Jokic 4th foul? Why is he in the game now, especially at the end of the Q? Why was he even in the game to get that foul?

Missing 2 free throws now

NBA is a joke right now.
Never was that into college ball but watched some this weekend and the skill level has improved from 10-20 years ago, and you don't see nonsense like this at least.
Playoffs can't come soon enough.

Ya college ball obviously doesn’t have the skill level like the NBA. But I think the game is called drastically better. It’s not just teams spamming 3s, and you don’t see guys screaming AND1!!! If a defender just breathes on them and the refs giving them the call. I find it far more appealing to watch.

The announcers (granted, an idiot the level of Richard Jefferson... and no I don't care that he played in the league) never bringing up the Sac Kings once in this dialogue of top West teams is disrespectful as **** and I hope they make a run this year.

Bryant turned his ankle, so I think Malone was just trying to steal an extra possession and Jokic needs to be a lot smarter than to pick up that kind of foul.

WTF Murray?

Derrick Rose is the only other player I can remember that could pull off a full sprint crossover like Ja.

Thomas Bryant got injured and Malone decided to put Jokic in

Out tonight with a personal issue. He's been in the high-20s most nights with the Pels. Has played pretty good up to this point, especially on the defensive end.

Oh I see, thanks. Box score just says hasn't played yet. Cool guy. Glad he's been producing well.

Murray has had a rough game. I would've preferred that he took the Rockets game off to try and get some rest for his back. The physical style of the Grizzlies is wearing him down.

GeorgeSears · Post #311 » by **GeorgeSears** » Sat Mar 4, 2023 5:12 am

Overall, this is actually a very well officiated game.

Isn't there another C option? PF as C for a small stretch? Very costly by both Malone and Jokic.

Why is Kuminga not in right now?......

Kerr having a boner for Lamb is one of the strangest things I've seen out of the dubs this season

Give me a Clips-Lakers play-in game.

Murray is stepping up.

Naji is out, Vlatko is out. All they got is Jordan and he really isn’t an actual option.

They’re going with a small lineup to start the quarter

Given how the Clips look like the greatest team ever against us i'd say it's a 40pt blowout with 45/50 threes being made by the clippers.
