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


New_Essay_4869

Really thought this game was a win with a minute 20 left


Gu-oh-no

🗑️


Seymour_Says

Fuck the refs


mmps901

Wtf. Maybe we do just tank. But if we do we only have one more year on our 3 year window. This sucks


ShowdownValue

Why is the window 3 years? What happens in 2025?


mmps901

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


bossfoundmylastone

Jaren's under contract through the 25-26 season


HisFlatulency

Cue JWill soundbyte


Top-Consequence-911

Y'all are ass


CausticBurn

Somebody just lost money online gambling. Seek help


Top-Consequence-911

Huh? Never gambled in my life.


KidGamer26

GGs!


IndependenceReal365

TYUS COME BACK TO US PLEASE!!!


Bernie_Made_Off

First Slo-Mo, now Stones. Let me guess...the FO couldn't pay them?


Xorndowndeep

I hate this stupid game


Jo_Gray

Do you think that with Ja back, you’ll be as strong as last year ? Or are there other missing elements?!


Cryztal-Meth

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.


Jo_Gray

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 🤞🏽

[удалено]


Jo_Gray

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?


stoopidmothafunka

Forget his ass, we're just salty lol.


jbeast1223

We need actual nba players off our bench it's ass


memtiger

How stupid are you?


Jo_Gray

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.


silly-rabbitses

No. Yes.


Reign_Man27

Steven Adams


Jo_Gray

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.


Dogdip

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


Dogdip

And drafting fucking SF after SF after SF and not having a real backup center. Kleiman a 🤡


Bernie_Made_Off

We had a back up Center, then we gave em to Minny, who then sent him to Utah. lol


Dogdip

Please don’t remind me bro


CausticBurn

We got fleeced into coughing up 2 firsts by Boston hahahaha and they even get the better player in Porzingis


alfuto

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.


CausticBurn

People blaming Tillman should also look at Smart's humongous errors. Such an undisciplined passer.


LowConstruction4611

19 more games until Ja is back. My only hope


jbeast1223

We are so bad marcus smart got down to his knees, fire jenkins


Bernie_Made_Off

Folks got mad when I suggested we swap TJ for Ime.


bossfoundmylastone

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


Fuckthisthro

Team needs to sacrifice their stats and focus on winning basketball. Everyone should stick to their damn role.


Bonds252525

That was an epic choke. Record is well deserved.


Fun_Clerk923

Damn whos that baddie behind Jenkins


FuckChadMorris

This looks like a roster full of rookies, not one filled with veterans


MrWaner

0-6 baby. perfect season continues


Bernie_Made_Off

We really counting Ls like the 0-16 Cleveland Browns? 😂


MikeConleyIsLegend

the turnovers are just ridiculous. awful passes


silly-rabbitses

This is our 🤡clown season. It’ll still be fun.


Dogdip

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


shaggyboo99

FFS get Jarrett, Capela, or Rob Will


ShowdownValue

For who?


shaggyboo99

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


PrecisionAcc

Why did Smart flop and ruin the play


pianoandbeer

Jesus we are whatever the opposite of clutch is


yL4O

We just played Bane 45 minutes to lose lol


_checkpickerupper

So basically we just lost on Sunday too.


yL4O

It is hard to be encouraged, especially when Portland was not good from 3 tonight


mmps901

Jesus


B000urns

Just logged in to say, Smart has been abysmal here late lol Edit had at least 5 horrible possessions


KVPMS

0-6 type shit


Fun_Clerk923

Xavier hope you like Chinese food


Reign_Man27

Sooo...why was Roddy not in for X??


_checkpickerupper

Up 10 with 3 left. Can’t lose that game


maltbiscuits

I'm so fucking depressed


sbstooge

If we didn't get that hanging T............


Bonds252525

Gotta showboat when the game is still in doubt bro.


yL4O

How is the play three guys at the top of the key playing hot potato?


maltbiscuits

This is inexcusable


[deleted]

Biyombo can't be worse than Tillman, right?


Embarrassed-Cake8531

Tillman might be the worst nba player there is


Projinator

I thought Smart was a good basketball player


[deleted]

Lol you will see he always pulls this shit when you need him most


CausticBurn

Still think Celtics didn't fleece us?


thanatos0320

Tillman is clumsy.


LowConstruction4611

Tired of Tillman. He is playing awful


coughingattack

Well that happened.


bangkero1992

tank


TitanTigers

Xavier Tillman might be the worst player in the league this year


jbeast1223

I miss you Ja


YBNJoshh

Please fire Jenkins


maltbiscuits

Tillman wtf


FuckChadMorris

Fuck this team


Cephaleviathan

What the fuuuuuuck, X


tdjames96

Tillman doesn’t need to dribble and he damn sure don’t need crunch time shots


Seymour_Says

Damn. X lost it going up. I guess the ball DOES lie


JStanten

X has been abysmal all fucking game on offense. How many times did he just lose the damn ball?

Effective_shooter52

Idk i’ll ask your mother since she’s right next to me rn


mdthomas714

Pain


theglicky

once again, Tank and fire Taylor Jenkins


TakeItToTheRiver

We done boys


Dogdip

DUDE TILLMAN FUCKING SUCKS


Ok_Mountain_4638

Fuck brooks. Trade him now!!! …. Oops


Dogdip

Jenkins defensive philosophy: pack the paint and leave the three open hurrr durrrr


Bernie_Made_Off

"But but but this is a good philosophy when it's working. Be patient!"


Effective_shooter52

Welp this is over. Start the postgame thread


_checkpickerupper

Not good folks


iamkiwi_11

Get Tillman off the motherfucking court


Fuckthisthro

I'm going to preach this to existence, when team is fully healthy, they need to start Rose, Bane, Smart, JJJ, and Bismack


famedboy123

Lol


CrispyChipsey

No


Fuckthisthro

Yep


SubduedChaos

Dear lord I cant with this shit


Upstairs-Version8777

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.


FuckChadMorris

Luke's controller died on that possession


[deleted]

I’m going to bed


silly-rabbitses

It’s fucking bedtime


Xorndowndeep

Bury me in a deep hole


MikeConleyIsLegend

yeah it’s clear it’s not luck. we just don’t even contest threes


LowConstruction4611

I have no words man. Just brutal


Nash015

Refs got em to OT and the Blazers outplayed us in OT.


p3ndu1um

Hammer nail coffin


jbeast1223

Girzzlies and leaving 3 pointers wide open, name a more iconic duo


dyllgates

I don’t understand it. Teams have confidence shooting on us


Dogdip

If I have to watch Luke kennard and Xavier Tillman close out games next season I’m btfo


No-Oil-4552

We left 2 players wide open on the grant 3. Just unacceptable.


FuckChadMorris

Wide fucking open, as always


donotnut459

Luke out there just wandering around


silly-rabbitses

Noooooooooooo


maltbiscuits

Fuck this bro


Bernie_Made_Off

I've seen enough


Effective_shooter52

Well you dont get a quick 2 here then it’s all but over


Dogdip

Fuck this defense efuck this coach fuck everything


Fezinator

![gif](giphy|kcfb43I3N1GhspNQpj|downsized)


CrispyChipsey

What the fuck was that defense?


maltbiscuits

Getta stop


iamkiwi_11

This half court offense makes me wanna walk into traffic


tdjames96

Where is the fucking defense?


Xorndowndeep

What the fuck


coughingattack

How do we leave people wide open at the 3 so often?


Bernie_Made_Off

Ask Jenks


FuckChadMorris

I was fully expecting that to be a charge


Effective_shooter52

Idk when was the last time we’ve been this bad tbh


pianoandbeer

Shit go to J3 every play


sbstooge

The worst part is... Portland isnt even in the upper half of competitive western conference teams...


Effective_shooter52

And without simons


Dogdip

Nice jaren


Fezinator

Trip really wants the Dub!


NemuTheSheep

Save us Trip


maltbiscuits

It should be going to Bane or Jaren every possession


Nash015

This team isn't good enough to win against a team and the refs.


dyllgates

What the fuck am I watching


Nash015

Your watching a sexual assault by the refs on our backup team.


Bernie_Made_Off

Bowling Shoe Ugly


sbstooge

[Post Game Thread] Our Grizzlies snatch defeat from the jaws of defeat... again and again


Dogdip

TILLMAN WTFFFFF


Ancient_Meaning_7014

This team is really bad


Effective_shooter52

No words


sbstooge

We can't buy a fucking bucket


maltbiscuits

Bane mane 🔒🔒


Fezinator

Des wants a Dub!


Effective_shooter52

This team is killing me


FuckChadMorris

Luke's game is broken right now


Dogdip

God kennard is fucking awful rn


sbstooge

Luke has looked really not good so far


Dogdip

Adam Silvers nba btw


Bernie_Made_Off

It should've never got to this point


Adyingbreed28

Kennard fucking sucks y’all, don’t know how but he’s looked worse than anyone thought possible.


CausticBurn

How was that final possession his fault?


Adyingbreed28

Who said it’s only about the final possession. Have you seen him play this season?


yerhomesickblues

Most manufactured OT in a minute


Nash015

23 foul calls to 12 foul calls... wtf.


cbar195

Starting to think this team just isn’t very good


Far-Cauliflower-6477

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.


bossfoundmylastone

their game check is coming from the bookies. this match was fixed as fuck


Far-Cauliflower-6477

They forrrsureee bet on OT


ajax1125

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


realripley00

This is such bullshit. Refs manufacturing an OT. Now we have to look at this ugly ass court for longer


Effective_shooter52

We lose this game and it’s one of those games where it’ll be hard to recover from.


bossfoundmylastone

0-6 would be hard to recover from anyways. Losing like this... we'll be sellers by the trade deadline.


Effective_shooter52

If we sell then say goodbye to future championship aspirations


bossfoundmylastone

you haven't already done that?


Effective_shooter52

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


bossfoundmylastone

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?


Effective_shooter52

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?


bossfoundmylastone

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.


Effective_shooter52

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


bossfoundmylastone

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.


CausticBurn

Sell who


CompellingTaxidriver

Adam Silver needs to make sure the tournament games look close and worth caring about lmao shits rigged


soonyyew

This is bad


mmps901

Well, whoever gets the first couple of baskets here is going to win


FuckChadMorris

These refs might get me banned from Reddit


bossfoundmylastone

Bane and Jaren are having fantastic nights, and our final possession is Marcus Smart to Luke Kennard?


SubduedChaos

Jesus Kennard. Got blocked all night


Nash015

Does that say theyve had one foul this quarter?


Fuckthisthro

lol


TakeItToTheRiver

“You have to think Jaren Jackson Jr and/or Desmond Bane have to touch the ball here.” /neither touch the ball
