I didn't watch the game but again just looking at the stats this just seems like a bad shooting night for our team. We will bounce back next game
 
are you gonna clown Ja like you did KAT or do you just have a hate boner for the greatest shooting big of all time
clown Ja for what? he still had a solid game today (34 points 10 Assists 9 Rebounds) despite the loss, the missed game-winning shot and the dancing and was responsible for keeping them in the game to being with when the Warriors almost pulled away with a double digit lead in the 4th Quarter.

and the screenshot you included was him celebrating Bane's 3 over Curry, would have looked way worse if Bane missed that shot (also couldn't hit shots today)

https://streamable.com/1u9jas

and I shouldn't have to mention this over and over but saying KAT as the "greatest shooting of all time" is definitely not funny anymore . KAT's been in the playoffs only twice in his 6 yr career and in this past series was pretty desperate to shed his 'soft' reputation he's been getting from guys like Jimmy Butler, etc.

Unfortunately he only showed up for half the series and went awol the other games (especially in Game 6 with his questionable shot selection in the clutch) along with Dlo, while Minnesota had to essentially rely on 2nd yr Anthony Edwards , to even keep the series competitive when it should be said 'vets' in KAT and Dlo leading the way while Edwards should still be trying to a guy trying to learn the ins and outs of the NBA . Not to mention 3 choked double digit leads in the Timberwolves in their last 3 losses w/ a lack of experience outside of Pat Bev, with sense of urgency from said 'leader' in KAT. Should be pretty clear who leads Minnesota in the coming seasons

Ja was terrible in the 1st Round in Game 4/6 and shooting from 3 (but otherwise did everything else pretty well in terms of orchestrating the offense) but he still was able to keep a decent reputation thanks to winning the series and having other teammates (Desmond Bane and former T-Wolf Tyus Jones) stepping up big time. And as long as you keep winning, you won't get clowned as hard as if you lose.

Cope Apparently you can’t celebrate after hitting a big three in the 4th but can after your teammate (Keep in mind he began dancing before Bane even shot) shoots in the 1st. Got his sick out your mouth
Lol imagine clowning KAT for bad efficiency when Ja went 14/31.
Oh no KAT couldn’t carry a team with Treveon Graham as a starter to the playoffs not to mention he outplayed butler in the playoffs despite being 22 in his first playoffs
Lol getting carried by the refs and Desmond bane doesn’t give you a license to talk shit cope harder dick muncher

14/31 (45.1%) is "inefficient shooting" lmao? do you need players to shoot 100% to be considered good shooting?

KAT btw shot 6/19 (0/3 from 3) in Game 6, but I haven't you call that a "bad" shooting performance at all when the game ended a few days ago on what should have been a Game 7 to force a do-or-die after being up double digits in the 4th. Regardless of how refs have been calling games in favor of Memphis you still had multiple chances to win the game and take the lead throughout the entire series and still couldn't capitalize
:kayneshrug:

I'd be dancing too if i were him considering that he came from a seldom known DIV I team (high draft) and nearly led a team that was intentionally trying to rebuild/tank to the play-ins/playoffs (after shipping out Mike Conley and Marc Gasol just months prior) literally as soon as he stepped on the floor for the team and made them competitive almost right away as the clear cut leader of the team.

As long as Ja keeps performing (and also winning), there's nothing to hate against him unless you're playing against him in the playoffs. This series is far from over and he'll get a few more chances to redeem himself

Get that dick out of your mouth coming from a low ranked school doesn’t have anything to do with his performance and no he hasn’t been performing

Nor has he been winning

Ja celebrating then losing vs KAT celebrating then losing

Memphis should have won that, the final minute was a mess offensively. Jackson Jr is gonna have a good series, GS simply lacks the size and if he continues to avoid accumulating fouls don’t really see him having a bad game. It looks like they gonna keep daring Ja to shoot, he’s an improved shooter over last year can’t really bank on him missing too many wide open 3s. Tho Dillon Bricks could build a house with all the bricks he was throwing up.

:kobeha:
Man Celtics fans don’t know how lucky their team is that they don’t have to deal with Middleton, still the Bucks continue to prove they are the best team in the East.

Bucks in 6-7.
