Marc Gasol please these are the playoffs.

 

[TheSadRanger]

This is a Harlem Globetrotters vs Washington Generals game.

edit: They did a little chat with Mayweather during halftime.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Who was it that said Joerger should have gotten coach of the year?

LOL

 

[Elfforkusu]

Doesn't appear to be affecting him, thankfully.

It will be affecting him tomorrow...

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i wish gasol made that globetrotters shot

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Come on Grizz, at least make it entertaining...

 

[iShouldGoPro]

GS has Memphis exactly where they want them... Trying to shoot beyond the arc

 

[TheSadRanger]

LOL

Not his fault that he has wings that can't shoot, I'd say Joerger has done a pretty damn good job and even stole 2 in this series.

It's easy to praise Kerr when he has one of the most stacked teams in the NBA.

Wait, what?
You realize that most of the players on GS weren't this good last year. They've improved exponentially over the summer.
Plus, Curry makes his team better.

And Kerr is shutting down Memphis' offense by forcing them to the three point line.
Kerr has been key to helping this team become all they can be.
Don't hate

 

[kaiju]

Unstoppable mode.

 

[Gully State]

We're playing downhill now...still a lot of time left though..

Lee!!

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Memphis Grizzlies need a Danny Green, not a Jeff Green. Need to go after him in free agency.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Joerger throws in the towel by putting all the white dudes.......... and Vince Carter on the floor

[CassidyIzABeast]

Updated hot take prediction:

Warriors in 4 in the finals

 

[iShouldGoPro]

1 Grizzly timeout + Iguana and Klay having a game = GAME OVER

He threw in the towel when he challenged his team to score 100 against GS.

pls, GS shut down Memphis by doubling Z-Bo and Gasol. It's nothing fancy and it took two losses for them to start doing it. David Lee has helped a lot coming off the bench for another big.

I'm not hating, I think Kerr is a decent coach. Your also downplaying GS roster. I would take Iguodala, Lee, Livingston, Barbosa in a second over anyone that Memphis has on its bench.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

What? Keeping his entire starting lineup on the floor is throwing in the towel?

FIXED for truth

warriors were likely a playoff team with marc jackson (as they had been the previous 2 years with him) but kerr took a good team and made them the best team in the league. he is owed a lot of credit for that

Don't dig yourself in a hole bro...
Doubling Gasol and Zbo IS forcing them to the 3 point line LOL when they can't make shots, GS is able to take the lead. When the lead is high enough, Grizzlies are forced beyond the arc to close the gap, shots in which they are inefficient at.

You are naive to say that Kerr isn't a huge reason that GS is going this far. Open your eyes, man. The regular season statistics say it all, not to mention their playoff progress thus far.
GS is better because their players are outplaying Memphis in every way.
Sorry

Similar to another coach in the Bay Area at one time.

Kerr having the willingness to bring in an actual coaching staff to assist him was a huge part of that.

Your agreeing with me about doubling Z-Bo and Marc, I'm not arguing about that.

Sure Kerr should get credit, but let's not act like you don't have a GOAT 3pt MVP shooter and a really freaking solid team.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Goodnight, MemphisGaf
Love ya

Curious what Chuck is gonna say tonight.

He's probably gonna be wrong again.

The point people are making is that the offensive scheme change this season put in by the coaching staff is a big reason for their team's success this year. There was a lot more iso ball and way less movement with Mark Jackson last season. Even with the improvements from Curry and Thompson over the summer, I don't see that alone being enough to seeing this sort of offensive improvement if they were still under last year's system. I also don't see Jackson pushing out David Lee and Iguodala out of the starting lineup or handling the in-game rotations like GS has been doing this season either.

Yes, Kerr inherited a stacked team. But he and his assistant coaches are undoubtedly getting a lot more out of it with the adjustments and tweaks they've implemented.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Really Kenny?

"Bang Bang Brothers"?

lol

True, and I'm probably being dumb by not recognizing GS led the NBA with assists during the regular season which obviously has a lot to do with it.

 

[Gully State]

I noticed that in this series the warriors have gone away from having Bogut on the top of the key initiating the offense.

 

[msdstc]

Same old Grizz lol. Every year it starts off "this is the year they put it together". They've been hovering at this exact level for years now, they just haven't really progressed. Either way Curry has to be the most exciting player to watch right now, love his game.

 

[grandjedi6]

Everything is 3-2. I'm really hoping we get 4 game sevens at this point.

‏@CVivlamoreAJC
After Paul Pierce hit go-ahead 3-pointer, he looked at Hawks bench and said "Series."

 

[TheSadRanger]

Huh, they just showed some gif on Inside a dude made out of Shaq's fall. Thought it was going to be Sunhi's but it wasn't. I guess they never saw it :/

 

[LyleLanley]

He's still got it!

 

[panthapanda]

I thought it was series too until BOSS reminded me that there was still hope.

I won't live to see the ECF if I continue to be a Hawks fan.

try. your team is the most likely representative for the East in the NBA Finals.

Nah.

Not sure about that.. the real ECF is Cavs Bulls and who comes out of that will eventually get clobbered by the team that comes out of west.


Edit: games today EST all espn

@ Bulls 8pm

shiiiiiittttt

[Freedom = $1.05]

Bulls need to stop blowing this series. They'll never have a better chance than now, with both Love and Kyrie being limited or out. Stop messin' this sure thing up.

 

[Vanillalite]

Yep total trash talker till he loses and disappears.

Hate people like this. I don't even mind talking trash to add some fun and color for the game, but don't run away when it doesn't go your way.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Apparently Pierce yelled "Series" when he hit the go ahead shot yesterday to the bench.

Yeah, hawks looking real suspect, losing to the Wizards sans Wall is pretty laughable.

Noah is the Cavs secret weapon though. We just didn't see it until it was too late.

Super mega nervous about today.

Damn.
