The more I think about it, the more sense starting GPII makes. He’s by far the Warriors’ best defender on Ja Morant. Fresh off that big Game 5 vs. Denver, GPII could be Golden State’s most important player this series not named Draymond, Steph or Klay. – 2:09 PM

These are the type of careless turnovers that’ll ignite Ja Morant on the fastbreak and boost a Memphis offense that isn’t great in the halfcourt. The Warriors ability/inability to avoid these live ball mistakes could define the series. pic.twitter.com/oRQdiqErX3 – 12:30 PM

Ja Morant last night:
17 PTS
8 REB
11 AST
Morant averaged 21.5 PPG, 8.7 RPG, and 10.5 APG in the First Round.
He’s just the second player in NBA history to average at least 20 PPG, 8 RPG, and 10 APG in a playoff series lasting six or more games (Magic Johnson, 2x). pic.twitter.com/XuPkp4cSA7 – 10:11 AM

The Grizzlies will face the Splash Brothers. They’ve been regarded as the league’s best backcourt for a while.
I asked Ja Morant & Desmond Bane what people need to know about the Grizzlies’ backcourt:
Ja: “We feel like we’re one of the best backcourts in the league as well.” – 12:44 AM

What is Ja Morant and Desmond Bane like as a backcourt?

Ja Morant said he is tired and drained. Physically and mentally this series was a battle. Every game was a dogfight where they had to come in locked in and bring the energy from the start. – 12:41 AM

That man standing behind Ja Morant during that walkoff interview, staring into the camera behind dark shades…yeah, that was Ja’s first hater. Tee Morant spoke to @PostSports earlier this year about how Ja finally made him sit back & just enjoy the show. washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/02… – 12:10 AM

Desmond Bane deserves his national respect after that series. He just shot 50-48-90 on 24 points per game against a legit defense that made it a focal point to slow him down later in the series. He’ll be playing in Memphis alongside Ja Morant for a long time. He was the MVP. – 12:00 AM

The Grizzlies locker room is all screams and celebration. Ja Morant just griddy’d while getting a bunch of pats on the back. Jaren Jackson Jr. got a bunch of loud yells from his teammates on his way into the locker room. – 11:56 PM

Timberwolves deserved to lose. So did the Grizzlies. My 5% OVER flops due to Ja Morant’s bewildering lack of aggression for most of this one. 2Q was a killer. – 11:48 PM

The Timberwolves have gone with Pat Bev on Desmond Bane and they’re still loading up when Ja Morant drives the ball. I mean, Dillon Brooks is probably getting the easiest shots on the perimeter right now. All about makes and misses. He’s 7 of 16 and leads Memphis with 17 points. – 10:49 PM

Bad news: It was not a good half for Ja Morant, and the Grizzlies are losing or even in the stats that typically indicate “Memphis basketball” — PITP, turnovers, fastbreak, FGA
Good news: Only down 3 with Edwards going nuts. – 10:17 PM

Pretty good quarter by the Grizzlies. Jackson with just one foul — wing players attacking well. Need Ja Morant to stay in downhill attack mode and Edwards to miss a couple shots. – 9:43 PM

Minnesota made a concerted effort to get Ja Morant switched onto Anthony Edwards multiple possessions in a row to close that 1Q (and Edwards went on a heater as a result). That’s a matchup Grizzlies have to figure out how to avoid. – 9:42 PM

Did you notice that things seemed to be difficult for Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. in the first round?
Now, says @David Thorpe, let’s consider what Steven Adams has been doing to help those two all season. truehoop.com/p/we-dont-need… – 2:41 PM
