Yea Malone was absolutely not without his issues, don’t mean to be revisionist. But he also got the most out of the team (at least the guys he actually played) basically every game.

they’ve been surprisingly good at drafting for awhile now, shit they got both bane and Santi at 30th in the draft and also got brooks in the 2nd round. With all those draft picks they got im sure the rebuild is gonna go fine

masterpierround | Grizzlies

9 | 8 hours ago

They haven’t all been hits (LaRavia, Roddy), but since 2020, they’ve picked up Desmond Bane, Santi Aldama, GG Jackson, Jaylen Wells, and Cam Spencer with either pick 30 or a 2nd rounder. And even among the “misses”, it’s not like LaRavia or Vince Williams were useless, I’d say both of them pretty much performed to their draft positions.

And going forward, they’ll have their own lottery pick and whichever of the PHX and ORL picks are better this year, plus the Pacers 2nd, then next year they have their own pick, the Lakers pick, and the best of UTA, MIN, and CLE. Then going forward they have swaps in 2029 and 2030, plus an extra ORL pick in 2030 and an extra PHX pick in 2031. If Kleiman can keep drafting at this level, it should be a quick and effective rebuild, hopefully.

Professional-Play-38 | Rockets

3 | 7 hours ago

do yall think Zach edey would be in Memphis future? He seems pretty injury prone, but when he plays he plays like he’s a top 10 center itl

masterpierround | Grizzlies

3 | 7 hours ago

For sure, if he comes back healthy, the default lineup in the short term is probably Ja/Jerome/Coward/Santi/Edey with SPJ/Clayton/Spencer/Wells/Hendricks off the bench. They probably look to add another big, but then it’s literally just BPA. Another thing to keep an eye on is that in this offseason, KCP and Brandon Clarke will be about 34m of expiring salary, so combine that with the 5 1sts in ²⁰²⁶⁄₂₇, and the Grizzlies might be players in the trade market.

comp_a | Timberwolves

12 | 9 hours ago

Considering the constraints he’s had to operate under (cap allocations never above league average, superstar deciding to implode his career), Zach Kleiman really seems like he’s a fantastic GM.

masterpierround | Grizzlies

10 | 8 hours ago

Genuinely one of the best in the business. He’s been excellent at getting value for stars, excellent at drafting, and the one thing he does better than any other GM in my opinion is find cheap talent. Over and over, he’s found other team’s castoffs (Scotty Pippen Jr) or 2nd round picks (Jaylen Wells, GG Jackson, Cam Spencer) and he locks them in to 4 year, super cheap contracts, usually with a non-guaranteed 3rd year and a team option on the 4th year. When it doesn’t work (Killian Tillie, Jontay Porter, Kenny Lofton, Kennedy Chandler), the player gets cut for like 1 million of dead cap, which is no problem, but when it does work, the Grizzlies get a good bench player or low-end starter locked up for 4 years at like 2 million per year. Just the epitome of low risk, high reward, and it’s produced results over and over for the Grizzlies.

Thing is, it makes no sense why the Nuggets are running a tighter rotation than they did when they were incredibly injured. Jalen Pickett was looking like a rotational piece, Nnaji and Daron Holmes looked playable and now they are all raking up DNP - Coach Decisions like they are scrubs, even Strawther that started seeing more play recently has incredible limited minutes all while Bruce Brown continues to rack some of the worst minutes on the team.
I think there is a good coach in there, but its like they are back to playing politics just like when Malone was there.

kazyv | Mavericks

well, isn’t that run literally the point? he had no choice who to play because so many people were injured, i.e. he got lucky in terms of who was available to play and what kind of rotations were therefore resulting from it

now that he has almost all of his team, he can’t figure out good rotations.

couple really bad players tonight and its a brutal b2b getting there at 5am, but we should still win against the damn grizzlies

i really want to know what goes through adelman’s mind when he plays jamal on b2b when hes hurt, why in gods name do our bench players who already proved they can play real minutes just do not see any play at all, we just call timeouts and change nothing when some of our guys do literally fucking nothing on both ends, get this bum off my team

itsnotyellowfever | MEM

31 | 10 hours ago

Part of the issue with the Nuggets is they could easily give Jamal games off here and there if they were a normal team but instead they lose games to the Grizzlies down 7 players and to the Warriors down their entire starting 5 which forces them to treat games against the Nets and Pacers as do-or-die must-win games when OKC or Cleveland or Detroit is sitting out 11 guys and winning anyways

We’re honest to god Aaron Gordon merchants. It’s insane how the team falls apart when a single piece is missing now. We obviously looked tired from the b2b and apparently getting into Memphis and heading to bed at like 5:30 AM but even so, I just expect better from this team, I’ve seen us rise above in circumstances just as tough before. Ffs we just blew out the rockets then made a huge comeback win against the Spurs on a b2b and now we lose to the grizzlies??

Honestly feel like the Grizzlies have been more consistently competitive and fun to watch post-All-Star break when they’ve supposedly been “tanking”, than they were before.

Might just be the low stakes and guys playing for their careers, but it’s an enjoyable group to watch and makes the situation more palatable and late-season games still watchable.

It’ll be fun if Memphis can play spoiler like this to other playoff aspirants and affect seeding over the next couple of weeks. Of their remaining 12 games, all but 1 (Game 81 against Utah) is against other teams firmly still in the playoff/play-in picture.

Look at the minutes management for both teams. There is absolutely no excuse for this, especially on a back to back against a tanking team and you still lose. They played 9 guys tonight, two of them combined for 11 minutes. Adelman is really really pissing me off.

How likely are they to fire this guy? I know the Kronkes are cheap they don’t wanna pay for 2 fired coaches but this has to be done.

Joker has been so sloppy. His turnovers pretty much negated his positive impact.

I don’t even think the Nuggets played that bad overall. The Grizzlies just outplayed the shit out of them.

They were an absolute dogshit, turning the ball over and over again, a nonexistent defense and Jokic and Murray not existing

Facts are facts lol the nuggets can’t be a contender, play like how they did and get “outplayed” by a team on an 8 game losing streak without playing like dog

You absolutely can. Wins are not guaranteed. Bad teams can beat good teams. Remember how OKC lost to the Pacers? Obviously, Denver shouldn’t be losing to bad teams like this now, but it’s not the end of the world. Everyone on the team has been playing pretty well recently and Watson is also coming back this week just in time for the playoffs. It’s not all bad for the Nuggets

E_boiii | Thunder

Okc lost to the pacers by 3 when 5 key players were out and Shai dropped 47 on 60% fg

The pacers also beat the Knicks they’re tanking and not as bad as they lead on.

Denver just didn’t show up today, your best player not taking shots for half the game isn’t outplayed.

They did nothing to take the Grizzlies out of their game offensively and then were surprised that they upped the intensity to 11 despite being down half their team

That’s one of the big issues with them in a playoff series - they do nothing to bother the opposing offense then get to face defenses that don’t need more motivation to play full court faceup defense and front aggressively

Tank you very much, Grizzlies, and Pelicans for winning today! Now, both of your teams are 4 wins ahead of my Jazz in tankathon standings. I lowkey thought the Grizzlies wouldn’t win anymore games for the remaining of the season, but this Grizzlies win helps my Jazz tank a lot!

The Grizzlies really aren’t competing with the Jazz in terms of tanking tbh. The Jazz, Kings, Nets, Wizards, and Pacers are kind of in a league of their own at this point. Grizzlies, Pelicans, and Mavs are the big movement zone.

JumboHotdogz | Thunder

Being in 5th place in the draft odds is weird spot because you’re more likely to drop down to 6-8 than 1-5. Actually 5th place picking 5th is the least probable event outside of it falling to 9th. Jazz gotta tank to 4th

Media darling Jokic has been worse than Luka for months now and has the same flaws, if not worse

Yet .the media still manages to slurp him and bash Luka. All because he got to play the 8 seed Heat (not Jokic slander)

all of a sudden suns/spurs tomorrow looks a lot more interesting, and Denver has to be real careful here not to wind up in the playin.

will be interesting to see how close the race for the 1 seed gets, cause the last two on their schedule is Spurs then Thunder. will either be (nearly) free wins or really difficult matchups at a critical point

Absolutely pathetic effort from most of the team. Obviously disgusting back to back getting into Memphis at 5:00am then having to play that night, but you look at the Grizzlies roster tonight and that can’t be an excuse for this when they’re fighting for home court in round 1.

The Grizzlies clearly schemed for this and in addition to fantastic energy all game and backcourt pressing they had a plan to be overly physical with Jokic and hard double at the nail. I thought the refereeing was bad and they probably should’ve shot another 10FTs but it was the turnovers that decided this one. 27 points for the Grizzlies off turnovers and Jokic was definitely the worst culprit. A couple he got hacked but most of them were careless passes, slow telegraphed moves or just not meeting the physicality with no whistle to save him.

You really can tell we’re gonna be in for a long fucking night when Jokic is playing drop from the restricted area. Especially against a short handed team who is going to be letting it fly from 3.

This team has had such a fucking ridiculous schedule this year along with the injuries and it shows cos they’re unable to summon a serious effort so often. Everyone needs a week off which they won’t get cos they’re in a seeding battle. Will be super tough meeting a well rested SAS or OKC in the second round (provided they get there).

Over the last week or so, every Denver loss other than tonight has been a nail-biter. Their remaining schedule probably has them going 9-3, maybe even better because OKC and SAS will start resting their guys with their seeding secured. And they’re just 2.5 games behind the 3rd seed. Yet you go on their PGT and it’s just doom and gloom. I don’t quite get it, tbh.

A starting line up of 4 21-23yr olds and one 28yr old has got to be up there in the youngest starting lineups. And they were all very productive and got the win.

Firing Malone was the biggest mistake in Nuggets history. You don’t fire a coach that’s been with your two best players since day 1.

Nuggets had literally 0 depth in the season they decided to fire him. He tried playing P. Watts and Strawther. They were utter ass. Nuggets were still one of the top seeds.

Him beefing with the GM was a poor excuse to fire him. Adelman just doesnt have the same fire to him. Malone always checked the refs for their bullshit when players were allowed to hang on Jokic.. Grab him and shit while shooting/passing.

Jokic has always had poor whistle but this season might be the worst whistle i’ve ever seen a player have.

I’ll be in line to throw stones at the Nuggets play tonight, but saving the biggest rock for Silver and this fucking schedule. Most back to backs, fewest days at home, and we wonder why this teams been injured.

Playing the late game last night, then not being able to start the plane (??), and getting to the hotel at 6am scheduling the loss, but I know the connoisseurs in here will leave that out.

At least this nuggets L gives these Jokić/Nuggets haters some fresh material for the circle jerk tonight. Those crusty keyboards are gettin some work.
