I'm a Grizzlies fan because of Adams. I'm enjoying their success but also not going to get carried away because the playoffs are a different animal. The Suns are still the team to beat IMO.

Not everyone supports a team just because of $.

Not very happy with the Pistons only playing Bey and Stewart for 6 min today. It's the fantasy finals and teams are screwing us with their 'resting' crap.

Can't believe the Clippers scored so many. And Dallas lost to Washington.
I was gonna bet on Minny over Denver but didn't look at the odds as I got busy.

One of the 6 Jones brothers > Ja

Sloth > JJJ

The stage is set.

He has overstayed his welcome.

First play in after Jokic plays 23 straight minutes and takes a minute breather.

TO.

Nuggets surrender the lead Jokic finally took. So frustrating.

OMG Jokic coming back in. He's gonna play 45 minutes tonight.

Cousins another TO and fouled out, what a disaster. Nuggets down 7, win this and he deserves two MVP's!

Cousins played 4:37!

Entire league is hoping Ja is back for the playoffs.

At this point, I'm pretty sure I could step into a role on this team and exceed expectations. Taylor Jenkins has that team drinking some strong Purplesaurus Rex.

I retract my previous statements.

The sole team in the west Phoenix now fears.

Jenkins just proved he's COTY I think.

Tough loss for Nuggs, Wolves really gutsy there at the end, hit some timely shots and made good defensive plays. Hat tip to Pat Bev.

I like how you're all raggin on Harden/Morey while Bklyn, his trading partner, sits in a 3-way tie for 10th while Simmons has no ETA this decade for returning to the court. I still don't think he lost that deal - just some growing pains apparently with the new fit - but does indeed look like Doc will be the weak link before long.

This is way better than anything that was in the dunk contest this year - Aar Gordon

Suns and Grizz are clearly the best in the West. We'll get to see that matchup for up to 7 games in a little bit here..

Wolves honestly are looking pretty scary. Whoever gets them in the first round better not take em lightly

Ferg1945 · 04-01-2022, 11:47 PM

Can someone explain this one to me.

Anthony Davis season average for minutes played: 35.1

He missed 18 games with an ankle injury.

With 5 minutes left in the game... he has played 32 minutes.

SO... he could have returned sooner?

Lakers gonna Laker. The moment I saw AD & Bron may play in the game last night I hammered them in my online sports book.

Hate them as some may, they know when it's time to actually show up if physically able

He hasn't played since Feb 16th. His conditioning is that great? Not play in 6 weeks.... ankle injury... possibly 37 minutes in first game back.

Ferg1945 · 04-01-2022, 11:57 PM

Is Vogel that dumb? You're challenging that?? Good Lord.

It's a 2 point game... 2 minutes to go and you waste your challenge on THAT?

Ok, I don't know about AD's conditioning after the layoff, but his confidence isn't looking great

Needs a lob from Lebron or something to get that back right now

drobfan8 · 04-01-2022, 11:59 PM

This Lakers game has been a good watch.

But this challenge is really dumb

Grizzkid12 · 04-02-2022, 12:03 AM

Lakers game is a prime example of why putting cash on those West coast games from the East coast can be a real mother

drobfan8 · 04-02-2022, 12:08 AM

Man, LeBron has been more willing to take these big shots at the buzzer this season, when there's very little on the line.

That was a bad loss. Won't be surprised if we see one more game from these guys in a couple of days and if it's a loss they shut it down.

Grizzkid12 · 04-02-2022, 12:08 AM

Laker's game was not the best if you're a fan

(Or bet on em

)

Ferg1945 · 04-02-2022, 12:20 AM

Intentional?

Nomad · 04-02-2022, 12:21 AM

Joel Embid on Ben Simmons. Tea.

Who are these posters you speak of? Names please.

Guess who has taken these hypothetical posters place? Posters desperately trying to discredit Ja Morant. Its just one of many reasons why this board/thread is a tough, tough follow...

Grizz are a great, young team. Basically with above average talent across the board, and an excellent coach.

How quickly we forget Ja's big balled performance to knock out the Dubs in last years play-in. We got a bunch of people who think they have all the answers because they can read out a stat sheet, and its a reason why the game has lost some of its beauty to many fans because its taken over the game.

Celebrate unique players like Ja instead of tearing them down just because they aren't the perfect prototype. Or perhaps because you (not you) don't have his cards so you rail on them.

I guess I'm in the minority because I don't collect Panini or really at all anymore so never post with ulterior motives.
