Ain’t got much positive to say so I’ll just wish y’all safety and warmth in this upcoming storm. Love most of y’all

Guys look! I got tankathon to give us the #1 pick after 50 simmed lotteries
Blow it up
TI is not a NBA head coach.
Fragile egos. Fragile bodies. Weak minds. Weak spirits.
I feel like I’ve watched this exact game play out a dozen times this season
is everyone finally going to join me in the sun and embrace the tank?
Terrible management of timeouts and challenges used from TI
Not much to say than the tank is on
Sucks to lose all these close ones but it give me hope when we get a couple pieces back. Stay safe in Memphis y’all, on to Sunday.
I know some dont want to hear it but that’s a great loss for the future of the franchise.
We need this mountain of injured players to come back and actually play games for us. I’m amazed our record is as good as it is.
Bey couldn’t miss. We also couldn’t make a wide open look for most of the 4th
Beautiful. We tankin now
This team isn’t winning shit this year with or without Ja. Love the tank, embrace the tank.
Jaren spontaneously combusted in the clutch AGAIN
Both Jock and JJJ with around 20 points each at the half and 10 between them in the 2nd, nice adjustment.
Not that bad during 3 quarters.
Then 4th happens.
5 TOs for Wells. Now I see why he never passes the ball

ALL ABOARD!
Ugh. So over this team RN TBH.

Time for Verno’s code switching.
So many freaking single digit losses that we lose in the 4th… I know it’s frustrating as hell to watch, and I acknowledge that I’m hardcore coping, but I truly believe that if we get our 5 injured guys back (or for the first time – looking at you Ty…) that we win damn every one of our close games. With Edey cleaning the glass and keeping the other team’s second chance points down, with a healthy Ja, aka Mr 4th Q finisher, SPJ coming in instead of Small, and getting some size and hopefully some scoring from Santi and Ty, I really believe we’re a completely different team who is very hard to beat. But will we ever be healthy? That’s the real question….
Turnovers 16-10. Offensive rebounds 17-10. These alone will sink most teams most nights.
We see these types of deficits most nights.
This game has honestly been the story of the last 3 years. It’s only right
Again, i want a higher draft position before the lottery but i will never be not heart broken with then lose 😭
43 games in and the point is ?! We fucking SUCK
Those of y’all in Memphis/West Tennessee/North Mississippi/all of Arkansas/Louisiana take care this weekend. I hope y’all keep safe and warm and don’t have any outages. Supposedly, it won’t be quite as bad for us in North Alabama. Love y’all and I’m thinking about you!
**ALL MY POSTGAME THOUGHTS**
>***”****You can’t win AND tank. You have to do one or the other.”*
–*Some really smart, gorgeous woman, obviously*
That’s it. Those are my thoughts.
Careless turnovers were effing BRUTAL!
TI feels like he should/will end up as one of those career-long assistant coaches who are well regarded for a specific area or scheme.
Good mind – and I often defend him – but the game management is weak enough that you have to start wondering. Might even boil down to a Euroleague vs. NBA strategic difference he can’t bridge.
