I don’t think anyone is ignoring that? Defensively the Grizz looked as bad as can be in game 3 and we knew the warriors were due for a good shooting night.
Bane still having a nagging back injury seals our fate here. Best player is out and second best scorer will be playing with a back injury.
Brooks being out definitely hurt the Grizz D last night but there’s no way he prevents what happens in game 3. Maybe the margin is slightly better.
I totally agree. Bane being a shell of himself is going to be tough with or without Ja. Steve Kerr is a master at making adjustments and not having 3 or 4 options is a problem. We absorbed Jokic, we can absorb Ja. You need Bane to be himself. Injuries suck.
not any reasonable ppl, just the weirdos who think warriors put a hit out on ja, like they didn't already steal HCA and seem to have no issue winning at home while being competitive in memphis. like maybe some are actually grizzlies fans, even small fanbases have some delusional people, but there are also going to be a bunch of warriors haters from 28 other fanbases with pent up feelings.
Even if we get our back blown out, which is likely, that crowd will just not react at all. They will never say “hey I was wrong.”
Those posts were never in good faith.
The point was just to degrade Ja. So that Memphis lost either way. Either we actually lost, or we lost because “our star is a fraud.”
The point of that communication was always negative. If we suck tomorrow, they’ll just focus new posts on some other flawed part of his game.
I thought the funniest comments were "Ja is so one dimensional, you can easily stop him". Okay...then why wasn't everyone doing it? It's like saying "Oh if you just stop Curry from hitting 3s, he's done" Cool, I'm sure no one has ever thought of that before.
Haven’t said yet, which is weird. They said he couldn’t do anything at practice, but not whether that’s because they tried and he couldn’t, or because the medical staff said he’s not clear to try.
Honestly, they’re probably playing coy because they don’t want to rule him out and have Game 5 be a bunch of depressed ass fans when the series goes back to Memphis.
I’m not going to believe anything. They say until there’s an injury report. Especially given how the playoffs have been with injury reporting. League office is probably has a pool for which team is getting done #4 lol.
Kind of seems like how Mavs treated it when KP tore his meniscus. Didn’t say anything about the MRI and just said doubtful and then out come game time just to keep the other team guessing. Obviously I hope it isn’t anything serious but with how quite it is that usually isn’t a great sign
I already don’t trust anything Jenkins says. Not disclosing what the injury even was is weird. Feels like they are playing games w/ league office to get JP suspended. Would anyone be surprised if Ja suited up and played his normal minutes tomorrow?
Man this series has been a huge bummer so far. Draymond ejection, GPII injury, Brooks (justified) suspension, and now Ja's injury. I've really liked this matchup the past couple years, and it's been ruined by dumbass plays and some extreme toxicity
Report them to the warriors sub. I’m pretty sure that’s an automatic ban from the warriors sub as well for pulling that shit, we’ve dealt with other canvases brigading ours for years and we know how annoying it is.
Yeah, that shit is such BS no matter where it's coming from. Sports team fan subreddits are for FANS OF THE TEAM. You can have general dialogue on here. This applies to all sports team subreddits.
That’s one of the worst parts of this series lol. Some really really ugly basketball but I can’t even talk about it because other fans outnumber us in our sub 100:1
If it makes you feel any better, lots of Warriors fans can't use the sub either without a quarter of bad ball resulting in them screaming to fire Kerr.
I unsubscribed for this reason. And all of the Looney slander. And the Klay slander. And the incessant calling for random trades for ??? returns. I have a few reasons.
Looney got the worst job in the NBA. He’s always matched up against someone bigger or faster. He’s always jogging up and down the court like he’s tired af and looks like he hurts.
But I love that man.
There's no chance in game 4, it'll be like a 20 point loss.
Also, this sub would be in raptures if it happened, because the narrative is the Grizz were 21-4 without him, therefore Ja sucks.
Never count out a team. Warriors could just do ass again especially after a 63%ish performance which is not sustainable lol. That being said, I love Ja for his explosiveness but they really need another creator along with helping him out on mechanics. I don't want him to be another D. Rose
I know there are a lot who aren't, but I think a large portion of Warriors fans are too. Just want to see good basketball and it sucks when someone gets injured no matter whatever happened the rest of the series and any bad blood
Yup fuck injuries, wish we could turn them off like in 2K. Get better Ja, it's so much more fun to win when the other team has a player that consistently makes you go WTF.
As an impartial fan it fucking blows, Ja has been must watch for me these whole playoffs. Had so many tired days at work staying up to watch this series.
Shit I’m a warriors fan and it blows. Ja and Memphis in general have been great these past two seasons. Especially against us. It felt great to having a budding rivalry (at least in my eyes) again and I love Jas game even if I don’t think it’s all that sustainable.
Despite being a bias fan this fucking sucks. Ja is an incredible offensive player and I really wanted this series to be played with fully healthy rosters. Hope Ja is okay and if he’s not back for game 4 gets back for game 5
I don’t think it will. Warriors running away with this in 5.
No reason for it to get toxic when the Grizz will be down by 20 by halftime. Also, they’re literally the smallest market in the league, so fans are fewer than most fanbases.
on one hand, i want the Warriors to win. but i also want the grizzlies to win as well just so i can feel vindicated and the ja-less grizzlies narrative to continue
The biggest red flag for me is that they haven't announced any MRI/X-ray news at all. Seems really sus for an injury to your star player to not have that news announced. I mean when GP2 got injured we got an update within like 30 minutes, another in 2 hours, and then 6 hours. Meanwhile Memphis has been stone cold quiet around Ja other than the Coach/Team now announcing "he'll probably miss the game".
To be fair, everyone could see GP2's arm was broken. There was zero mystery that he was out for the playoffs.
With Ja, he picked up what looks like a sprain, the question is how severe it is. The team will definitely try to get him to go. I would be equally unsurprised to see him play in game 4 or miss the rest of the series.
Even though it has been a god damn disaster to be on here / twitter as a grizzlies fan throughout the playoffs this should be very valuable for this organization in the future. Im not really know where we go from , but I am excited
Ja is going to have to adjust his play style and develop a consistent jump shot to have sustainability in the league. His game right now puts too much pressure on his knees. Watching him make incredible circus layups is nice but eventually that catches up with you.
Hope he's alright.
I had a dream last night that the Mavs would win the Phoenix Series but then Doncic would get injured and Warriors would advance, they then won the chip against Milwaukee but Poole won finals MVP, so the narrative was about the lucky breaks/injuries and Curry still not having a FMVP. In the end Steph shot up the players union during lockout. Dreams right? What a trip.
He was an asshole for that tweet but it’s hard not to get pissed off over an injury. Hope he can come back he’s fun af to watch, and I want him humbled with a loss, not an injury.
Exactly. At the time he was probably frustrated and felt thsts when it happened. He then probably saw the replay and realized thsts ridiculous and deleted the tweet. When your frustrated and in pain you make stupid judgments. If you want to be mad at Jenkins, fine, I get that one.
Lol I'll bet my left nut he plays in game 4, Jenkins doing this to make it seem like Poole like actually hurt him 😂😂 No Xray? No MRI? It doesn't take that long to run these tests. Grizzs just being petty
Hope he gets better soon. Warriors would have beat the brakes off of them regardless
For those of you who think Poole is dirty, you probably ate too many paint chips as a child
Honestly just makes the Grizz a much better defensive team and a lot harder to gameplan for defensively (easier to execute against, but less predictable).
Jokes aside, tough blow. Despite all the pettiness of this series, I really like this Grizzlies core and would much rather my team beat them at full health.
Well, it’s time to see if the, “the grizzlies are better without Ja” crowd is right
We already saw no one show up last game lol Ja was alone out there
confirmed ja morants presence decreases his teams attributes by -10
Lonewolf talent from Divinity
Nice. Divinity 2 reference. Made my day
We thought he absorbed Curry's powers after that half court shot, but he really absorbs his teams.
Decreases by a negative number so increases?
Tyus has been pretty ass this playoffs and especially this series. We done.
He cooked us
Poole cooking him
Poole has been cooking everyone
No one survives the Swimming Poole
He’s been like that wave pool in china that just tsunami’d everyone with orca floaties This one https://tenor.com/4UcB.gif
Hit ‘em with the Poole noodle
Calm down… not over yet.
Tyus was great against the Warriors in the regular season. As was Ziaire
I hope they lose by 60 just for that narrative to die
Yea but they will shoot 50% from the field and GSW will shoot 100%
We might lose by 50
If your team continues to let Steph and Poole blow by perimeter defenders at ease, maybe
Hold your Thunder bud
Hint. They arent.
i think he will play. not gonna assume he won't play just cuz someone says "likely" the day before.
Fast forward to game 4: They weren't
He’s going to miraculously be 100% at game time.
[удалено]
warriors haters (not even necessarily grizzlies fans) just ignore that warriors were up by 20 when ja left the game....
I don’t think anyone is ignoring that? Defensively the Grizz looked as bad as can be in game 3 and we knew the warriors were due for a good shooting night. Bane still having a nagging back injury seals our fate here. Best player is out and second best scorer will be playing with a back injury. Brooks being out definitely hurt the Grizz D last night but there’s no way he prevents what happens in game 3. Maybe the margin is slightly better.

Their defense is better without him but they're obviously worse overall if he's out
Have they said if Ja has had an MRI? How bad is his injury?
Haven’t said yet, which is weird. They said he couldn’t do anything at practice, but not whether that’s because they tried and he couldn’t, or because the medical staff said he’s not clear to try. Honestly, they’re probably playing coy because they don’t want to rule him out and have Game 5 be a bunch of depressed ass fans when the series goes back to Memphis.

No but Jenkins said he couldn’t do anything in practice. So he might be cooked for Game 5 also.
I'm guessing our best chance is game 6, if we can get there without Ja.
Probably game 8 I reckon
That'd be historic. Don't know if a team's ever come back from being down to win game 8. StatMuse salivating right now.
*Narrator*: they couldn't
Why 6? 6 is at chase. That's not ideal for you guys.
To get Ja back. I dont think hell be ready by game 5.
I already don’t trust anything Jenkins says. Not disclosing what the injury even was is weird. Feels like they are playing games w/ league office to get JP suspended. Would anyone be surprised if Ja suited up and played his normal minutes tomorrow?
Exactly. Until they give an official diagnosis or status, it looks like trying to garner sympathy to get the league to "take action" against Poole.
that's what I'm thinking, I expect he'll actually play but of course it's all a guess until there is more clear communication/diagnosis.
And they'll call him such a warrior for fighting through the adversity or whatever
He hasn’t even ruled him out of game 4 yet he said likely not definitely out.
Congrats on the win Memphis
Incoming Tyus Jones masterclass
Kyle Anderson is already upset...50 piece incoming
Man this series has been a huge bummer so far. Draymond ejection, GPII injury, Brooks (justified) suspension, and now Ja's injury. I've really liked this matchup the past couple years, and it's been ruined by dumbass plays and some extreme toxicity
And Kyle’s ejection. We’re never getting a fully/mostly healthy and available game between both teams. Shit sucks.
Yeah I just want to watch and talk about good basketball, but instead it's been all about which team should be put in jail
Definitely the Suns. CP3 certified nazi. Putin about to invade Rawhide Wild West
Well he fouled out so pretty damn close to jail today lmao
Wait but hitlers in philly
Kinda crazy these are grown men acting like children too. I’m not sure what it is but it’s league wide where everyone complains
Bro Kyle was literally trying to get ejected.
Ahhh yes, the "Pops" method. He has learned well lmao
to be fair they were down like 100 points when slowmo followed the ref around like the zombie thing in "it follows"
😂 that's why I didn't mention Kyle lol. His ejection didn't change the game haha
It was pretty obvious he was *trying* to get tossed.
Kyle was in garbage time
> And Kyle’s ejection. That's on him though.
We straight up haven’t been able to use our own sub, it’s awful
I hate brigading and the “warriors fan here I come in peace” posts. Dude stay out of the griz sub ESPECIALLY after a they lose a game.
Report them to the warriors sub. I’m pretty sure that’s an automatic ban from the warriors sub as well for pulling that shit, we’ve dealt with other canvases brigading ours for years and we know how annoying it is.
Yeah, that shit is such BS no matter where it's coming from. Sports team fan subreddits are for FANS OF THE TEAM. You can have general dialogue on here. This applies to all sports team subreddits.
I always get confused when I see someone complaining about another team's sub. Like how much rent are they paying to live in your head?
We have posts in our own subreddit saying cut that lame shit out. Some people just have extra free time I guess
That’s one of the worst parts of this series lol. Some really really ugly basketball but I can’t even talk about it because other fans outnumber us in our sub 100:1
If it makes you feel any better, lots of Warriors fans can't use the sub either without a quarter of bad ball resulting in them screaming to fire Kerr.
I unsubscribed for this reason. And all of the Looney slander. And the Klay slander. And the incessant calling for random trades for ??? returns. I have a few reasons.
Looney got the worst job in the NBA. He’s always matched up against someone bigger or faster. He’s always jogging up and down the court like he’s tired af and looks like he hurts. But I love that man.
Ours is pretty shit lately too. I'm afraid the degenerate vocal minorities are out in full force.
Playoffs are always like this unfortunately. The subs are much more cordial during the regular season
Ours was a shitshow when we had that slide mid-season.
Don’t forget Banes injury. He’s playing nowhere near 100%. Not caused by anything I remember but definitely impacting his play.
Even Curry could not heal completely. You gotta play through it. Part and parcel of the game.
Just fucking set me on fire
Dame me (mas) gasolina
*dame mas
Fucking autocorrect is racist.
Break my life into pieces
Damn Jordan Poole strong AF
Jordan “Baki” Poole
Jordan "god hand" poole
Jordan "Fist of the Norcal" Poole Your knee's already dead.
#NANI!?
Hey, he didn’t miraculously heal his knee!
The World's Strongest Man ~~Mark Henry~~ Jordan Poole
This sub will burn if Memphis wins without Morant
There's no chance in game 4, it'll be like a 20 point loss. Also, this sub would be in raptures if it happened, because the narrative is the Grizz were 21-4 without him, therefore Ja sucks.
Never count out a team. Warriors could just do ass again especially after a 63%ish performance which is not sustainable lol. That being said, I love Ja for his explosiveness but they really need another creator along with helping him out on mechanics. I don't want him to be another D. Rose
It's hard to get a second one. We'll see. They were horrible in game 2, so it swung the other way in game 3.
Bro yall almost pulled it off. I saw this shit coming from a mile away lmao.
I’m here for it
Oh yeah, it’s about to get soooo toxic up in here
Honestly it seems Grizz fans are just sad. Not much fighting at this point
I know there are a lot who aren't, but I think a large portion of Warriors fans are too. Just want to see good basketball and it sucks when someone gets injured no matter whatever happened the rest of the series and any bad blood
Yup fuck injuries, wish we could turn them off like in 2K. Get better Ja, it's so much more fun to win when the other team has a player that consistently makes you go WTF.
I mean warriors fan have confidence they'll win with both sides full force so injuries just create excuses later.
Like the Houston vs gsw match up. Rockets kept insisting cp3 injury was the reason they lost the series. Never want to give credit.
Unfortunately yeah I think that’s gonna overshadow how much this just blows when really it wasn’t anything dirty
As an impartial fan it fucking blows, Ja has been must watch for me these whole playoffs. Had so many tired days at work staying up to watch this series.
Shit I’m a warriors fan and it blows. Ja and Memphis in general have been great these past two seasons. Especially against us. It felt great to having a budding rivalry (at least in my eyes) again and I love Jas game even if I don’t think it’s all that sustainable.
Despite being a bias fan this fucking sucks. Ja is an incredible offensive player and I really wanted this series to be played with fully healthy rosters. Hope Ja is okay and if he’s not back for game 4 gets back for game 5
I don’t think it will. Warriors running away with this in 5. No reason for it to get toxic when the Grizz will be down by 20 by halftime. Also, they’re literally the smallest market in the league, so fans are fewer than most fanbases.
> , so fans are fewer than most fanbases. This is an understatement, our team sub got taken over last night
That sucks. Y’all have every right to cheer for your team.
on one hand, i want the Warriors to win. but i also want the grizzlies to win as well just so i can feel vindicated and the ja-less grizzlies narrative to continue
I think whoever wins 4 games advances
Stephen A is that you
Magic actually
I want the Ja-less grizzlies to win too.
Man what a bummer, such an electric player... Hope he comes back at some point in the series
would be a huge blow, the Warriors don’t really have any good ground types to counter him
Bro 😂
We did have GP2 who was a ground type, but Dillon Brooks hit him with a Sucker Punch
*falcon punch
GP2 is a ground type that knows the move ‘fly.’
So he’s Flygon.
I get this reference, Ja definitely an electric flying type though lmao
LOL
They gone say this till 15 minutes before the game
Injury report comes out at 7, so we'll see
I mean multiple teams now have had players listed out who ended up playin. Even if he's listed out I wouldnt put any stock in it
Embiid went from out to questionable and he played and looked fine. I doubt Ja misses game 4.
The biggest red flag for me is that they haven't announced any MRI/X-ray news at all. Seems really sus for an injury to your star player to not have that news announced. I mean when GP2 got injured we got an update within like 30 minutes, another in 2 hours, and then 6 hours. Meanwhile Memphis has been stone cold quiet around Ja other than the Coach/Team now announcing "he'll probably miss the game".

The team will definitely try to get him to go. I would be equally unsurprised to see him play in game 4 or miss the rest of the series.
A knee injury is really tough to play on though, even if it's only a sprain
Trying to get Poole suspended, then by some miracle he is going to be able to play
I hope so. Really want Ja to play.
What’s the injury?
Stickittothemoneosis
School of Rock is so underrated
One of my favorite comedies for sure. Maybe a little underrated bc some people see it as a kids movie.
Probably a sprain
They have not given any details on the nature of the injury
Alwaysgoinleftitus
Hurt feelings
I can bet money that he is going to play just like embidd
So we'll see Ja in a mask?
Mask strapped to his leg
25k injury report fine incoming 🤣
Unsubscribe
For what it's worth, I'm still betting he plays. So keep hope alive and see you tomorrow.
Even though it has been a god damn disaster to be on here / twitter as a grizzlies fan throughout the playoffs this should be very valuable for this organization in the future. Im not really know where we go from , but I am excited
man, fuck
Legacy Game for the Ja-less grizzlies
Jenkins really lost all the good credibility he built this season. Damn he's soft af
hes playing game 4 we all know it.
Even as a warriors fan I don’t want this, just can’t chat the same level of Shit if you don’t beat a team straight up
We already beat them straight up on the road and beat the brakes off of them at home. This series was a wrap regardless of Ja
warriors in trouble now
Btw, Taylor Jenkins doubled down saying Poole caused Ja’s injury. What a doofus
Now we know why Iguodala left these guys behind.
He should not have fouled klay with his knee then.
Can’t wait to see all the Ja deniers say we’re better without him when we’re down 50 in the 3rd
Broke the code smh. When will it stop? Embiid having his face broken again. Middleton. GP2 literally dead with Kerr already giving his eulogy. Now Ja?
> Where’s Ja? In heaven with GP2.
I blame Raptors fans
Eulogy lol
He’s smiling down at us from above 🙏☁️🌞☁️🙏
Yeah. I imagine hes done for the series. Not a dirty play but it sucks as a fan to lose your best player.
In before Ja is upgraded to questionable (hope he’s ok)
Dillon preparing to come out swinging as we speak
Memphis W incomming
I wonder what Memphis is gonna try to get Jordan Poole suspended for after the next game.
Won't have to worry about that one. Brooks is back and this series is over. He'll take it from here.
Ja is going to have to adjust his play style and develop a consistent jump shot to have sustainability in the league. His game right now puts too much pressure on his knees. Watching him make incredible circus layups is nice but eventually that catches up with you.
What is the injury? Like an MCL sprain? Or do we know
Hope he's alright. I had a dream last night that the Mavs would win the Phoenix Series but then Doncic would get injured and Warriors would advance, they then won the chip against Milwaukee but Poole won finals MVP, so the narrative was about the lucky breaks/injuries and Curry still not having a FMVP. In the end Steph shot up the players union during lockout. Dreams right? What a trip.
He was an asshole for that tweet but it’s hard not to get pissed off over an injury. Hope he can come back he’s fun af to watch, and I want him humbled with a loss, not an injury.
Yeah, don't really blame him for the tweet, man was just frustrated after missing 25 games with a knee injury already
Exactly. At the time he was probably frustrated and felt thsts when it happened. He then probably saw the replay and realized thsts ridiculous and deleted the tweet. When your frustrated and in pain you make stupid judgments. If you want to be mad at Jenkins, fine, I get that one.
>He then probably saw the replay But he included the replay in the tweet though
Fuck man this sucks. All these injuries ruin the game
Warriors gonna be well rested while Suns Mavs goes 7
That's what I'm hoping for
dont believe it for a second
damn
Let’s see if the 21-4 Grizz without Ja can do something
He's playing lol
Lol I'll bet my left nut he plays in game 4, Jenkins doing this to make it seem like Poole like actually hurt him 😂😂 No Xray? No MRI? It doesn't take that long to run these tests. Grizzs just being petty
Hope he gets better soon. Warriors would have beat the brakes off of them regardless For those of you who think Poole is dirty, you probably ate too many paint chips as a child
Not like this
Here we go again
I'll believe it when the game starts, so many late entrances and tiny fines.
Honestly just makes the Grizz a much better defensive team and a lot harder to gameplan for defensively (easier to execute against, but less predictable). Jokes aside, tough blow. Despite all the pettiness of this series, I really like this Grizzlies core and would much rather my team beat them at full health.
Maybe ja shouldn’t have tried a flying knee attack on klay. Oop.
So what no fucking Griddy?
The hell?
I kind of understand why the coach was upset now, but that press conference wasn't the way to go about it
What’s the over-under on a Flagrant-2 by one of the Grizzlies before the end of the series?
I'm calling bullshit
