Grizz beat the poo outta the Warriors

Maybe not lose on purpose, but they certainly didn’t give their best effort. Warriors didn’t even give their 70% effort. They took that game off.
That’s not what you said though. You insinuated they lost on purpose so the owners could make more money in game 6. Which is just stupid

That’s one reason I can’t get into the NBA. One game, a team will win by 30, the next game, the other team will win by 20-30. It’s all about who shows up for each game. Warriors chose not to show up last night and save everything for Game 6 back at home.
I know what makes more money
Locking in a trip to the Conference finals and at least another 3 home games.

yeah college baseball or any sport is nothing like that. Especially in the college World Series last year.
The CWS finals were nothing like that. We dominated the whole series except for the first inning of Game 1 because McLeod melted down and allowed 7 runs. We outscored them the remaining 8 innings of that game and blew them out the others. Vandy wouldn’t have even been there except for Covid, so we throttled an inferior team like we should’ve.
I simply made a statement
I didn’t insinuate anything in my first post. The warriors did not try to win that game last night, but they didn’t intentionally try to lose it. Their bosses didn’t want them to win anyway. Everyone involved got what they wanted last night. Grizz got a win, Warriors got rest, owners get more money.

This season, baseball beat Missouri 13-4 in Game 1, then lost 19-8 the next night.
College baseball (really baseball in general) can have the same up/down series like the NBA was his point. The NHL can too.
College basketball and the NFL can have the same thing too. A team wins a game early in the season, then turns around and loses to that same team 3 weeks later or in the tournament/playoffs.
It's the whole reason those sports play multiple games, so it's not just one bad night determining what happens.
Really... College football is kind of the outlier in terms of that (though even that is changing somewhat with conference championship games and playoffs).
There's a former NBA ref that's on record for showing how he knew what games to bet on by the way the league was showing them who to focus on for fouls prior to the game
Clowns on here sound like Barkley's dubmass. The Grizz have led the majority of this series and not closed out games. The Warriors are experienced closers. The Warriors better not "let the Grizz win" or "not try to win" too much longer at their old NBA-ages, because the Grizzlies are going to beat their tail for the foreseeable future and have more money and assets to do it with. I'm glad Steph let the Grizz keep him out of the playoffs last year too. Definitely fits the profile of a guy who is an insane competitor with limited effective years left. You always want that extra game to risk injury when you are competing for championships***
Don’t worry. The grizzlies won by 39 without him after losing 3 of the last four with him, even though the warriors were giving maximum effort during the 39 point loss.**
They were 20-5 this season without Ja Morant so it’s not really something unusual to play well without him.
25 offensive rebounds and what felt like a dozen misses in the paint. Lot of missed opportunities tonight.
Yeah you can't beat warriors giving them second and third chances
Great overachieving season though. Grizz going to be wrecking the West next 5+ years.
Celtics fan rest of way now. Those dudes play hard.

I'm usually somewhat of a Boston sports hater, but man Tatum is so fun to watch. Dude is smooth.
Because the Warriors were well rested
And the grizz were tired.
Disappointing end to a good season. Hope Ja gets healthy and learns to play without sacrificing his body as often.

They rested during game 5
Or do believe the grizz were able to beat them by 39 without Ja even though they were giving max effort? Veteran experience beat youthful talent.

They beat GS by 39 because they scored a ton of points off of turnovers. Something they didn’t do most of the series. And again, the Grizzlies were 20-5 in the regular season without Ja and they beat some really good teams.
Golden State did not play well at all the entire series except for game 3 and they are way too careless with the ball which is odd with them being such a veteran team. The Grizzlies choked away game 4 and had a good chance of taking game 1. A major learning experience for an extremely young team.
If Phoenix gets past Dallas they will smash Golden States head in. It will not be pretty.

I’m sorry the grizz lost too
No one losses by 39 in the NBA, or ever goes down by 55, without not trying. They knew they had the series locked up and could afford to coast for a game. The playoffs are a marathon. Veteran teams know how to manage it. Why did the grizz score so many points off turnovers in game 5? Which you pointed out they hadn’t done in other games. Because the warriors were conserving energy, aka resting.

Just can’t let it go, can you?
It amazes me how little self-awareness some of you people have.
They obviously wanted to save energy by losing and being forced to play an extra game in the series, because when you're an aging team nothing is better than playing 6 games when you could have won in 5 and rested up even more before the WCF!
Wait, what are we talking about again?

Hello Pot
But you make a good point this time. I’ll give it a rest…like the warriors in game 5.
