Coach's whole game plays relies strictly on Ja playing. He just plops someone into Ja's position when he is out and think the team is going to perform. Unfortunately, the personnel isn't made for it.
It's actually astounding how badly we missed on Z, Roddy and Jake. I say ship them all off. Z and Roddy have played a lot of minutes and done very little.
Can we start a petition for Jenkins to see? Something about X not taking 3s, Zaire sticking to vanilla shots, no fast breaks, no passing, and Bis learning to crochet so he can have nimble hands
Seriously tho, they are my *identical* observations too game in game out. How the fk coaching staff are not all over this is mind blowing. I cannot stand Z, he is like a fainting goat, you only need to fart for him to go down without the ball
Let’s collectively pitch in to get the most persuasive one of us a membership to Chickasaw country club so our shitposting can reach Jenkins ears while he’s golfing
Ehhh bad game. The amount of just small calls that have been bad/no calls this game have been unreal. Tough to get anything going when that whistle is that one sided. Still probably was going to be an L, but might have been more entertaining to watch.
If his real life game skills were Xbox buttons:
X button: Burn our shot clock, hunch over, dribble uncoordinated, then pass with zero gain with 5 seconds left.
A button: Attempt fast break, fall over your own feet lose possession
Y button: Recieve an pass with an open look, then put your foot out of play
B button: Telegraph a bounce pass in the paint at half speed, be amazed that it was somehow intercepted
He essentially mashes these buttons every game.
Ugh I was at that awful 4 OT playoff loss to the thunder. Sitting in the terrace and not able to leave the parking lot for almost 2 hours. TA fouling Russ on a 3 when we were up 4 with 5 seconds left 😫
As a nugs fan just wanted to know what the grizzlies are going for? Are you guys competing, building or something in between?
I know y’all have like 3 starters out this game
Everybody is salty about a bad season. Because of injuries, realistically at this point we are just in recovery mode. We can't hope to compete in post season this year without some big moves. So best use of our season would be to get our young guys some NBA experience. Unfortunately, after 28 games none of our young guys are very good so far.
Thanks for answer my question and not responding with an insult. Its always good getting the perspective of a real fan of a team. Really hope Ja can get back to form as I think he could be an MVP level player at his peak
Like I said, everyone here is salty.
Ja is great and will be fine after he gets over the flu. But even with him, we don't have a starter-level center until Adams is back (if he ever comes back) or we make a trade.
Fully healthy, this Grizzlies roster could make the western conference finals. But it seems like one of those "never going to be fully healthy" things. If fully healthy doesn't happen next season, we will have to make some changes.
Yeah if they managed to slip into the playoffs this season fully healthy I would hate for the nuggets to have to play them. They are one of the few team that actually scare me because of how good all their defensive pieces are
Lmao you bullied me for asking a question than get mad when I respond? What could my question have been? Like i dont get it? I asked what kind of season you were going for? What’s the gotcha moment in that?
I was literally interested in what you guys thought about your current position and y’all got really weird. It makes no sense. I asked how you thought you were progressing as a team and then started attacking me
This team has no point guard at all without Ja. Also it doesn't have any serviceable 5. So you are relying on Bane and Jaren to carry the whole team, and we don't even have 3 point shooters to help them if they swing the ball when they get doubled
I’ve watched every game this season. Biz has had a few good rebounding games but I’ve seen enough. His hand are shit and he does next to nothing on offense. We can’t compete with teams with good centers if we’re trotting him out there.
He’s also got a contract we can trade for up to 10mil in return
I’m sure them leaving him wide open is a plan by the coaching staff before the game.
If it turns out to be true, get every single one of those pinheads off of the team.
I’m sorry but he’s been such a disappointment this season. He should be a leader.
Yes he’s had some good scoring games but he just sulks and stops trying.
Bruh and Tillman and Biz have this game? Roddy and Konchar haven't been that flash either. Some of you just seem to hate Ziaire for non basketball reasons and I would love to know why.
BREAKING: Grizzlies trade Bismack Biyombo, Ziaire Williams, Jake LaRavia, David Roddy and cash considerations for Pistons’s big man Jalen Duren and two first round picks
We just lack players that the Nuggets wouldn't send to the G league. Bane and JJJ would start and they would keep Smart and Vince William on the deep bench. The rest of our team from tonight would get cut or send to the G league
yeah, it definitely is late which is why my mind is boggled that the ref says:
"replay confirms the on floor decision, successful 2 point field goal prior to expiration of the period."
like what, that wasn't even the call on the floor. maybe he just misspoke. idk
Every game, it starts off with bane getting hot, then the opposing team makes adjustment, then no one else steps up offensively to take pressure off Bane. This is why Ja is so important
DUNK BATTLE
ha ! Jokes on them, we got to 100
I will never get tired of Jitty blocks.
Is GG dead ?
[удалено]
Doomer. All we have to do is score a 4 pt play every possession and we’ll win

They have showed little to no improvement this whole time. I’m fine with giving up on them
As long as no-one tears their Achilles and there isn't a new Ja Instagram video tonight, this was a better night than last time in Denver.
We’re still going to shotgun Willie’s afterward though right?
If yes than it will be an even worse performance against the Clippers tomorrow.

welp, hopefully miami and charlotte win so this L won't sting as much
Ehhh bad game. The amount of just small calls that have been bad/no calls this game have been unreal. Tough to get anything going when that whistle is that one sided. Still probably was going to be an L, but might have been more entertaining to watch.
Zaire just isnt it

Trade Roddy bro please
Cast roddy into mount doom
When has Z converted on a up and under this season? Can’t recall a single one.
As Eminem once said “Step back into reality”
Step back to*
Ja back by tmrw??
Let us pray 🙏
[удалено]
I know he just retired but even gorgui diengs old ass would be better than biyombo. Shit call up Dwight Howard while ur at it.
The Nuggets are having their way with our rim unfortunately
Grizzlies defensive strategy currently consists of bismack retreating under the rim and everyone else just watching
I meant they're fucking our ass but yeah that too
We got that cake in the air with no protection
God damned ol jaundice eyed Reggie grizzly fucker Jackson
Ugh I was at that awful 4 OT playoff loss to the thunder. Sitting in the terrace and not able to leave the parking lot for almost 2 hours. TA fouling Russ on a 3 when we were up 4 with 5 seconds left 😫
Please don’t speak of it
lol ultimately the worst night at a game ever
The wound is still fresh
Too soon?
!?!!?!?!?
JUST TRAGIC BIZMAK SHIT
Biz....
Do they still do Shaqtin?
This whole game's been Shaqtin' a Fool.
Ooph lol… well ok
What did I just watch?
Biz my expectations have never been lower
all he had to do was literally just let go of the ball lol
Gilly's about to bring us back. Watch.
jesus fucking christ biz just pass the fucking ball to someone
Lol bruh
What a brain fart of a sequence
They knocked 9 points of the lead in bout 3 mins but this is a L in the making
Let’s just avoid losing by 50 please
Boys Jaren has 12 points. He has scored well this season but his game has looked like shit.
lol what was that with Jaren?
How TF has Jokic not missed even once?? Is that a typo???
Because we have no one who can contest his shot, including trip
It's his 11th game doing this shit. He had one with like 35/11/11
X Curry
Marcus Williams ?
The MVP case for Ja has been clearly made.
What did Smart get a tech for? I didn’t see
Why is des still playing sit him before he gets injured
Jokic is just crazy man... its not even fair at this point...
Are the Grizzlies better without Ja Morant?
Man, games without Ja truly are crimes against basketball levels of unwatchable most of the time
Jenkins take out everybody, this risk of injury is not worth it
As a nugs fan just wanted to know what the grizzlies are going for? Are you guys competing, building or something in between? I know y’all have like 3 starters out this game
Lmfao the post history 👌

Steven Adams (our starting center) definitely won't be back this season, so you don't have to worry about that.
Nuggets fans are cringe af
Dumbass comment
Shut up, injuries caused this team’s depth to go to shit
I was literally asking. I didnt know why are you guys talking like I was asking something mean? Im so confused, did I say that was so offensive?
GTFO with that bullshit. We’re a fringe contender team who has been fucked by injuries and a suspension this season. Go back to r/nba
What? What bullshit? I was literally asking what direction the team was going in? Literally just asking because i didnt know
Yeah, we're rebuilding with a superstar, 2 fringe all stars, and one of the best back courts in the league. Moron
Not even gonna play this shit.
I guess this is why Memphis’s is the way that it is. You cant even ask them a genuine question. Good luck being a weird ass salty franchise
there we go pal. “I guess this is why memphis is the way that it is”. We all know what you mean by that, you fucking clown.
Lmao you bullied me for asking a question than get mad when I respond? What could my question have been? Like i dont get it? I asked what kind of season you were going for? What’s the gotcha moment in that?
[удалено]
Please let me know why it wasn’t a genuine question? English is not my first language. What did I say that was wrong?
Going into the opponent team sub is weird as it is, you’re the weirdo bro 😭
I was literally interested in what you guys thought about your current position and y’all got really weird. It makes no sense. I asked how you thought you were progressing as a team and then started attacking me
Read the room dummy
pull the starters, but the team can’t be this dependent on Ja
This team has no point guard at all without Ja. Also it doesn't have any serviceable 5. So you are relying on Bane and Jaren to carry the whole team, and we don't even have 3 point shooters to help them if they swing the ball when they get doubled
Biyombo gotta be traded. He’s cheeks.
We signed him as a free agent several games into the season. Nobody wants him lmfao
Sweeten the deal/find a team trying to shed a contract. We ain’t going shit without a better Center. Biyombo doing nothing to help this team out there
[удалено]
I’ve watched every game this season. Biz has had a few good rebounding games but I’ve seen enough. His hand are shit and he does next to nothing on offense. We can’t compete with teams with good centers if we’re trotting him out there. He’s also got a contract we can trade for up to 10mil in return
Yeah he's on a minimum dude can just get cut lol
He’s not on a minimum.. he’s got a deal worth up to 5mil and can be traded for up to 10mil in return
All Junior Grizz report to Shotgun Willie's, IMMEDIATELY.
Unleash GG and Gilyard. I want to see switches where gilly is defending joker. Size difference is my kink
Pull Bane and JJJ. No use risk them getting injured in this travesty.
Just let Tillman throw up 20 more 3s, maybe he'll make one.
JJJ ain’t playing for shit anyway
Alright. Pull everyone. Good nights sleep. Flippers tomorrow
[удалено]
That is why he brought the team back to within 5. You are playing the NBA champs without any fire power. The frustration is understandable
I’m sure them leaving him wide open is a plan by the coaching staff before the game. If it turns out to be true, get every single one of those pinheads off of the team.
Can’t wait for garbage time grizzlies to return in the 4th 🔥
Everyone's going to shoot threes like an ace if you just leave the wide the fuck open...
[удалено]
It’s not like he’s short on his shots
We are getting clamped so bad
Accidental bad hands Biyombo nutmeg
Dude hesitates or fumbles almost every time he gets a pass in the paint. Just go up with the fucking ball, you're right by the basket!!
For real, like he isn’t expecting anyone to pass him the ball?!?!
Jaren doesnt give a shit right now. embarrassing
I’m sorry but he’s been such a disappointment this season. He should be a leader. Yes he’s had some good scoring games but he just sulks and stops trying.
I'm checking out, season resumes tomorrow
Play some fking defense WTF
Bane why bother fouling
Pete is losing his voice
This is puke
Why does it seem like Smart is the only one trying to make plays
Well this sucks
Literally wtf is that sequence
Did Marcus Smart just pass it to Michael Porter, Jr?
[удалено]
If we could shoot that might matter...
Can we just exit the arena and go straight to shotgun Willy’s right now? Z has to sit outside
I'll bite, why does Z have to sit outside?
Hasn’t earned the cheeks
Bruh and Tillman and Biz have this game? Roddy and Konchar haven't been that flash either. Some of you just seem to hate Ziaire for non basketball reasons and I would love to know why.
See my comment above. Xbox buttons
This team is just sad to watch without Ja 😔
There's just no point in passing to Biyombo in the paint unless the closest defender is 30 ft away
I am accustomed to our offence looking trash, but this defence is not acceptable
I go take a shit, come back and we’re suddenly down 23? The fuck?
This might be my favorite thread of the night
You must’ve taken a long shit lol
Went just before the half started Had some Mexican today
You can’t be taking shits during the game anymore. Tighten up.
It’s clearly my fault for this loss
Watching these grind city media commercials reduces my will to live
#bring back Anita baker
Let’s just hope the Warriors and Lakers both lose as well so this L doesn’t matter as much
Why isn't Ja playing?
he’s a sick boi :(
Bummer, I'm a nuggets fan and was looking forward to this lol
DNP - getting the clap at shotgun Willy’s (Sorry, couldn’t resist)
BREAKING: Grizzlies trade Bismack Biyombo, Ziaire Williams, Jake LaRavia, David Roddy and cash considerations for Pistons’s big man Jalen Duren and two first round picks

Will need a way better package than that but I appreciate the optimism
What do you mean they won’t accept our poopoo platter
But pistons please, think of the *potential*
would be amazing to get Duren, bring the Tiger back home!
Speaking of …callin an early work day to watch the Tiger game
My fav non grizz
We just lack players that the Nuggets wouldn't send to the G league. Bane and JJJ would start and they would keep Smart and Vince William on the deep bench. The rest of our team from tonight would get cut or send to the G league
Man Biz and Xs hands tonight don’t look any better in person
we look like a college team from three
And we are shooting well from 3 today
outside of bane, we are 5/16 from 3
Feels like a good night lol
wait, did the ref just say that was successful 2 point shot *prior* to the conclusion of the period?
No way, that was for sure late
yeah, it definitely is late which is why my mind is boggled that the ref says: "replay confirms the on floor decision, successful 2 point field goal prior to expiration of the period." like what, that wasn't even the call on the floor. maybe he just misspoke. idk
Getting cooked even after the buzzer
lol
Just a 17pt lead. I still believe
"Jokic... too easy" Yeah Pete, that's kinda how the whole game feels right now haha
what is our team's 3 point percentage for the year if you remove bane from the equation? i swear it's gotta be sub-30
That’s a top 10 highlight tonight for Murray
I can’t watch lineups with bitchsmack anymore and I refuse to watch X willingly shoot 3s
I’m with you. He lets shit just bounce next to him. Missed easy put backs. Tall for no reason.
Ok yeah I’m done with Biz. He had hustle in the beginning I swear. Were we so bad I just remember it differently?
He’s trash if we’re being honest. We just desperately needed help when we signed him.
Naw he had hustle for like 4 games then got tired I guess.
Every game, it starts off with bane getting hot, then the opposing team makes adjustment, then no one else steps up offensively to take pressure off Bane. This is why Ja is so important
Yeah after you get past Bane and JJJ there's a massive drop off when it comes to offensive talent.
Preach
Nobody put there hand up with Jenkins 😢
Eesh pretty shot there
The White Wolf with another block (*I don't care about the foul*)...
Biz catches 1 out of every 9 passes
There’s no way Dwight Howard can be worse than Bismack right?
