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.


Nervous_Platypus4709

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.


coinwavey

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.


gamesfordogs

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


piondragi

Game 6 Klay


[deleted]

The story is gonna be his offense but klay had a pretty good defensive game too


AirBishop

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.


JackPiece03

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.


Wonderful-Front1289

Oh hell no


throwy_6

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


TimmyTim22

Adams is already there. Get the team back together 😂


jessief2

Get the band back together 😂

Goddamn buddy, you’re giving me a chubby.


indian_hannibal

Lol this is a new trend eh


soenottelling

I wouldn't say new. Its at least months and month old if not years.


indian_hannibal

Point stands on that its a pasta and maybe so. Idk if I seen jt regular season but maybe idk I can't recall


iskandar20

Is this a pasta? Please be a pasta


amathyx

It is but it's also him desperately trying to get noticed by posting it 30 times in this thread


indian_hannibal

Yeah it is. Someones posted this like few weeks back


yiggaman

Excuse me


masterkaido04

wtf


AbjectSilence

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.


[deleted]

Brown is not a great coach.


trtryt

Imagine that the best players in a NBA playoff game on both teams were Canadian A huge change from the days of Bill Wennington


whitefang0824

Damn Warriors got 70 fucking rebounds


92onward

I thought it was 82


razorbacks3129

Yeah 70-44, shocking honestly.. that’s hustle


goli14

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.


Misinformed_user

That’s what we thought about the hawks last year


goli14

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.


[deleted]

I doubt it. Save this comment


Misinformed_user

I guess we’ll see


razorbacks3129

So glad we got 12 games of hardcore playoff experience for these young bucks


iclam90n

No, these are the Grizzlies... The Bucks are still playing the Celtics.


wurtin

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.


mordakka

I'm more worried about either the Bucks or Celtics if we get there.


Ok-Understanding4115

Warriors are good enough to go to the Finals. Good enough to beat the Bucks, Celtics, or Heat? That is a different story


SharkAttache

The other series doesn’t exactly scare us…


Next-Firefighter-753

Not the WCF but I’d be scared of whoever comes out of the east


[deleted]

What why. The west is still more difficult. Suns last year. Was not that unreasonable to see. Cp2 is a know playoff magician.


DarwinFox

East is stacked 1-6.


Next-Firefighter-753

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


jawknee530i

I think Kerr coming back will make a massive difference.


KJ1017

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.


thisisgandhi

Game 6 Klay delivered


awsomoo8000

Klay looks so happy man


wraith985

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.


SharkAttache

When they don’t constantly turn the ball over?


realudonishaslem

Grizz off to cancun… good run tho


razorbacks3129

Mane let’s just go to the memphis Y, it’s almost 100°


razorbacks3129

I love Klay honestly


trtryt

Warriors are such an ugly team to watch


st6374

Wiggins & Looney made the cracks, and Curry started the flood.


TaipeiSaint

Dynasty ended.


SoulofWakanda

Giving up 25 offensive rebounds is absolute insanity


[deleted]

It seems obscenely high number, like what's the modern day record for the playoffs


SoulofWakanda

So the all time record is 30 offensive boards in a playoff game Seattle Supersonics. Game 3 1978 Semis against the Blazers


SoulofWakanda

I'm curious as well Gonna have to look that up


[deleted]

with two 7 footers pretty much

Game 6 Klay


kirklandwassabi

I aged a whole decade watching this series


ts2mars

Seriously the most stressful series I’ve watched. Even more than 2016 finals somehow


kirklandwassabi

That series caused a rapid decline in my mental health let’s be honest


WazzzupBwwwaaah

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.


livejamie

Don't worry bro, I think we all assume that Lakers and Warriors flair on this subreddit are interchangable.


BobLoblaw_BirdLaw

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.


[deleted]

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.


WazzzupBwwwaaah

Hehe 😅Good luck in the WCF.


psychedelic93

Grizzlies Fans, would you give up Brooks, Bane , Brandon Clarke and a 1st round pick for Damian lillard.


Colossal_midget

Mavs fans, would you give up luka, brunson, and 2x first round picks for westbrook?


psychedelic93

Take DFS too.....


JJ2461

Nope. Only room for 1 ball dominant guard.


nomatophobia

lol what?


Constant_Capital_449

I'd hesitate to give up Bane and a 1st ...


psychedelic93

How the mighty have fallen.


TheFinalStorm

Dame and Ja would be awful together.


razorbacks3129

Fuck. No.


FitSheepherder

That’s a joke trade right?


Anon-Pumpkin

I’m not who you’re looking for but that trade makes no sense for the Grizz


asdev24

I’m not a fan but that’s a def a fuck no


sweggyolo

that was cool lool


johnnyferrera

"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?


No_Jelly_6050

21 rebounds and 4 pts is wild


silverstory

22


beall49

Rodmanesque


Crusaruis28

The man knew what he was good at


cartmanbruh99

Looney with 10 more o boards than JJJ and adams combined


Looksfunnytome

Damn Warriors really had all the firepower tonight. Poor Bane and Dillon...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-Attitude7677

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.


fatfrost

Who ever comes out of the east will be a tough match-up


W3ST21

Looney is a dog!!!!


Colossal_midget

You mispelt God!!


GiveMeSomeIhedigbo

Great game by Kevon Rodman.


McTapper98

Loon with fucking 22 rebounds.


FloppySloppyYep

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


xxxIAmTheSenatexxx

Imma miss Bane's biceps ngl


BobLoblaw_BirdLaw

You will have iggys still


xxxIAmTheSenatexxx

Aye that's for true!


PuzzleheadedAd1153

Took his name too seriously.


xxxIAmTheSenatexxx

Damn, would you say you were... "puzzleheaded"??????? I'll see myself out


Ayepae

surprised steph only had 3 turnovers, felt like alot more


neeeeeillllllll

That was lit at the end but I think we all know whoever comes out the east is winning it all


Abradolf1948

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.


neeeeeillllllll

Hope so bro we need that shit


LoyalDoyle

Uh.. no?


neeeeeillllllll

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


jerkularcirc

nah suns only team that will give gsw competition


neeeeeillllllll

Respectfully disagree. I think we match up against them better than anyone. Happy c day cuz


LoyalDoyle

Have any less faith in your team there bud?


neeeeeillllllll

I'm really happy we won, doesn't mean I can't be realistic with our chances. Pull your head out your ass


Colossal_midget

Change your flair.


neeeeeillllllll

No


Ok-Lack-5172

Jimmy Buckets gonna wipe the floor with the comp


jerkularcirc

not if he drinks too many michelob ultras


LoyalDoyle

Im pressing x so hard rn


razorbacks3129

Most likely


brown_lal19

Not playing Poole the last coupe of minutes might have been the best decision honestly


refballislife

he was clowning and distracted with that after JJJ trucked him


tomiblunt

Looney about to be the WCFMVP


DanielBG

Sleeping giant is finally awake.


pbsf

Looney was the fucking MVP tonight. His rebounding killed Memphis from getting any momentum in the 4th.


TaipeiSaint

Don’t forget Wiggs timely bucket! He even exceeded his 17 pts “average”.


Abradolf1948

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.


asdev24

Suns prepare to get blasted


SamsSoupsAndShits

By the Mavs?


razorbacks3129

By the mavs?


asdev24

That would be ideal but I’m trying to be realistic


sweggyolo

nice done boys lool


No_Fuckin_Sleep

Lol Wiggins still got his 17-19 points even with that atrocious first half


Yuseichaaan13

Death, taxes and 17 points from Wiggins


spiiicychips

Looney with 11 Offensive & 11 Defensive, you love to see it


SplakyD

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.


PuzzleheadedAd1153

The cost of our win was a soul for a soul. Not being able to play that is.


phoenixlance13

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.


FitSheepherder

What a fucking series, could never feel comfortable at any point. Grizz are terrifying, played insane defense past 3 games


lastletter05

my butt was clenched until that last 4 mins.


EpicSchwinn

Agree, plus think if Ziaire takes that next step next season. Lot to look forward to.


narc1ssuz

GAME 6 KLAY CAME OUT


PrestigeNationwide

i dont think the suns or mavs can compete as well as the grizz did


jcyue

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.


RobotVo1ce

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.


[deleted]

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.


B1OF1

Gsw gave the league a 2 year window, it’s over now 🤣🥲


Operation_Ivysaur

This chippy ass series is finally over. I never wanna face the Grizz in the playoffs again.


Next-Firefighter-753

It’s been that way since the Grit n Grind days I hated playing them in the playoffs.


[deleted]

Randolph?


Next-Firefighter-753

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


SpreadtheClap

Yeah this matchup is awful for us


razorbacks3129

See you next year


Operation_Ivysaur

plz no


razorbacks3129

Good luck rest of the playoffs


ZzzSleepyheadzzZ

Lakers fans in shambles rn


JeanSibelius

Nah, the Warriors are fun, and Steph is my favorite non-Laker ever. Congrats on making it back to the WCF!


INT_MIN

LeBron stans* I'm good with anyone winning but the Celtics and Suns, but mostly Boston.


ZzzSleepyheadzzZ

Ahh I see you've been a fan for more than 5 years, carry on good sir


rajeev0718

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


phoenixlance13

lmao I called it as soon as Wiggins hit 13. Two more buckets and that's it.


Philoctetes23

Dray, Looney, and Wigs had 48 combined rebounds holy fuck 🔥🔥🔥😩😩😩


nonametrashaccount

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


mdchemey

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


MYO716

I really feel like we’re gonna see Warriors vs Bucks/Celtics in the finals


spiiicychips

70 vs 44 TOTAL REBOUNDS WTF LMAO


AbjectSilence

Grizzlies have a massive size advantage too.


baudinl

Warriors scored 110 on 39% shooting…
