Your Memphis Grizzlies Basketball Thread III

[95 Vol Alum]

Everyone out there fighting. Meanwhile Tyus just putting in another night at the office.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Refs doing work late.

How do you lose that ball?

You get slapped on the arm big time....

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Disappointing given the volume of dribble drive foul calls in the 2H.

 

[TBrown]

What is he talking about? Certainly not the fact that he went 9/29 and turned the ball over 5 times.

 

[TBrown]

+16 on the glass
+14 off rebounds
+17 second chance points

Get a grasp on reality dude

Morant needs to stop taking so many 3's. He's not a good shooter

You make a very valid point but

Of all the things he needs to stop doing, shooting 3’s might not even be in the top 5. He needs to stop being a fake tough guy. He needs to stop being a cry baby. He needs to drop the constant faux outrage. He needs his father to stop playing tiddliewinks for him at every road game. Etc etc etc

Outside of Memphis, I can see why the Grizz are not a likable bunch. A bunch of trash talkers that haven’t accomplished anything. Nothing but cliches and phrases that haven’t earned any merit.

Plus they are kinda whiny. Not just Ja. JJJ and Dillon both cry for calls chronically.

It’s a young, immature team. There needs to be a couple vets. The oldest player in the rotation is 29. Then there’s a steep drop off.

Adams and Tyus provide plenty of example.

I’m so conflicted on Dillon. His D can be a difference, but he goes off the rails offensively too much. Last night for example. It felt like he was trying to match LeBron or something. 9 points on 17 shots completely offsets anything he does defensively.

This team is so soft

 

[gordonr24]

This team is so soft

This team is not easy to like and root for like those GnG teams. Bunch of soft kids

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I missed the 1H but looks like getting nothing from Jaren and Brooks is still chucking and missing.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Case in point, Dillon fires a missed 3 instead of getting the ball to Jaren being guarded by CP3.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

This team is so soft

Like a 7 foot match-up nightmare who would rather passively stand by the 3 point line than demand the ball in the post when opposing teams switch Dennis Schroeder or Chris Paul on him...

This is as much on Ja, Tyus, and Jenkins for failing to react to this...

 

[gordonr24]

Are we ready to bench Jitty for Roddy, like Grizz fans have been asking for?

Right now, Konchar is 10th in the rotation. Absent an injury, he and Roddy will be getting fewer minutes on the court in May than the Grandpa's and Grandma's dance team...

I’m never asking for Roddy.

Ofcourse, it’ll be trimmed. But at this point, I’ll be happy if we’re playing still in mid-May.

I wish Ziaire would step up. I really do not want to see Dillon playing 40 mins a game in the playoffs...

He will foul out faster than that.

 

[gordonr24]

I really do not like Dillon Brooks. What a dumb basketball player
