Sometimes a bunch of dudes you never heard of make a bunch of shots and that’s just ball. GG grizzlies

sloBrodanChillosevic | Supersonics

The Grizzlies are a really solid group of players that have lacked basic NBA necessities (point play & center play) for the vast majority of the season.

TrulyNotABot | Grizzlies

Yes those two positions have been hit hardest by injuries: Ja, Ty, Pippen, Edey, and Clarke

flaming_burrito_ | Lakers

18 | 20 hours ago

That’s the tragic thing about the Grizzlies right now, they are actually a really good front office that has drafted some great talent. They just keep getting hit with injury or some other random controversy (mostly Ja). If they were healthy and their star player was more consistent, they’d be a pretty good team.

boofnbafn | Grizzlies

3 | 18 hours ago

The FO are good at drafting but they have been hit or miss on trades. Also there is a sentiment in the grizz sub that they are a bit too fast to pivot away from some players and trading/not extending. Always trying to find the next hidden gem in the draft

Krillin113 | 76ers

They have a lot of nba talent, but (partly due to injuries) lack any semblance of upper talent to consistently get them there.

don’t get it twisted. JJJ is a solid player but gets hated on r/nba because they value individual rebounds a lot for some reason

just ignore that Grizzlies are still a top 2 rebounding team in the league

purplenyellowrose909 | Timberwolves

14 | 20 hours ago

If I had to build an anti-Timberwolves team, JJJ would get like 40 min on it. Too big for Randle and Naz. Too agile for Rudy.

Edit: and he’s in the division now lol

To be fair I think all teams have mental lapses but without question minny is the weakeast mentally to me. Look at GSW last year, Denver, and minny minny was so fucking soft at times compared to them. Even the corpses of GSW met and challenged hou physically. Minny just fucking dies some games it’s weak imo

Easy… Just don’t have any superstars and be where no superstar wanna play. Can’t spend the money even if you want to 💀

Also, our culture is just really been good for a long time (regardless of what this sub says). No matter who comes to Memphis they seems to really play hard except for Chandler Parsons. Fuck that guy forever.

IceTruckHouse | Timberwolves

4 | 11 hours ago

Grizzlies can clearly draft well. They have good playable depth and top end talent in JJJ. If Ja got back into form and they hired new strength and training staff the Grizzlies would again be very good in the west.

I honestly think Jaylen Wells has as much respect as a defender as you can get from Ant. Wells guards him well and does a fairly good job of doing it without fouling. Goofy officiating tonight where they called Wells on some marginal contact on pump fakes but not Landale or JJJ when they hacked Ant on layups.

Morezingis | Timberwolves

60 | 21 hours ago

25% shooting by our bench. They are fully responsible for losing this game for us.

53-13 bench scoring.

Get Conley out of this rotation, I can’t handle saying this every night. Shot 27% in January. 22% in December. And Ant has to play alongside him, Clark, and Rudy - we ALWAYS lose those minutes. They’re free to triple-team Ant for fucks sake.

I like Finch but he’s stubborn as fuck

eddie-murphys-tongue | Timberwolves

25 | 21 hours ago

Seriously Mike needs to pick up a quarter zip and a clipboard. Shooting 32.7% from the field

Andy_Wiggins | Timberwolves

10 | 20 hours ago

Mike Conley has shot 3 for his last 26 over his past 8 games.

That is 11.5%.

He’s played at least 14 minutes per game in every game during that stretch.

Lacabloodclot9 | Grizzlies

7 | 21 hours ago

I love him but is there any world where Conley should be playing over Dillingham?

Or is he even worse rn

lawschoolthrowaway36 | Lakers

18 | 21 hours ago

When I’ve watched Dillingham he’s looked completely unplayable

ottersbelike | Timberwolves

16 | 21 hours ago

Mike Conley can still be trusted to dribble the ball up the court and complete a pass. Rob not so much.

purplenyellowrose909 | Timberwolves

4 | 20 hours ago

Mike’s defense surprisingly holds up pretty well. He just doesn’t have the body to play both offense and defense at a high level anymore

DisMeDog

At one point early in the first quarter the announcer said he didn’t like the applause Conley got when he checked in because he is a Memphis legend (100% true) but I was just thinking it has been 6 years since this dude was in Memphis. He should not be playing serious minutes on a team trying to compete.

Lacabloodclot9 | Grizzlies

5 | 20 hours ago

Wait why didn’t they like it?

He’s a top 2 greatest player in franchise history he’s always going to get a lot of love and deservedly so

RubbedMyNutsOnUrFood

Wolves would have the top offer for Giannis right now if they didn’t make the Gobert trade

Thimit22 | Timberwolves

11 | 21 hours ago

Wolves wouldn’t be an attractive team if we didn’t make that trade in the first place. Ant is now a seasoned playoff player because of it

RubbedMyNutsOnUrFood

-6 | 21 hours ago

since when are Wolves an attractive team now? even KD turned them down

Ant already made playoffs before Gobert and was only 20 years old. he had plenty of time to get playoff experience. zero reason to trade a bunch of assets to pair him up with a 32 year old

Thimit22 | Timberwolves

2 | 20 hours ago

So this is just Gobert hate? He is probably the biggest floor raiser in the league. We got wrecked by the Grizzlies, then Nuggets and then turned into a WCF team twice in a row. I’m not the hugest fan of Gobert but he’s made this team a perennial contender since he got here

Isthismynextusername | Timberwolves

1 | 20 hours ago

Don’t bother, he only shows up when the Wolves lose to troll. He’s too ashamed to show his post history but he’s a Warriors fan

Thimit22 | Timberwolves

1 | 20 hours ago

Ahh I see. I hope we get them again with a healthy Steph

RubbedMyNutsOnUrFood

0 | 20 hours ago

he turned them into that? no, the progression of Ant turned them into that

Gobert got played off the floor constantly last playoffs

Thimit22 | Timberwolves

0 | 20 hours ago

Rudy helped us get to the playoffs and also played well there to get Ant experience. He doesn’t get played off the floor. He’s a walking top 10 defense

RubbedMyNutsOnUrFood

0 | 20 hours ago

Wolves already made playoffs before Gobert trade lol

uhh check how many minutes Gobert averaged last playoffs. Finch also benched him multiple times in 4th quarter

Thimit22 | Timberwolves

1 | 20 hours ago

And the Wolves didn’t do shit in the playoffs before him is what I’m saying. Also Finch can be an idiot sometimes, including tonight. Should have played Rudy more

RubbedMyNutsOnUrFood

1 | 20 hours ago

yea because Ant was just 20. they literally won less reg season and playoff games in Gobert’s 1st year. it was Ant’s continual development that elevated Wolves, not Gobert

they had no reason to rush it in 2022 anyways. Ant was just 20 years old

But also, the team wouldn’t be coming off back to back Conf Finals and wouldn’t nearly be as accomplished and attractive as they are. So it’s hard to say

RubbedMyNutsOnUrFood

who cares about gettting smoked 4-1 in WCF lol. a real superstar pushes them to Finals

RestaurantOne9

1 | 20 hours ago

You’re not understanding what I’m saying. Ant would not be the player he is today without the mentorship of Rudy, as well as the sustained success of the team. On top of that, Giannis wouldn’t want to go to a team that had shown little success.

RubbedMyNutsOnUrFood

mentorship of Rudy? LOL WHAT

what’s Rudy teaching Ant? anti-vaxx conspiracies? how Fauci should be thrown in jail? how crystals have healing properties?

Refs let the Grizz get away with everything in the 3rd when the Wolves were trying to come back and then said sike and proceeded to give Ant every single call possible (and then some) in the 4th.

Waffleshuriken | Grizzlies

Cam needs to play off ball to really unlock his game.

He’s not bad as a ball handler in a pinch, but unsustainable long term. He’s been playing PG out of necessity. Its not really his role
