A Grenade Toss Is Nothing When You Survived A Bombing... Official (1)Thunder vs (8)Grizzlies 1st Round Playoff Thread

[UltimateHustler]

This game probably ended this iteration of the Grizzlies.

Should've never got rid of their dog and vet in Brooks and Adam's- even though when he was on the Grizz I admit I thought Brooks was trash (but I wouldn't have him traded for Marcus Smart who I viewed as worse) but in hindsight Brooks and Adam brought toughness the team needs.

Brooks also brought a level of intensity and swagger Memphis no longer has.

Ironically Derrick Rose could've helped this team a ton as an insurance policy for Ja and extra offense/poise if he didn't retire.

The grizzlies are not a serious team, under normal circumstances the thunder never makes a comes back. What a talented and dynamic but immature , sloppy, inconsistent team.

Crazy they went from 16 deep and a 2 seed to having to evaluate if they even have a real core. You can’t max out JJJ, Ja and Bane, even as a nothing market imo.

Memphis gotta blow it up. What they got 1 playoff series win in Ja era? And that was that goofy ass Wolves series one of the goofiest low IQ CTE series ever played fittin that was the 1 series they win wit Ja goofy ass, What they gon do next season? Hope Ja play 50 games again only to get hurt again? They a regular season team they was never a threat in playoffs. They got they ass beat by 50 this series and choked a 29pt lead in another game shyt can't get worse than that. It's over.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

JJJ overrated as f*ck,

Thunder needed this game. They thought Memphis was going to fold. Memphis did go crazy from the 3 early and eventually they were going to come back down. Hopefully that woke them up. They need to go ahead and sweep them and get rest for the next series.

Memphis messed up down the stretch hunting SGA, it competely threw their game off. They had just took a 6 point lead and abandoned that. Allowed Caruso to completely blow up their offense.

If Chet and JDub show up nobody is beating us. Thunder up.

BTW This was the correct game for TNT. LAC and Den trash blowout no comeback.

 

[DraymondT]

Why is this a bad thing?

It just show how unserious a team Memphis in. They always hold a playoff spot because they a regular season team but they never a threat in playoffs.

Should have traded Ja and never signed Bane to an extension. 40 pt playoff loss to the Lakers, another series that Ja couldn't play all the games. All the signs were there to blow it up and tank. They never should have played another second together, I will die on that hill. No version of small backcourt and non rebounding big was ever going to make it out the 2nd round.

Your team needs to be built wings first, guards is for small markets to sell jerseys to kids. Not to actually win

But that's an easy win for the better seeds that you want to see advance

Organization is dumb. They threw Brooks under the bus when they lost that Lakers series. Why anyone would think Smart was a good replacement is beyond me. That man is the real "street clothes." As soon as Boston got rid of him they win the Chip.

GG Jackson can’t even see no minutes but trash ass Konchar can get minutes for his fake hustle and one block he had on AD in the playoffs 2 years ago. Marvin Bagley would have done better in coverage on those PNRs than fukking Edey. Edey wasn’t even deterring shots in that 2nd half
I miss Brandie Clarke and Wells

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

I can tell you one thing Marcus Smart would have been great in a game like this
