He's been the most overrated player in the last 10 years IMO. Grizz have 120mil more to go with him

But with these contracts nowadays, they'll always have the last laugh with FU money.

Maybe not Ja though
Last year in one day, Morant withdrew $50,000 in cash, went to a strip club and dumped the money on the floor. How many times has he done that? Because you keep treating your money like that, and even FU money isn't gonna last.

They only lost the 2nd Q by 3. Progress!

Grizzlies should have stayed home. Just a terrible matchup against the thunder. I think the clippers would be the same as well.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2025, Non-Celtics
Absolutely blows my mind that Minnesota hasn't one single time. Looked to attack donchic when he is on defense.
It's like they are saving that strategy for the fourth quarter. Or something. Meanwhile, they are struggling to even get twelve points..
Absolutely idiotic.

With 46 seconds to go in the first quarter, they finally went at Luka. And scored..

The amount of Laker flopping makes this game unwatchable.

Watching the final 5 minutes, and it's night and day between Tatum and Ant in the clutch. Ant just can't create the same way JT can.

Prior to last night's G2 win vs. the Knicks, the last time the Pistons won a playoff game was G4 of the 2008 ECF vs the Celtics, who have the most playoff wins since that loss with 126. Below them are the Heat (110) and the Warriors (109).

What's even more shocking is that they continue to play Gobert ~ 30 mins a game, which is wild. It's not working, why are you doing it???
As for OKC, MEM is TRASH. Shai has sucked, haven't checked if the GB is going at him the way they do at Tatum, after all Shai is the supposed MVP.
Good assessment:

Clippers have been the best defense in the league since ~Christmas and have been on fire. if Clippers are healthy, they will give the OKC a helluva matchup. Grizzlies are a trashy team overall, they just aren't good. Only guy I like on that team is Bane and imo he's their best player.

What happened to Jimmy Butler? I just saw he's only played 8 minutes.

Undercut from behind. Hit the ground really hard. Butt/lower back took the brunt.

This made me chuckle. I do hope ourselves and Golden State makes it out to the finals.
1. It would mean OKC didn’t.
2. A potential rematch with the team that broke our heart and meeting Jimmy Butler once again is a poetic finals in the story of this era.
3. TD Garden can make Draymond happy

Re: NBA Playoff Games 2025, Non-Celtics
That should be a flagrant 2. Why is Brunson trying to blind a shooter? Clearly intentional.

Reputation.
Brunson is not known to be a dirty player.
Guess he gets the benefit of the doubt.
