  5. Grizzlies This Season:

    Is Opponent Good: Loss

    Is Opponent Bad: Win

    Does not apply to the Wizards

  7. We are mentally soft and consistently get trashed by other teams. Embarrassing to watch this team

  8. I’m not convinced we’re actually trying to win games. Some of these turnovers look legitimately intentional.

  9. This team is a joke that cannot beat good teams. Fuck I hate losing to the fucking lakers.

  12. Buncha stuff with this one, but I gotta say it. There are WAY too many games where Jaylen is an absolute black hole on offense. Like glaringly so.

  13. It was going to be tough to overcome Luka and the refs but damn man you gotta ride the hot hand. Hopefully coach learns from this one

  14. I can’t think of the last game where we made the right decisions with under 5 minutes left, and several where we made a ton of the wrong ones.

  17. Game was decided at the line both in how many the Grizz missed and how many Luka got.

  18. Not a bad game for most of it, but having Ja on the floor takes Cam off in a way that means Cam isn’t getting looks off-ball, and that is really limiting potential on rallies when we need them.

  19. +/- doesn’t tell it all….but, holy shit does it confirm what I saw—-our bench should have had more minutes.

  20. Textbook Grizz at Lakers game. Slow start, bad refs, parades to the FT line, opposing players snapping cold spells, keep it close and ultimately lose in the end. We’ll see if anything changes Sunday.

  21. Starting two rookies who shot cheeks while they start two ex grizz we didn’t want who shot well hurts

  23. Sunday is winnable. Please come out with intensity and do it.

    Koloko doesn’t need to see the court much Sunday. Even if you don’t love the fit with Jaren, play jock at least 25 mins.

    Smart and LaRavia 13/21 from the field and 6/12 from three. Fuck that.

  24. I said in another thread but the easy part of the schedule ended and we choked three games away to close it.

    Good news is that we should still be able to finish in the play-in with all these injuries — and could actually look good with a healthy roster.

    Bad news would be setting up another 1 vs. 8 against OKC. The margin for error was always going to be tiny this season.

  25. Jaylen and Cedric forgettable performances did it for us. Missed way too many easy and wide open buckets… whatever.

    BUT

    Jaren non stop fouling through the first three quarters hurt especially when he should be dominating a team that can’t guard him and Ja with 0 effort on defense and some timely turnovers really sealed it. I don’t know how you can watch Ja play and think he’s a winning/overall impactful player.

  26. Something always goes wrong. If the starters are good, the bench is bad. 

    Did not expect down games from Coward and Wells (offensively). Everyone on this team is inconsistent though except for maybe Edey. 

  27. Ced not good in away game. Again. This is mental issue not actual skills. Will be fixed in the future for sure!

  31. remember when skinny Luka was on the cover of the Slam magazine last summer and everyone was panicking about what it’ll do to his game? this is pretty much the absolute fucking lamest way it could’ve gone lol

  32. I’ll repost this here: Fuck it. We played like shit, we’re cold AF from the field and the stripe, had Luka and LeBron disregarding the rules of basketball and getting away with it, and the refs just fucking hosed us all night. Yet, we still had a chance to win late in the game. Just forget about it, keep everyone out of trouble on the off day in LA, and get their punk ass on Sunday!

  33. You’ll never win a game where Wells and Coward are a combined 4-22

    Shoutout KCP for picking up the slack

  34. I can’t take it anymore. The injuries. We’re cursed. My theory is that someone from the Pelicans hired a witch from New Orleans to hex us and I’m not sure when it will be lifted or if it ever will be
