  1. People underestimate the suns a lot. They just beat the thunder, then the next night lost by one possession to the rockets. Suns beaten the spurs twice and a lot of other good teams. Suns are a dangerous team!

  2. Here's our new anthem Joe.
    Our dogs don't fight,
    Our dogs don't bite,
    Our dogs are happy just being polite,
    Say get'em boy, nope sike
    Our dogs won't bite
    Say Memphis, Memphis, Memphis them the dogs we like

  3. Translation…
    -hawks traded one Trae Young for a pair of Traes…he shoots 41%fg and 31% on threes. Good luck.
    -JJJ sucks the life out of the offense and makes the team stagnate
    -GG should stay in the starting line up once Coward returns. He's the only other guy with a bag if they unchained him
    -The only hustle in Memphis is the G league squad. Too many guys not going all in
    – Memphis may be the only team where players get hurt while on IR
    -Aldama is underperfoming his contract
    – the grizz need a real PG and Daniss Jenkins of the piston is available. Will they chancevit.
    -MOVE THE DAMN BALL!! why does it seems lkke everyone wants to be a hero. Its ok to swinv the ball around and find mismatches or drive and kick
    – UNFORCED TURNOVERS
    – GOOD NIGHT Dillon the Villain

  4. Getting embarrassed by Jake LaRavia and Dillon Brooks in the span of a week… The Grizzlies just can’t stop being humiliated.

  5. The funny thing is. We've already beat the Spurs twice. Beat OKC, beat LA, beat Minnesota. Yet you all seem to think what we are doing is a fluke. Oh we beat San Antonio, Phx will be an easy win. Teams better start waking up. If you are a sub .500 team and you don't bring your A game all night long, there is a high chance you will be beat. If you are above .500, you had better bring your A game all night long. We don't quit, and we don't 'take the night off' for the crap teams. Memphis just found that out.

  6. Ja needs to get his shit together or Memphis needs to get rid of him. I actually started watching the Grizzlies because of Ja and I am not a happy fan right now.

  7. Looks like the team is gonna linger along till the playoffs in the play-in spot in hopes that most of these injured guys come back. Somehow getting it together in a short time to make some run. I mean, who can you trade? What could you possibly do to improve 'this' version of the roster when you got nearly 8 dudes hurt the whole year? Unless you have definite reports of certain guys ruled injured for the rest of the season, you're hands are tied till you see what you got. That won't happen till way after the deadline. Coaching is one thing, but you can't even properly evaluate Iisalo's talent because your main guys are hurt. Excuses, excuses I know. But if you have what looks like your bench, plus Jaren starting and playing huge minute and expect a winning team? Oh boy…

  8. Ja needs to shut it down for the season. He keeps getting the same injury. If they can't make a run till February they might as well shut down Jaren too.

  9. Just heard a rumor from anonymous source…Memphis is speaking to pelicans about a trade..
    -Santiago Aldama
    -GG Jackson
    -KCP
    To pels for
    -Trey Murphy
    -Jose Alverado
    -2026 pick swap

    Let's see what happens. Keep ya eyes open. If

  10. The Suns were two steps faster. The back to back considering player availability was a factor but overall credit goes to Phoenix… they flat out handled business.

    Not many teams with a long injury list are true rotational players like our list. We have not had true consistent health since Ja’s second season, the Utah playoff run. Champions have consistency.. we are 4-5 years removed from that at this point.

    All star voting; some bigger market non deserving players get homer votes. Memphis as a whole doesn’t do that, if we don’t have a player deserving we are not voting them (again as a whole/majority). No knock from me on those who do.
