They are missing wide open 3s, and GS is playing the way you would expect.

Gasol seems to have finally started playing.

18. Not impossible but need a perfect quarter. Was close to turning it off at 27.

Good tweet:

Peter Edmiston @peteredmiston The idealized Jeff Green so many thought the Grizzlies would get would indeed be perfect in this series. Sadly, the actual Jeff Green is not



Zach Randolph has been very uneven, and mostly bad.

So Trevas,

Anything interesting on Raw tonight?

Peter Edmiston is right with that tweet. Barkley mentioned a similar thing on the pre game show.

If the Grizz's Game 4 history holds as you posted earlier, we may be seeing an all-Cali WCF.

Hopefully we can reverse that trend and get a Game 5 regrouped win. Man, clunker tonight with a really juiced crowd on hand.

Me neither, but if this game hadn't started so late tonight, I might have been switching over quite a few times.

grizz D played better in the second half but the offense played worse

Be interesting to see Game 5. Do the Warriors have their mojo back or will the Grizz make some adjustments and get better contributions from Randolph, Lee, and the bench? I keep hoping that Carter makes an offensive impact in at least one game by hitting some 3s but he's not done it yet. And Green is wildly inconsistent.

Z Bo???

Glad to see the good start.

It seems like when grizz fall behind early to them, they stay behind.

How the **** was that not a foul on Curry on the defensive end?

That was a horrible way to end the quarter, but right now Steph is making a lot.


I have a feeling that Zach and Marc will combine for less than 5 FT's tonight, unless the game gets out of hand, then they will get to the line.

And on cue as Joerger says they are taking too many jump shots, Vinsanity takes two contested 3-point jump shots.

Edit: Nice rebound and put back Vince.

I feel like GS could pull away in these next 4-6 minutes to a 10-12 point lead that Memphis never reduces past 5-7 points . Memphis has to stay close, at least.

Is Golden State shooting into this hoop on their end?

Was just about to say the same thing Iowa. They need to keep this thing in the 5 point range or so by halftime.

Only down 8 at half.

And Klay Thompson isn't even shooting well.

The Grizzlies are missing too many shots. They are giving up a lot of fast break points because Golden State isn't ever having to take it out underneath.

when Grizzlies make shots, they can play with them, and defeat them. If they aren't, they can't keep it close.



And them missing easy and contested baskets has been a common theme of all their losses.

From up 13 to down 17. A 30 point swing.

Grizz have to make baskets.
Might as well go to bed now.

This is exactly what I did. But agree 100%, need to make shots, stay ahead or at least keep pace and have a chance at the end.

This same refrain seems to play out every year: lack of consistent outside shooting, lack of a guy that can on any night go for 25 to 30+ pts, Mike Conley beat the eff up every year in the playoffs, and long scoring droughts that directly correspond to big leads being stretched by the other team or the Grizz failing to extend a lead while the other team is in a drought themselves.

I also think for this team that the defensive intensity is keyed by the offensive success. If they see some of their shots go in, they seem to ratchet it up defensively (and it helps to set up the half court defense). When they miss shots or have turnovers, they get frustrated defensively and give up plays/points.

Pathetic that Z-bo had 9 points two minutes into the game and ended up with 13 on the night.

Interesting read on the severity of Conley's injuries.



quote:
"The pain was excruciating, to be honest," Conley said. "But it was interesting because my pain wasn't necessarily up [near my eye]. It was my mouth and my jaw and my teeth. I couldn't feel any of my teeth or the back side of my jaw. ...

"That night, I was throwing up," Conley said. "And every time I threw upbecause when you do it, you can't really control thisI'd have to open my mouth. It would just kill me because I couldn't really open my mouth. Then, all of a sudden, blood would come out of my nose and I was like: I think I'm dying.
