Oh wow... This play in game isn't one game. I was thinking like Denver vs Timberwolves few years ago. I kind of like it. It doesn't put Portland on a island. But it also gives Grizzles a chance. I'm kind of excited to watch. The Denver vs Timberwolves game was so good.

Portland been so hot as of late. Can't even double Dame. He's shooting at the gym door

It is one game if Portland wins. 2 games if Memphis wins today.

Yeah that's what I meant by leaving Portland on a island. It doesn't put all the pressure on the team that actually seeded with the 8th seed. Doesn't mean Portland can have one bad game even though they finished 8th. But leaving the door open for Grizzles who actually had the spot but lost it.

I think I still would of loved to see Suns here. But that is based off play.

Nurkic is certainly playing inspired ball... he's been dominant in the first half

I'm telling ya'll he's changed the whole team dynamic. There was a play earlier on. Where he got it in the high post. And they ran the reverse split action. CJ cut to the baseline. He hit his with the perfect pass. The Grizzles rotated. And then CJ found Collins for the corner 3. It was a thing of beauty.

Defensively.... Boards and a above average shot blocking. He has great hands. He's caused a few steals.

You know what aged like milk? Ja Morant saying the play-in system is unfair.
