20 3's a half and knocking them all down....

Grizzlies so far are owning the Blazers so far into the game.

Grizzlies making this game a nightmare for the Blazers tonight.

[SD2042]

One thing about Portland is that they know how to get to the foul line. They are 15-19 so far tonight.

Zach Randolph is now the new franchise leader in double-doubles for the Grizzlies(191).

Perhaps, but it doesn't hurt that we couldn't hit the side of a barn either.

Perhaps, but it doesnt hurt we played good defense, and shot 52% form the field.

I like the energy of the last two games. Thats the way!!!

52 percent against the Blazers is pretty ordinary.
