Grizzlies got them right where they want em

I’ve never done any sports betting but I’m really curious how much money you would win if you put $1000 on the Thunder now. Like maybe 2 cents?

It was interesting with Ja at home court. Now, it might as well have been the play-ins.

Pray for the bear

If I’m Ja (and his agent) the decision to not play in game 4 was pretty much made the minute he landed. Anything other than “screw this, I’m out” would have been a massive surprise.

They were done when they fired the HC.

Maybe yesterday was his last game in a memphis uniform

Is this 3 or 4 years in a row now that his season ends with an injury?

The Ole Purdue approach

14 Memphis points 

30pts/30+ TOs

Might actually develop him further lol

150

make up for tbe posessions he didn‘t get before the coach firing

That’ll be 50 turnovers

If Yuki leads them to a win, my glazing will never see the end

Ineligible to play sadly

Yuki isn’t eligible to play.

I wish he was because why not. The season is dead without Ja anyway.

Is it really luck or is it that he has never adjusted his style of play?

Could also be how he plays?? Can’t posterize someone on every play man.

Goes farther than that. The NBA needs to start protecting its star players just like how the NFL protects its star quarterbacks. Else, no one will want to go hard to the rim anymore (business decision) and everyone will just start chucking 50 threes a game. Oh wait

Playoff scheduling makes no sense to me. Everyone else already has or is currently on a 2 day off between games except for our series I’m not complaining we’ll have plenty of time for rest but it’s just weird how they do scheduling

I feel like the NBA in general is being run so exceptionally poorly these days. I love ball, been watching for ages, but man, sometimes it’s hard to appreciate how good we have it. We got Curry, LeBron, Giannis, Jokic, some of the greatest players of all-time on the court and some in their prime, we got young guns like Luka and Wemby coming up, and the NBA is just falling over itself with terrible officiating that has no repercussions for badly called games, gambling’s intrusion into the league overnight to basically being on every billboard and every commercial break, idiotic arrogant assholes coming in and destroying franchises/fanbases and firing coaches just before the playoffs, scheduling being wonky and giving teams weird b2bs, and above all, the lockout/blackouts that are making it virtually impossible to (legally) watch in the first place.

They have an all-time bag right now, possibly the most talent the league has ever seen, and they’re just falling all over themselves trying to scrape as much money away from their fans as possible instead of promoting the sport and doing things to foment loyalty long-term. Really sad to see, and it’s actively damaging my enjoyment of the sport.

The schedule is great for us, but absolutely fucked Memphis. They already had two extra high-intensity games in the past week.

Those mid 10’s series we’re special. And stressful.

I miss those guys so much man. Take me back to the grit’n’grind days

Are Quincy Pondexter and Dante Cunningham gonna hit some dagger 3’s off the bench in the 4th ??

Marc Gasol’s not walking through that door fans

Zach Randolph’s not walking through that door

Tony Allen isn’t walking through that door

Tyus Jones ain’t walking through that door

He made the extra pass so that Dort had no chance of blocking the shot. Dort has a far more difficult contest against Ja than against Pippen. 

Dort was committed to defending Pippen and had him covered, when the ball is passed behind to Ja he spins and slips. It was a good pass from Pippen and just ended up unfortunately

He didn’t have an easy layup though. Dort had him well defended. So he passed to the open guy.

Pippen has a solid chance of being fouled there but almost no way he gets the basket.

Pippen didn’t have an easy layup, Dort was in decent position to defend it. Decent chance he makes it/gets fouled, but it would have been contested. The pass was good, Ja had an easy bucket if he’d just gone around the falling Dort instead of trying to make a highlight dunk over him.

Gentleman’s sweep wouldn’t mean anything. If they won game 5 without him, THEN the conversations might start.

6…years?

And game 4 will be a blow out without Ja.

You hate blaming anyone but proceed to blame Ja 🙄

The only way to avoid it was to pull it out, which meant giving up the basket. Dort was out of position and between him and the rim.

He doesn’t have the jump shot to do that

Low risk? Really depends on how you define risk lol, it seems like a pretty good way to throw your money away 

Might as well bet on every big underdog then because your “low risk high reward” thing applies every single time

Sounds pretty high risk to me, but I don’t gamble either

They’ll give up. We don’t have Adams anymore who wouldn’t let this stuff fly.
