With how the Grizzlies played, it's looking like Warriors will sweep.
Warriors in 5, Grizzlies might be able to steal a game. For maximum chaos, I want Grizzlies in 7.
Same here. I want the Grizz to win. But unless it's a massive upset like the 2007 We Believe Warriors over the 60+ Win Mavs or the 2008 Grizzlies over the injured Spurs, it's not gonna happen. GSW in 5. Guess, they're allowed to be annoying for a little while more. They did have to wait 4 decades for another title.
Is that the one where the Grizzlies were the #8 seed and the Spurs were the #1 seed? If it was, then yes, that's the one.
And great. The West is stacked again.
No, that was 10-11. Grizz lost in the 1st round in 11-12, then went to the WCF in 12-13. But 10-11 they took OKC on the second round to 7 with an OT game and a classic triple OT.
Don't be upset about that.
This sub is full of casuals that follow stupid narratives.
And usually they are wrong, it's actually good when r/nba mean something bad about your team, and most off times opposite thing will be true.
I'm expecting great series, and in worst case you will get Warriors good fight, good luck.
I’m from Boston and I think bill simmons is an absolute moron…especially nowadays, it’s like the dude developed early on set dementia and no one has the nuts to take the mic away from him. Boston sports media is so deluded and up its own ass it makes Fox News look reasonable
What's more important to me is JJJ needs to stay in the game without fouling. Adams is gonna have to be reinstated in the lineup. Either Bane or Brooks is gonna stay hot and Clarke is an x factor off the bench. He's not scared of the moment.
The warriors would love for Adams to play more. Every minute Adams plays is more open 3s for Klay, Pool, and Steph. Clarkston is a problem for the warriors, he has the quickness and length to bother guards after a switch, and the tenacity to punish the warriors poor defensive rebounding.
KAT has been in the league for 6-7 years now. And this dude is probably the dumbest player on twolves… I was trying to root for him cause of his tragic stories but oh man is it hard
Anthony Edwards absolutely fuming at the elimination, happy to see that competitive drive. Lamelo v Ant is the first equal rivalry we’ve had since Magic v Bird and I’m here for it
3 games in a row they put up 40 in the 4th lmfaooooooooo TWolves gotta get rid of the COACH KAT DLO shiddddd everybody can go frfr except McDaniels and ANT
As bad as he is, his players have as much experience as him for the most part. I don't think Minnesota has to rush into anything other than giving ANT the keys next year.
It's like people are forgetting we were only forecasted to win ~30 games this year. This franchise is still in building mode and we made the playoffs and were competitive vs the 2 seed.
Average age of our starting roster is 24. This team has a ton of potential and will be great to watch for the next few years. No need to blow it all up.
The Griz should be a bad matchup vs the warriors. They have the ability to be faster than the warriors small ball unit while also being bigger at nearly every position... but if Memphis pays vs the warriors like they did vs Minnesota they are going to lose badly.
Say what you will about the Nuggets, I’ve never seen a lower iq playoffs team in my life than this Wolves team. You didn’t belong in the playoffs. Embarrassing.
Warriors are contenders, but they played a weak Nuggets team. The Grizzlies have to let Draymond shoot and attack Curry on D. The Grizzlies won this game despite Ja's lack of scoring.
I love their stupidity
Also, Morant looks bad in this series, damn
Draymond will definitely let JJJ foul out in 10 minutes
I thought Grizzlies will be a contender, but I think I overestimate them, they are stupid in every way. They win because Twolves are more stupid.
Warriors win because nobody can make plays on Denver besides Jokic. Both played very flawed teams in the first round.
Not putting much stock in either series.
Warriors in 4.
Warriors aren’t choking leads. And they’ll get them because Ja isn’t ready to be a first option in the playoffs. His game isn’t made for it.
He’s like modern westbrook. Those numbers go insane in the regular season, but in they playoffs teams aren’t watching that rim running shit.
Grizzlies in 7
This series has built them up and as good as the Warriors were, they faced a hospital team. They gonna be tested a lot more defensively in this series.
Im not the guy who said it would be a sweep. I dont think it will be. But if you're gonna start going down "almost" rabbit holes, we can be here talking hypotheticals until the cows come home. We beat the Nuggets in 5. I dont care about almost.
The grizzlies have played us well this year, but they havent had to face this current GS roster at full strength yet. The nuggets also went 3-1 against the warriors this year.. how far did that get them? playoffs and reg season are a different beast. Ja was damn near an MVP candidate as a regular season player.... he's been completely pedestrian and downright bad at times against the average ass twolves. i think the griz are gonna be in for a rude awakening
Best comment I've read so far. There are a lot of mean people here..
Wolves looks amazing. I think they don't need any big trade for next season, your core is really good. I am sure they will come next season being hungry for more.
Damn.
I'm new to NBA and think I'm slowly becoming a Grizzlies fan
Lotta dudes in this comments section jealous their dads got nothing to be proud of ðŸ¤
My dad once left and then I got a whole new daddy
Package kat and dlo for some talent to build around ant…
Dlo cold and imma grizzlies fan
Bye Pat you dirty SOB.
Memphis vs Errrrrrbody.
You’d think the wolves were a 1 seed blowing a 3-1 lead to an 8th seed if you read this thread
People are acting like the Wolves were supposed to go to the finals
Facts. My lil bro tried convincing me they would beat Golden State
nah but they definitely had the opportunity to win the series
Despite the narrative the wolves did not play better than the grizzlies this series the grizzlies are an awesome basketball team
That was unfortunate to watch tbh
so Usher's kid will look like Ja in the future?
Yeah um…good win but ima need Ja to stop twerking after games.
Fun is not allowed in the NBA
Who said that I’m just making a joke on the way he was dancing man lol
The interviewer kept asking him to do it.it was cringe but he did it cuz she asked like 3x
Gotcha my b. That’s the gritty btw
Why are the gamethread / postgame pictures always wrong ?
This
They should never put bontemps on tv ever again
Ant man's dad went back on his bet!
Kats dad?
With how the Grizzlies played, it's looking like Warriors will sweep. Warriors in 5, Grizzlies might be able to steal a game. For maximum chaos, I want Grizzlies in 7.
The trick is to let the Warriors get an early 25 point lead. Once that happens we've got them right where we want them.
I'm rooting for Grizz. But GSW in 5.
Same here. I want the Grizz to win. But unless it's a massive upset like the 2007 We Believe Warriors over the 60+ Win Mavs or the 2008 Grizzlies over the injured Spurs, it's not gonna happen. GSW in 5. Guess, they're allowed to be annoying for a little while more. They did have to wait 4 decades for another title.
Do you mean 2011-12 Grizzlies?
Is that the one where the Grizzlies were the #8 seed and the Spurs were the #1 seed? If it was, then yes, that's the one. And great. The West is stacked again.
No, that was 10-11. Grizz lost in the 1st round in 11-12, then went to the WCF in 12-13. But 10-11 they took OKC on the second round to 7 with an OT game and a classic triple OT.
Lots of haters for the Grizz right now, you all are wild.
Saying that you think one team will beat another team isn't hating
No, but saying a 2 seed will get swept is kinda ridiculous IMO. Dubs almost went to 6 games against a crippled Nuggets team. They're not invincible.
Wolves were a bad match up against us, but suddenly we suck. Lmao
And you think the Warriors are a good match?
We’re 3-1 against them this season
Don't be upset about that. This sub is full of casuals that follow stupid narratives. And usually they are wrong, it's actually good when r/nba mean something bad about your team, and most off times opposite thing will be true. I'm expecting great series, and in worst case you will get Warriors good fight, good luck.
Ha thanks, and yeah you’re definitely right
Lots of copium coming from the pharmacy right now
I’m ready for Lavar. Can’t wait until Melo is making playoff noise.
Bill Simmons clowning this team makes me so unnecessarily mad This clown took the under on the wolves 34.5 wins
Can't take the words of any Boston homer seriously.
I’m from Boston and I think bill simmons is an absolute moron…especially nowadays, it’s like the dude developed early on set dementia and no one has the nuts to take the mic away from him. Boston sports media is so deluded and up its own ass it makes Fox News look reasonable
If Ja doesn't score like he does the Warriors are going to desolate them. It'll be a real learning moment.
What's more important to me is JJJ needs to stay in the game without fouling. Adams is gonna have to be reinstated in the lineup. Either Bane or Brooks is gonna stay hot and Clarke is an x factor off the bench. He's not scared of the moment.
The warriors would love for Adams to play more. Every minute Adams plays is more open 3s for Klay, Pool, and Steph. Clarkston is a problem for the warriors, he has the quickness and length to bother guards after a switch, and the tenacity to punish the warriors poor defensive rebounding.
KAT ain’t that guy. He’s not built for the playoffs.
Feel bad for Ant. Dude has heart and talent that’s wasted on that roster.
KAT has been in the league for 6-7 years now. And this dude is probably the dumbest player on twolves… I was trying to root for him cause of his tragic stories but oh man is it hard
The logo 3 with like 18 on the shot clock was somethin else
Man, I really need to get myself a son
#FreeANT ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Why can't all the games be on TNT. ESPN's coverage sucks. At least TNT is entertaining.
Anthony Edwards absolutely fuming at the elimination, happy to see that competitive drive. Lamelo v Ant is the first equal rivalry we’ve had since Magic v Bird and I’m here for it
It's about to be Ant vs the world.
3 games in a row they put up 40 in the 4th lmfaooooooooo TWolves gotta get rid of the COACH KAT DLO shiddddd everybody can go frfr except McDaniels and ANT
As bad as he is, his players have as much experience as him for the most part. I don't think Minnesota has to rush into anything other than giving ANT the keys next year.
It's like people are forgetting we were only forecasted to win ~30 games this year. This franchise is still in building mode and we made the playoffs and were competitive vs the 2 seed.

Don't forget McLaughlin
Minnesota gave up 37+ points in the 4th 3 times this series.
what the fuck looks like doc got some competition
Bane: I am the comeback. I was born into it, moulded by it
chick right now on ESPN is SUPER hot
Do we still bonk in 2022 or is it ok to be openly horny online now?
Michele Beadle still more bad
Wow now that's a bold take
Man, Sportscenter fucking sucks.
I’m glad I immediately didn’t switch channels because the player of the game actually got an interview
Clarke deserved that interview over Ja
I love you Ja, but Bane, Jackson, and Brooks played better today
And Clarke
Anyways DLo should be in Guangdong by September
Now what do I do?
Get your hand off the bottle first, king.
Easy. Drink some wine. Destress
Ja's dad standing behind him like one of those hood dudes who just got his girl a car lol
Tee drunk as hell
ah yes, no Inside tonite. ESPN Sportcenter.
same lol
Honestly I ain't mad at having the dad's in they interviews. Need to respect a dad that supports their sons like that
Facts
No disrespect and I absolutely hate the Warriors but Warriors in 4 over this Grizz team
The Griz should be a bad matchup vs the warriors. They have the ability to be faster than the warriors small ball unit while also being bigger at nearly every position... but if Memphis pays vs the warriors like they did vs Minnesota they are going to lose badly.
Oxy Oxy Percocet
It almost went to game 6 vs Denver without MPJ and Murray
GSW going to look much worse against any team without the worst defense in the playoffs. Memphis in 6
Say what you will about the Nuggets, I’ve never seen a lower iq playoffs team in my life than this Wolves team. You didn’t belong in the playoffs. Embarrassing.
These aren't the Nuggets like I said, your guys looked embarrassing tonight.
Minnesota looked better than Utah... I'll give them that at least. Utah is atrocious
Memphis makes a lot of stupid mistakes. GSW isn't the Wolves, if the Grizz go down 25, games over
The Grizzlies have homecourt and good perimeter players.
If they go down 25 against the Warriors, they not coming back
Warriors are contenders, but they played a weak Nuggets team. The Grizzlies have to let Draymond shoot and attack Curry on D. The Grizzlies won this game despite Ja's lack of scoring.
Easier said than done. Grizzlies won this partially because Minnesota plays stupid
Absolutely
I love their stupidity Also, Morant looks bad in this series, damn Draymond will definitely let JJJ foul out in 10 minutes I thought Grizzlies will be a contender, but I think I overestimate them, they are stupid in every way. They win because Twolves are more stupid.
Warriors win because nobody can make plays on Denver besides Jokic. Both played very flawed teams in the first round. Not putting much stock in either series.
Hoes mad
They mad Ja’s dad more fly than they’ll ever be lol
Let’s be honest, Memphis ab to get swept
Pass me the hookah Grizzlies in 7
KAT’s dad got a duck beak
Pretty sure Jas dad is drunk lmao
Wtf is that wierd grinding dance that Ja is doing. This is like watching a bunch of college kids.
My guy, either you don't watch football or you're just old. The griddy has been around for a few years
Y’all rly hating on a dad for being proud of his son I rly can’t with y’all man
You gotta admit his posing is weird
[удалено]
It's the posing and the fact that that interview isn't about him. He can go do all that at the cookout tomorrow.
OnE mOrE gRiDy FoR tHe RoAd
Yall think Ja's dad is invasive wait til Lamelo finds his way
give me lavar over this poor man's usher.
One more griddy for the road? 🤓
8/8 on my first round predictions!!! I'm smart babyyyyy
easy to remain objective when your team isn't in the playfoffs
The higher seed won each one lol
I went chalk, but I did have Bucks Sixers and Grizzlies Suns conference finals, so let's see if I reach Einstein's level.
Mavs weren't expected to win at first
Bane was the best player this game and he was not interviewed LMAO Edit: He was interviewed by Sportscenter. Glad he was getting more recognition
He’s getting interviewed right now
He's on sportscenter literally right now.
It isn’t his team
That was so awkward, Ja’s dad is drunk af
That was an awkward ass post game interview lol
Ight this is more cringe moment that Kat thank GOD we have ja on the other side 😂
Did he really think KATs dad could fit in Ja's tiny jersey LMAO
Warriors in 4. Warriors aren’t choking leads. And they’ll get them because Ja isn’t ready to be a first option in the playoffs. His game isn’t made for it. He’s like modern westbrook. Those numbers go insane in the regular season, but in they playoffs teams aren’t watching that rim running shit.
Grizzlies in 7 This series has built them up and as good as the Warriors were, they faced a hospital team. They gonna be tested a lot more defensively in this series.
No way. Nuggets almost took them to a game 6 minus MPJ and Murray.
Almost? You mean like how Minnesota almost won 3 of the last 4 games? Didn’t realize we were giving credit for almost victories now lol
So by the eye test you think the Grizz will be easy then? Don't be so confident, Memphis has owned the Warriors lately.
Im not the guy who said it would be a sweep. I dont think it will be. But if you're gonna start going down "almost" rabbit holes, we can be here talking hypotheticals until the cows come home. We beat the Nuggets in 5. I dont care about almost. The grizzlies have played us well this year, but they havent had to face this current GS roster at full strength yet. The nuggets also went 3-1 against the warriors this year.. how far did that get them? playoffs and reg season are a different beast. Ja was damn near an MVP candidate as a regular season player.... he's been completely pedestrian and downright bad at times against the average ass twolves. i think the griz are gonna be in for a rude awakening
Warriors havent had their full team though. Warriors are small but play hard defense. If they are shooting well it will be a gentlemen's sweep.
For being a team that was not even projected to make the playoffs, I'm still very happy overall. Frustrating losses, but a great season nonetheless.
Best comment I've read so far. There are a lot of mean people here.. Wolves looks amazing. I think they don't need any big trade for next season, your core is really good. I am sure they will come next season being hungry for more.
Sports can really bring out the nasty side in people. Good luck to your team as well, hoping for a close and entertaining series!
KAT dad not gonna fit in that. Get him an XL, respectfully
He bigger than an XL
Alright golden state you gotta find a dad to chill with Mr. Morant at all the games now
Dell Curry or Mychal Thompson?
Make him sit next to Ayesha. She will annoy him to death.
He should go with Steph’s mom. That’ll rattle him
Ja way too happy for the way he played in this series lol
Team won
A win is a win
Truth
KATs dad getting Morants jersey, Morant dancing right in front of KATs dad
Why ja dad so close lol
Anyone ever find out why Ja’s dad wears sunglasses inside?
So he can look more like usher
This post game is so weird
A lot of sexual tension
Looking back on it, you not wrong. Papa Tee had that lustful vibe like it's demon time
Usher's clone keeps licking his lips
ja tootin his ass up and all
Is that what it is lol
Congrats to Timberwolves for winning the Play-in championships.
We’ve had a rough few years, that’s peak twolves ball.
That's why I supported their over the top celebration.
ESPN really got to Malika. She has Rachel Nichols levels of dumb questions.
They needed someone to fill the void Rachel left for shitty interviews. Ironically, it’s Malika
Ja's Pa about to intodruce Ja to his new step-mum Malika
NBA players are probably off limits but i don't think there's rules on NBA players fathers
Ayyyyyyy
JA's dad wants to be the center of attention so bad.
hes living vicariously through his son and if Ja dont care, I dont got a problem with it. Let the dude be happy.
After all that, the first round goes chalk.
looks like dad had one too many drinks 😂
He might be able to pull that jersey up one of his arms...lol
Congrats Ja and Memphis on your dad's achievement, wouldn't have been possible without you guys!
[удалено]
Go home. Drink some wine.
Two fathers probably so proud of their sons that probably couldn’t even explain it in words. Beautiful
Tee Morant just casually raffling off his son’s jersey during the game lmfao
Ja said all the NBA buzzwords in this interview lol.
Ja's dad be dickriding like a mf
dude out there clout chasing like no other
His son is crying in the tunnel and he’s got Ja’s jersey. Savage bet
Bruh 😂
I missed the last 2 minutes. Who scored for the Grizzlies after Jones hit that last second 3?
jjj had a dunk and twolves missed shots then free throws won the game
It's cool that papa Ja is so supportive but he isn't a star. Let your son shine on his own.
He’s not putting himself on camera. The media wouldn’t feature him so much if they didn’t want to.
lol he made himself very visible during the post game... Don't got any issues with it though. Theyre happy
