Moving my suggestion to the offseason thread.

Morey is going to get fired for giving Harden that max deal even though it's clear as day Harden doesn't have the juice anymore. Morey should convince Harden to opt in and let him walk the following year. You're doing Embiid a disservice if he hands Harden that contract.

Man, it’s tempting to divorce the Wizards and fall in love with Memphis. Just an incredibly run franchise.

I love them

Ja was incredible last night.

Warriors are still out rebounding the Grizzlies.

Otto played big and was so effective defending switches last night.

Steph Curry had some really bad turnovers down the stretch.

I think Memphis is going to win this series.

The Warriors are really going to miss Payton. They need all the speed and intensity and depth they can muster. Memphis is bigger and more balanced.

Ja is the best player.on the floor.

Giannis is incredible.

Holiday took 30 shots, no FTs.

Celtics had 34 FTs to the Bucks 17 FTs... on the road.

Bucks up 2-1.

Memphis has lost 2 games to GS by a total of 3 points. In those 2 games, Dillon Brooks went 8-32.

If Memphis had a good player instead of Dillon Brooks, they'd be up 3-1 instead of down 3-1.

I miss OPjr (when he wasn't hurt)

Always liked him with us. Interesting that GS had 2 ex-zards in their playoff rotation (OP and GPII)

Melton and Jones should be taking those shots... just no self awareness by Brooks.

Anderson was outstanding last night!

He made some plays but I was wondering if GS would go to the Hack-a-Kyle given
his FT shooting was horrible.

The way Tyus Jones played last night and has played all year...it's tempting to try and go after him but he's just so short

It's too bad Memphis didn't face a matchup-oriented opponent who seeks to pick on the defense's weakest defender. A team like Dallas or the Clippers would try and isolate Jones against strong iso scorers. That would give us an opportunity to see how Jones holds up. Most short PG's can get played of the floor in the playoffs, but there are a couple, like Lowry, Paul and VanVleet who are so strong that they hold up fine. I'd like to see if Tyus Jones is one of those guys.

MIL pulled that one out of a dark smelly place. Rooting MIL so I was about to turn it off
early in the 4thQ but stuck it out. Great comeback. Lot of really unhappy fans at the game.

Very happy for Ruz!

All that said, the series ain't over quite yet.

The great thing about these playoffs is the chaos that will follow. Bucks, Suns, Nets, Sixers, Utah could all possibly switch things up in the offseason.
