Mavs vs Grizzlies 2025 Play-in Game

[Street Hunger]

Mavericks against Grizzlies, Friday 9:30PM ET on ESPN

Winner gets the West Playoff 8 seed!

Predictions?

[tpols]

Stylistically I like the Mavs advantages over Grizzlies having a big man trio to shut the paint down, but Memphis at home in a do or die game makes me think the crowd gonna be nuts, Jas gonna flip out and bust out a bazooka celebration after some type of clutch bucket or dagger. :lol

Big game for the Wizards. If Memphis wins we get their 1st round pick in June from the Smart trade. If Memphis loses they keep their pick.

Morant is still listed as questionable and is a game time decision. He was quoted saying he was going to do everything in his power to play. He didn't practice at all on Thursday with the team.

[Hoon]

If Luka’s locked in, I think Mavs take it. But Grizzlies are scrappy, wouldn’t be shocked if it goes down to the last minute.

[Chick Stern]

If Luka’s locked in, I think Mavs take it.

[Real Men Wear Green]

I concede that if Doncic can lead Dallas to the playoffs he will have done something that no other top 10 player could lose have done.

[Im Still Ballin]

Big ball matchup!

[kabacho]

Ja's a crazy mofo

[Meticode]

If Morant is playing hurt on that ankle he's not showing it. His head was almost rim level on that out back dunk.

[kabacho]

What position would the Lakers be if the trade never happens?

[Mask the Embiid]

Memphis vs Okc. much better match up

okc v mem
hou v gsw
lal v min
lac v den

West > east as always


You are gonna see the giant chasm between Shai and every other young pg in the league when he dog walks ja...Ja who would in his own right probably dog walk every other pg in the league (thats not in their 30's + Fox,Luka)

If Pau Gasol invests all of his energy trying to stop Dirk Nowitzki I see Luka Doncic locking in. Tyson Chandler versus Marc Gasol will be a key matchup.

[Im Still Ballin]

League needs Dallas in the lottery so they can give them Harper or Flagg.

Texas would be happy to welcome Mr Flagg to either San Antonio or Dallas.


But I thought the league was giving him to New Orleans? ;)

[coin24]

Dallas trash:lol

[bison]

The doncic trade made people forget how bad the grimes/caleb martin trade was too. Wtf does Martin even do

[ImKobe]

Mavs perimeter D is so ass man but Memphis is such a low IQ team they might just find a way to throw the lead anyway with careless passes and terrible shot selection. Kidd needs to tighten up that rotation in the 2nd half.

[Im Still Ballin]

So... We 'gon 'pologize to The Big Guy? He crushed Lively and Gafford. Made a sammich outta 'em!

[Im Still Ballin]

Guys?

[RRR3]

ISB struggling with the temptation to make Edey threads rn.

Hello?

Even the remaining phony corporate Mavs fans left, had to have been in hell watching AD out there in the fourth simultaneously being slightly injured (again so soon), and also PRETENDING he’s way more hurt than he actually is.

AD literally already being broken again after coming back just a few games ago.

To be fair they foul the shit out of him and the refs don't even call it half the time. You have to pay attention to the game. Ja fouled AD after a made bucket - no call and then Edey in the 4th fouled the shit out of AD on a rebound. Also he came back too early from his injury which is why he was limping and ultimately had to come out of the game. Now he probably did exaggerate it and made it a spectacle because he doesn't want to get the 100% of the blame for what the Mavs did to their franchise, he's the one guys who shows up when he's on the court. Ultimately it's Kyrie's injury that f*cked this whole thing up for the Mavs because they 100% make the POs if that doesn't happen and are a contender on the level of Clippers/Lakers/GSW.

^Edey matchup was fun to watch against Day-To-Davis.
A real old school big, versus a mentally soft, low pain tolerance PG, put in the taffy stretcher at Wonka place.

Worst part about this one, was when AD and the other f@ggot Morant pretended to try to talk yang to one another. Both of em should have been spit on and told to shut the fu@k up.

AD is the opposite of soft. He gets injured but he always leaves it all out on the court man. You could tell he cared a lot about that game but sadly two of the starters on the Mavs were mentally checked out of the game from the jump. When you got teammates who don't even wanna be there it's tough to beat a team like the Grizzlies who clearly were desperate to get this win.

basically I suspected this as soon as it happened.

Mavs arent dog enough to withstand that Memphis grindhouse avalanche. Memphis puts away worse teams and loses to all contenders/elite teams.

[90sgoat]

Didn't watch but figure this is one of the patented AD games where he gets 40, but most of the points were from simple play finishing and very few from hard shots at the right times.
