2025 1st Round: (1) Oklahoma City Thunder Vs. (8) Memphis Grizzlies

Ja earned some bad karma, and this karma is aggressive.

 

where did he get the bad karma from? the invisible arsenal?

 

Lu Dort won them this game…u need your role players to step up in the playoffs, and he did just that taking care of Ja

 

Chet is from Minnesota why dude sound like he's from Memphis? pissing me off.

 

Lu Dirtyass at it again

 

Good comparison. Like Rose, I think Ja has something wrong between the ears.

 

Caruso is up there with the corniest players in the league. Celebrating like they didnt just beat up a trash team missing their best player

 

Wouldn't trade for Ja Morant either.

 

Different angle, dude was more celebrating that they came back from 27 points deficit and a 28 outing by Scottie Pippen.

Even without Morant, Bane and JJJ are still quality NBA players.

 

I wasn't wrong too, they came close even without Morant.

You should be shocked due to a close loss.

 

But Dylan Brooks was the problem in the locker room.

 

OKC is overrated. This series would’ve gone 6 if jaw didn’t get hurt. Now they’ll get the sweep. Clippers should handle them in 5 or 6 next round.

 

The difference between Amen's and Dort's undercut is Dort is an actual dirty player. Amen has had a few scuffles and temporal moments but I've never seen him intentionally try to injure a player. I've seen Dort do that plenty of times. Plus he's a flopper.

 

Brooks was a problem for them while on the floor. Rockets Dillon has a very different mindset than Memphis Dillon…..most of the time.

 

Give it some years, Amen is in his 2nd season, his body count will grow as the intensity grows. (almost unavoidable)

Dort does have a questionable rep......but nobody is innocent being called upon as an enforcer.......I never heard of a good boy elite defender.

Nobody is on Bruce Bowen level or on Draymond's.

 

Nahh. The Grizzlies won 56 and 51 games with Dillon. Then they lost Brooks, Stephen Adams, DeAnthony Melton, Kyle Anderson and replaced them with crappier players and it shows especially on defense, where they went from elite to middle of the pack.

 

Nothing I've read ever implied DB was a locker room problem for the Grizzlies; it was quite the opposite. Obviously his play on the floor is another story.

People need to understand Ja was and remains THE locker room problem for the Grizzlies. Nothing changed after DB left them.

 

I guess Vegas knew about this a few hours ago because OKC was favored by 14.5 before I got out of bed today.
