I'm pretty surprised early betting line has Memphis favored by 1.5.

I would have guessed 3 because of the response factor, but I’m sure there is some hedging with uncertainty of Morant playing.

at worst we go 500 the rest of the series. But Reaves is that guy so It should be swept up quicker.

AD and Bron stay involved. Feed AR but don't overwork him. Dlo calm down and play your game. Involve Rui. Please give Mo some burn. WE GOT DIS!!

your man DS can do the job and press Morant full court to see if he can still dribble.

Memphis plays better w/o Ja. I would want them with Ja and a banged up Ja is even better!

I want Bron to play as Kobe did in the 2012 regular season when we bought in Ramon Sessions. Part of the reason we lost to OKC that year is we reverted back to Kobe iso-ball which was never going to be enough to beat OKC especially since that was the first year Durant had surpassed Kobe as a player. You can say Sessions shrank but Kobe relegated Ramon to spot up shooting and never empowered him in the playoffs. What Lebron did in Game 1 was perfect. He didnt dominate the ball and even made a catch and shoot three off a D'Lo pass. Empower those young guys and choose your moments to take over

I dont think so and thats certainly not the case this year as it takes away 2 major weapons for the Grizz. Transition dynamo and a credible perimeter threat who can score off the bounce in a half court setting. But thats a healthy Ja. A banged up Ja might be beneficial to the Lakers as the Lakers already know what they are going to do to defend him

Lakers don't need to resort to hacking Ja's injured hand. That's their style. The Lakers are the better team and can win straight up. Game 2 is crucial to ending any hope in their minds of winning the series.

Ramon Sessions became a certified agent and started an independently owned firm, On Time Agency (OTA). I wonder how the agency is faring.

What the percentage chance that the nuts on the Grizz retaliate to the Morant injury now that the some idiots are crying that AD “sliding” to get the charge was a weak play?

There was nothing weak about the play. It was a good defensive play. AD moved outside the restricted area, established position and took the charge. The way Ja plays it was just a matter of time before he got hurt. If any Grizzlies player retaliates he should be given a flagrant 2 and a game suspension. Go to widescreen to watch.

AD was there before Ja took off, I don’t know how that was “sliding”
Don’t we have TT on the bench? Heard he is pretty tough

Agreed, I think the only way we get far in the playoffs is to finish teams off quickly to maximize time off between series. We’re just not built for multiple seven game series.
