Would have loved mo bamba, but Denver didn’t have the contracts to trade for anyone making over a couple mill. Bryant was about all they could get

The media really hates Jokic.

Stop it. That was a valid reason not to overturn the call. If we had kept our foot on their throats in the third then that weak call wouldn't have mattered. If you want to be mad then be mad at how flat we came out after halftime.

Yeah, you're right. They did come out flat as I feared they would. Randle hit a miraculous shot to end the madness.

I will give the Heat credit though, their defense really did ramp up and it was really really good, but still was not feeling all of those calls Butler got in his favor.


Yeah, Miami is too good not to make a push when getting bossed like they were in the first half...but we really didn't seem ready for how much they cranked up their effort.

Would love to see us start coming out in situations like that looking to put teams away...but maybe they'd burn themselves out for the 4th quarter if they tried to keep that intensity up for 48 minutes :dontknow:

Someone explain to me how that’s a foul on KCP. That might be the worst call of the season

Grabbed his throat?? Ja Morant is such a **** clown.

Thank God the Grizzlies are perennial failures. I'd be so upset if this team could actually make an impact in the NBA.

I guess defenders have to get out of the way of drivers now, too.

Denver Jesus horrific from 3. It’s not like they’ve been bad shots either. Just really bad tonight and that’s the difference

The Grizzlies are lucky to be up by 7 considering that they're shooting 37.5% from the field. This is blowout if they shoot 45%.

Not true they had a 9 million dollar trade exemption they could have used, I wanted Plumbee

Gotta love how Edwards looked like he was on ketamine against the warriors but against us looks like he's been diving in cocaine.
