In fairness, MEM is playing losing ball by playing Ja too many minutes.  Check his +/-.

If the Grizzlies do right by themselves and sit Morant, they've got this in the bag.

How can anyone watch Trae and Morant play and come to the conclusion that Morant deserves the All NBA 2nd team nod? Chris Kirschner is a joke.

Antman needs to come home after he's done fooling around with Minnesota. He's a monster.

KAT too.

Imagine Trae,Antman,two big 3 and D wings and Kat....

Trae, Ant, 2 BIg wings and CC or OO would work too.. lol

[Sothron]

I guess someone @kg01 has some egg on that face. KAT was a straight up killer today.

These announcers are sucking off Ja so hard in this game where Memphis is losing by near double digits, it's disgusting. Comparing him to the same trajectory as Luka, blah blah blah. I've got nothing but respect for Ja, seems like a good dude. But the amount of unwarranted fellatio he gets from the media is bonkers; especially when Trae is better than him in every single way except dunking.

How dare you!?  I said I was rooting for him and this is the thanks I get?

Granted, it was more me rooting against Morant but potatoes, potah-toes. 

Also Morant with 20 free throws?  I guess folks are just gonna be ok with that as long as it's not Trae?

CK is biased since Trae has challenged him openly multiple times.

Ja will be often injured. He's just flinging his body into people.  

Edwards has been locking him down.

But will he do what he did against us?  Be 'hurt' after the game outcome is secure.

I have to say that he is so under utilized there. He sealed his man every time down the floor. Trae would have 20 assists to him. Utah never passed him the ball.

I'm not against Gobert. I just don't think the salary and slight increase in production is worth 15+ million.

I can see having the take it's just that, I do think Rudy for US is worth that. He significantly raises our floor. That's massive to me and he neutralizes Trae defensively in the RS in particular.

Exactly right.  Its NOT on Ja.  His team is superb.  Them winning is definitely NOT on him.

I see what you were doing there, supes. 

I don't like anyone who has Ja over Trae in the All NBA list.

Mannnn. I hate that one of the 6ers or raptors have to win. I hate Embiids game. He lives at the line, but feels like it never gets talked about. 
 

hope the 6ers win tho. Raptor fans are obnoxious.

Insufferable.

[kg01]

Oh lookit that.  Eliminate TOR's best play, the brik-it then rebound, and they're trash. 

[JayBirdHawk]

Maxey is eating up FVV....and Raps fans think he can check Trae 

[RandomFan]

So after last year when Trae and the Hawks went into Philly and snatched their souls in game 1, to what degree of shambles would they be in if the Raptors somehow came back and won this game after being down 19 points headed into the 4th? I know it's not gonna happen, but maaaaan, I'd pay good money to watch the meltdown if it did.

They would fold like a cheap lawn chair if that happened. Simmons wasn't the only mentally fragile star on the 76ers. He just took all of the blame because he didn't have the luxury of hiding behind free throws like Embiid could during the series last season. That implosion was a team effort.

[h4wkfan]

As much as I hate the raptors I do like Scottie Barnes. That was tough to watch. Embiid is always allowed to play like a human wrecking ball with 0 repercussions. Someone needs to send a message. Unreal.

Agreed.  If you're gonna act like a bully, you can't also be the dude whining about touch fouls or expecting to make your living at the line.  JoeLLLL wants to be seen as a bully but reffed like a pansy.
