Might have dragged his second pivot foot after taking a step with the first lol.
Usually a contender acquires a guy to matchup with someone like Embiid in the playoffs. As long as the Heat have guys like Markieff Morris’ corpse and PJ Tucker trying to stop him he’s going to live at the line against these mismatches.
They were calling some ticky tack shit, though. Over the limit with 7:30 left in the quarter.
I will not supply a link but if you know James Harden's extracurricular interests (adult entertainment), this snippet should give you context:
If Memphis can play with more offensive movement (rather than one on one moves), they should be able to win. GSW doesn't look that sharp
Ja is an all world player, but Memphis is just a very different team defensively when he's not on the floor.
And well, defense matters. A lot.
Replacing Ja with Steven Adams and having Brooks back entirely changes how the Grizzlies play. JJJ is going to win DPOY at some point.
Adams has been useless on offense, but maybe his prescence tightens up Memphis D?
He was extremely effective on both ends during his 1Q rotation. Long term I don’t know how effective he’ll be but I know it will cause the Grizz to play differently than with Ja.
For sure. If he can do what TL did and learn to play without fouling, he'll be the most versatile defender in the league. Got a long way to go though...JJJ had the 2nd most PFs this year. He averaged 5.9/36 last year and got it down to 4.6/36 during the regular season, but it's ballooned to 6.6/36 in the playoffs. Gotta stay on the court.
I just tuned in after grabbing a bite to eat. It's halftime and the leading scorer across both teams has 11?
The NBA clearly got word to the officials that they need to start calling some shooting fouls on the floor.
He's just so over the top at almost all times. Which, whatever, but it's silly that he has his own rules.
This is one uglyyyyyyy game though. You can almost sense the GSW run, but it hasn't come yet.
lol...good thing he already signed his contract.
I mean....right? How is it that Draymond can get away with it? It's not subtle, it's egregious.
Brooks really has that combo of arrogant confidence and less than awesome skill.
3-17. It's one thing when a good player has a brutal night, but this is a guy who 43% in the regular season (31% from 3) and is shooting under 35% in the playoffs. Just pure trash.
Why can't they just have an official look at the replay while the teams are marching down the other end to shoot free throws
