Adams might get abused on switches by Curry/Poole, he’s not very mobile with switching.

NBA fines the Mavericks but the Warriors leaving the bench is fine?

Remember when that caused a suspension for us?

Warriors shooting over 66% and 52% from 3. No one going to beat them or come close when they play like that, unless it was a team like us who played like we did in game 2 with our similar %s (but still not even as good as what the Warriors have done through 3 qtrs).

I have said this before but this Grizzlies team plays zero defense and this Warriors team defends slightly better.

Nobody in the middle like Ayton which is why we need to be pounding the inside paint and have someone crashing the boards for those important offensive rebounds.

As good as we were all year…… right now we are not even close to GSW since they got Klay back

That shooting percentage is not sustainable and that series could still go seven games.

Leagues a joke. Draymond, Luka, and co throw fits at officials daily and more reserved players like Mikal and Kyle Anderson getting slapped with techs.

Not to mention Poole hurt Morant by grabbing his knee

Degree of difficulty is very high to beat GSW nearly need a perfect game to be a few points in front, perhaps us and Milwaukee can give them a 1-2 punch but would back them in current form.

I'm really interested to see people takes about what poole did.

if we end up not making the finals I am rooting for the Bucks to repeat. I hate the warriors more than anything.

I don't think Poole meant to intentionally pull his knee. He was going for the ball, and he grabbed the knee instead.

I don't think it was something with malicious intent.

Frankly I'm sick of both the Warriors and the Grizzlies coaches and players in this series.

Its great basketball, but both teams are acting childish.

Such a weird play. I'd like to think he was going for the ball, but it's not like he was very close to the ball either. I don't think it was as bad as the Dillon Brooks play, but it's interesting to see the Warriors hand wave it away after their campaigning the last few days.

I am not a fan of Morant and cannot stand the play by play guy on ABC. Every time Ja does anything it's like no one else can compare to this guy. His commentary is really annoying. The Grizzles record was better without Ja.

The Grizzles now have the Warriors where they want them.

They don’t have to shoot that good to beat us. We are having trouble with the Pels and Mavs, GSW would sweep both of those teams in 3 games. They wouldn’t even show up for the 4th. Just unbelievably frustrating to think this seemed to be our year and the possible ride off into the sunset for CP3 and now between GSW and Giannis there is almost 0 hope.

Suns 4 - Pels 2
Suns 2 - Dallas 1

GSW 4 - Nuggets 1
GSW 2 - Grizzlies 1

Wow...WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE! (Green font not even needed...)

Go root for the Warriors then.

Kerr is an arrogrant pr*ck of a coach - its all he is. The guy played with Jordan, got rings; played with Duncan, got rings; was made coach of this team - he should never get a T again but thinks he invented the game. Meaning he has been in some good situations.

I kind of hope the Suns get them in the WCF - prove it on the court

Well in the regular season they were ranked 4th or 5th in Def Rtg and we were 3rd. In the playoffs they are ranked 5th (we are 11th). They are very strong defensively, with Brooks, Melton, Bane, Clarke, Adams, etc.

The problem with playing the Warriors is that they can make any team look bad defensively with their consistent 3pt shooting.

Hard to know what to think. Was he trying to injure him? I can't really figure out why he'd just grab his knee. To me that obviously looked intentional. It certainly doesn't look like he tried to get the ball and accidentally grabbed the knee. I think he should probably get suspended for a game if for no other reason to show you can't do something like that and to be extra careful.

Of course if it happened to Book most here would have a harsh opinion on the opposing defender but if Book or Paul did that to Doncic people would say it obviously wasn't intentional. Just like the Grizzlies viewpoint vs the Warriors.

Who are you pulling for in finals?
