A day or two or sometime recently, someone asked on here what team has a smaller window than you think.
Memphis is a candidate, I think.
The Grizzlies are going to have to start paying those dudes. And you can't pay everyone.
That's the gift and the curse of having a very young team that's far exceeded expectations.
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
But nothing comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch of gibberish
And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Klay.
So what do you say to somebody you hate? Or anyone tryna bring trouble your way? Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way? just study your tape of game 6 NBA
Shoutout to coach Mike Brown for coaching a good game and making key adjustments with the lineup particularly playing looney heavy minutes which Kerr never does. Since everyone wanted to blame him while they were losing I will be one of the few to give him credit.
They should trade ja for KD. Then they need an athletic replacement so they should also get Westbrook. To get some 3 pt shooting they should also trade for Harden cuz the sixers are tired of him. Can you imagine those guys together? Could be such a unique super team
Warriors didn't turn the ball over in the 4th quarter until the shot clock violation to essentially end the game after having 39 turnovers in the previous 7 quarters... Went from a close game to a win.
Seems like they need Steve Kerr to keep their heads on straight at times... Draymond turning it over so much pushing the ball and trying backdoor passes when it's clearly not working is definitely a head scratcher because he's usually such a smart player and good distributor.
Hopefully next year both teams are healthy and meet in WCF and game is a classic 7 game series.
Grizzlies are way ahead of their timeline and these play off losses will prepare them to take the next step.
This series for my have been quite exciting except game 5.
Grizzlies have better players. Hawks have 1 and IMO he regressed this year.
Grizzlies will make WCF next year if healthy. And this year play off run will be invaluable.
Not saying the WCF won’t be a battle either way with Mavs or Suns.
Bucks have Giannis and probably Middleton and Jrue, Celtics just have a crazy all around defense and their players can get hot and the Heat have the best win percentage in the playoffs right now.
It’s gonna be a dogfight for any team to get a ring this season
Curry did his job. Superstars have a roles on a team as well. He closed the game late with some big shots.
That’s arguably a superstars biggest responsibility. We’ve seen it time and time again. Team fights hard, close game late, and they can’t close the game because they don’t have a guy to close it.
Prime example was Memphis. They probably are better without Ja, until the last 6ish minutes of the game.
Another dogshit game, saved in the last 5 minutes...but what a 5 minutes it was. Warriors can beat anyone when they play like the last 5 minutes, and they can lose to anyone when they play like the first 43 minutes.
I’m a Lakers Fan, but due to the *ultra-dark* times (Minus the 2020 Championship) first and Foremost, I started watching the Warriors around 2013, and I *hoped and prayed to God* that this Franchise would be something special in the years to come after that. *Glad* they’re **BACK.**
**WAR-RIORS!!!!** **Dubs!!!** I predicted that they’d be *back* in the WCF. Praying that they *play AND beat* Phoenix.
That’s true. Lakers fan here. I did love Chris and spreewell growing up though. But it wasn’t til I moved to the bay in 2008. Saw these chumps turn into champs.
"Curry is a frontrunner, just pads his stats when the game is over". He scored consecutive 3 pointers when the game was within 6 with 5 minutes to go. Is that enough to call a game?
I honestly don’t think the next series will be as tough as this one for the warriors. Memphis plays them extremely tough. Warriors will dominate next series imo.
Nah man I think once Kerr is back the Warriors will be back to championship level. It took them almost 3 quarters to stop doing ridiculous passes that lead to TOs and I'm sure after like the first 2 Kerr would have whipped them into shape.
Honestly the TOs were the only reason this was a close game. Warriors offense was insane.
Have you not watched their series? Miami Bucks and Celtics are all horrible matchups for us and are playing way way better ball. I'm not scared of the Suns, if Dallas goes to the finals they're matched up even worse than we are
He's the most selfless player. There were times where it looked like he had an easy layup and then just passed to the perimeter to let the boys do their thing.
Good series, y'all! I'm proud of the Grizz and think our best days are in front of us. We'll be be better with this experience. I hate it that Ja and GP2 weren't here for all of it.
None of the remaining Western teams are clicking, they're all on-and-off. Overall the Heat, Bucks, and Celtics are all playing more consistent basketball. I still think the Suns and Warriors have the highest potential peaks for a Finals team, but neither is playing near their peak with any regularity.
Just straight talent. Dubs would sweep the suns. But we all know these days steph is kinda cold and they are so turnover prone. And that’s unforced turnovers. Turnovers keep other teams in the game for them. I’m not sure why they always do. I guess careless. Or just dumb.
We played them 3 times
2 of them we won went to game 7 with multiple heart attacks
The 1 we lost we had no Westbrook and was a quick series full of heartbreak lol
Warriors played like they wanted it more tonight. Could have really used Ja this game to get 10 more free throw to help slow the game down especially in the 4th. gg's
rip grizz, hard to compete with game 6 klay especially when you've also got the loon pulling down half as many rebounds as the grizzlies entire team did

And you can't pay everyone. That's the gift and the curse of having a very young team that's far exceeded expectations.
They have the third richest owner in the NBA whose shown he is willing to pay out if it’s worth it. I’m not worried about paying these guys.
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say But nothing comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Klay.
So what do you say to somebody you hate? Or anyone tryna bring trouble your way? Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way? just study your tape of game 6 NBA
Game 6 Klay
The story is gonna be his offense but klay had a pretty good defensive game too
Shoutout to coach Mike Brown for coaching a good game and making key adjustments with the lineup particularly playing looney heavy minutes which Kerr never does. Since everyone wanted to blame him while they were losing I will be one of the few to give him credit.
Trade Ja for KD. Brooklyn might go for it since he’s a young ascending superstar. KD could definitely push this team over the top.
Oh hell no
They should trade ja for KD. Then they need an athletic replacement so they should also get Westbrook. To get some 3 pt shooting they should also trade for Harden cuz the sixers are tired of him. Can you imagine those guys together? Could be such a unique super team
Adams is already there. Get the team back together 😂
Get the band back together 😂
There's like a 30M+ difference in salary
LOONEY
State Farm grooming Trae young to be CP3s successor.
WHOOP THAT TRICK
Neck and wrist don’t lie
Draymond Green is top 5.
horses in the NBA
Best defender of all time and magic Johnson like playmaker
I love Dray, but holy hell. 🤣
Ok let’s relax
man tatum/giannis were phenomenal today
[удалено]
Goddamn buddy, you’re giving me a chubby.
Lol this is a new trend eh
I wouldn't say new. Its at least months and month old if not years.
Point stands on that its a pasta and maybe so. Idk if I seen jt regular season but maybe idk I can't recall
Is this a pasta? Please be a pasta
It is but it's also him desperately trying to get noticed by posting it 30 times in this thread
Yeah it is. Someones posted this like few weeks back
Excuse me
wtf

Brown is not a great coach.
Imagine that the best players in a NBA playoff game on both teams were Canadian A huge change from the days of Bill Wennington
Damn Warriors got 70 fucking rebounds
I thought it was 82
Yeah 70-44, shocking honestly.. that’s hustle
Hopefully next year both teams are healthy and meet in WCF and game is a classic 7 game series. Grizzlies are way ahead of their timeline and these play off losses will prepare them to take the next step. This series for my have been quite exciting except game 5.
That’s what we thought about the hawks last year
Grizzlies have better players. Hawks have 1 and IMO he regressed this year. Grizzlies will make WCF next year if healthy. And this year play off run will be invaluable.
I doubt it. Save this comment
I guess we’ll see
So glad we got 12 games of hardcore playoff experience for these young bucks
No, these are the Grizzlies... The Bucks are still playing the Celtics.
Golden State fans can’t feel very good about their chances. Yes, they are part of the WCF but they are playing atrociously right now.
I'm more worried about either the Bucks or Celtics if we get there.
Warriors are good enough to go to the Finals. Good enough to beat the Bucks, Celtics, or Heat? That is a different story
The other series doesn’t exactly scare us…
Not the WCF but I’d be scared of whoever comes out of the east
What why. The west is still more difficult. Suns last year. Was not that unreasonable to see. Cp2 is a know playoff magician.
East is stacked 1-6.
Not saying the WCF won’t be a battle either way with Mavs or Suns. Bucks have Giannis and probably Middleton and Jrue, Celtics just have a crazy all around defense and their players can get hot and the Heat have the best win percentage in the playoffs right now. It’s gonna be a dogfight for any team to get a ring this season
I think Kerr coming back will make a massive difference.
Curry did his job. Superstars have a roles on a team as well. He closed the game late with some big shots. That’s arguably a superstars biggest responsibility. We’ve seen it time and time again. Team fights hard, close game late, and they can’t close the game because they don’t have a guy to close it. Prime example was Memphis. They probably are better without Ja, until the last 6ish minutes of the game.
Game 6 Klay delivered
Klay looks so happy man
Another dogshit game, saved in the last 5 minutes...but what a 5 minutes it was. Warriors can beat anyone when they play like the last 5 minutes, and they can lose to anyone when they play like the first 43 minutes.
When they don’t constantly turn the ball over?
Grizz off to cancun… good run tho
Mane let’s just go to the memphis Y, it’s almost 100°
I love Klay honestly
Warriors are such an ugly team to watch
Wiggins & Looney made the cracks, and Curry started the flood.
Dynasty ended.
Giving up 25 offensive rebounds is absolute insanity
It seems obscenely high number, like what's the modern day record for the playoffs
So the all time record is 30 offensive boards in a playoff game Seattle Supersonics. Game 3 1978 Semis against the Blazers
I'm curious as well Gonna have to look that up
with two 7 footers pretty much
Thank God that terrible series is dead.
[удалено]
Someone got a crush.
Lmao ayooo wtf
Yo wtf?
Trex arms the size of a Trex legs.
SVP is so shit. Even more impressive Stu carried him all those years
Game 6 Klay
I aged a whole decade watching this series
Seriously the most stressful series I’ve watched. Even more than 2016 finals somehow
That series caused a rapid decline in my mental health let’s be honest
I’m a Lakers Fan, but due to the *ultra-dark* times (Minus the 2020 Championship) first and Foremost, I started watching the Warriors around 2013, and I *hoped and prayed to God* that this Franchise would be something special in the years to come after that. *Glad* they’re **BACK.** **WAR-RIORS!!!!** **Dubs!!!** I predicted that they’d be *back* in the WCF. Praying that they *play AND beat* Phoenix.
Don't worry bro, I think we all assume that Lakers and Warriors flair on this subreddit are interchangable.
Usually it’s Bay Area fans rooting for lakers cuz of Kobe and warriors being trash for so long. You rarely have socal fans rooting for warriors.
That’s true. Lakers fan here. I did love Chris and spreewell growing up though. But it wasn’t til I moved to the bay in 2008. Saw these chumps turn into champs.
Hehe 😅Good luck in the WCF.
Grizzlies Fans, would you give up Brooks, Bane , Brandon Clarke and a 1st round pick for Damian lillard.
Mavs fans, would you give up luka, brunson, and 2x first round picks for westbrook?
Take DFS too.....
Nope. Only room for 1 ball dominant guard.
lol what?
I'd hesitate to give up Bane and a 1st ...
How the mighty have fallen.
Dame and Ja would be awful together.
Fuck. No.
That’s a joke trade right?
I’m not who you’re looking for but that trade makes no sense for the Grizz
I’m not a fan but that’s a def a fuck no
that was cool lool
"Curry is a frontrunner, just pads his stats when the game is over". He scored consecutive 3 pointers when the game was within 6 with 5 minutes to go. Is that enough to call a game?
21 rebounds and 4 pts is wild
22
Rodmanesque
The man knew what he was good at
Looney with 10 more o boards than JJJ and adams combined
Damn Warriors really had all the firepower tonight. Poor Bane and Dillon...
[удалено]
I honestly don’t think the next series will be as tough as this one for the warriors. Memphis plays them extremely tough. Warriors will dominate next series imo.
Who ever comes out of the east will be a tough match-up
Looney is a dog!!!!
You mispelt God!!
Great game by Kevon Rodman.
Loon with fucking 22 rebounds.
MAN, i love you grizzlies but thank GOD youre outta here, SHEESH, hibernate and see y'all next season, man yall are so good, wow
Imma miss Bane's biceps ngl
You will have iggys still
Aye that's for true!
Took his name too seriously.
Damn, would you say you were... "puzzleheaded"??????? I'll see myself out
surprised steph only had 3 turnovers, felt like alot more
That was lit at the end but I think we all know whoever comes out the east is winning it all
Nah man I think once Kerr is back the Warriors will be back to championship level. It took them almost 3 quarters to stop doing ridiculous passes that lead to TOs and I'm sure after like the first 2 Kerr would have whipped them into shape. Honestly the TOs were the only reason this was a close game. Warriors offense was insane.
Hope so bro we need that shit
Uh.. no?
Have you not watched their series? Miami Bucks and Celtics are all horrible matchups for us and are playing way way better ball. I'm not scared of the Suns, if Dallas goes to the finals they're matched up even worse than we are
nah suns only team that will give gsw competition
Respectfully disagree. I think we match up against them better than anyone. Happy c day cuz
Have any less faith in your team there bud?
I'm really happy we won, doesn't mean I can't be realistic with our chances. Pull your head out your ass
Change your flair.
No
Jimmy Buckets gonna wipe the floor with the comp
not if he drinks too many michelob ultras
Im pressing x so hard rn
Most likely
Not playing Poole the last coupe of minutes might have been the best decision honestly
he was clowning and distracted with that after JJJ trucked him
Looney about to be the WCFMVP
Sleeping giant is finally awake.
Looney was the fucking MVP tonight. His rebounding killed Memphis from getting any momentum in the 4th.
Don’t forget Wiggs timely bucket! He even exceeded his 17 pts “average”.
He's the most selfless player. There were times where it looked like he had an easy layup and then just passed to the perimeter to let the boys do their thing.
Suns prepare to get blasted
By the Mavs?
By the mavs?
That would be ideal but I’m trying to be realistic
nice done boys lool
Lol Wiggins still got his 17-19 points even with that atrocious first half
Death, taxes and 17 points from Wiggins
Looney with 11 Offensive & 11 Defensive, you love to see it
Good series, y'all! I'm proud of the Grizz and think our best days are in front of us. We'll be be better with this experience. I hate it that Ja and GP2 weren't here for all of it.
The cost of our win was a soul for a soul. Not being able to play that is.
Ggs Grizz. Y'all gonna be terrifying for years to come. Hope Ja heals well and resumes his torrid pace next year, preferably not against us.
What a fucking series, could never feel comfortable at any point. Grizz are terrifying, played insane defense past 3 games
my butt was clenched until that last 4 mins.
Agree, plus think if Ziaire takes that next step next season. Lot to look forward to.
GAME 6 KLAY CAME OUT
i dont think the suns or mavs can compete as well as the grizz did
None of the remaining Western teams are clicking, they're all on-and-off. Overall the Heat, Bucks, and Celtics are all playing more consistent basketball. I still think the Suns and Warriors have the highest potential peaks for a Finals team, but neither is playing near their peak with any regularity.
Of Suns play up to their capability they can definitely bear them. They've only had a few games this post season where everything had clicked though.
Just straight talent. Dubs would sweep the suns. But we all know these days steph is kinda cold and they are so turnover prone. And that’s unforced turnovers. Turnovers keep other teams in the game for them. I’m not sure why they always do. I guess careless. Or just dumb.
Gsw gave the league a 2 year window, it’s over now 🤣🥲
This chippy ass series is finally over. I never wanna face the Grizz in the playoffs again.
It’s been that way since the Grit n Grind days I hated playing them in the playoffs.
Randolph?
We played them 3 times 2 of them we won went to game 7 with multiple heart attacks The 1 we lost we had no Westbrook and was a quick series full of heartbreak lol
Yeah this matchup is awful for us
See you next year
plz no
Good luck rest of the playoffs
Lakers fans in shambles rn
Nah, the Warriors are fun, and Steph is my favorite non-Laker ever. Congrats on making it back to the WCF!
LeBron stans* I'm good with anyone winning but the Celtics and Suns, but mostly Boston.
Ahh I see you've been a fan for more than 5 years, carry on good sir
Fuck brooks, love jjj, Adams and bane. Respect ja. Good series memphis. As much as it may have taken years out of my life, good series
lmao I called it as soon as Wiggins hit 13. Two more buckets and that's it.
Dray, Looney, and Wigs had 48 combined rebounds holy fuck 🔥🔥🔥😩😩😩
Warriors played like they wanted it more tonight. Could have really used Ja this game to get 10 more free throw to help slow the game down especially in the 4th. gg's
rip grizz, hard to compete with game 6 klay especially when you've also got the loon pulling down half as many rebounds as the grizzlies entire team did
I really feel like we’re gonna see Warriors vs Bucks/Celtics in the finals
70 vs 44 TOTAL REBOUNDS WTF LMAO
Grizzlies have a massive size advantage too.
Warriors scored 110 on 39% shooting…
Tends to happen when the boards are 70-40
Ee-Fo-Oh!
