If Grant Hill were food, he'd be a mayo sandwich on Wonder Bread, with vanilla ice milk for dessert.
What a complete bore.

 

Kerr did not accompany the Warriors to Memphis. No positives reported in the traveling party.

That’s one hell of a knee squeeze to bruise a bone so badly he can’t play for the rest of the playoffs. Remind me not to shake Poole’s hand.

 

There’s another video going around of an earlier play where he jumps high and lands awkwardly, like he jams his leg…the sort of play that leaves a bruise. Hmmm.

 

I noticed in the previous game he was wearing a mask; made me think then that he knew he’d been exposed but was still at that time testing negative.

 

A large aspect of Morant's game - like Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook - is going as fast as he can and attacking the rim, putting his body at risk in the process. It's part of what makes him so thrilling to watch, but kind of like a scrambling QB, I think he's going to need to develop other aspects of his game to avoid further injuries in the future.

 

So you’re saying Poole won’t be the next Iron Fist?

 

He also ran into Klay and then limped afterward.

And on the play with Poole he appears to plant and twist his knee very awkwardly a few seconds before Poole touched him.

 

“And some people just steer clear of that whole hornet’s nest. I’ll stick with just plain white bread thank you very much, maybe with a…”

“Glass of water on the side for dippin’!”

 

Was actually fairly concerned at halftime last night, because the Mavs couldn't stop hitting 3s. Then the Suns just eviscerated Dallas in the third quarter and in six minutes it was over. No idea if that game translates to Dallas, where the Suns were just not good over two games in this series. Crowder going out with a potential shoulder injury in garbage time is concerning. Nice adjustments by Monty to park Payne on the bench and use Biyambo rather than McGee to try to defend Luka, who by the way, can just keep shooting contested 3s as far as I'm concerned.

If the Suns are a championship team, they'll close this out on Thursday night. That's the sort of game a championship team wins.
