Series Thread: 2) Memphis Grizzlies vs 3) Golden State Warriors

[calsnowskier]

I think I heard on KNBR they were 25-5?

Did he miss 30 games this year? Maybe that is throughout his career?

 

[calsnowskier]

Regardless, regular season wins =/= playoff wins.

 

[MHSL82]

Wasn't it you @bksballer89 that posted a tweet about their record without Ja?

Most likely

Next time, post it with Ja. He likes to participate.

Well, I brought it up because he most likely is out tonight.

Exactly.

It is 1 thing winning without your star in the regular season.

Quite another to do it in the playoffs.

We shall see.

He played in 57 games this season.

Oh, I get it but they seem to be a little more balanced without him....just saying it was interesting.

Not saying they will win without him, but it's certainly possible. Especially, if the W's go cold from the field.

Maybe it was 20-5…

Is Ja actually a no go tonight, or is Jenkins just playing possum?
I think he might be good to go on a limited minutes basis. We shall see.
But I really don't care either way. I'm sure Kerr and his staff will have the Dubs prepared for any possibility.
Dubs will likely head to Memphis up 3-1 for Wednesday's game 5...but even if it's 2-2, then that's cool too.

Any team can end up beating themselves. No stopping THAT. And bringing up the fact the Griz have a good track record without Ja is legit. My point was not attacking you for bringing it up. I was just pointing out a strong counter argument.

Is lying about a players status allowed in the NBA? I know the coaches need to be “honest” in the NFL (whatever that means), but I have no idea if the same is true for the NBA.

I think they had him listed as doubtful/unlikely a few days ago, but that's a vague thing by design, and can be upgraded to questionable or likely to play come game day....ie: game time decision.
Also..fwiw...I'm not saying he's lying...he's only using the SOP.

I get it but you also have to understand playing without Ja is like playing with house money.

These crazy kids don't know any better.....LOL.

No offense taken either, veteran of these sports message boards.....been through the wars on Fan Nation.

That sounds right.....pretty sure it was BKS that posted the tweet earlier this season.

I got it. It’s my stupid humor. The other guy said to post without Ja so I was pretending like you posted it without Ja posting with you. But as my dad says, if you have to explain, it’s not funny.

I think the Suns were fined after Booker came back much quicker than expected.

I'm telling you, man. Every team in the NBA cheats except for the Jazz and the Warriors.

Well, cheating is against the code, so…
