Surprisingly Memphis getting some calls

Memphis is benefiting from a bunch of shaky calls down the stretch.

Edey's back doored a decent game. He was having match-up problems early, but some spoke too soon about what we knew he'd do ultimately.

Calamity indeed

Very Bucks of the Grizz there

I bet a good coach could have prevented that.

Great game. Both those teams should be in the playoffs. But terrible execution by the Grizz down the stretch, fouling too late, & then not moving w/ urgency to the ball on the inbounds. Reminded me of the Bucks. I hope that crap doesn't happen to us again vs. the Pacers.

Incidentally, Horst needs to find us a Bane w/out a premium pick in the draft. He owes us.

Memphis didn't deserve it. Golden State will be a problem for Houston, IMO.

Bet the grizz wish they had Jenkins for that ATO.

What a bad play design. You had your best perimeter threat running away from the ball into the opposite corner which would have been a really difficult pass to make.

Then very little movement coming towards the ball beyond that. Yikes.

Whenever I watch the Grizz, Ja looks incredibly underwhelming as a player. They should look into what sort of return they could get for him. If they could say get FVV and a couple of good role guys from Houston (Eason maybe Sheppard?) it’d be pretty tempting.

Needed 2 more points from Ja to cash my parlay, invisible. Injury or not, get your alpha some touches.

If you put Giannis’s skills and athleticism into a 6’3 body would he be Ja or Westbrook?

Young Russ, for sure.

Lakers vs Warriors in the second round will be absolutely epic.

I've said for years that Giannis is a mix of Westbrook and Hakeem.

More Russ than Ja. He still would have been a fiery competitor and a guy who got after it defensively. Ja gives very little on that end.

I was actually about to say that the Grizz's collective BBIQ is so bad, I thought I was watching a Bucks game.

Not just at the end but the entire game.

This was only the 2nd Grizzlies game I watched this season from start to finish, so I don't know maybe tonight was a fluke. But they play really dumb.

Baddy Chuck · Post #639 » by **Baddy Chuck** » Wed Apr 16, 2025 5:16 am

Pat Connaughton for Kuminga makes sense for both teams IMO.

I really wanted to see the Bucks trade for Jimmy.

Mostly because Giannis & Jimmy would have clowned Boston & Cleveland on their way to winning the east.

But a close #2 reason was because I wanted to see if Jimmy would still get his same insane whistle as a member of the Bucks.

I love Jimmy Butler, but I have no clue how or why he gets the whistle that he does.
