Men lie, women lie but numbers don't except when it comes to Ja and the grizzlies apparently

[Jalether]

The stats is very clear.

The grizzlies have a better winning record over a relatively large sample without ja Morant and they play better as well as a unit yet the entire sports world insist that's not the case and that they are in fact a better team with Ja than without

When it comes to grizzlies and Ja, it's ignore the numbers/stats and just go with vibes and "trust me bro"

 

[In The Zone '98]

They are not winning multiple playoff rounds without Ja and Steven Adams.

Breh....what are you trying to say?

 

[Fanservice]

I just know Ja is currently one of the most exciting players to watch in the league, and people want to see him play for that reason

I'm saying the school of thought that proclaims the grizzlies are a better team with Ja isn't backed up by facts or stats.

I need evidence based reason for people who believe this to be the case

Then don't say to ignore the stats

Heh I don't doubt Ja is one of the best players in the league, it's his impact on winning and intangibles that's been credibly disputed here.

@Jalether

Year before last a healthy Ja Morant and the Grizz beat the Warriors in the play in

Last year, Grizz are tied 1-1 with the Warriors, Ja averaged 38 point/game over the first two games. He is injured in game 3. Grizz end up losing the series.

Do you have reading comprehension

The ignore the stats comment is sarcastic jab at those who proclaim Ja makes grizzlies a better team as they have no facts to back it up

Weren't they on the verge of beating GSW in last year playoffs at full strength? Up 2-1 .What happened after Ja went down?

Grizzlies need Ja for his scoring ability and playmaking. He’s obviously not fully polish or a finished product, give him time to mature in the league. It may look that they don’t need him because they are a complete team, they’re not the 2000’s 76er’s status, they have talent up and down, but you can’t replace what Ja brings to the table. I understand it’s “shyt on Ja szn” but Memphis isn’t a top 2 seed all year without him facts.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Tyus Jones is too good to continuing coming off the bench.

The bolded is a statement that would never be made in reference to any other top player in the league

Mavs are undoubtedly better with Luka

Same with Gianni's with bucks, Denver with jokic, embiid with Philly and so on

Ditto all the older superstars like lebron,KD,curry et al

For all the shyt I give Westbrook on this forum and his young sabo rep, He still made his team better in his prime

Y'all can continue to gas the lil durk wannabe with hops if you want, but if it looks like a duck,walks like a duck and talks like a duck . . . . .

 

[OsO]

Said no one ever.

Besides you.

Just f*cking with you bruh but I'm serious about that being a horrible take. If you look up "back up point guard" in the dictionary there are two names... Tyus Jones and Austin Rivers.

Luka is better than Ja Morant, but you’re comparing 15+ year veterans to 23 year old Ja.
He’s averaging 27 and 8 and won some games for them down the stretch a few times this year. Who else on that roster can replicate that kind of production? Not to mention he’s been relatively more healthy compared to Bane and JJJ this year.

Give the yute more of a sample size in the league before you start making these shortsighted hot takes. Let’s see what they do down the stretch of the season and on the playoffs.
