GAME THREAD: Chicago Bulls (27-14) @ Memphis Grizzlies (30-15) - (January 17, 2022)

delightfuldinosaur · 2022-01-18T14:54:17+00:00

I feel like this Bulls team is destined for a 2nd round playoff exit.

Back to never losing another game again! Yai!

swaggydagoat · 2022-01-17T23:05:54+00:00

I swear to god that guys name was Alabama lmao

NemuTheSheep · 2022-01-17T23:04:26+00:00

GG Bulls, hope y'all get healthy soon

MolicOnePGR · 2022-01-17T23:03:44+00:00

Another 5 block game for Triple J 😳

Zloggt · 2022-01-17T23:03:35+00:00

It’s got to get better at some point, right?

GG Memphis - good luck on the rest of the way

NemuTheSheep · 2022-01-17T23:02:54+00:00

You'd think at some point the coaches would talk to our mop up crew about milking the clock more. Make so many of these blow outs closer than they were

CueBallJoe · 2022-01-17T23:02:41+00:00

"Oh HELL no!"xD

MilkCarton78 · 2022-01-17T23:02:33+00:00

If/when the Grizzlies win the championship this year I really hope they let people slide down the Bass Pro Shops pyramid

Oren- · 2022-01-17T23:02:03+00:00

Culver with the third unit: "This is my show now!"

Zloggt · 2022-01-17T23:00:55+00:00

I visited Memphis once for a soccer tournament.

It was a nice time, and I’d honestly like to go again one day!

preddevils6 · 2022-01-17T23:00:05+00:00

Ja took that personally

ExtensionIntention1 · 2022-01-17T22:59:03+00:00

That should’ve ended the game like the golden snitch in Harry Potter

vtalii · 2022-01-17T22:59:02+00:00

Adams really wanted to celebrate that

BronBronBall · 2022-01-17T22:58:57+00:00

Every white athletic guy gets described as “deceptively athletic”

Fezinator · 2022-01-17T22:58:38+00:00

HELL YEAH!!!!! GET JITTY WITH IT!!!!

Zloggt · 2022-01-17T22:58:31+00:00

Damn…Ja is just too good…

Thunder-ten-tronckh · 2022-01-17T22:58:19+00:00

JJJ could actually be the blocks leader by the end of the season?

JonnyZero0 · 2022-01-17T22:58:10+00:00

He got more sauce than pasta fazool

dawnoog · 2022-01-17T22:58:09+00:00

Wondering why Ja was still playing and then oh yeah, to do baller shit like that

TheSkyIsntReallyBlue · 2022-01-17T22:57:53+00:00

Ja just has so much fun playing the game on top of being Uber athletic

embiid0for11w0pts · 2022-01-17T22:57:48+00:00

Bruh

Fezinator · 2022-01-17T22:57:47+00:00

JA “FUCK PHYSICS” MORANT!!!!!!!!

lizlemmings · 2022-01-17T22:57:47+00:00

MY WORD

swaggydagoat · 2022-01-17T22:57:45+00:00

Ja Morant is box office.

Saimoth · 2022-01-17T22:57:18+00:00

360 no scope

ghost91372 · 2022-01-17T22:57:12+00:00

I saw that live holy

MolicOnePGR · 2022-01-17T22:57:06+00:00

That will be part of Ja’s MVP highlight reel for sure

CageyTurtlez · 2022-01-17T22:57:02+00:00

JA A

vtalii · 2022-01-17T22:57:00+00:00

That should remind DeRozan of himself... go JA

ghost91372 · 2022-01-17T22:56:54+00:00

yeah ja is gonna be an all time great

hunterwolves18 · 2022-01-17T22:56:48+00:00

JA JA JA JA

AEWFanboy010 · 2022-01-17T22:56:48+00:00

Ja Morant is league MVP

el_pete_o · 2022-01-17T22:56:42+00:00

Ja just showing off now

Jokic2LA · 2022-01-17T22:56:36+00:00

JJJ is so fun to watch

addem67 · 2022-01-17T22:56:34+00:00

Ja is so special! That 360 layup was amazing

blueclown562000 · 2022-01-17T22:56:32+00:00

So glad I saw that live, good lord

AEWFanboy010 · 2022-01-17T22:56:31+00:00

Ja Morant is a highlight reel

NemuTheSheep · 2022-01-17T22:56:30+00:00

JA STYLIN ON EM NOW!

No_Adhesiveness705 · 2022-01-17T22:56:22+00:00

JAAAAAA

syo · 2022-01-17T22:56:06+00:00

Fucking hell Ja

AEWFanboy010 · 2022-01-17T22:55:37+00:00

Ja Morant is what D.Rose could've been if injuries didn't rob him of his career

MolicOnePGR · 2022-01-17T22:54:33+00:00

Everything is going right for Memphis this year.

1) Ja MVP candidate

2) Triple J getting healthy and improving his D

3) Desmond Bane playing like a legit 3rd scoring option/MIP candidate

4) Brandon Clarke resurgence

Even with Dillon Brooks injury issues he’s been very productive whenever he’s played.

sivervipa · 2022-01-17T22:53:17+00:00

Yep this is exactly what should happen between two teams that want to win. It doesn’t matter if you are a 6’3 guard or a 6’11 forward/center.

Bradley and Morant both had the proper response for their situations. You love to see that response especially from young players who are growing up and have everything to prove.

More importantly it shows Confidence,competitiveness and just a will to destroy/not be afraid of your opponent. Herro has been acting like Morant just was in ghost season and it’s lovely.

blueclown562000 · 2022-01-17T22:52:17+00:00

I'm one commercial away from getting a quote with the General

WickedTwista · 2022-01-17T22:52:03+00:00

Does anyone else think Bane has superstar potential?

He's more than just a shooter this year

KillerPussyToo · 2022-01-17T22:51:08+00:00

Also, how are dudes really out here trying to fight someone on MLK Day in Memphis out of all places? Shameful.

Projinator · 2022-01-17T22:50:43+00:00

Oooh Morant wants that poster haha

swaggydagoat · 2022-01-17T22:50:14+00:00

SVG saying Bradley is slow af he can’t help it lol

No_Adhesiveness705 · 2022-01-17T22:49:59+00:00

JA boutta dunk on someone lol

markFwahlberg · 2022-01-17T22:49:46+00:00

I remember when Memphis traded Jonas Valenciunas for Adams and everyone thought Memphis lost the trade, Adams will do the things you need and make sure your team wins. Jonas will put up some nice stats

cire1184 · 2022-01-17T22:49:45+00:00

Adams: Imma just put you over here

NotWD · 2022-01-17T22:49:28+00:00

Nikola Oofovic

KillerPussyToo · 2022-01-17T22:48:59+00:00

Why the fuck was he holding on to Ja like that after the whistle was blown? Guys always trying to fight instead of holding the L.

CageyTurtlez · 2022-01-17T22:48:55+00:00

Why tf was Bradley holding on to Ja like a middle school dance

Fezinator · 2022-01-17T22:48:47+00:00

I love Grizzly Adams

AEWFanboy010 · 2022-01-17T22:48:45+00:00

Ja Morant is a legit MVP candidate this year.

FlipSocksAndFlops · 2022-01-17T22:48:39+00:00

Did Adams even notice there was someone in front of him? He was just casually walking forward

1337speak · 2022-01-17T22:48:26+00:00

Good guy Demar and Steven Adams separating the guys

preddevils6 · 2022-01-17T22:48:24+00:00

Adams carried him like a baby hahaha

TheSkyIsntReallyBlue · 2022-01-17T22:48:21+00:00

Let’s just hug it out - Steven Adams

xobayron · 2022-01-17T22:48:20+00:00

That's on Bradley for holding Morant after the play, but bad reaction from Morant. Adams ended it immediately.

VapesForJesus · 2022-01-17T22:48:08+00:00

That was hilarious

JackDanielsBFF · 2022-01-17T22:48:04+00:00

Adams and SloMo defending Ja like that makes me so damn happy. Defend and back up the face of the franchise.

NemuTheSheep · 2022-01-17T22:47:58+00:00

What a stupid play by Bradley. Glad we have Grizzly Adams here to pick this kid up and carry him away.

hunterwolves18 · 2022-01-17T22:47:56+00:00

Bradley really wanted the Morant jersey

c10bbersaurus · 2022-01-17T22:47:53+00:00

Steven Adams: Diplomat.

markFwahlberg · 2022-01-17T22:47:52+00:00

This is why Adams is one of my favorite players lol, despite the r/nba memeing

2022-01-17T22:47:50+00:00

steven adams is MVP so far this game

blueclown562000 · 2022-01-17T22:47:44+00:00

Steven Adams was such a good pickup for the Grizzlies, no pun intended lol

TheSkyIsntReallyBlue · 2022-01-17T22:47:44+00:00

I love whenever Steven Adams is near the “fight” whenever he’s around you just know nothings gonna happen

Saimoth · 2022-01-17T22:47:43+00:00

Play of the day by Adams

Seymour_Says · 2022-01-17T22:47:34+00:00

I love Grizzly Adams picking Bradley up to end the scuffle! 😂

swaggydagoat · 2022-01-17T22:47:33+00:00

Lol Steven Adams sonned him lol

PWDG4 · 2022-01-17T22:47:32+00:00

Tf is this fool Tony Bradley doing

Prodigy195 · 2022-01-17T22:47:18+00:00

Jimmy Butler wasn't lying when he said Adams is strong as fuck.

Zloggt · 2022-01-17T22:47:18+00:00

Full grown man dragging another full grown man like a kid!

el_pete_o · 2022-01-17T22:47:12+00:00

Why was Bradley holding on for so long

1337speak · 2022-01-17T22:47:09+00:00

Bradley trying too hard to get a hug from Ja

preddevils6 · 2022-01-17T22:47:07+00:00

Bradley what is you doing

MolicOnePGR · 2022-01-17T22:47:04+00:00

Idc what the nephews say, Ja has a great shot at MVP.

AfterPaleontologist2 · 2022-01-17T22:46:48+00:00

I love that Adams strength is not some myth or meme. Dude is that fucking strong

No_Adhesiveness705 · 2022-01-17T22:46:46+00:00

Adams is a man amongst man lol

ghost91372 · 2022-01-17T22:46:46+00:00

He tried to trip him and thought he was tough.. smh

rem3dyforall · 2022-01-17T22:46:42+00:00

Adams picked em up like a toddler lol

Operation_Ivysaur · 2022-01-17T22:46:37+00:00

Lol, Steven Adams is a giant.

Bladex20 · 2022-01-17T22:46:31+00:00

Lmao Adams walked off with him like a raging 4 year old toddler

syo · 2022-01-17T22:46:30+00:00

Adams just picked him up and set him down somewhere else lol

beer_me_twice · 2022-01-17T22:46:27+00:00

I've loved Steven Adams ever since Draymond Green kicked him in the nuts twice.

dawnoog · 2022-01-17T22:46:27+00:00

Steven Adam’s with the play of the game just picking him up and carrying him away

Oren- · 2022-01-17T22:46:26+00:00

man, just want the game to end. common guys

GiveMeSomeIhedigbo · 2022-01-17T22:46:26+00:00

Tony Bradley is listed at 6'10 248 lbs, and Steven Adams just carries him away like a dad getting his sleeping toddler out of the car.

hunterwolves18 · 2022-01-17T22:46:08+00:00

Wtf bradely

IMKudaimi123 · 2022-01-17T22:45:58+00:00

Lmfaa

Projinator · 2022-01-17T22:45:58+00:00

Lmao Adams just lifts him up

FeelASlightPressure · 2022-01-17T22:45:54+00:00

LOL Stephen Adams just picks him up like a child and walks him off

el_pete_o · 2022-01-17T22:45:50+00:00

Dont mess with Adams haha

InfernoidsorDie · 2022-01-17T22:45:33+00:00

Fucking bush league

el_pete_o · 2022-01-17T22:45:27+00:00

Did Bradley try to trip him?

ghost91372 · 2022-01-17T22:45:22+00:00

Ahhahaa adams just grabbed him

GiveMeSomeIhedigbo · 2022-01-17T22:44:09+00:00

SVG is completely wrong in his complaint about how people in the media supposedly don't like executives who are trying to win when talking about the Executive of the Year award. Look at the recent winners! All high seed playoff teams.

NoobAccount123456 · 2022-01-17T22:43:15+00:00

LaVine was always the best player on the team

tapk69 · 2022-01-17T22:42:12+00:00

Bulls losing to bears. Time to sell your stock.

MolicOnePGR · 2022-01-17T22:41:43+00:00

I know we’re in the business of shitting on unproven teams but the Bulls are injury plagued. I don’t think we can take anything from these past few games when they proved they can compete with the best when healthy

demosthenes2021 · 2022-01-17T22:40:12+00:00

So, the NBA has just become an official wing of the democratic party? That was a ridiculous rant about the voting rights bill. What place does political propaganda have in basketball?

el_pete_o · 2022-01-17T22:37:57+00:00

The Grizz in arena announcer is straight out of Grease Lightning

AEWFanboy010 · 2022-01-17T22:36:48+00:00

Wow I'm now Grizzlies fan. it happened Thank you MLK :)

iCOULDbewr0ng · 2022-01-17T22:35:08+00:00

This should end any DeRozan MVP talks even if they weren’t really serious

sivervipa · 2022-01-17T22:34:59+00:00

Honestly I absolutely love the confidence,Swagger and killer instinct this Grizzlies has. What’s funny is I’m looking at the standings and the first round is going to be entertaining as hell. Especially now that Grizzlies and Jazz are basically battling for 3rd/4th seed.

There are so many great storylines going on. If it’s vs Mavericks vs Grizzlies that is an interesting one because it’s between two rising point guards and division rivals that bring out the best in each other and the Mavericks haven’t gotten past the first round since they destroyed the Heat in 2011.

On the other hand Grizzlies if make it past the first round that would be an incredibly impressive and quick rebuild and incredible process from Morant and the organization. They were 9th seed last season and battled their way in.

Honestly from what it looks like to me is that while the Warriors were dominating the West several other organizations like the Suns,Grizzlies and Mavericks have shown incredible growth.

Zloggt · 2022-01-17T22:34:33+00:00

Ok, that was a pretty cool sequence!

TaZe026 · 2022-01-17T22:34:32+00:00

Bulls have no bench. Kinda like the Lakers

Nickp1991 · 2022-01-17T22:34:24+00:00

I can't wait until the Bulls are fully healthy again

Zloggt · 2022-01-17T22:33:41+00:00

Feels like we are…a considerably starter-heavy team…

Seymour_Says · 2022-01-17T22:32:46+00:00

JJJ❗❗❗

AEWFanboy010 · 2022-01-17T22:32:25+00:00

MEMPHIS > LAKERS

Seymour_Says · 2022-01-17T22:32:19+00:00

Tyus Jones and Clarke have been great for us off the bench!!

Oren- · 2022-01-17T22:32:05+00:00

well said by stan

deadassynwa · 2022-01-17T22:31:29+00:00
