If we are trading Jitty and these are our last days with him, I'm glad he's getting this run

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Our record is nice. Our record against teams with a winning record is a dose of reality.

We've got toughest SOS for remainder of season. Put up or shut up

Sengun making Edey his bitch....

Horrific game

This one is on Jenkins...

Why do you wait to bring starters in with less than 3 mins down 6?

Not to mention calling TO when Bane was wide open for game tying 3

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Jenkins didn't commit 20 turnovers

Jenkins played Jake and Luke til the less than 3 mins with Ja and Jaren on the bench. Tell the rest of GCM wassup....

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

3 wide open 3s at the end of game didn't go down
Easy to say TJ shouldn't have called the TO when you see the ball go in after the TO

Although, yeah...He still probably should've let it play out, because you knew Houston would foul immediately.

It was stupid to not know which side of the court for the inbounds. One of the assistants should be checking on that. JJJ tripping during the inbounds action didn't help either.

lol, you think I'd be on here prattling away if I worked there?

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

I've got plenty of issues with TJ's decisions. This loss wasn't on him... Team was gassed earlier in the 4th. Had to sit them for the last few minutes.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Plus, Ja first game back...

JJJ was limping around & still played 34 minutes

Backups didn't lose ground either

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

We suck in the clutch. 26th.
5th worst in NBA. Only above Pels, Hornets, Jazz, & Raptors. 4 of the 5 tanks. Wizards (5th tanking team) are better than us lol

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

The main reason why we do poorly in clutch (last 5 minutes of game) is because we don't bring starters back in until 2 or 3 mins to go....

I want the offense to run through Ja or Jaren, not Jake with 3 mins to go....

Im not sure if it's still the case but we were the worst team in the league a couple of weeks ago in the first 2 mins of clutch (5:00 - 3:00 to go)

 

[YankeeVol]

Ja sucks. One of the most overrated players in the NBA

I honestly can't tell if this is a troll at this point.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

We got a new 15th man!

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

We got a new 15th man!

Soon enough he will be playing with 3 mins to go in a close game with Ja still on the bench waiting to check back in...

I looked at the remaining schedule and did a projection and I have the Grizz slated between 51-54 wins at the end of the season. That will likely put the Grizz in the 2-5 range, depending on how the rest of the standings shakes out.

Some of those early season losses in November are killer as well as the recent stretch the Grizz have been on.

All I know is that the current roster makeup is not going to beat OKC in a western semis or western finals matchup. Hell, the Grizz may lose in the first round again, if it draws a bad matchup.

 

[tvolsfan]

Personally, I think we will plummet in the standings by the end of the year. We should make the playoffs, but we will be an afterthought.
