oof
Memphis 152 - 79 OKC
Yes OKC rested a couple, but Memphis was sans Morant.
That's an epic bet down
I’ve seen some 40 point and 50 point wins, but a 73 point win. That was ridiculous. These no name bench guys for the Grizzlies getting career highs 😃

Dame Lillard did an AMA on reddit and it's pretty good. Some great answers to some good questions. Loved the "welcome to the NBA moment" question
-
Warriors break the Suns streak with the return game.
How good is the ‘Mitten’? Man he’s got some bounce.
-
Back to earth with a thud with that loss. Had to happen sooner rather than later and an away game against the best team in the NBA when missing arguably your best player and having just motivated them by having beaten them a few days before is probably the perfect storm.
-
@shark add to that the Suns were in a back to back game.
Warriors were outplayed for 90% of todays game against the Spurs in their back to back. The Warriors were down by 20+ at one stage. They made a fantastic run in the 4th quarter but Spurs held on.
-
I can't believe how close that got
Murray is really good and our future.
How to beat the warriors? Catch them on a back-to-back having played the 2nd best team in the comp twice in a week
-
“Miles Bridges just put the Freak in the basket”
One of my favourite lines of the season

With the Grizz beating the Lakers, they're now 6 - 1 without Morant and sitting 4th in the West.
hey @voodoo Iverson's team sucked without him, they didn't get better when he didn't play
just saying

Desmond Bane is a beast...
6-1 is great though seriously, good on them - I like their team
And it really is fun to hate the Lakers this year. LeBron is whining more and more, AD is still a spineless puppy, and Rusty still averages 3x more turnovers than he does made 3's. As soon as Caruso left they were dead to me.
-
76ers getting spanked at home by the Jazz. Jazz had 8 players in double figures. Embiid is getting up there with Luka in whinging stakes.
Just finished watching that Spurs game. They get another big WC scalp in the Nuggets. Murray, Walker and White playing very good. They have good athletic guards that all like to rebound and play D. They could scrape a play-in spot and be a spoiler.
-
@act-crusader only because the West is weak. It's a very limited roster with Murray the standout (who isn't even playing AS level)
Still, the season is going better than I expected.

Exactly.
It’s basically the Warriors and Suns clear out in front, then the next best team Utah, and then about 7-8 teams that are okayish to mediocre. Spurs are in that group.

Watched it. Crazy shot to get it too
What a fucking phenom.
-
Without doubt the best shooter of all time.
Would have been good to see Larry Bird play in today's game I reckon. He would have played outside a lot more, protected his body, and would have jacked up 12 x 3's per game instead of 3. With his strength I have no doubt he could knock down shots from well beyond the arc.
In his prime he averaged 29 / 10 / 6 on 52 / 43 / 88.
Nuts

I find myself agreeing with Stephen A (who I fucking despise).
If this team gets it together and Curry wins another ring or two, he could go past LeBron as the recent GOAT. He's already changed the game and he beat LeBron 3 (?) times already. If they win it all this year....

Brooooo
That's a terrible take.
I LOVE Curry, but he has a heap of weaknesses, and there are a host of reasons why they got up over that Cavs team, KD being a fairly large one. He's never had a commanding finals, and he's just not in the same league.
LeBron is clearly #2 all time, Curry scratching at top 10
And Stephen A is a tool. A very media savvy one, but a tool nonetheless. The Kim Kardashisn of sports
Edit - KD will finish his career ranked higher than Curry too. Best forward scorer of all time, and a much better defender. He's top 10 easily.

I agree about Stephen A, but in twenty years will we really be talking about LeBron?
Who had to move to win?
Who couldn't get past Steph?
Who hasn't changed the game?
I dunno, I used to really dislike Steph, but now I just can't. He has unlimited range and has literally changed the game.
Edit: btw, this is still hypothetical based on him getting another ring or two.

Everyone moves to win now, and Steph actively recruited KD. Steph never won a finals MVP. LeBron dragged disgusting teams to the finals. Steph gets abused on defense and has never delivered at GOAT level in the finals.
In 20 years LeBron will still be the #2 player of all time.
It's just not an argument man.
Edit - just to be clear! I love Steph, I really do. And I think he's a top 13, maybe 10 guy all time, when he's done. But KD is definitely top 10, and LeBron is top 2 right now.
