I will probably jinx this but since I don't care I'm willing to risk it. My goodness Boston is going to moonwalk into the finals. 

Yeah, man, did you not watch last year against a Middleton-less Milwaukee and Miami? Nothing comes easy for this Celtics team.

Parlay for Warriors and Lakers to both win is even money bet $100 win $100. Seems automatic.

Are you aware that there is a gambling forum which includes a specific thread on NBA gambling? No offense but nobody gives a shit about your live gambling updates. It's like hearing someone talk about their fantasy team. Good for them but nobody else cares.

You got the Grizzlies or?

[Aqua Buddha 14624]

I remember thinking during the '21 finals that had Golden State been healthy, they'd have run both the Bucks and the Suns out of the building.  Giannis is a generational player but the rest of the team seems like just a bunch of guys.

Refs at gs are a joke.

Bush league by Looney but even worse by the refs to not call it.

Sabonis has to have one of the most punchable faces in the league. His whine face is just so bad.

Nailed it. 

[ztejas 43547]

This is just screaming heartbreaking loss for Sacramento. 

[ztejas 43547]

Okay that Monk 3 was filthy. 

[Serak The Preparer 3434]

I still don't see this going back to Sacramento but it would be a cool scene if it did. I'm not a native Sacramentoian or whatever so not super invested in team, but I live just 30 minutes from the stadium, need to see if there's any outdoor watch parties.

[ztejas 43547]

Sacramento with a lot of boneheaded mistakes out here. 

Like - why is Fox passing up an open 3 to step into a 22 footer?

And Curry hits from 3. I've seen this movie before.

Poole sucks 

[ztejas 43547]

Fox just isn't at 100%. They would have won this series were he. 

(I mean they could still win it, but it's going to be dicier)

Sabonis is balancing it out a bit for the Warriors. 

Doing his best KAT impression out here.

.....let Huerter cook?

[Dutchrudder 11154]

Great 3 by Huerter, but then a bullshit foul call on that rebound on him. Refs are gonna do everything they can to keep GS in this.

Refs have called this plenty even. If they wanted to cook for the Ws they should have started awhile ago. 

Ws look old and tired. They better get up for G7. Kept waiting for them to make a run and they never did. They're just getting their ass kicked now - should bench the starters.

I laughed out loud when he chased that loose ball past half court all the way out of bounds.

Do Ws fans even like that guy at this point? Such a loud mouth douche and he's been awful this playoffs.

That team was a mess and barely made the playoffs. And even then all 4 games were within 7 points, Tatum played 42 mpg and they got some very friendly officiating against KD. You're sort of proving his point.

Yeah the refs let them rough up KD like it was suddenly 80s rules

Reeves getting on my nerves.  Hard to root for this guy

I mean... I'm not pretending like Durant played well last year. And they still got swept. But they never ran them out of the gym or anything. 

[ztejas 43547]

This is over. Memphis is down to like 4.5 NBA players at this point. 

[closetohumping 17480]

Memphis can’t win.  Where’s Ja?

To be fair to Ja - Memphis is giving Konchar and Aldama minutes in game 6 of a playoff series on the road.

Yea but he’s dumping it into Tillman who’s being guarded by AD.   Do something Ja

[SilasCoade 2622]

His hand is clearly messed up. 

[ztejas 43547]

What do you do if you're Memphis' FO? Are you just like, "Welp - good run boys - let's pack it up and get ready for next season!"

Everyone is signed through next year except Brooks. He made $12M this season - are they or anyone else going to pay him that much going forward?

Outside of that - do you just hope for better injury luck?

I just can't imagine being excited about this group going into 2024 if I'm a Grizz fan. 

Then in 2024-2025 you have to give Tyus Jones and Desmond Bane probably 40-45M/yr combined. You'll have an aging Steven Adams on the books for $12M. 

Idk. I'm trying to envision their path to a potential Finals or championship the next few years and I think you really have to squint and hope a lot of stuff goes right. I don't think Ja and JJJ is a championship duo - certainly not with some better help around them. They both seem like low IQ guys on offense.

Edited April 29, 2023 by ztejas

[closetohumping 17480]

I wonder if there’s a weird negative dynamic between brown and Tatum?

 

 

as for the griz.  They done. Bad character team

[Mitch Cumsteen 18594]

Russell out of his mind tonight. 

[closetohumping 17480]

This is your Memphis stfu moment.  You and your bad hand too Ja awful

[Mitch Cumsteen 18594]

Regarding Memphis… they need to run it back mostly. That’s still a very young team that lost two key front court players plus Kennard for the playoffs. And Ja is clearly bothered with the hand. That wasn’t a team close to 100%. The roster needs some tweaking but they can build around Ja, JJJ and Bane. They need some athletic wings. They need to grow the fuck up. They need to ditch Brooks. 

[UpperWestside 6190]

If you have a high school aged boy might wanna keep them away from Morant for awhile. This humiliation could not happen to a better guy.
