Dude, he made a joke.

Not a chance

Not a chance

It’s obvious he was being facetious. Rachel Nichols made a joke of her own in response and they both laughed. Later on he said we would have worn an eye patch like a pirate. People have fun in different ways. Some people act like they saw three rims. Others mock those people for two days. We’re all just water.

Well said, spot on, amen, Day2. Textbook handling of a troll. Bravissimo, maestro!

Lakers are now -250 over Phoenix in this series.
Suns are +190.

It's too bad. I really want to see the Suns make a run but the Lakers are pretty much the worst matchup imaginable for them. The one or two games where CP3 is going off and talking to Caruso/Matthews/KCP will be fun though.

Lmao. From the guy who derails almost every thread he enters (not CR).

Do better.

Lead by example.

Playoff basketball.

It's a great time as the weather is getting better, the NBA stars start to shine, and the Clippers get eliminated in the first or second round.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

My 2 cents’ is the Jazz would prefer playing the Warriors. What say thee, resident Utah fans OttoinGrotto & cliftonparksufan?

Ja Morant is a ton of fun to watch hoop, but Curry could go nuts in a series and carry his team.

I'd rather take the young, inexperienced group in the Grizz.

I know the play in games typically won’t be this hype, but they definitely drew me back in as someone who hasn’t watched the NBA since halfway through the bubble.

Also, Kwame Brown ethering half the NBA world gave the league some life for me.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This Grizz GSW game is fun.

 

[longislandcuse]

Where are people on the Ja vs Zion debate now?

Not making a sassy remark.. genuinely asking.

 

[jncuse]

Love watching Valanciunas operate so effectively for the Grizz in this game.
He was always a good playoff performer and loved playing for the Raptors. Hurts not having him now on a reasonable $16 million dela. But in the end I still think it was the right move to get Gasol as he was such a dominant defensive player for a few of those rounds in 2019, and just became burnt very quickly

Zion is probably better, but I am still concerned that his production could deteriorate rather quickly and earlier then other stars (i.e. late 20's) because of his weight and the wear and tear.

That being said I think JA Morant could have more team success earlier in his career. Memphis just seems to do such a great job of developing young supporting core and non core talent. (Brooks, Bane, Jackson, Clarke).

 

[jncuse]

Why no challenge? What did they have to lose?

I would not want to see curry right now if I was Utah.

 

[jncuse]

Great game. Cheering for the Grizz - this fell apart pretty quick

 

[longislandcuse]

I would not want to see curry right now if I was Utah.

Reminds me of the Portland/Dame teams of years past.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Not great execution by either team down the stretch.

 

[jncuse]

Memphis losing Valanciunas via foul out is a pretty big loss for them.

 

[cuseattle]

Warriors with 19 turnovers still get to o.t.
You could rent advertising space on Kyle Anderson's forehead.
