Ja had 25 FT’s last night. Ridiculous. Refs gave Ja every foul possible. The game was physical for the first few min but then the refs took over.

ya im a blazer fan and Ja gets ridiculous calls, we beat them with no dame last night. I would say Suns or Warriors are by far the top threats

@DaletterO No Dame or Nas. They didn’t have Brooks so that’s big but this Grizz team has been playing very well minus Ja. I’m glad Portland gets a break because they have been playing some crazy tempo games. I’m good if they make the playoffs but as long as the Pels don’t. 😁

it sounds like you don’t know what your talking about. 6.5 games before the all star break. this is a joke. at this pace the suns have a 13 game lead on the league

Nuggets are the Scariest team in the West

Oh so Lukas mavs should disregard their scariness being as he got their #. Ja is overrated. And teams will formulate a plan to shut him down. He just hasnt been worth the extra time till maybe ..now. If it continues to post season

It’s not even that complicated of a gameplan…you just have to pack the paint and make him hit 3s. They’re good enough to win a series in the playoffs, but I don’t see them beating the Suns or Warriors.

The grizzlies are better than dallas,it’s not about ja and luka,but the grizzlies have a lot of good players,luka has no help,no one is saying ja is better than luka,why you are acting like someone said that,all they said is that grizzlies are scary which is a fact.Dallas right now is a first round exit team at best.
Sharp Sevens
February 17, 2022 at 7:07 pm
The media will say anything stupid to get your mind off Luka and on Ja.
Crimi nals!

They’re the dark horse, but the scariest? Nah

It’s the suns by far

No, Suns are 48-10
Justin Harris
February 17, 2022 at 8:35 pm
That’s fantastic and I don’t think it’s a stretch to say the suns are the team to beat because they just made the finals. But in comparison on like which team has gotten tremendously better compared to last years and the team that has more momentum right now would be the grizzlies. I still do believe they are the underdog but don’t be surprised if they make the finals. Sorta kinda like that heat team that got in vs the lakers in the bubble season

but them griz struggle against slow pace team and in playoffs the pace slows so lets see

jao the Grizzlies???? Lady are you on drugs or something?? I know you media folks have to pump up Ja, because he is fun to watch and that at the end of the day makes you the ching chign. But that they are the scariest team in the west??!?!??! There is like three teams at least that can make short work of them in the playoffs. Be at least a little realistic…

Hello, Portland beat them last night. Don’t disrespect them. Try and keep up

We have no idea what this Grizzlies team looks like with the second highest scorer and best on ball defender in Dillion Brooks. The projected starting lineup has only played 7 games. Scary indeed

Brah mavs have blown them out twice. As a mavs fan, if we come up against them in the playoffs, i feel confident. This is the biggest cap i have seen. Did they hear about the suns.

The grizz hate is real for no reason

Grizzlies finally getting some shine and all you see is the hate from other teams that get media coverage all year. Let the Grizz have their moment in the sun. If Suns, Warriors, Mavs, and Denver are scarier, they will sweep the Grizz in the playoffs and everybody can listen to them get praise again all summer 🤷🏿♂️

No one will wanna play a healthy Grizzlies team in the NBA playoffs!

As a Grizzlies fan, we know the Suns and Warriors are the teams to beat in the west. I’m just happy the team have been exceeded expectations every year so far and has developed individually. Do I think we will win it all this year? Maybe…..but the future of winning it wall in the upcoming years is very promising

The Suns aren’t just 1st in the NBA
They are 1st in the NBA by 6.5 Games. They CLEAR the rest of the league. Only something MJ’s Bulls could do.
And this is hypocritical. The Grizzlies Playoff Experience is very very low compared to the Suns and Warriors
