I only saw one player laughing...
Game and season over, Green and the bench guys look sad/shocked...
Bledsoe and Allen at the line:

He's laughing he's about to get PAID.

Tell me you wouldn't smile at the thought you getting your first big contract.

Isnt Markief Morris a quality PF??

Best sixth man in the league.

So you guys are looking for a quality starting PF?

The only thing is MkMo plays better with Frye at the five.

He knows he will make some good money next year.

Do you? No. When he has bad games, there's always some excuse. Whether it's an ankle or my favorite.. Tired.

Admit a bad game, that simple. I respect players that do that. Same with refs, admit a bad call. Own up to something rather than making something up.

Just give it up Jdiddly.

Goran never tried to make an excuse for his ankle. He obviously wanted to play against the Spurs. It's also obvious that he hasn't been the same since he tweaked it. If your brain worked in a rational manner, you'd be able to connect the dots and see that it did negatively effect his play.

Thinking that's just bad English. He probably means that the future is looking good, and next season will have a better outcome.

Yes, but hard to find it. Maybe McD could use his magic stick and bring Blair in and Len work summer hard and be more effective next season, so maybe that enough.

Bledsoe cares.
He punches a ton of crap he shows emotion.
I've seen him kick chairs, punch the scores table, punch the court etc etc.
Remember he was only part of this team for 40 or so games.
Gerald green is probably thinking in that pic "this was my year"
And Xmas was "my nba career is over"

Dragic was smiling so was ish smith

Amazing game. Loudest I've been to in a long time.

I love Bledsoe but I'd trade him for Conley in a second, guy is so underrated. Memphis is just bigger and tougher.

Fair enough, but keep in mind Dragic and Smith were smiling AFTER the game and in a kind of respectful "give it to the Grizzlies, they played well" type of way. Just don't like it during a game when we just realize the season is over. But who cares, we had an amazing season and we proved a lot of people wrong.

Last time I remember a Sun laughing after we got eliminated was Amare game 6 vs the Lakers. We all know how that turned out, Suns refused to pay him, he left for a big pay check and the next year sucked. I'm sure Tony Allen probably just said something funny, these guys have a whole life outside of basketball. Them thinking about basketball 24/7 and being serious all the time would be as if all you talked about in your personal life was work or school. These guys are human, they laugh at jokes, this is a job for them, don't read too much into it. Not every player has a Kobe killer instinct or mentality. And in all honesty, these guys probably knew it was over after blowing the Spurs and Mavs games. At this point we were just playing for pride. Even if we did win, it would hurt even more if the Grizz ended up beating the Mavs (likely) or we lost to the Kings.

Herman4MVP · Post #255 » by **Herman4MVP** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 5:34 am

Yeah, I agree with you. The Lakers game was pretty bad and after that we really struggled. Plus Goran getting hurt really destroyed our chances.

By the way - F'*'## Mike Miller...of course against the Suns he doesn't miss

Pretty crazy considering he played a pretty big role on the 2010 WCF team.

Yeah, that was weird.

Is Kieff our go to player now for 3pt shots?

That's two games in a row that Kieff took a designed 3pt shot with the game on the line.

I think Dragic, Green and Frye are all better shooters in a catch and shoot situation personally.

I didn't get a chance to watch... where was Gerald Green tonight? 18 minutes and 4 shots? Why not have him in the end when we needed to hit 3s?

phrazbit · Post #259 » by **phrazbit** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 6:04 am

The guy smiles for like two seconds because someone clearly cracked a line trying to cheer him up and you guys jump on him and act like he does not care?

I do not get the projecting people do on Bledsoe. I really like Dragic but if Dragic were given the same scrutiny that Bledsoe gets here then there would be a riot.

He made some really really stupid plays while he was in the game and also the matchups made playing playing 3 guards a tough proposition.
