But did CP3 run out of gas or did the Grizz take him out of the game in the 4th?

Dirty player Brooks was on him


I’ve despised Brooks since his college days at Oregon, was hoping he wouldn’t make a roster in the NBA but that didn’t happen.




I can't believe I hadn't seen this epic flop from him in his college days.

Despicable.

Third win in a row and this one against a healthy Grizzlies.

CP3 and Mikal played tremendous games.

I can't imagine how great we are gonna be with Book back in the lineup, CP3 looks fully healthy again and Mikal looks a complete new player as a shot creator.

Nice to see Dario Saric with a game like this one, he saved our ass in the final minute and he played very well with some surprising athletic plays.

Cam Johnson had an off game but it's normal after so many time out. But he played hard and scored a big bucket in the fourth.

We are already 7th. LET'S GO!

So glad we're done with the Grizzlies this season.
Splitting with them is a big achievement.

Dario also looking much better these past few games. If we could get a 2021 version of him again, or pretty close to it, he could be very valuable.

I don't want to depend on Saric for the playoffs. Jones needs to upgrade him while he's showing signs of not being completely washed. He was unplayable in 2021 finals even before getting injured. He could have been the one to move the needle and put us over the Bucks if he was any good in that series. Monty sticks to his lineups so if Dario is playing it means someone better is on the injured list.

He played 2:24 minutes in that series. I guess that was enough for you

I thought he played a bit more in the finals before getting injured, but point still stands - he was very bad in 2021 playoffs and Monty didn't trust him. A few good regular season games are great, but the playoffs are a different story. I would try to upgrade and bring someone more dependable.

If we could get the 76ers Saric this will win it all
