Morant came here to play our Sixers. Smart was out, I dont even think Jackson the PF played. He had a bunch of 7 foot euro types?
Morant was bored, disinterested for the first two quarters. He woke up sometime in the third quarter? The game was OVER 😂…the game was over…he starts dishing out dimes, making gravity defying shots.
He’s gonna be a headache for the league at times 😂…but him being a special talent cant be denied.

If the Warriors lose this play in and first round, its time to say goodbye to Steve Kerr. Making a play for Hield when he is cold? I’d rather have him make Steph go to logo and shoot a prayer there than make a Hield shoot a 3. Then not using Kuminga and Moody? And not using Tatum at the Olympics?

If Ja Morant can’t lead the Grizzlies out of the play-in, does he really deserve the “superstar” label? Or is he just a highlight player hyped by the media?

I agree with the young lady. Ja can reintroduce himself. Steven ABC. Calm down bruh. Stop refuting your people’s opinions..

Grizzlies will win so memphis can face that Canadian they escape goated. Then Klay or the kings will get beat by steph so that golden state can face LA in the western conference in the finals instead of the semi finals. According to the nba script😊

I bet if LBJ said YN = young ni$$@$ on national tv, let alone first take, Stephen A Smith would be barking more than mad Dog, decrying why it is wrong, etc etc and philosphizing abotu it. ?But I bet he doesn’t even respond to it because it was not LBJ or Bronny
