Memphis trimmed it to 18. Will be 16 with the two awarded FTs coming. Still lots of basketball left to be played

That was a huge 13-3 run to end the half. Grizzlies still technically in it. Although they need to start the 2nd half on another run to realistically have a chance.

Brooks gone. Have to call that flagrant 2 if you’re calling Harden for that. Still think Embiid should’ve got one too.

Very unimpressed by this Memphis team. Their offense is so tough to watch.

The Grizzlies are more focused on starting fights and making dirty plays/moves on opponents than they are actually playing winning basketball

Almost thug-like, sort of like Morant’s off-the-court stuff if you ask me

Could the Fakers possibly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

They see themselves as the modern iteration of the Bad Boys I think

I know that Memphis is missing Adams and Clarke, but they're not a very good team. I have no idea how they got the 2 seed. Not much offense outside of Morant and Bane, and not a lot of highly skilled players.

For all the warranted criticism of Morant, that 4th quarter was special.  Too little too late, but I’ll be left wondering what would have happened if the refs hadn’t missed the flagrant on Schröder.

Memphis can still reclaim home-court if they steal Game 4. But hard now that the Lakers have a momentum

Brooks probably be suspended cause of James acting job
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

Man.  I really thought the Clippers could make a run at it.  Stupid injuries.  I like a lot of the guys on that team.  And I’ve actually been enjoying Westbrook (bricks and all).
Yup

Nothing about Memphis has impressed me this season. Nothing.

Well there you go. Another day of playoff games, another groin shot ejection.

The Grizzlies are a young team. They are getting a good lesson right now with this series.

Memphis is a very deep team.  Those type of teams always win a lot of games in the regular season, but then struggle in the postseason.  Unlike many of those teams, they do have Morant who is a borderline top 10 player, who should still get better.
