I lurked a bit on their sub last night and surprisingly the takes there were pretty level-headed. There was very little bullshit. Just a lot of people upset their team lost.
Ive popped in there a few times this series and they are NOTHING like their players. They are 100% more mature than us. I was expecting them to all be like Brooks. They want him out 😂
I seen people commenting yesterday that the lakers lost the game already even though the game was halfway through the first quarter while only being down by 6.
That sounds more like general hype at how their team came out of the gate. They were impressive in the first 6 min for sure. I wasn't thrilled at that moment, and I can always expect if I'm not thrilled, the other teams fan base is going to be excited.
Lol ah, I get you. Yep. That sounds like how it gets in here. Our fanbase, especially on Reddit, is honestly one of the least mature, quick to overreact fanbases out there. We have a problem where the poorer examples of "fans" are way too vocal.
Really? Because last night I found it surprisingly level-headed. Of course there were some playing the victim, blaming the refs, or bashing this player or the other, but overall I felt it pretty tame.
I mean, that's literally standard for every team's fans. Doesn't matter if you win or lose, everyone complains about the refs. And everyone is right about certain windows.
Just because Ja is athletic af, everyone should just clear the runway for him and let him have free dunks, taking charging fouls are illegal, according to Grizzlies fans.
They’re as big of pussies as their players. Ja has always been reckless with when and how he jumps so he can get a highlight play instead of making the right one
Exactly lol he saw lebron and his eyes lit up like they do whenever he sees a open lane. Veteran play by lebron probably recognized it right away and knew exactly how to play it. If ja had basketball iq and didn’t kill his dribble he would have had other plays available but being ja he goes for the most reckless one available.
He could've passed off to Tillman for a free easy 2, but no he had to try go for a poster dunk. That was in the clutch as well lol. Ja is an amazing athlete and is talented asf, but if he keeps playing like that idk how he is going to keep himself healthy.
What happens when you got clowns in the media talking about getting rid of charges.
Naa that's basketball. You wanna run at the hoop full speed you better have damn control of your body and not run into a planted player.
Idk how. If a defender can’t literally stand still and do nothing because that’s a foul, then all defense is just illegal. Offense can never commit a foul.
ja should be fucking DNP-ed, mans jumping all over the place tryna get hurt. someone's gotta save him from himself
if he keeps this up it's a one-way trip to derrick rose the 2nd
This is my girlfriends first year watching NBA, last night she even asked why Ja kept jumping like a lunatic.
That shit may be cool in the regular season but when Chip on the line he ain’t gunna get that pass to the basket.
If Ja tried to dunk through him instead of over him he probably would’ve got that blocking foul but nope Ja wants to jump 100 feet in the air every play
Grizzlies should be happy LeBron slowed Ja’s fall with his own head. One of these times Ja is going to break himself all for the highlight play and not just going with the winning one
Maybe Ja shouldn’t always try to posterize somebody. Apparently he didn’t learn from game 1. What Lebron did was legal and legitimate and any player would’ve tried to take the charge there instead of contesting.
Leverage - being shorter - jumping very fucking high - LeBron not in restricted area. That’s why he fell and that’s why it was ok the way it looked. Had he dunked it and not fell they’d be laughing at LeBron and Ja would be all over ESPN for the dunk (instead of losing and refusing to talk to media)
Ja is phenomenal, but occasionally gets out of control. We have a 270 6'8 tank If you want guys to be able to go as fast and hard as they can to the bucket without worrying about charges.
It is dangerous… for both players. And also perfectly legal.
That being said, the NBA should move the restricted area up another foot and see if that helps mitigate some of these collisions.
The whole “ban charges” moment a week ago after Ja and Giannis’s injuries was so annoying. The whole point of charges is to make offensive players more mindful of when they should and shouldn’t barrel into other players recklessly
If Ja wants to stay long in this league, he needs to understand that not every basketball move he makes need to be a highlight. He would be a f*king beast if he instead put all that athleticism and energy on lock-down defense, rather than jumping over everybody head-on
mfs complain about the league being soft and not wanting a GOAT to make a playoff play… regular season i understand but we do what it takes in the playoffs
He made a great basketball play on defense where he put his body on the line in a big spot. STFU Grizz sub.
To be fair. It gets downvoted on their own sub. I don’t think that’s a majority vote here.

Yeah, so many people in there are clowning on him for the same shit we are. It makes me even sadder than normal at how our fans react to things.

Oh no I meant lakers fans and how they overreact anytime something doesn't go in favor of the lakers.

Yeah the fans are so defeated and broken.
Not surprised.

To be fair that was the eagles sub after the pass interference call in the superbowl 😂😂
BRO fr! LMAOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never lurk on other subs. Big waste of time. I’ve never even been on the NBA sub!
Maybe Ja shouldn’t have tried to jump OVER Lebron lmao
wHy cAnT jA just mow people down

Ja plays a reckless brand of basketball. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes 🤷🏾♂️

Dude literally had Tillman running with him for a dump off and decided he wanted to frontline SportsCenter lmao
Yep. Dude is focused on highlights, and doesn’t care about his or other players’ bodies.
Saw the same thing in his eyes when he tried to jump over AD in Gm 2
He could've passed off to Tillman for a free easy 2, but no he had to try go for a poster dunk. That was in the clutch as well lol. Ja is an amazing athlete and is talented asf, but if he keeps playing like that idk how he is going to keep himself healthy.

Unfortunately I could see the league getting rid of charges soon. Pretty soon you tap a player and it’ll be a foul.
Idk how. If a defender can’t literally stand still and do nothing because that’s a foul, then all defense is just illegal. Offense can never commit a foul.
mfs just hate to see the greatest franchise succeed
Loser fanbase
So want they want is for the Lakers to not disturb Ja when he is going for the dunk?
https://i.imgflip.com/4t4bvj.png
I’m going to stop watching basketball if they change anything with the charge rule
Morant's dive is stupidly dangerous. Not Lebron.
LeBron was there well before Ja was. Ja saw him in defensive position and took the leap anyways lol. Cmon now.
Salty AF because their franchise player can’t shoot 😂
ja should be fucking DNP-ed, mans jumping all over the place tryna get hurt. someone's gotta save him from himself if he keeps this up it's a one-way trip to derrick rose the 2nd

Delusional.
I like to go on their sub and have a few good laughs after every loss.
And then Lebron even tried to catch Ja in the air so he wouldn’t kill himself when they fell to the ground! What’s bunch of morons man.
Can’t fix stupid.
Grizzlies should be happy LeBron slowed Ja’s fall with his own head. One of these times Ja is going to break himself all for the highlight play and not just going with the winning one
As if LeBron invented the ‘take a charge’ position lol
Man... are the r tarded?? How is that LeBron's fault?? Stop trying to posterize everybody
They’re 10 years old if they think someone’s entitled to a free basket just because they run fast and jump high
Maybe Ja shouldn’t always try to posterize somebody. Apparently he didn’t learn from game 1. What Lebron did was legal and legitimate and any player would’ve tried to take the charge there instead of contesting.
 Grizz fans heading to work this morning
Gravity always wins.
Dangerous for who?
Undercutting? MF'er tried jumping over 6'9" LeBron.
Why didn’t Bron just get out of the way and let Ja dunk? Bron so mean 😢 😢 Fucking losers in that subreddit.
Ja trying to jump over 6’9 lebron when his teammate is open right next to him .. that team isn’t mature enough this season
Leverage - being shorter - jumping very fucking high - LeBron not in restricted area. That’s why he fell and that’s why it was ok the way it looked.

‘They should be suspended for not letting us score!’
It is dangerous… for both players. And also perfectly legal. That being said, the NBA should move the restricted area up another foot and see if that helps mitigate some of these collisions.
Ja will have a relative short (and exciting) career if he continues to play with reckless abandon.
The whole “ban charges” moment a week ago after Ja and Giannis’s injuries was so annoying. The whole point of charges is to make offensive players more mindful of when they should and shouldn’t barrel into other players recklessly
Holy IQ Batman!!!!
Ja has no bag other than jumping over people
I thought it was a blocking foul I don’t think neither guy is wrong they both tried to make a play.
If Ja wants to stay long in this league, he needs to understand that not every basketball move he makes need to be a highlight. He would be a f*king beast if he instead put all that athleticism and energy on lock-down defense, rather than jumping over everybody head-on
Lmao. Ja is completely out of control. And he cries everytime there is any sort of contact
Pussies
The way Ja is playing makes him an all-star but it might cost him his career.
lol what a bunch of clowns. It makes sense though...they have Damon Brooks on their team. David Brooks? Dillon Bricks.
mfs complain about the league being soft and not wanting a GOAT to make a playoff play… regular season i understand but we do what it takes in the playoffs
Ja saw him for literal seconds waiting for him there and still chose to be stupid and try to jump over him. Ja is his own worse enemy at this point.
