The game was lost on the Warriors last offensive possession when they had 5 or 6 attempts and Memphis never secured a rebound. That was bull .
Again, the Poole effect. The Grizzlies are completely spread out trying to defend this micro ball lineup with an insane amount of shooting.
These pukes are most likely winning the championship thanks primarily to Poole's emergence.

Agreed it's very frustrating to see.
the Dubs don't stand a chance against the Bucks. I don't even think they can beat Phoenix
I hope you are right. I really hate the dubs.
This gsw-mem matchup definitely gives similar vibes to our battles with okc in 2012 & 2014
Great game. Hoping the Grizz can shake this one off. Got to clean up those Offensive boards. The Tyus Jones and Ja Morant combo backcourt has to disappear in this series.
Harsh. That was actually in if his better games as a Celt. I notice the posters who choose White over Murray are also the quite high on Vassell and Primo. Hmmm
The Bucks will be hard pressed to beat the Celtics and either way are relying on minimal veterans in outsized roles (Matthews starting, Hill/Carter in the rotation) or players who will be defensive liabilities vs the Warriors (Lopez, Portis, Allen). Still, due to having the best player and their size, I'd give them the best shot.
The Suns aren't a lock to beat the Mavericks, don't have a reliable third creator and the rare games Paul looks his age, will labor to generate offense. Too bad, because pre Poole's emergence, he'd have finally got his revenge on those pukes.
the Suns should beat the Mavs easily and have 2 great defenders in Bridges and Crowder plus size at the 5 with Ayton and a deep bench. If they stay healthy they get to the finals

I've looked around a little and can't find any info, but I'd bet Draymond Green is a league leader in those accidental face rakes in the paint.
I don't count out the Suns'/CP0's ability to choke tbh.
CP just had a perfect game to eliminate the Pelicans
CP3 was pretty clutch against the Warriors in '18. The biggest thing you have to worry about CP3 is his health. He is always prone to getting a random injury.
I ing knew the grizz were too stupid to win this series…
and as the series goes on, they will regret blowing a game where dirty ass raymond was out
If the grizz think the refs will even give them ANY calls on the road they are sadly mistaken.
this is just how the warriors win every series- they hang in there and always pay attention to detail
and then by game 6 or 7
the other team is trying to climb an insurmountable mountain
stupid ass morant doing his stupid re ed goty dance instead of playing a 48 minute solid game.
Agreed you have to win these types of games against the Warriors and put them in a hole. They still have a chance to win the series but it will be very difficult.
Ja jumping up in the air like a cat that has been unexpectedly shoved off a cliff leading to some stupid turnover needs to stop ASAP.
If he is going to do that cat jump he needs to have a shot at the basket or have a clear idea whom he is going to throw it to.
That late turnover was costly as .
As to the final shot:
A running 9 foot LEFT handed banker attempt was the play drawn up for the win?
Bull if that was the play.
Damn dubs getting the loose balls down the stretch.
i hope the suns can beat the warriors ...
warriors are the favorites imo. they can score, very active defensively, they've "been there before".
when does middleton return?
Nobody really knows when Middelton can return. I have heard rumors that he would be available for game 5 of the Celtics series but I also heard he would be back until the ECF.
He also hit a game winner over Timmy in a game 7 in the first round of 2015. It's the second round where he has difficulties.
The only thing that can save the Mavs is if Booker gets injured again. They just have too many options, while Dallas will still mostly count on Luka to do everything. I also dont think Luka is 100%, so thats another problem for them. And Ayton should completely destroy Powell and Kleber. If Mavs somehow win 2 games id consider it a success for them.
Its not over for Memphis,,,,Morant is an absolutely beast. I would pick him over any player in the league right now to build a team around. Hes only 2 years in and hasnt even scratched the surface of his prime and came 1 rebound short today from a triple double with 34/10/9. Remember the Griz lost game 1 at home to Minnesota in the 1st round,,,,this series is far from over.
I hope you are right I hate the Warriors would love to see them go out in round 2.
I still have the Warriors beating Memphis but lol @ all the "those pukes are about to win the whole thing, Warriors got this" talk already.
I remember last year when everyone kept saying the Clippers were the favorites. Let the series play out first before we start proclaiming champions.
