Your Memphis Grizzlies Basketball Thread III

They weren’t favored for a reason. Outside of Dog, that is.

15-0 run. Ouch

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Glad I didn’t spend $600 to go.

Brutal loss. Just really sucks that there is no Clarke or Adams

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Laughed.

Laker fans were as abundant as I’ve seen in the Forum in all of my years going to games. I attribute it to nice weather, being a weekend game, and the first time the lakers playing in Memphis in the playoffs.

There won’t be as many Laker fans on Wednesday. More difficult to travel from 2-4 hours away on a weekday when they have work the next day.

I think you’re gonna be surprised.

It can’t be worse

This team sure likes to talk a lot

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Especially when it doesn't make any sense to even be talking.

It’s who they are. I’m honestly fine with it. Just be ready for the **** to come your way when you lose.

The Grizz got absolutely nothing from Jake, Roddy, Konchar, Ziaire, Santi. ( I know some never played but those were the moves this F.O. made)

The Lakers role players won this Game....

They got little from Kennard as well. Lakers had one role (bench) player go bonkers in Rui.

Grizz got killed on the glass. Hell, Santi led the team in rebounds. Not addressing the absence of Adams at the deadline, for whatever the reason, looms much larger than the draft, imo.

Santi played pretty well all things considered..

We’re going to get killed on the glass. We have to win everything else. Lakers are a poor shooting team. Grizz had a pretty clear game plan of cutting off penetration at the expense of shooting. We’ll see what, if anything, changes.

What we don’t need is a 2:6 asst/TO ratio from the point guard

Won’t be an issue in game 2.

In Ja’s defense, he got no whistles. 0 FTs in 30 minutes, iirc.

Would be the first time ja + defense were next to each other (unless IN court)

I’m here all week, thank you.

Santi was -23 (by far the worst) yesterday and atrocious on the defensive end, especially in the last 5 mins....

(Bane/Ja was bad too on that end of the court and like you implied earlier, the defensive game plan was questionable)
