Close games in Memphis but we see how this series will go.
I doubt the Grizz win another game.
 
Curry travels terribly, and the commentators say how good a play it is as it is replayed several times.
 
I would trade Simons for Poole straight up.
 
Ja can score at will. They need to play better D on Monday.
 
Memphis plays extremely well without Ja. This series isn't over no matter what. That said, they might've been able to win this game if Kyle Anderson hadn't gotten himself thrown out. Grizz were on a run and they basically gave the Warriors 4 free points and that was that. They need to play better D in Game 4. Dillon Brooks will help. And Ja not playing, if he doesn't, might help too.

No it isn't. Memphis done. GSW a free ticket to the WCF

Right now they are playing up the depth. How Memphis played well without Morant.
Well this is the playoffs and Golden State. That was regular season and half the teams tanking including the Blazers.

Nah. 30 point loss. Sorry.

Yeah, I didn't even see that while watching the game. I was focused on the other player grabbing him. Poole grabbed at and tried to twist his knee.

Maybe they should trade him?

It'd actually be interesting to see the teams they best whilst morant was out.

They beat the Suns in Phoenix without Ja. Beat a lot of other good teams too.

Sacramento
@Toronto
OKC
@Dallas
@Miami
Lakers
Rockets
Sixers
@Blazers (when we weren't tanking)
@Sacramento
Portland (when we weren't tanking)
@Clippers
@Pelicans
@Pacers
@Rockets
Nets
Pacers
Bucks (by 25 and the Bucks were completely healthy)
Warriors
@Spurs
Suns

Nine of the 16 playoff teams. In others words, a pretty fair schedule. Bad teams, good teams, and contenders. And a lot of these games were in first half of season when every team is trying to win still.

Wow. Gotta say. It's not that I like injuries. But now both teams truly hate each other and that makes the basketball a lot more fun to watch. I can't wait to see Game 4.
 
Smart (I think?) was shooting FT's at the end of the Celtics/Bucks game. They were down 103-101 and he intentionally missed the FT, in hopes that the Celtics would rebound and get a put-back. So he shot it, and he ran into the paint before the ball hit the rim...isn't that a violation?

I thought the FT shooter had to wait until the ball hit the rim before he crossed the FT line? If he doesn't cross the line, it was absolutely perfectly timed (but I think if you slow it down, you can see he crosses the line before the ball hits the rim...unless the rule is the foot/shoe crossing the line AND hitting the court)

 
the lane violation rule continues to baffle me

No they beat them April 1st in Memphis. They played them three times this year and went 2-1. The first time was a loss with Ja in Memphis, second was a one point win with Ja in Phoenix then they beat them on April 1st after the Suns had wrapped up the best record in the league in Memphis. They never beat the Suns in Phoenix without Ja.
Now how about we talk about the Warriors? They actually did well against the Warriors. But not really when you talk about full strength Warriors with Thompson, Green and Curry with Poole as well.

By the way? Didn't the Blazers beat some of those teams? It works so well comparing regular season to a 7 game series in the playoffs.
The BLAZERS beat the GRIZZLIES 3 of 4 games this season.
THE BLAZERS ARE BETTER THAN THE GRIZZLIES! YAY!

and they DESTROYED the Suns early in the year. Clearly, in a 7 game series, the Blazers win.

Yeah...I'm thinking the season is seriously on the line for my Grizz.
I have been so impressed all year with them, they have been "my team", but the playoffs are definitely a different beast.
You can see the "battle-hardened-ness" (word??) of the Warriors. They are tested. (well the core is) and it shows.
They have a steelness in their eyes, while Memphis' eyes are wide open.
Gotta pay your dues, and the youngins are doin' just that.
 
Where can you find an owner as enthusiastic as Mark Cuban?

I meant to edit my post. When I posted the list, though, I said it was a home game.
