Doris and Mark still hard over that Celtics win.

Predictable outcome on this one. Bucks don't have a #2 with Middleton out like Boston (and all the better teams) does with Brown. Not sure if Middleton will even be a legit #2 option anymore when he eventually does come back again. Outside of someone taking Middleton, the Bucks probably don't have enough to even acquire another #2.

Bucks are 13-11 over their last 24. I still can't believe people think Bucks/Celts would run over whoever may come out of the West.

Looks like the Celtics hot shooting from 3 picked back up as they shot 49%. Slightly above what several players on the team are averaging for the season. Mind blowing. And neither of them are Tatum or Brown. Seems incredible but i don't know how long they can keep it up.

If they play against the Bucks those numbers will stick!

This just isn't funny or clever. Keep it to your art of falling thread please. Maybe talk about games that are actually happening, like the Warriors causing problems for the Grizzlies despite no Curry.

hairyangryfella · 12-25-2022, 09:46 PM

Good on JVG for calling out the refs for all these bogus foul calls for the Warriors (and no calls for all the contact on Aldama each time).

hairyangryfella · 12-25-2022, 10:05 PM

JJJ picks up his fifth foul for grabbing the jersey of Wiseman, and somehow the refs let KLAY shoot two FT for that???????

These calls are just ridiculous now. JJJ has 5 fouls in only 11 minutes. And I still can’t figure out why they thought Klay should take those free throws.

jhill80 · 12-25-2022, 10:17 PM

The officiating is horrible in the Golden State game! They have made a couple bad calls against the Warrior's but a whole lot against the Grizzlies. I know the Grizzlies aren't playing that great tonight but on Christmas at Golden State the refs are making sure the Warrior's win this game!

bigjbasketball · 12-25-2022, 10:19 PM

And then Poole gets a second tech for that? These refs get coal in their stocking or something today?

Pretty meh game. They are really choosing the wrong games to cover. If the Curry-less Dubs can skool the Grizzlies like that, even with Poole ejected, Ja & co got no chance. Course Pacers reason why Curry missing.

Be embarrassed, Memphis. The road problems continue.

Be embarrassed officials.....six technicals on the Warriors? When you call that many T's on one team, you're doing something wrong.....

REGGIE206 · 12-25-2022, 10:49 PM

After talking so much after losing in the playoffs, Memphis just got punched in mouth by a Warriors team without their two best players (Curry & Wiggins) and the refs giving them technical fouls like candy. I love it!

RogerGodahell · 12-25-2022, 11:03 PM

Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant sounds pretty confident that his team will make it to this season’s NBA finals.

In an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Morant was asked what teams the Grizzlies focus will need to go through in the postseason, and the star guard replied with the name of an Eastern Conference team, not a Western Conference opponent.

Apparently, Morant isn’t worried about how his team matches up against potential Western Conference playoff foes such as the Nuggets, Pelicans, Suns and Clippers.

“Who do you look at around the league as you’re studying and say, ‘We’re gonna have to run through them?’” Andrews asked.

“Celtics,” Morant replied.

“No one in the West,” Andrews observed.

“Nah, I’m fine in the West,” Morant said.

Sounds like he's pretty confident Memphis is making it to the finals this year. Only time will tell.

For those that have been watching Golden State games all year, how are they getting beat by other teams? Are there common threads in their losses?

They have no answer on D if you attack the paint/rim on them.

hairyangryfella · 12-26-2022, 12:01 AM

I'm guessing a few people above didn't actually watch the Warriors game...

daeve · 12-26-2022, 12:34 AM

31-12-9 thru 3rd Q for the MVP

Which is Memphis's strength. I think Bane and Zaire need to find their shot before we see this team winning consistently on the road. Zaire looks hesitant right now. Konchar hasn't been hitting on this road trip either.

Gordon just finished a tremendous alleyoop on a bad pass from KCP. If their threes were falling this game would likely be over - but they keep clanking them while Phx stays hot, so it's a good ballgame with 4 minutes left to go

daeve · 12-26-2022, 01:13 AM

wow Shamet just bailed out CP3

daeve · 12-26-2022, 01:22 AM

jesus - Bridges with a terrible mistake foul to give Denver the last shot and Malone's got nothing per usual. Murray forced up a bad try
