Grizzled Vet

Blazers just lost to the Rockets. Hopefully there is a little fatigue in them tomorrow. Aminu played 37 minutes, and Lillard and McCollum played 39.

I would not have guessed those stats the Father posted. I always felt like ZBo would get the shaft on foul calls because of his limited jumping ability and the fact that 3 point shooters can't be touched but refs let them play maul ball underneath. But I guess, I'm also wearing Beale Street Blue colored classes when I watch as well.

Well, they did send him home after the Nuggets game.

Until the 1st round pick conveys to the Celtics, the Grizzlies aren't able to trade any of the 2019, 20, 21 or probably 22 first rounders as the pick could be any of the next 3 years, and they aren't able to trade consecutive years first round picks.

The 2020 1st round pick can't be traded because that could still be Boston's pick which eliminates the possibility of trading the 2021 pick because consecutive draft picks can't be traded (and the 2021 1st round pick also can't be traded as that could end up being Boston's pick).

As bad as this was, I'll take the Pelicans/Lakers split. It would have been nice to have been competitive, but this isn't out of character for most NBA teams to have a crappy game.

I think other teams are going to duplicate what the Lakers do. They better start making baskets or this will be a very common defensive game plan

Got them right where they want them. Down 23. Time to start playing defense.

The game hasn't even started yet and Ed Malloy has already whistled JJJ for 2 fouls. I'm expecting that type of treatment tonight.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying, but I want to point out that OKC has yet to play many divisional games. Right now, they've only played one and so they have 15 games remaining in the toughest division in basketball (it pains me to now say the Northwest is the toughest division in basketball, but it's true). Given how tight the West is, they are like the rest of the West (minus Suns and Warriors) as a non-gimme to make the playoffs. Although, injuries are going to play a big role.

In his defense, it is Saturday in Tokyo right now. He's so far ahead of us, he probably already knows the outcome of Friday night's Pelicans game.

It's really not a big deal IMO, but I was never one to play the role of hall monitor.

I'm more of a Ricky Davis man myself.

After the Clippers win, the 538 projection jumped to 44% on probability and they must have forecast a Clippers victory as the projected record climbed to 43-39, and 11th in the West.

It doesn't need to be moved, although it could have been put in one of the other threads that talks about Seattle that are on this board: Seattle updates arena to attract NBA/NHL teams Seattle and expansion https://boards.grizzliesonline.com/topic/20632-grizz-to-seattle/
