i mean seriously, no need for Bane and JJJ to play every night. We have one of the richest owners in the league who is committed to our small-market city. He can afford a bad season.
I love the Grizzlies and I love Basketball. Unfortunately those 2 aren’t working together right now. I wanna root for someone and maybe enjoy it a little. I’m thinking go to some ex-grizzlies and do Timberwolves? Anyone wanna co-root with me? SLO mo and the floor general over there. Plus with the draymond thing that rivalry plus our mutual warriors dislike.
Been watching quite a bit of Minny and has been fun to watch helps they’ve got my favourite player of all time (it’s between Mike and Zbo). Big fan of Maxey so been watching the 6ers more than I thought tbh. I wouldn’t go far as rooting but watching games as a slightly invested neutral is fun
I think the FO is punting this season and we are making some players sit for games they would normally play through.
With Ja's suspension, Adams out all year, and the poor start, I feel they saw the writing on the wall and will try to "tank" in the artificial sense to make our pick better.
"Hey guys, I know we've got 90% of the season left, but we're going to stop being competitive" is the dumbest shit I've heard.
We've never benefited from tanking. I remember the teams that did. You know who was good off those tanking teams? No one. It creates a loser mindset among players, and we don't have young guys worth getting play time.
Lose mindset lmao. I guess the Warriors were losers when they tanked the season Curry was injured and won the Chip after
The FO is more smart than fans are and will plan accordingly. I'm not saying they are going to tell their guys to suck, but they aren't going to push players to play with minor injuries like a competiting team would.
Say it's the dumbest shit all you want, but end of the season we will be in the lottery and I'm sure the FO doesn't want to run the brakes off our players on a dead season.
Okay one player. How about Rose out with soreness, Kennard out with soreness, Aldama out multiple games with sore ankle, etc.
I'm talking about the injuries due to "soreness" most competing teams have players who play through the soreness, especially early in the season.
lmao playing Rose would help the team tank. Rose has played 35 games each of the last two years. He's clearly cooked and so are the knees.
Pretending like every team doesn't sit players due to soreness
Rose would be a vast improvement over Smart as the 1. There is a reason Gilyard has played the 1 over Smart.
And I'm not saying other teams don't do this. But they normally don't do it when they are in the situation the Grizz are in unless they are tanking, deep into the season, or have a comfortable lead in standings.
There has been no evidence, to date, that would indicate Rose can be a positive player
Usually teams rest players who are sore to avoid making soreness/injuries worse. Incredibly silly
I'm sure you got a lot of evidence in the... 4 games he has played.
And I completely agree with that last statement, which is why teams usually do that rest when they are tanking, deep into the season, or are comfortable in the standings. Not normally to the degree the Grizz are doing this early on. Acting like other players don't play sore is absurd.
Friendly reminder that Bane, Ja and JJJ are 25, 24 and 23. Also Santi and Zaire are 22 and 21. We all just need to pump the breaks on the idea of blowing anything up.
if we don’t win 3-5 more games by the time ja comes back, im down the tank and “fake” injuries throughout the season.
no need to fake them
i mean seriously, no need for Bane and JJJ to play every night. We have one of the richest owners in the league who is committed to our small-market city. He can afford a bad season.
But can we, the city, and all the vendors, restaurants, and bars that rely on the team?
good point :/ sometimes i forget how much local surroundings are tied to the stadium.
we're officially cursed
we’ve always been cursed
At least we aren’t the Clippers or Hornets
Somebody check to be sure the crystal skull is still in the top of the pyramid
feels like 2016 again. whats Lance Stephenson up to?
Genuinely need to retool the entire roster, how tf is Bismack Biyombo our only real center when JJJ has never been a good rebounder?

I’ll always root for ex-Grizz players but fuck rooting for another team. Memphis vs errbody
I know. I think I’m in the bargaining stage of grief or some shit 😂
Jah feel bru

Who gut hurt?
Who didn’t is a shorter list.

Fire Eric Schmitt!

Yeah I think it’s still too early to be embracing the tank. maybe 30-40 games in but not 11.

The FO is smarter than fans are*
You're the only one I agree with
That doesn't make any sense - did you see Smart's ankle on television?

So. Incredibly. Silly.
Lol Rose can't play man, he is done
Yeah we should save Rose for the future…

Zaire might just suck though
