Ja goes down hard. 

Great shot making down the stretch by the Knicks. KAT is unguardable when he wants to be. Terrible decision making by the young Jalen Durham on the jump ball and inbound pass. Young fella gotta grow from this. Maybe I'm biased but I'm still taking Cade over Brunson if only because he's much more fun to watch.

Goddamn - just saw the Morant fall.  Like Bitadze on Porzingis last night, not intentional but reckless w/ a terrible outcome.  Morant's moreso than KP's, for sure.

I'd still bet a decent amount of money that OKC is coming out of the West, but, if LAC get out of the first round, that's going to be one hell of a series. The defacto WCF.

I mean, Dort is involved in a lot of “not intentional but reckless” plays.

My LAL will beat either IMO.

Same here.  Outscored, I think, 63-31, in the second half. Epic collapse 

Not a huge surprise when their best player goes out and misses the entire 2nd half and you're playing the best team in the league

I mean if Pippen jr. just takes the wide open layup instead of passing back to Ja, there’s nothing to talk about. Dort was just reacting.

Memphis lost? Lolol I went to bed when they were up 20

Probably had something to do with the Ja injury. He got undercut by Dort while trying to finish at the rim and landed hard.  Never came back and the game flipped from that point on. He was on crutches later, so probably not gonna come back for game 4. OKC was getting destroyed up to that point, which was incredibly surprising.

I get it but, still, a pretty big collapse for a professional team.

I don't think Dort's play was malicious, he slipped while trying to recover, which caused him to bump Ja in mid-air. Like ocugolf said, if Pippen keeps the ball, it never happens, Memphis wins, the series is 2-1 OKC.  Or if Ja doesn't go for the highlight reel, he likely just goes around Dort and gets the layup (and probably an and-1 because Dort is flailing)

Also, Morant tried to literally jump over Dort.  He didn't and hit him in the head and shoulders instead and then fell on his hip.  He later came back to the bench on crutches so I'm assuming he's out for the series.  I guess he can get a head start on bangin' in the off season.

Agree about the Clippers being the second best team.  Their problem is OKC is a terrible matchup for them.  They can perfectly match them on that small ball lineup.  I'd say OKC in 5 or 6 at most.

Yes, this is Pippin Jr.’s fault. What an asshole, passing to the best dunker in the game. He basically injured himself with that pass.

I’m just saying if he makes the layup, Ja isn’t jumping. Dorts not reacting and there’s no injury. I fully get being up 27 or whatever and wanting to get the crowd to go ape with a Morant hammer. Just didn’t need to happen on a breakaway.
