Series Thread: 2) Memphis Grizzlies vs. 7) Minnesota Timberwolves

No idea.

Fire Nash and hire a HC who can make game to game adjustments.....and run it back. Maybe Simmons can make a difference next season.

They should have just kept Trigger Mike, the pringles man.

I mean, his style is suited for the current personnel.

Had he not quit, maybe they'd still have Harden.

Bad is bad and human beings will make mistakes. My major issue is in a dynamic where you can see who a crew is and before the ball is even thrown up you know exactly how that crew is going to be bad. It’s nauseating.

I guess as long as they're consistent. But thinking back with detroits second run there was a stat Larry Brown threw out (I had to look it back up) that they were 11-1 in the 05 playoffs with every other ref except one. That one was Danny Crawford. Who to this day holds nothing back on disliking Sheed.

Those kind of facts are concerning for sure.

Yep.

I can't even begin to rank the hierarchy in Memphis.

It seems to shift game by game.

Ja is #1 despite his playoff struggles.

2, 3 and 4 are less clear.

Nice problem to have.

I think Bane is the #2.

I bet he's one of the new candidates once Nash gets fired. He was there for 1 season to help Nash acclimate.

Game time. I know this is cliche and redundant but, in my opinion, the winner of this game wins the series.

Wolves really are Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Right now they are in their Hyde mode.

Expected Memphis to come out like Dallas....boy was I wrong

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Grizz playing some sloppy Knicks type ball right now.

They better clean that mess up.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Jeez. Nothing falling for Ja

I appreciate the confidence a little too much iso for Edwards

Only thing that bugs me about him.

Love the killer mind set but gotta get better at shooting for some of the attempts he takes. Does a lot of my pet peeve of taking the longest possible two.

Naz Reid is too goddamn shitty a basketball player to be out here getting technicals and giving away points.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Very shaky half for both teams at a lot of points in the half.

Seems pretty easy to say the team that plays fundamental ball for bigger stretches in the 2nd is going to win

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Jackson already falling down before the contact from towns. But towns gets so set on his moves that he follows through with it and I can't blame the refs too much for the call.

Won the challenge

Huge swing.

Minnesota might be the streakiest team I have ever seen in my life.

Naz is like djeng. They have the ability to dominating lesser players but they get exposed versus a better player and there are more players better than them than lesser.

I love the challenge because Jackson really WAS falling over before he even made contact, but I would not have complained if that charge was held up. Towns needs to not get so set in what he's gonna do sometimes.

Yeah he's got value as a bench piece especially against certain teams. Other times looks unplayable.

Def cant be chirping the other team and getting T'd up though right after we score.
