The Blazers?

Oh yes, Clinton.

They breathed by your Wizards.

My Wizards now way were Wizard, Name said.

He felt good, didn't feel restricted.

Melo led Portland with 25 points because, you know he couldn't play in the league anymore.

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, the Grizzlies blow out the Nets by 39.

We saw them dancing earlier, the scoring load shared between nearly every player who got on the floor.

So with the wind, Memphis keep kept its lead 3.5 games at a Portland and Sacramento for the final playoff spot out West.

And the Pelicans are all the way at the bottom of that because we had enough room on the screen.

But I got to tell you there now five games out with only 20 to play, people stopped out in the Grizzlies.

I was never doubting the Grizzlies.

For what it's worth, I thought the Grizzlies were the team in this spot, but I think that for a lot of people look, John is the truth.

But the job versus Zion thing isn't really a fair comparison we're talking about whether not the pels are gonna get back to the place there too many games back on.

And I think that the way that the Grizzlies have applied themselves again this team, there's so much fun.

You guys talk with them dancing on the sidelines and all this other stuff.

They are actual good basketball team, not a team that is still trying to get back to what they could be.

I think the dress is gonna take this and I don't think it's gonna be that close for probably two teams on the outside.

So they had a four game lead at the All Star break.

They came out of the All Star break it heads of injuries and lost five in a row.

That was reason to doubt them.

I lost five.

Guess what they've got.

I got a 3.5 game lead.

They lost no ground without losing streak and that was just because the teams behind them didn't take advantage.

But in the Blazers, you know they had injury to blow Willard.

But look where they are now.

They are.

They have a great they're in great possessed situation.

under the pelicans.

You play some of those teams above them, so they will have the chance to try to create those those windows from the from.

So the Grizzlies have the second hardest schedule in the MBA going forward and the hardest in the West.

I'm more worried about that Portland Trail Blazers team who has veterans with people that want to prove something, who have a dangerous guy who's moved mountains before and Damian Lillard like that.

That's a team that could do some damage as an A C.

I think the Grizzlies they get in his A c.

They'll be happy to be there with that young core won't have any experience to be able to pull off a first round victory or make somebody nervous.

But I think the Portland Trailblazers will be the team that you kind of don't want to see is an eight seed because they have a go to guy that can take over a Siri's by himself.

I could deal with a little mellow, LeBron first round series.

Think that way, have a D.

C.

Moment in sea area moment here.

You know, there is one team in MBA history that with 20 games to go.

Being five games get back, made it into the n b A playoff.

Do you know what team that was?

Those were your 1996.

Washington bullet wouldn't lose that syriza total of it.

We're not talking about that.
