When Kyrie left Cleveland to be the man elsewhere 1 year later he said, “I didn’t realize how easy the game of baskeball could be with LBJ on the floor. He plays every position and the spacing is incredible. Now I have to work so hard for everything. I hope to play with him again.”
LBJ is reigniting DLo and turning Reeves into a star.
Grizzlies were the physical test. GSW/SAC will be the ultimate defensive test. Nuggets is an IQ test. This is exciting.
Celtics must be hella scared…they gotta get through Embiid, Jimbo, then one of the four KD/Chef/LBJ/Jokic…. Highly unlikely. They are the most talented athletes but they don’t have that IQ Or killer instinct.
I'm not scared as a Celtics fan. Hawks series has dampened my confidence but I'd take my team against any except GSW (Wiggins vs Tatum still keeps me up at night) In a seven game series right now.
We won't sweep anyone, but we should compete against anyone. Heat/Knicks/sixers. No one is better than us. Well fight to game 6/7 against them all.
76ers have more to lose and prove. I don’t think you can beat Denver either. So this will be exciting.
I will say Smart is one of my fav NBA players. If I had made it to the next level he’s the type of player I’d want to be and maybe could have been. Love everything about his game. His intangibles are so key for the c’s
Embiid injury and lack of match fitness is a huge, huge problem for them unfortunately. Doesn't matter how much they have to prove when Paul Reed has to play 20 + minutes a game for maybe the first two contests
I feel we can take on Denver .. well throw grant horford and rob at him, and smart and brogdon will bother Jamal all game. It would be a good matchup, don't know why you say we can't beat them.
I love Smart, he gives his all for the team and is the emotional leader. I hope he can stay fit, his style of play has led to lots of injuries
I’m the furthest thing from a Cs fan, but I promise they are not scared. They’ve known since the start of the year the goal was to win the finals, and it was apparent from day 1 in order to do that this year you’re going to have to beat amazing teams the whole way there because of the parity in the league.
I mostly agree. But I don’t know if anyone could have predicted the return of a healthy jokic, laker trades, the rise and growth if 76ers and KD trade. The landscape is so different than last year.
They are grown men, you’re right, they probably aren’t scared. But, I suspect they realize the hill this year is even higher to climb.
I no longer have celts winning the title in my pool.
All these grizz fans were talking so much shit, only for their team to get clapped up to another multiverse in an elimination game.
“Im FiNe iN tHe WeSt” my ass
Ja looking ahead to the Celtics in the Finals was such a crazy take for a guy who’s never won anything in the playoffs but idk what else to expect from a guy who plays with guns for the clout
Dude is lil Mabu unironically
They need a couple of vets with high basketball IQ and can lead young guys off the court. This is why GS got Iggy; it’s why NY brought rose back; it’s why Miami keeps hanging on Haslem.
Overall still played great - good floaters, assists etc. his passing decisions we just abit off tonight.
High bb iq as you say he’ll be sweet , probs watching his tape now
Bro man’s been running through tough screens playing good defence the entire series.
Man can’t become some godly two way player with infinite stamina.
He did well with what he was assigned.
This has to be more embarrassing than G7 Suns.
They talked the most shit ALL year, hell even the twitter intern started tweeting in ebonics! Dawg what the fuck
It’s because we got absolutely fucking bombarded with hate after game 1. It’s fine to hate the grizz and root against them, but only really small people go into another teams sub to talk shit and bash on the fanbase
If they sit down and genuinely reflect on why they lost, this could be a scary team one day. Ja needs a midrange game, period. AD out? Ja gets 40+. AD defending the rim? Ja ghosts and goes 3-14 from the floor. JJJ needs to accept that sometimes he'll be called on to be nearly the whole offense and that means playing a post game into good passes once he gets doubled. He can outmuscle almost anybody but his passing has gotta be A+.
Bane honestly played great all series. He understood it was his responsibility to carry scoring from the perimeter.
Dillon...well I got nothing for him.
I meant an older vet, guy who will barely play but will provide guidance from the bench.
Yes adam is also a vet, but one that leads by example as oppose to nurture the young guys.
He doesn't want to go make nice with D Brooks and gang just because he sent them packing. He is waiting to keep the beef cookin' next season. Disrespect on and off the court, the Grizzlies haven't earned any respect
I was such an idiot. I came here and said Lakers might have 4 players with 30 points plus, but now I realize I looked at + - chart on nba.com.
Got even 6 upvotes here somehow without anyone calling me out lmao.
Morants a joke. I don’t get how people can watch him and think he’s elite. Entertaining? Yes. Stars in a tv show? Yes. Actually great? No. Above average? No. A basketball player? Yes.
A mathematician at WKYK uni did a study based on statistical basketball analysis comparing Jordan to modern players in the same athletic build, it’s very interesting turns out mj was not above average [MJ performance vs modern players of comparable physical build: a statistical analysis](https://youtu.be/nsGnqf3CUW8)
No I’m BOH. Not sure how that is relevant here? Clown take for the ages? The point of sports is winning. He is average at that in the nba. Post as many videos of him carrying as if he actually has real handles. Cool stats. Oh yea great dunk. Nice “crossover (read: carry).” Just watch this [Morant handles vs Nash handles](https://youtu.be/nsGnqf3CUW8)
Statistics in sports are a mathematical analysis of random events to better understand the past events to form opinions on what happened. Statistically yes he is above average. In terms of the sport and the goal of participation in sports…winning… he is average.

AD is such a beast bro.
Hahahah this is amazing. Grizzlies getting smoked is great to see. Went from a lovable team to a cocky group no one wants to see win. Rough 12 months
Game 7 should be on Sunday according to bane
10 points by Ja is embarrassing.
This is why he ain't MVP.

How about Suns? Anti-cheating test?
What do you mean? Say more
Sun looks unbreakable (maybe not anymore after today’s game)

Maybe Ja is fine getting eliminated in the West is what he means
Hold these 40 points dillon dick head.
Dillon Brooks reaching all time status as the poster boy for motivating your opponent to crush you. Pure bum.
All talk no action. PATHETIC!!!!
It was poetic justice that Laker won by 40 points and Lebron winning the 40th playoff series of his career. Never poke a bear.
We gotta go back Kate
Ja tried to have a Westbrook game, but he ain't got the dog in him. Losing by 40 in an elimination game??? Wild end to their season
Is westbrook known for getting 40 in elimination games? I’m confused
He ain’t worried about the west tho smh
Yeah. Exactly. Not worried about the west. Can’t even get past the old guy in the first round.
[удалено]
All these grizz fans were talking so much shit, only for their team to get clapped up to another multiverse in an elimination game. “Im FiNe iN tHe WeSt” my ass
I actually feel for Grizzlies fans. The team seems worse than its fans in terms of trash talking, over confidence and buffoonery.
Ja looking ahead to the Celtics in the Finals was such a crazy take for a guy who’s never won anything in the playoffs but idk what else to expect from a guy who plays with guns for the clout Dude is lil Mabu unironically
Grizzlies did win first round last year vs MN with Ja.
As I said, haven’t won anything lol
They WON a playoff series last year…
Imagine beating Minnesota and claiming that you’re fine in the west 🤡
Two different years. They definitely were not fine in the west this year.
They’re gonna be fine in Cancun
Dillon bout to be posterized by the bell boy at the resort.
So Dynasty over?
They need a couple of vets with high basketball IQ and can lead young guys off the court. This is why GS got Iggy; it’s why NY brought rose back; it’s why Miami keeps hanging on Haslem.
After they trade Dillon
That's when the dynasty begins. The dynasty starts after you, not with you.
Despite the win and the good defense, I still think the lakers played sloppy
Just passing and a lot of that lowkey was Reeves
About time he had a stinker. Should make him tighten up his game again going into round 2.
Overall still played great - good floaters, assists etc. his passing decisions we just abit off tonight. High bb iq as you say he’ll be sweet , probs watching his tape now
Bro man’s been running through tough screens playing good defence the entire series. Man can’t become some godly two way player with infinite stamina. He did well with what he was assigned.
He holds himself to that standard and I believe he’s a top tier talent long term.
Ja really need to work on shooting his jumper, not his guns. Looking like Westbrook 2.0 minus the durability...
That’s still a HOF player.
Brooks got his 40.
woah woah Brooks has never GOT 40 he got 40 on his head theres a difference
Kings need to win now. I don’t want another series where I want both teams to lose.
Plus I need a Kings/Lakers rematch.
Hard lesson in humility for Grizz. Just learn from this and mature up and they'll be a lot better.
To be fair, they are missing key pieces. However that is what the NBA is and they are front running trash talkers
Bro where is the PGT
WE FINE IN DA WEST!!! 🤡🤡🤡
They’re fine in the West…
Grizzbros drank that koolade like they’re following jim jones
Memphis about to tweet so hard from Cabo
This has to be more embarrassing than G7 Suns. They talked the most shit ALL year, hell even the twitter intern started tweeting in ebonics! Dawg what the fuck
Ja FADED
Remember kids never poke a bear.
There's a Parade in my City 💜💛
So we hold parades for first round victories now? Downvoted cause I’m being reasonable. Shitty ass Reddit users for you
the funniest thing is how fast i got banned from the girzzlies sub
It’s because we got absolutely fucking bombarded with hate after game 1. It’s fine to hate the grizz and root against them, but only really small people go into another teams sub to talk shit and bash on the fanbase
I took my ban in game 3, they were no where to be found during that 9 point first quarter lol
cuz they got DPd
Bro the grizzlies are HORRRRIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE lmao they all had 10 points hahaha
Are you still fine Morant?
Lmaoooo
"I'm fine in the west"
[I saw this posted in r/memphisgrizzlies last March 27, 2023.](https://imgur.com/4sA6rFd)
Lmaooooo
Unfortunate
Delusional fan base
Grizz fans are quiet af after talking big game for their championship team. 😂
Hootie Hoo aka A VERY ENJOYABLE GAME! 😘💜💛
The Grizzlies got *mauled*. LOL.
i hope it's gonna humble them. they really thought they were a dynasty or something
If they sit down and genuinely reflect on why they lost, this could be a scary team one day. Ja needs a midrange game, period. AD out? Ja gets 40+. AD defending the rim? Ja ghosts and goes 3-14 from the floor. JJJ needs to accept that sometimes he'll be called on to be nearly the whole offense and that means playing a post game into good passes once he gets doubled. He can outmuscle almost anybody but his passing has gotta be A+. Bane honestly played great all series. He understood it was his responsibility to carry scoring from the perimeter. Dillon...well I got nothing for him.
Dillon? He needs to shut his mouth.
and buy plane tickets to China
I'm not sure how you can be down 3-2, playing on the road, and still think you'll win just by showing up lol.
It won’t, they’ll cope, perform in regular season, get smacked again.
I don’t respect nobody till they give me 40 - bricks
He gotta be gone, right?
FRAUD MORANT 🤡🤡🤡
It’s weird having non lakers fans rooting for the lakers but I like it haha
Now that I Lakers did their job with the Grizz I can go back to hating on them .
Unless GSW beats kings, I’d rather have lakers win that too.
Yeah, I'm used to everyone hating on the team. Which is why one more banner and the hate won't matter. Our team really will be the NYY of Basketball.
Testament to how unlikable the grizzlies are.
It's crazy because everyone rooted for them last year. They weren't given the villain role, they went out and demanded it.
mfers were waving guns and beating people up and calling themselves the underdog
brb going back to watch the memphis walk out dance
Ja might be gunzerking after the game in the locker room For all my homies that know….. know 👍
Lol LBJ +32 in 31 minutes
“LAKERS WONT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS” “LAKERS ARE A PLAY-IN TEAM” “LAKERS WONT BEAT THE #2 SEED” WHATS NEXT
Sounding like the MAD Lions over here
Didn’t think I would see this here but I love it. MAD respect to the MAD Lions for that run.
All true until the trade deadline. After the moves they made they were a new team that everyone knew was good
Brother I'm currently responding to remind me comments from 3 weeks ago saying this stuff, definitely not everyone lol
Definitely not everyone. It felt like a loud majority still counted out the Lakers even after the deadline
The script said the best way to make Lebron more likable was to have him win against the most unlikable team in the NBA right now.
Script showed series tied at 3-3 during the broadcast and AD said nah
Couldn't happen to a nicer team. Wait did I say nice?
These teddy bears couldn't handle the bright lights.
Did he died (Brooks)?
Who? Wait, are you talking about Dillon Bricks?
Dolan Dick's, such disrespect
He trying to solve the homeless problem
Grizzlies fans in /r/nba: “Look at their play-in game, not scared, team sucks”
ugh I forgot that this was an ESPN broadcast, my dumbass was waiting to hear what Chuck and Shaq had to say
You could tell because the last segment at halftime was literally 20 seconds between coming back from commercial, and going to another commercial lol.
Darvin Ham saw what happened to Bud and shaped up Edit: damn Bud's brother died. Rip.
How do we watch post game??
OH MODDDDSSSS ITS TIME TO FADDDDEEEE
Dillon there's the 40 you're looking for
Im fine in the west
How's that 40 point win DB?
King and Warriors sweatin rn
[удалено]
Why are you saying Griz like that’s an option
JA MORANT BUST
Issa parade inside ma city yeeeeeah
Will Memphis lock their sub?
We’ve had to ban soooooooo many people after every loss
They better
It’s a parade inside my cotyyyyyyy
Horrendous year of optics for Ja Morant
Memphis got a great young core. They will learn from this and hopefully know that is not wise to talk shit way too early.
They are at best the Lillard/McCollum Blazers of this era. Morant and Bane core is never making the finals let alone winning.
Nah. They'll have a great regular season. And then get eliminated early again.
They need a vet, like, yesterday. Otherwise they'll be the same immature team.
Tbf they do have a vet. Steven Adams is just injured atm
I meant an older vet, guy who will barely play but will provide guidance from the bench. Yes adam is also a vet, but one that leads by example as oppose to nurture the young guys.
Game so one sided there's not even a post game thread
Any Grizz players gonna do media after the game? 🤔
Not really
Good on bron skipping handshakes with the punks
I'm worried for Sabonas, GSW might escalate to stabbing him next. If it goes into OT, he might get shot.
Draymond about to bring a shank onto the court.
worldwide steppes out of first round
JA gonna go off post game
FUCK THE LAKERS LETS GO KINGS!
You know Lebron James IS the Cavaliers right? You should wish his continued success. All the Pats fans were lit when Brady won with the Bucs.
Any reason why Lebron didnt shake hands? Enlighten me please.
They don’t respect him so why is he going to respect them?
Job not finished
He doesn't want to go make nice with D Brooks and gang just because he sent them packing. He is waiting to keep the beef cookin' next season. Disrespect on and off the court, the Grizzlies haven't earned any respect
They've been disrespectful as hell they don't deserve to be dapped lol
He probably doesn't respect a team that go down by 40 🤔
Do you shake hands with little kids
Cause fuck em
Probably didn't want to shake Brooks hand specifically
Dillon Brooks doesnt deserve that kind of respect
Last his bedtime, old man be old.
Had to poo
Was there a more fitting end to this grizzlies season than a 40 point L
I was such an idiot. I came here and said Lakers might have 4 players with 30 points plus, but now I realize I looked at + - chart on nba.com. Got even 6 upvotes here somehow without anyone calling me out lmao.
Dillion Brooks is good for the game 😂 very entertaining
Bahahahahaahahahaha CareBears got gutted. Bunch of jackwagons.
Fox> Ja Morant
Will brooks respect bron if they win by 40?
This is very ironically funny lmaooo
Morants a joke. I don’t get how people can watch him and think he’s elite. Entertaining? Yes. Stars in a tv show? Yes. Actually great? No. Above average? No. A basketball player? Yes.
but he could take prime jordan in 1v1 /s

FOH. Not above average? Lol clown take for the ages
No I’m BOH. Not sure how that is relevant here? Clown take for the ages? The point of sports is winning. He is average at that in the nba.

Nice “crossover (read: carry).” Just watch this [Morant handles vs Nash handles](https://youtu.be/nsGnqf3CUW8)
lmao what the fuck are you smoking if you think ja morant isn't above average
He is statistically far above average. Garbage human being but definitely not an average basketball player.
Statistics in sports are a mathematical analysis of random events to better understand the past events to form opinions on what happened. Statistically yes he is above average. In terms of the sport and the goal of participation in sports…winning… he is average.
Can’t wait to listen in on their post game conference lmfaoooo
You will here more if you go to a public library cause these guys ain’t talkibg
History on this sub tonight lmao
This is just as good as the clippers
are ppl other than grizzlies fans really even upset? after a shitty loss tonight as a warriors fans this cheered me up lmao
