    Ja deserves better. If the city cant give him better, we will lose him.

    that said, grizz in 7

  2. swamp_donkey26

    The fact you can walk away from lebron when he’s mid air and still get called for a foul is laughable

    But running into Ja’s landing space is legal

  3. istealpintsfromcvs

    Obviously would have preferred a win but I think that was the best realistic outcome after that first quarter. win the next one and take back home court.

  4. alternatebow3

    Hey at least we know Ja’s back. Hopefully that was just a cramp at the end. Onto game 4.

  5. Jenny_Fartaway

    Look on the bright side. Ja Morant and Tyus Jones combined for 45 points tonight.

  6. blibbard

    Cant complain much about the 2nd half. I hope we never have a first Q like that again lol. If we even had a semi meh 1st Q we woulda won today which is mind boggling

  7. idontreallyknowchief

    Dillon Brooks ends the game as the 3rd leading shot taker 😃!

  8. The fact we almost came back and that Ja didn’t miss a beat is something positive to take away from this game. That first quarter was absolutely horrendous tho.

    All we need to do is win game 4 and we got home court back. I BELIEVE BABY, JA GOT US.

  9. freakman013

    NBA spends the whole season handing out flagrants for not giving landing space to shooter. And when it happens to Ja he doesn’t get anything and it tweaked his ankle. This league… But they reward Lebron and Reeves flopping all night

  10. Look_Listen_Origin

    Do not play DB game 4 – tired of him never backing shit up.

    Thank you Ja

    JJJ, be better, Tyus, be better and stop turning the ball over and we have a good chance on Monday

  11. 1. We need Adams or at least a quality rebounding center if we want to advance in any series
    2. I am sick of Brooks
    3. Where tf have Tyus and Bane been?
    4. Santi is a traffic cone.
    5. Refs fucked us almost as hard as we fucked ourselves

  12. edminthemorning

    Sportcenter trying to give Lebron all the credit haha

  13. Worthy808

    How did we score 9 points? In the first quarter

  14. Waffleshuriken

    Honestly crazy that it was only a 10 point loss. If they didnt completely shit themselves in the first qtr it was within grasp.

  15. More-Cauliflower2585

    I don’t understand why they’re not running more plays for Tillman to score.

  16. vtheminer

    If Dillon had shot as well as the rest of the team up until he got ejected we would have been down 13 at the half instead of 16. Up to you guys if you think that changes much but everyone except ja played like shit for 3 quarters and its a miracle we were as close as we were.

  17. Look_Listen_Origin

    Dillon had one more FGA than JJJ despite JJJ playing 11 more mins lmfao. Just don’t play the dude

  18. i was asleep for the first half (thankfully).

    so from my pov, we played solid, and dillon only took one wild shot :-0

  19. A nine point quarter?! A NINE POINT QUARTER?!!?

    And yeah Dillon had basically a rock bottom game, but he’s far from the only reason why we lost, especially since he didn’t play for a half basically haha. The whole team not named Ja simply did not play with the necessary fire for long stretches tonight. Maybe the worst game of Tyus’ career to boot

    We need to get our shit together and open Game 4 like our opponents opened Game 3. Our season likely depends on it

  20. TheStuffisLegal

    Brooks is a detriment to this team. Odds are against is without Adams and Clarke but his shot selection and antics continue to fuck us over. We’ve sucked on the road all year but the final 3 quarters were alright. Need to start game 3 hot. Ngl I would start Luke over Brooks at this rate. Something has to be adjusted

  21. 88TheBestCrow88

    We once again see how Ja Morant is a special player

  22. idontreallyknowchief

    If it wasn’t for Tyus, Dillon would’ve had the worst FG percentage on the 3rd most shots.

  23. jbeast1223

    Ja carrying the team in the playoffs while his teammates disappoint him and play like some bums, nothing we haven’t seen before, at least this is a reminder for the mfs that was questioning who the best player on this team is just because JJJ had a couple of good games

  24. Projinator

    Maybe it’s the emotions but Game 4 feels like an all time franchise important game. You can’t have Ja put out a performance like that, just to lose the very next game and go down 3-1 in a series. This team is trying to build something, a first round exit against any team is going to be a step back, will be interesting to see how Kleiman responds if that ends up being the case.

  25. SnakeArms6677

    Whatever that first quarter was is the best example of how this playoff series has mostly gone. We just can’t seem to hit basic shots and let the Lakers run all over us
