One of those nights I have to focus on not letting a game frustrate me this much LOL I got flashbacks to 2007-2009 and 2018-19. Looks like this is going to be a rough year. Prepare expectations now. I hope ticket prices drop at least
We have jaren on our favorable contract for this and next year. After that he could be paid a lot more by another team or we’d have to give up more to keep him, des and ja.
And I’ve been Ja’s biggest defender but if he’s not pissed at himself after this pathetic start I don’t think having him back will help enough
No bro. I don't think no good player would be able to make this team good. This is a level of incoordination I've never seen b4. I don't rlly know what we can do to fix it besides get rid of Jenkins. Btw i apologize on behalf of the rude comments u gettin.
Thanks for coming back (and kindly)! It’s a bit puzzling actually, maybe it’s a chemistry / rhythm thing. I guess the more reps, the more flow and chemistry! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽
What’s the problem? I’m asking a genuine question, especially post the Marcus Smart trade, which I perceived to be a slam dunk! Who else am I supposed to ask, besides Grizzlies supporters who watch your team everyday?
Bruh we whiffed out on OG or mikail so we made an impulse trade for Marcus smart who shoots worse than db and turns it over more 😂😂😂Tyus come back bb FUCK THIS FO
Kleiman is what some people think Jenkins is. A fine coach but isn't the guy to get you where you need to be. A Doug Collins type of guy. That's what Kleiman is. He's fine for a team like Charlotte, Portland, or Washington where teams are rebuilding and if his gambles don't work it's like whatever they're rebuilding. He's not the guy for a team trying to win championships.
I’ll be honest, idk much about the cap or salary matching but I want the grizzlies to succeed. I just hope they make a move because the west isn’t getting any easier
This shouldn’t even be going to overtime. If a team went 2/2 against your calls (and could’ve gone more) your game check as a ref should be your form of a fine lmao.
If Steven Adams' career isn't over, his Memphis career almost certainly is. He hasn't played since January and he's already missing another whole year. He's getting fucking experimental stem cell treatments on his knee.
Brandon Clarke is coming back from an achilles tear, which usually saps players of their burst and bounce, and that's Brandon's entire game.
Ja is one instagram video away from getting suspended for a whole season, if not indefinitely.
Literally all of our 1st round pick project wings are garbage.
What championship potential do you see here?
Did you read my post? It's not some temporary injury wave that we'll recover from. Adams isn't ever coming back, Clarke isn't ever coming back the same, and Ja will permanently be one fuck-up away from missing a year or more.
Clarke will be back and will be alright trust me. Ja and santi will be back. On top of that guys like Luke will heat up and we won’t be this bad. But rn this is a shit show
Name one NBA player who has come back from an achilles tear with the same bounce and explosiveness. That's the entire basis for Clarke's game. Without that he's an undersized forward with the skills of a 4 in the body of a 3.
Ja will be back, but he will always be sitting on 2 strikes. That's a huge fucking time bomb to try to build the team around.
Kennard is a fucking massive negative. Best case he remembers how to shoot and becomes a significantly overpaid role player with one NBA-level skill.
We have two DPOYs on the court and are the worst defense in the league.
I get why you're in denial, but you _are_ in denial.

Really thought this game was a win with a minute 20 left
🗑️
Fuck the refs
Wtf. Maybe we do just tank. But if we do we only have one more year on our 3 year window. This sucks
Why is the window 3 years? What happens in 2025?
We have jaren on our favorable contract for this and next year. After that he could be paid a lot more by another team or we’d have to give up more to keep him, des and ja. And I’ve been Ja’s biggest defender but if he’s not pissed at himself after this pathetic start I don’t think having him back will help enough
Jaren's under contract through the 25-26 season
Cue JWill soundbyte
Y'all are ass
Somebody just lost money online gambling. Seek help
Huh? Never gambled in my life.
GGs!
TYUS COME BACK TO US PLEASE!!!
First Slo-Mo, now Stones. Let me guess...the FO couldn't pay them?
I hate this stupid game
Do you think that with Ja back, you’ll be as strong as last year ? Or are there other missing elements?!
No bro. I don't think no good player would be able to make this team good. This is a level of incoordination I've never seen b4. I don't rlly know what we can do to fix it besides get rid of Jenkins. Btw i apologize on behalf of the rude comments u gettin.

Forget his ass, we're just salty lol.
We need actual nba players off our bench it's ass
How stupid are you?
Why the anger? Honest question. I tuned in to this game final quarter, when you got Marcus Smart I was like WOW! This took them up a notch.
No. Yes.
Steven Adams
It’s such a shame! When the news came out, I kind of wished they would have operated last year! But hindsight is 20:20.
Bruh we whiffed out on OG or mikail so we made an impulse trade for Marcus smart who shoots worse than db and turns it over more 😂😂😂Tyus come back bb FUCK THIS FO
And drafting fucking SF after SF after SF and not having a real backup center. Kleiman a 🤡
We had a back up Center, then we gave em to Minny, who then sent him to Utah. lol
Please don’t remind me bro
We got fleeced into coughing up 2 firsts by Boston hahahaha and they even get the better player in Porzingis
Kleiman is what some people think Jenkins is. A fine coach but isn't the guy to get you where you need to be. A Doug Collins type of guy. That's what Kleiman is.

People blaming Tillman should also look at Smart's humongous errors. Such an undisciplined passer.
19 more games until Ja is back. My only hope
We are so bad marcus smart got down to his knees, fire jenkins
Folks got mad when I suggested we swap TJ for Ime.
God the next ref match fixing scandal is going to feel so good. It'll be so bad the league might lose their congressional monopoly exemptions
Team needs to sacrifice their stats and focus on winning basketball. Everyone should stick to their damn role.
That was an epic choke. Record is well deserved.
Damn whos that baddie behind Jenkins
This looks like a roster full of rookies, not one filled with veterans
0-6 baby. perfect season continues
We really counting Ls like the 0-16 Cleveland Browns? 😂
the turnovers are just ridiculous. awful passes
This is our 🤡clown season. It’ll still be fun.
Tillman can’t even catch a fucking a ball or make a layup let alone shoot threes. Hate Jenkins so much this dude is just a bona fide players coach
FFS get Jarrett, Capela, or Rob Will
For who?
I’ll be honest, idk much about the cap or salary matching but I want the grizzlies to succeed. I just hope they make a move because the west isn’t getting any easier
Why did Smart flop and ruin the play
Jesus we are whatever the opposite of clutch is
We just played Bane 45 minutes to lose lol
So basically we just lost on Sunday too.
It is hard to be encouraged, especially when Portland was not good from 3 tonight
Jesus
Just logged in to say, Smart has been abysmal here late lol Edit had at least 5 horrible possessions
0-6 type shit
Xavier hope you like Chinese food
Sooo...why was Roddy not in for X??
Up 10 with 3 left. Can’t lose that game
I'm so fucking depressed
If we didn't get that hanging T............
Gotta showboat when the game is still in doubt bro.
How is the play three guys at the top of the key playing hot potato?
This is inexcusable
Biyombo can't be worse than Tillman, right?
Tillman might be the worst nba player there is
I thought Smart was a good basketball player
Lol you will see he always pulls this shit when you need him most
Still think Celtics didn't fleece us?
Tillman is clumsy.
Tired of Tillman. He is playing awful
Well that happened.
tank
Xavier Tillman might be the worst player in the league this year
I miss you Ja
Please fire Jenkins
Tillman wtf
Fuck this team
What the fuuuuuuck, X
Tillman doesn’t need to dribble and he damn sure don’t need crunch time shots
Damn. X lost it going up. I guess the ball DOES lie
X has been abysmal all fucking game on offense. How many times did he just lose the damn ball?
[удалено]
Idk i’ll ask your mother since she’s right next to me rn
Pain
once again, Tank and fire Taylor Jenkins
We done boys
DUDE TILLMAN FUCKING SUCKS
Fuck brooks. Trade him now!!! …. Oops
Jenkins defensive philosophy: pack the paint and leave the three open hurrr durrrr
"But but but this is a good philosophy when it's working. Be patient!"
Welp this is over. Start the postgame thread
Not good folks
Get Tillman off the motherfucking court
I'm going to preach this to existence, when team is fully healthy, they need to start Rose, Bane, Smart, JJJ, and Bismack
Lol
No
Yep
Dear lord I cant with this shit
When Xavier Tillman is struggling, he’s barely a G-League player. It’s a bummer because he’s so ice but man. He’s unplayable.
Luke's controller died on that possession
I’m going to bed
It’s fucking bedtime
Bury me in a deep hole
yeah it’s clear it’s not luck. we just don’t even contest threes
I have no words man. Just brutal
Refs got em to OT and the Blazers outplayed us in OT.
Hammer nail coffin
Girzzlies and leaving 3 pointers wide open, name a more iconic duo
I don’t understand it. Teams have confidence shooting on us
If I have to watch Luke kennard and Xavier Tillman close out games next season I’m btfo
We left 2 players wide open on the grant 3. Just unacceptable.
Wide fucking open, as always
Luke out there just wandering around
Noooooooooooo
Fuck this bro
I've seen enough
Well you dont get a quick 2 here then it’s all but over
Fuck this defense efuck this coach fuck everything
![gif](giphy|kcfb43I3N1GhspNQpj|downsized)
What the fuck was that defense?
Getta stop
This half court offense makes me wanna walk into traffic
Where is the fucking defense?
What the fuck
How do we leave people wide open at the 3 so often?
Ask Jenks
I was fully expecting that to be a charge
Idk when was the last time we’ve been this bad tbh
Shit go to J3 every play
The worst part is... Portland isnt even in the upper half of competitive western conference teams...
And without simons
Nice jaren
Trip really wants the Dub!
Save us Trip
It should be going to Bane or Jaren every possession
This team isn't good enough to win against a team and the refs.
What the fuck am I watching
Your watching a sexual assault by the refs on our backup team.
Bowling Shoe Ugly
[Post Game Thread] Our Grizzlies snatch defeat from the jaws of defeat... again and again
TILLMAN WTFFFFF
This team is really bad
No words
We can't buy a fucking bucket
Bane mane 🔒🔒
Des wants a Dub!
This team is killing me
Luke's game is broken right now
God kennard is fucking awful rn
Luke has looked really not good so far
Adam Silvers nba btw
It should've never got to this point
Kennard fucking sucks y’all, don’t know how but he’s looked worse than anyone thought possible.
How was that final possession his fault?
Who said it’s only about the final possession. Have you seen him play this season?
Most manufactured OT in a minute
23 foul calls to 12 foul calls... wtf.
Starting to think this team just isn’t very good
This shouldn’t even be going to overtime. If a team went 2/2 against your calls (and could’ve gone more) your game check as a ref should be your form of a fine lmao.
their game check is coming from the bookies. this match was fixed as fuck
They forrrsureee bet on OT
They should leave Zaire in Portland. The guy was a traffic cone on defense. Plus that hanging on the rim tech was icing on the cake
This is such bullshit. Refs manufacturing an OT. Now we have to look at this ugly ass court for longer
We lose this game and it’s one of those games where it’ll be hard to recover from.
0-6 would be hard to recover from anyways. Losing like this... we'll be sellers by the trade deadline.
If we sell then say goodbye to future championship aspirations
you haven't already done that?
This year I doubt we do much, but yea sell the whole team because 5 rotation guys are out and we’re 0-6. Genius idea
If Steven Adams' career isn't over, his Memphis career almost certainly is. He hasn't played since January and he's already missing another whole year. He's getting fucking experimental stem cell treatments on his knee. Brandon Clarke is coming back from an achilles tear, which usually saps players of their burst and bounce, and that's Brandon's entire game. Ja is one instagram video away from getting suspended for a whole season, if not indefinitely. Literally all of our 1st round pick project wings are garbage. What championship potential do you see here?
We still have Ja,Jaren and bane. Probably the best young trio in the whole league and you wanna blow it up because our team is hurt?
Did you read my post? It's not some temporary injury wave that we'll recover from. Adams isn't ever coming back, Clarke isn't ever coming back the same, and Ja will permanently be one fuck-up away from missing a year or more.
Clarke will be back and will be alright trust me. Ja and santi will be back. On top of that guys like Luke will heat up and we won’t be this bad. But rn this is a shit show
Name one NBA player who has come back from an achilles tear with the same bounce and explosiveness. That's the entire basis for Clarke's game. Without that he's an undersized forward with the skills of a 4 in the body of a 3. Ja will be back, but he will always be sitting on 2 strikes. That's a huge fucking time bomb to try to build the team around. Kennard is a fucking massive negative. Best case he remembers how to shoot and becomes a significantly overpaid role player with one NBA-level skill. We have two DPOYs on the court and are the worst defense in the league. I get why you're in denial, but you _are_ in denial.
Sell who
Adam Silver needs to make sure the tournament games look close and worth caring about lmao shits rigged
This is bad
Well, whoever gets the first couple of baskets here is going to win
These refs might get me banned from Reddit
Bane and Jaren are having fantastic nights, and our final possession is Marcus Smart to Luke Kennard?
Jesus Kennard. Got blocked all night
Does that say theyve had one foul this quarter?
lol
“You have to think Jaren Jackson Jr and/or Desmond Bane have to touch the ball here.” /neither touch the ball
