Slowly thinking about going from Steven Adams is one of the strongest men in the NBA to Steven Adams is the strongest man in the NBA. Even when he doesn’t have initial position he just moves guys out of the way. – 9:03 PM

Steven Adams is second in the NBA in offensive rebounds per game with 4.19.
He already has six (!!!) offensive boards in this game. The Grizzlies’ 18 second-chance points are a big reason they lead. – 8:49 PM

If the Nets, Bucks, Bulls and Heat end up being the East’s final four, who would you like to face who in the second round?
I think I want Bucks-Heat and Nets-Bulls. Really build up that Bucks-Heat rivalry, and DeMar/LaVine trying to match buckets with the Nets would be awesome. – 8:48 PM

Nets’ Kyrie Irving likely to return on Wednesday in Indy. Couldn’t happen soon enough for Nets. Team trailing Grizzlies at half and trying to avoid dropping to third in the East.

What a finish to the half for Desmond Bane. And this is nothing new for the Grizzlies. Bane is a bucket. Averaging 17/4/2 on 41% from 3. Great with and without the ball. Good passer too. Bane and Ja Morant have been one of the NBA’s five best backcourts. Don’t sleep on Memphis. pic.twitter.com/fCeOaJNPPF – 8:45 PM

Patty Mills has been great for the Nets, but they might be better putting him back as a reserve. Let him get tons of second unit shots and put a guy who doesn’t need shots but will defend with Harden. – 8:45 PM

The NBA’s continuation call can be so inconsistent. Ever since they changed the rules to slow down Harden, it’s just not clear what should be continuation. – 8:44 PM

Grizzlies have six players in health and safety protocols and are still leading Nets by 9 on the road at halftime. Ja Morant (15pts) & Desmond Bane (13pts) are doing what they do. Jarrett Culver has 9 points in his 1st game back out of health and safety protocols.

Halftime: Grizzlies lead the Nets 56-47. Ja Morant and Desmond Bane are cooking. James Harden and Kevin Durant are, too. The difference is Memphis has a lead in bench points 22-11 twice as many rebounds. Patty Mills is scoreless, Memphis has 18 second-chance points to BK’s four. – 8:35 PM

Following up that Brooklyn win with *that* half was far too predictable.
Houston can do *one thing* consistently on offense (get to the rim) and it just so happens to be what the Sixers struggle with the most. This perimeter defense is so far away from being championship caliber – 8:08 PM

There’s a lot of game left in this one, obviously. And maybe I shouldn’t be surprised by this anymore.
But it’s still so impressive that the Grizzlies show up and play hard every single game, even with the odds stacked against them.
That was a heck of a first quarter. – 8:04 PM
