JFK's shot looks so much smoother now compared to the beginning of the season. You guys saw some of those moves in garbage time? He gave us a sneak peak into his future. He's probably going to be a much better shooter than we'd expect
I am loving Iggy being dad in the room especially with JK and also Dray to some extent. I am haven't seen him with stern looks like these ever. If we win it all, Iggy letting a primal screen standing on the table is a guarantee.
BATT (Big Ass Train Trip) update: Been rolling through eastern Utah (desolate but beautiful) and will soon cross into Colorado. The trip through the Rockies and along the Colorado River is supposed to be the most scenic train ride in the whole country. It’s coming up soon.
The Warriors are tough as hell. They don’t get wound up by a 20-5 run. These guys have beaten Lebron 3 times in the Finals. They’ve beaten into oblivion badass playoff juggernaut teams from the past.
The lame petty online whining and surface-level flexing on the court isn’t going to keep you from having to outplay the Warriors for 48 minutes.
As others have pointed out, this series easily could have been 3-0 already with the warriors shooting like dog shit in the first two games. The bushleague antics had already painted them in a bad light, and the Morant injury has now manifested into a lame attempt at ref retribution (refribution ?) Lebron style because they’re frustrated as hell. The Warriors are frustrating to play because they’re tough and don’t care if you’re hot and feeling yourself… because they’re going to come back and make you do it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Tonight showed what the Dubs can do when they actually hit the good looks their offense generates. End them in 5.
Ja tweaked his knee somewhere along the way. Maybe even during the trap in question. Then he felt it when Poole pulled on that leg. This game was lost already and he knew the team needed motivation to stay in the series (you can hear it in the mic’d up clips). At the foul line he made a decision to create some drama and get the team angry for the next one (when Brooks will be back and getting boo’d every time he touches the ball). So he starts limping. Knee will be fine and he’ll start the next game with some ostentatious wrap on it and be his usual explosive self.
But we’ll never know so let’s just (nonviolently) beat the crap out of them.
-Sutterer says that Morant and Poole's knee colliding with each other is the likely cause of the injury. The collision turned Morant's knee inward and put stress on the inner knee ligaments.
-He further confirms it when he shows a clip of Morant massaging the inner part of his knee. If Poole really did grab and yank Morant's knee, it would injure the OUTER portion of the knee.
-Sutterer mentions about how Morant had knee issues this season before the playoffs started. He also showed a clip when Morant's right knee collided with Klay at the very beginning of the 3rd quarter, which may have hurt Morant's knee along with the knee collision in the 4th quarter.
Steven Adams is back, but why isn't Jenkins using him? His rebounding and size is going to be helpful against the Warriors. The Warriors have outrebounded the Grizzlies so far in the series, and they're doing a great job boxing out Brandon Clarke, who grabbed a bunch of rebounds against the Timberwolves.

It’s gotta be frustrating for Memphis.

JP playoff career (now 269 total minutes): 25.0 pts per 36 on **.706 true shooting.**
I think he and Ja are now #1-2 in a 2019 redraft. In some order.
Nice summary by Slater this morning ($): https://theathletic.com/3299300/2022/05/08/warriors-explode-for-142-points/
I used to like Ja before this series. That's going to be a lot harder now.
true shooting percentages (w/ total points in parentheses):
Looney: 100% (6)
OPJ: 92.8% (13)
Kuminga: 90% (18)
Moody: 83.3% (5)
Wiggs: 81.4% (17)
Klay: 78.1% (21)
Poole: 75.5% (27)
Steph: 74.4% (30)
Draymond: 64.4% (5)
Lee: 0% (0)
JTA: 0% (0)
Beli: 0% (0)
@Sleepy Freud, Klay obviously heard you slandering his rebounding and pulled down a game (edit: and Season) high 9 Boards!
So this is actual play that hurt JaMoron's knee

How is this related to Poole again?
Its clear MEM is trying to create any narrative that they can, out of clear desperation. They know that they're on tilt in this series. Bad form kids
Morant, WTF?

Someone on r/warriors said that the letters stand for: "get off my dick all y'all stupid bandwagon ass warriors kids be lame y'all fake fans."
Dr. Brian Sutterer made a video regarding the Morant injury:

This series needs to end so we can move on to CP3 and his antics… blech.
