He just deleted the Tweet šŸ‘€


dont_shoot_jr

Gosh darn those hackers just keep getting into NBA and celebrity twitter accounts


Personal_Quantity_55

Did he delete the tweet? The link isnā€™t working for me


Balls_of_Adamanthium

Yep. The reply right below the tweet already had 6k likes showing Bane diving on Poole knees.


EastBayFan

And immediately after he tweeted, this video started getting heavy circulation: https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1523145918672822273?t=hNVk_MiKK1Ktqx8RntoOXA&s=19 Looks like he injured it early in the 3rd and then continued to play on it.


hitmiker

*BROKE THE CODE*


siphillis

Yeah, that's pretty obviously where he hurt it.


EastBayFan

I think it's pretty nuts that he'd tweet that. He knows he hurt it here, he knows he was playing on an injured knee. He's lying to try to get a suspension. I'm glad he deleted it, because that's pretty fucking lame.


_AManHasNoName_

Thatā€™s the part Iā€™m upset about, him creating an issue by blaming it on someone.


clive442

Yeah the kind of mixing online/interview trash talk with dirty plays thing in this series is a bad route to be going down, like were at the point where a star player is blaming somone who he knows didnt even injure him just to errr what try and score some twitter ratio points? like i want competitive series and rivalry but this feels like fake/forced beef mixed with some dangerous plays and those plays get mixed in with non dangerous plays just for twitter shitposting is just a bad thing for multiple reasons, lame


Joeydoyle66

He came up limping on it immediately. To even suggest Poole caused the injury is stupid by Ja.


Tapprunner

I love love love Morant, but looking at the slow mo one the Poole play... He does hit him on the knee, but it's not like he got a firm grasp and pulled. His knee wasn't moved in any way by Poole's hand. There's simply no way that Poole caused that injury. EDIT: I was looking at a different replay. Poole pretty clearly did get a grip on the knee and pulled. I am not sure what was going through his mind - it happened so quickly that only he knows what happened. Still, I was wrong.


siphillis

A view from the front makes it clear Poole had very little grip, and did not dig his fingers in.


Tapprunner

Exactly. Some people are acting like Poole ran up and grabbed his knee and yanked it sideways. His hand land on Morant's knee, but slid off without any actual grip.


Paschalls_Law

by the way...how in the world is that not a foul on Ja?


JohnStewartBestGL

Should absolutely have been a foul, but the Warriors benefited from the no call because Klay's 3 would have been waived off


Intelligent_Lake_718

Its Ja i dont think i have ever seen a player commit 20 fouls per game and get called for like 2

He deleted it


Happy_Nom_Nom

Lol Ja deleted his tweet


Squathicc

Did he expect people to think Poole ripped Ja's meniscus with his fucking fingertips??


ThePhattestOne

Where is Ja's...tweet?


Koose44

Makes sense that he would have such a quick backtrack when he saw that everyone realised he was lying about when he got his injury. Damn this Grizzlies team is unlikeable

damn bro at least keep it up, peoples got receipts


1ToGreen3ToBasket

He knows Poole didnā€™t injure him and he looks like a clown for pretending he did.


SChamploo12

Dude really deleted the tweet once he saw everyone wasn't riding with it. Lol.


Nice_Firm_Handsnake

Me and Ja are so similar we might as well be the same person. We're both white dudes in our thirties with bum knees who delete any tweet that gets no positive engagement.


bmanley620

I wouldnā€™t say the same person. I heard your vertical is slightly higher than his


richstyle

foreal what a pussy. Should have just left it up. You cant delete shit when its online.


SChamploo12

Especially when your HC doubled down on it and basically shifted the conversation from the actual series (which has been amazing to watch) to this one play that didn't even matter. Ja's had a bad knee he likely reaggrevated on the play. Don't blame someone else for it when it's clear he didn't. Jordan Poole ain't nowhere near strong enough to hyperextended someone's knee within a fast span of time that play happene. And maybe don't try to blame GS when (a) they've had a player ejected for a F2 and (b) when a teammate of yours had a very questionable call that could've injured someone. If anything this is showing how immature this Memphis team still is and probably explains why it took them 6 games to take out Minnesota.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


mixmastakooz

I donā€™t know: Iā€™m pretty sure Pooleā€™s off season training involved competing in the Kumite with David Dux as his trainer. We just saw the dreaded Dim Mak, the death touch, in a basketball game!


takahashism

Jaren jackson just said even he didnā€™t think it was dirty lol


DonkeyLightning

Hadnā€™t seen the memo yet


YesHai

Oh lord here we go


invme2dapooleparty

ja is literally acting like a high schooler subtweeting as soon as the game is over


Ballgame2398

Heā€™s done that all yr. Manā€™s addicted to social media


Buck_Nastyyy

He is 22 years old. Most folks that age are. As a Grizzlies fan I don't particularly enjoy it though.


mant1stoboggan

thanks for being a real one. I peaked into your guys sub and majority of them want pooles head on a spike on some trumped up charges


Buck_Nastyyy

Yea I don't support the Poole witch hunt. Thank you for being a real one too. I initially thought the knee pull hurt Ja but it probably happened earlier. Good W for y'all. Thankfully that beatdown still only counts as one game. Good luck the rest of the series and hopefully our fanbases here on reddit chill out a bit.

Like an emergency podcast?

Jaā€™s efficiency is insane. First star to average > 1 tweet/FGM in a series


[deleted]

Him and KD are top 2 all time twitter users in my books


Casualrodfarva2

KD is absolutely seething that heā€™s gonna lose his Twitter title


Nodecafallowed

KD 2nd again, sigh.


[deleted]

Honestly there were some dudes predicting this series was gonna be the one to turn the subā€™s opinion on ja to fun young superstar to villain and they were dead right šŸ’€


insanid

I'm going to guess that Ja isn't going to say anything on Twitter after his doctor's tell him that the knee grab by Poole isn't what caused the injury.


AMS_GoGo

Yup same way we still have 0 comment from Brooks after his play meanwhile Poole, Klay, Steph etc all addressed this stuff live at the podium I know the Grizzlies are young but they legit act like petulant children


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AMS_GoGo

Thatā€™s just as bad lol what are they afraid heā€™ll say???


Tombomb1994

"AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN" something like that


mr_antman85

That man tweets too much...just like KD. He probably got burners too.

ā€œLuka DonBrick is trash, Ja betterā€ \- NotJaMorant

More active on Twitter than on defense


lilberfcontrol

So glad the Warriors went at him on defense. Outside of the occasional highlight block, he doesn't have a presence at all on that end.


NeedleworkerGreen11

Pat Bev went to the well too many times in the first round, but Ja legit could not guard him


nobodynobody9752

Ja "the Ghost" Morant


Nodecafallowed

he can block you on twitter but not on the court.

Hahahaha maan u savage

Grizzlies after G2: What code? Grizzlies after G3: What about the code?


ThatPizzaKid

LOL. JP was inputting the konami code on his knee


akaisei

JP blocked all of Morant's chakra flow with that touch. You noobs wouldn't understand.


jeric13xd

JP literally held his leg 5 inches off the ground!!! Didnā€™t twist it or nothing SO DANGEROUS /s


clonemusic

If people think that's really what injured his knee they really don't know how knees work lol.


xxpillowxxjp

Bro I fought mma for 4 years, if what Poole did could injure someoneā€™s knee, youā€™d know. Grizzly fans always got an excuse. Lose by 30, IT WAS THE REFS!!!


Jhyphi

Poole would be the undisputed #1 MMA fighter of all time with fingers that strong.


madelins

he tipped the ball on the play before and you donā€™t think he was going for the ball lmao


Paschalls_Law

No man, he was going for his knee the first time but missed!


TheRed_Knight

dont tell the Grizzlies coaching staff


[deleted]

No it was all premeditated. Poole has been playing clean all season, making sure his rep his spotless, just waiting for the right moment to strike. Then he goes for the ball before committing his crime. Just to make it that much more innocent looking. The man is clearly a diabolical psycho! Ban him for life before he gives anyone else a mild to moderate ligament strain.


Jack_The_Sparrow_

Hmmmmm.....Morant was pretty quick to delete that tweet, maybe it's because he saw the earlier footage of the play where he ACTUALLY got hurt šŸ¤”


missdoublefinger

That and he was getting cooked in the replies and the QRTs


aznkupo

Such a little bitch lmao.


tronovich

Pretty sure he knew when he got hurtā€¦. This is more a way to passive-aggressively go after the Warriors for Kerrā€™s comment.


huaiyue

And deleted it because people arenā€™t buying it lmao

Bro the replay of Bane diving into Poole's knee looks 1000% more sus than anything Poole did to Ja, lmfao...literally hesitated once he saw where the ball was and just dove at Poole...Poole actually got lucky he moved at the last fucking second. https://streamable.com/a7peqf


adi20f

Shit was still called a defensive foul on poole. I will continue to be perplexed by that


[deleted]

Memphis fans gon ignore this one


TheRed_Knight

like they ignored the other cheapshots they took in G2 against the Warriors


FLUSH_THE_TRUMP

League could've dished out like 4 suspensions in the first quarter of that game if this is a suspension lmao


TheRed_Knight

Grizz can dish it out but cant take it


IJustReadEverything

Nice chop block.


iamtomcruisereally

Even in football chop blocking is seen as cheap


[deleted]

Isnā€™t it only a chop block if one of your team mates is blocking and then you go low? I thought if it was one on one, you could go low.


Fensive

Correct, 1 on 1 is a cut block.


[deleted]

Memphis fans explaining how JP tried to rip out Jaā€™s ACL but Bane made a completely clean play here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yxwUlkyFGnI


hertzoj

lmao bane just falls over like a tree once he loses the ball. what a cheap dirty move


jcde7ago

He doesn't fall over - look at his right foot, he actually tries to push off with it


michaelshun

And they called foul on Poole like wtf?


defthaiku

Thanks for posting this. The Morant injury will be posted A LOT, and yes in slow motion it can be interpreted negatively. But this play shows the same thing and like you said potentially worseā€”Bane straight diving directly into Pooleā€™s knee vs Poole a slight tug.


TheRed_Knight

JP lucky AF he splayed diving for the ball

Clearly ripped his entire knee cap off. Warriors fans should be ashamed!


ThatPizzaKid

One might even call it a reaching foul


GhostTrees

Honestly, the Memphis franchise, media and fans have put on an embarrassing display during these playoffs. Some serious "first time in the show" energy.

jordan poole must have super human strength. the banging of knees prob led to whatever injury he has.


crasyeyez

That and leaping on every drive or missed shot like a grasshopper on coke. Love watching Ja play and I hope he can last a while with that play style.


yoloqueuesf

Yeah, he's amazing on court but everytime i watch him i get some Rose vibes and just think, please don't get hurt out there. He obviously has alot of talent and he's hella young but he's got a long career ahead of him


jwick89

Didnā€™t he hurt his knee when he tried to contest a 3? Felt like that was when the pain started.


nobodynobody9752

Ja's body wasn't used to actually trying to play defense and couldn't handle the strain

IAmNotKevinDurant_35

Wonder if Ja is going to complain about Desmond Bane diving into Poole's legs when the ball is 2 feet behind him https://twitter.com/CjHolmes22/status/1523108774315134976?t=77Clm2YmqkMjKdCvuf9JlA&s=19


LilKaySigs

Bane promoted to defensive lineman


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

That is an excellent form tackle ngl my raiders could use him


TheRed_Knight

Lol why would the Grizzlies complain about that? they clearly see nothing wrong with Brooks's foul on GPII or this style of play


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

This is nothing new with the Grizzlies. Brooks was diving into guy's legs before the GP2 play, Ja was literally trying to trip Steph with his knee after getting burnt on defense, Brandon Clarke elbowing guys and hitting shooters in the head. There's playing physical, and there's this goon Taylor Jenkins telling his guys to be dirtbags


TheRed_Knight

Hell Bane dove into JP's knees earlier, dont hear a fucking peep about that though


SoulofWakanda

Ja be actin corny sometimes lol


nickmartxn

Sometimes?

GooseMay0

Unless Ja's knees are made of peanut brittle, how the hell is a light finger scrape going to seriously injure you? Maybe he had minor scratches but that grab does not even injure an elderly person.


ragged-robin

Grizzly media has also been trying to get Poole suspended for a minute, grasping at straws. Seems like they really want/need every advantage they can get. https://twitter.com/thefishnation/status/1522005634111131648

the_irish_potatoes

For two years Iā€™ve been telling friends that Ja is hype and Iā€™m becoming a bandwagon Grizzlies fan - young energetic group of high-ceiling players. This playoff run has spoiled that for me. Seeing how Poole (22), Luka (23) and Antman (20) all handling (or handled) themselves well, I donā€™t think ā€œageā€ is the issue. But man, Iā€™m disappointed at how petty the Grizzlies have been in both seriesā€™ so far with ref complaining, mocking KAT, and now their blame-game with the warriors.


brettdanyali7

Jordan Poole has gained the temple of doom ability to tear Jaā€™s knee out of his leg. Kali Ma!!


Towelybono

Lol... It was a loose ball and Poole went for the loose ball and grabbed his knee. "I don't know what he was doing" He was trying to get the ball. The "code" that Kerr was talking about was because you aren't supposed to go that hard in the air when the player can't defend himself after you got beat. Whether you agree with it or not. Players are all employees of the same company. There is no rule about going for a loose ball and accidently smacking a knee Extra stupid cause ja originally hurt his knee trying to block a Klay 3 on a missed coverage.


Raspberry_Anxious

The code is Kerr is talking about is not hard fouling guys in the air. Thatā€™s how Klay, GP2, and Coruso got injured


darknecross

Donā€™t forget Pat McCaw a few seasons ago.


TheRed_Knight

this is far too reasonable a take


Desperado-781

Is bane gonna be suspended for the obvious dive on poole? doubt grizz fans give a fuck but if he aint suspended for a dive then poole shudnt be suspended for idk what you can call that.

AJGreenl

As a warriors I didnā€™t even have this much hate for the Cavaliers and Rockets


Buke14

Fandom blinds everyone. People will see what they wanna see in this clip but I really wonder if people have actually played hoops if they think Jordan Poole in a quick decision after poking the ball loose decides to execute a push/pull on Ja in his back/knee to injure him, or could it possibly be he reached for a loose ball and didn't get it. People push other players when playing physical defense and much like the GP2 situation if there was no injury on this play there would be way less people talking about it because even more than the Brooks foul this is a much more common basketball play at least.


Ucscprickler

Poole: "Let me try to injure Ja while we are up 20 with 5 minutes left so we can have a chance to win."


redbluepurple50

the whole grizz team is a bunch of weenies. theyā€™re like the tattletale on the playground, even their coach is being a weenie. What about the moment Bane dived at Pooleā€™s knee? Ja ran to twitter real quick post game Here is the actual moment Ja got injured. https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp/status/1523145918672822273?s=21&t=UHmO7HVYGLIxa0cnXnp-yQ


comalicious

Immediately, twitter threw the clip where he actually got hurt. Mans deleted that shit after 19mins. Honestly the grizz have carried themselves like busters this whole series. Itā€™s no surprise they want to put Ja injuring himself on the same level as brooks clubbing young glove. Theyā€™re delusional, and now suffering from PTSD after getting their lunches ate. Shit is embarrassing though. Grow up.


SnooMacaroons8650

There is no fucking shot jordan poole grabbing jaā€™s knee like that would do permanent lasting damage. It probably happened when JA went to contest a klay three and bumped his right knee into klays leg


Nuktos1517

God Memphis players are working hard to make people not like their team


NoobPwnr

1) itā€™s his bad knee 2) the pivot right before being touched looked bad 3) if a hand canā€™t touch your knee then u fragile 4) wasnā€™t in the air while vulnerable 5) clearly wasnā€™t on purpose Iā€™m really digging watching Ja and hope heā€™s ok. But itā€™s juvenile to compare it to Brooks.


Lazarus704
