One legged, Klay!

Kyle Anderson must the slowest release in NBA history…

Ja's bounce is insane.

Slo mo. Great player at UCLA had a nice NBA career but yes slow release

 

[Russ Smith]

Morant unstoppable.

Yeah he is so good it is just fun to watch.

Yet, somehow, it works for him.

Porter and Poole are both now +26 tonight. Amazing Poole was the 4th highest rated player on that La Lumiere HS team that year and he's this good now in the NBA.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Damn you hate to see this with Morant. Hope he’s OK

 

[Russ Smith]

I thought I saw Ja land funny earlier in the game but I hate to say it he's acting like the knee bent in and I hope not that's usually not good for the knee.

Hope he's ok kid is legit

 

[Russ Smith]

jebus I think Kuminga is hurt now he's limping.

This sucks if Morant is hurt. Was hoping this series would go to 7 with triple OTs

I just hate to see anybody get hurt but especially a young star.

Curry then Poole off the bench seem almost unstoppable. My gosh.

I get that but I think it's easy for young guys like Brooks and Ja to think that. If they're still in the league at Iggy's age they will probably understand why he wanted to be on a contender and didn't want to report, he can't play a full season

Of course. They’re too young to get it yet. That said, they were a young team that could’ve used a vet. Iggy instead chose not to be that. I think that’s rather lame.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Kerr needs to do his freaking job…this is three straight games of this bull crap sagging off of Morant at the top of the arc…it’s a complete and utter dud and fail strategy.

I’m not sure they have much of a choice.

I thought curry got fouled on this play live, but it turns out it was a designed “turnstile” move:

Poole needs to be suspended

Utter Nonsense.

You want to see where Ja really hurt his knee?

He closes out hard on Klay…bangs his knee hard on Klay and it hyperextends.

I mean, it's the playoffs, it's the Warriors and the other team's best players are going down in curious circumstances. Par for the course.

#thecode.

I don't know for sure what caused Morant's injury, but that reach by Poole was... odd, even though I don't think it was malicious. But I also think that if the roles were reversed our local Warriors fans and Steve Kerr would be screaming bloody murder.

In the regular season the Grizzlies actually played better without him. But the moment here is... a tad bigger. I don't see guys stepping up to the level they did back in December.
