Your Memphis Grizzlies Basketball Thread III

[YankeeVol]

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

Ziaire sucks. He is another wasted draft pick. There’s easily 4-5 guys that should have been taken over him.

The problem with the Ziaire trade was the value. They gave up way too much to move up 7 spots from 17 to 10 take a guy that would have likely been there at 17. The guy the Pelicans took at 17 (Murphy) is a far better player and would have been a much better fit on the Grizzlies....

The only reason why this trade isn't a F- is because Adams has been healthy and is a better fit than Jonas was....

Adams is so awesome for this team. Can’t call him underrated I guess because fans love him but his on court production is so underrated. Best part of the trade by far

And I don’t want to talk about Murphy

 

[YankeeVol]

Great.

Tonight will be chippy

Draymond is such a b****

 

[tvolsfan]

4 straight L’s

The Grizzlies are 3-1 on this trip if Ziaire Willams is where he belongs (Southaven)....

So you can play who instead exactly? He was not good but where go the minutes?

 

[gordonr24]

I made the mistake of staying up, when I already knew what the outcome would be

 

[gordonr24]

This team, as currently constructed, is a first round 7 game winner and a 2nd round exit in 6 games.

Agree, not enough shooting and absolutely no wing depth. Same issues as last year except Kyle Anderson and DeAnthony Melton's minutes have been replaced by Konchar, Roddy, Ziaire, and Jake....

Either Dillon will be playing 40 minutes a game or 4 guys with no business playing high leverage minutes will be playing. Neither is a path to championship success....

 

[95 Vol Alum]

This team has stopped playing defense. Particularly 3PT defense.

So apparently there is some growing conspiracy theory that the Memphis home scorer is padding JJJ's stats to get him DPOY consideration. His Stl + Blk numbers are very different on the road vs at home.

It was debunked

 

[tvolsfan]

Awful start

The stats are wrong? I honestly didn’t look beyond the “accusation.”

I know the Grizzlies official scorer personally and he would never. He’s also the Redbirds official scorer too.

No, the user was just wrong about how stats are counted and verified. Also, people looked at the footage and didn’t find many of the blocks or steals suspicious.

I never knew TBrown was the official home scorer....

Dillon is officially lost on offense. Black hole level.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

And Ja needs to get his sideline crew to stfu.

 

[tvolsfan]

Going to see this team in Cleveland on Thursday. Hope we don’t embarrass ourselves or have any injury problems (would suck to miss Ja or JJJ).

 

[tvolsfan]

And Ja needs to get his sideline crew to stfu.

Yeah, I almost always defend Ja, but parents only serve to embarrass you in sports.

 

[gordonr24]

You give up Brooks, a filler, and draft capital to get OG, if you can.

But Toronto isn’t that stupid, and the Grizz FO isn’t bold.
