  9. Grizz win. Gotta give it to Houston tho, now I get how they beat Boston lol they hustled.

  11. Of course Rockets makes things difficult for us but it’s a challenge necessary to overcome.

  12. Stressful at times but some great performances and I mean a great team performance. Who has a bench as deep as us?

  13. Have we reached the promised land of snack cracking it into the rotation ?! I think so!

  17. Great win, glad to get that Dub. Rebounding was sad to watch- way too many offensive second chances given away.

    JUUUNNNIIIOOOORRR

  19. BIG game for the big 3 – Bane amazing 4Q, Ja return, and JJJ playing his best basketball ever

  20. Petey is awesome. Last game, “Hold my beer,” this game he flips off Skip with, “IT’S A PARADE INSIDE MY CITY YEEEEEAAAAAAAH!”

    And Kaari about to steal the internet with her, “It’s a parade inside my city, yeah!”

  21. Skip bayless: JA MORANT HAS RECRUITED HIS 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER INTO A THUG CRIMINAL GANG

  28. Guys a clown for the windmill at the end but hey I’ll let it slide they’re a tanking team lol. Got the W so no complaints haha

  29. World Breaker Jaren – dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same.

    These Snack minutes are nice.

  32. I would prefer to stay the 2 seed over getting 1 in my opinion. Kings in 2nd round is an easier match up in my opinion

  33. I’m gonna be real honest, the team held it down fine without Ja. How loud the crowd would get when he stood to check in made me sad for the rest of the team and how hard they continued to work despite his absence.

    Ja’s great, I’m so happy he’s back, but I feel like there is something to re-earn (didn’t expect to feel that way). He doesn’t deserve more minutes than anyone else. I guess Taylor managed that well tbh.

    I am too emotionally invested in this goddamn team.
