the NBA is in good hands

rippev · 05-03-2022, 11:18 PM

What a fun game and series. Great for basketball!

ninjacookies · 05-03-2022, 11:19 PM

We need to add Ja to the Embeede/Yoker debate.

TSonn · 05-03-2022, 11:19 PM

I won both my parlays tonight so I'm gonna go buy all the Ja Chronicles #116s on eBay.

I also wouldn’t count on the Grizzlies minus Ja only combining for 16 made field goals again. He got almost zero help on the offensive end tonight.

Ja-takeover. We should see Memphis at full strength with these next few days off. Hope Bane's back is feeling better by then. Love this series so far!

All I can say as a Warriors fan is that when you have 18 turnovers and shoot 19% from deep, you should lose by 20+ points.

That the Warriors actually led in the 4th quarter tells you that with the exception of Ja, Memphis was almost as bad.

BRob1 · 05-03-2022, 11:22 PM

bringing it back to cards for a minute the Ja/Young Dolph chronicles card is going crazy again. Raw is $100 a pop and a gem went over $1000. might need to rip some chronicles!

Yeah, but the Warriors aren't going to go 7-37 from three again either.

ninjacookies · 05-03-2022, 11:23 PM

Zaire Williams was pretty good.

Give him some extended run next game.

Probably Clarke's worst game of the series, but at least he topped double digits in scoring.

Melton/Jones have crapped the bed. For as good as they looked in the regular season, they're looking like future Lakers pieces in the playoffs.

Luni · 05-03-2022, 11:24 PM

Let's go Ja! So fun to watch

Well.....if he had followed that strategy we would have lost Game 1 too......

It seems like the next time the Warriors stop Ja from driving to his left will be the first time. However the way Ja moves in the air...

Don't know that he can be stopped.

Pretty sure Curry/Poole/team could've made at least 15 points with 19 extra shots.

And I'm partially serious. I don't mind when Klay takes open looks but he forced way too many shots tonight. He could've helped the team more by moving the ball along instead of tossing up another brick.

Also true. I’m wondering if Steven Adams is back next game. Memphis desperately needs someone that can rebound the ball out there.

Law of averages is a wonderful thing. Next game Curry and Klay will most likely shoot the roof off the building.

Memphis was fortunate tonight. Ja needs help out there on offense, because he's not gonna drop 40 a night.

cardbored · 05-03-2022, 11:39 PM

How about Ziaire Williams out there? Clutch 3s and a long defender. Kid was supposed to be a project, but he's out there swinging momentum late in playoff games.

Very true.

I just wish the Dubs would adjust their strategy as-needed sometimes. Klay could be shooting 0-12 from the 3 and he'd take a 13th 3-point attempt if he could. Sometimes it's not your night at the 3, just accept it and find another way to be impactful.

Easier for a coach to say that to Trae vs. a 3 time champ lol.

The game was fairly officiated until that draymond green foul at the end. That sealed the game for memphis.
Man i hate referees in this series

Ferg1945 · 05-04-2022, 12:06 AM

Gary Payton II - left elbow fracture

should Brooks be allowed to play the rest of the series?
