Grizzles just tied the NBA single game 3 point record with 29 3PM
They lost by 16 points. They were fouling the Cavs in order to get more shots. This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.
Reading the title and then “they lost by 16 points” is hilarious
Welcome to the NBA in 2026
Wouldnt people want good shooting nights to -not- be automatic wins? Seems like that was a common complaint no long ago despite not really checking out for actual title runs of weak shooting teams [lakers, bucks, okc just in this decade]
No? I mean I guess I can only speak for myself here but personally I’d rather a crazy record like this being broken mean that the record breaker was actually having a great game.
Agreed.
Warriors get clowned for the 73 win season but lost in the finals. Not winning the chip doesn’t actually affect or change the record itself, just our perception of its importance.
Memphis hits a huge 3 to cut it to 42
And also ties the single game record
Tungsten arm vibes
They must really not want to move to Nashville
To be fair, they only started fouling for 3s with like 1:30 left once they realized we were tied with the record at 29. I didn’t mind it. I think they fouled 2 or 3 times to try and get it but it wouldn’t fall.
Blazers also set a franchise record for 3PM (25) and lost tonight.
Reminds me of that one Melo pasta
Majority of the Rockets games 🫠😫
Blazers are about to beat it in the same day. 16-30 in the first half.
Celtics made 10 in the first quarter and 17 in the first half against the Knicks last year, but couldn’t seal the deal. It’s hard to get that last one
They were LAUNCHING in the second half too.
The end of the game looked like a clown show and they couldn’t seal the deal.
One of these days the boys in green will get the record.
The Celtics seem like the perfect team to get this record. A lot of guys can heat up, and they’re willing to let it fly.
But beating the shooting prowess of Adama “Not a Ball Brother” Bal, Dariq “The Pimple” Whitehead, and Lucas “Black Guy with a Generic White Guy Name” Williamson will be tough.
Pretty sure the bench squad went like 0-12 or something in the 4th quarter trying to get the record
Hilarious stuff
Pritchard and Hauser were letting it fly from everywhere, it was a great watch
Subscribe
0 for 6 to start the second half it’s not happening
They got close enough with 25. Two teams hitting 54 combined in one NBA night is pretty crazy.
And they both lost haha
Tied for 23rd in most 3PA in a game, so honestly, very efficient shooting from distance.
Yeah they were 29-59 (49%) from three! They probably should’ve taken more
We literally were fouling in the last 2 minutes to try and get more 3PA to try to break it.
And they still somehow lost by double digits to Cavs team without half their players lol
I challenge you to name 3 players that played for us tonight without looking at the box score
😂😂 u got me
Thats easy, my drunk neighbor his nephew and his dog
is it your drunk neighbors dog or is it his nephews dog? Please clear this up for me asap, thanks
“There’s no rule a dog can’t play basketball”
Edey
Ja
Zach Randolph
Easy
Jeff Easy?
The Memphis Financier??
GG Jackson, coward, Spencer?
Well done! You know ball. Probably the most recognizable ones along with Omax. It gets real bleak after that lol
How has my goat Omax been for yall
We love omax. He’s the new Brandon clark
Rip 😔
Real solid! Earned a full contract and plays with a ton of energy. His 3 point shot has come along as well. Should be getting bench minutes and occasional spot starts (on an admittedly very bad team) next year. Super happy we picked him up.
rip. fuck nico
Yall need to put the ball in Cam Spencer hands bruh. I was feasting with him my parlays
On a serious tip though, the rest of them dudes aren’t real point guards.
You did it. The wild thing is, those three shot a combined 20 shots and none played more than 21 minutes. The tank is real.
Coward a +19 in 17 minutes as a starter in a 16 point loss is crazy work.
Yep. He is one of the only bright spots this year.
Ethical
Those three had a combined five of our TWENTY-NINE 3 point makes. And this is us tanking
This is too good. Honestly our 3 guys that shot 10+ 3PAs are not players I would name and I follow the team.
I watched the game and I really had to think hard to get to 3.
I’m Ja Morant and I can only name 2
While that might be true, wtf are they fouling in a loss to break a record?
Half of these guys will never play in the NBA again. I’d want that too
Plus, they only started fouling for the potential record breaker (which would have already been broken had a 3 not been waved off by a Cavs take foul)
Marth Gasol
I saw someone on twitter tonight saying the Cavs were playing the “Grizzlies” tonight and didn’t know what they meant by the quotation but now I get it lol jesus
Truly insane that GG Jackson is a grizzled veteran on this team.
I looked at the box score and I still can’t. I’m pretty sure there were multiple Memphis players that don’t even have a portrait on the NBA site.
I want to play! GG Jackson, Coward, and Wells?
Unfortunately Wells is out for the year with a broken toe. 2⁄3 ain’t bad
Dang, second year in a row he’s dealt with injuries. Hopefully, he’s not too injury prone. I like watching him.
First one was a freak injury so im not too worried.
[deleted]
He got shipped to Utah with JJJ. Still heartbroken
That’s hilarious
Grizzles had 10 guys on their IR tonight.
We are tanking my man.
Meanwhile in the NCAA title game, it took 27 minutes for Michigan to make their first 3
Real basketball heads were watching the Grizzlies G-league team play the Spida and Hardenless Cavs
This shits been fugly ass basketball from the jump
The fact that a bunch of rookies and 10 days very nearly held sole possession of this record is absolutely hilarious. Sad they couldn’t get the last one
Sad they couldn’t get the last one
That’s the Basketball Gods deciding they took the joke too far
Not really. I and four of my friends could break the record if we only shot threes and fouled enough. We would lose by a couple hundred, but hold the record.
Lmfao. You and your buddies aren’t getting a shot off
You think you and your buddies could put up 90 points against the Cavs?
Sure, we foul every time they touch the ball. Game would last all day, but we’re getting our 30 threes.
You’d go 2⁄93 lmao
Plus if that’s your strategy, and you get a full team of 15 of your buddies, you still only get 90 fouls before your entire team fouls out. So I hope you guys can shoot 33% against an NBA team lol
We get unlimited fouls though, they would just get a technical foul shot after everyone but the last 5 foul out. lol
This is some Vivek “what if we just left a cherry picker under the basket and only played with 4 defenders for the whole game” madness.
You and your friends wouldn’t be able to inbound the ball.
You and your buddies could build a house brick by brick😪😭
epitome of delusion. or bait.
Hitting 29 3s and still losing by 16 is impressive
The tallest guys we have are GG Jackson and OMax and they are both really SFs. This is basically a G League roster and the majority of the minutes were done by 10 day hardship guys. We ran a lineup out last game that was literally 5 SGs. It was wild.
We are absolutely devastated by injuries (15 guys on the injury list last game that didn’t play) but also a sneaky tanking move is that with all these hardship exceptions, we’ve just been signing guys that are 6’3” and one 6’6” guy and most of them don’t even start on their G League team. Mind you, our starting Center on the Memphis Hustle has had multiple 40pt double doubles in the last couple weeks and we have other bigs that have put up 40+ and we haven’t signed one of those guys. We’ve started Jahmai Mashack at Center a couple times and he’s a a 6’4” wing on a Two Way. It’s like the ultimate summer league roster. It’s been kind of fun once you take it for what it is. Rayan Rupert has a 32pt triple double last game as a Two Way! He joins Marc Gasol and Ja Morant as the only 30pt triple doubles in the team’s history.
One of our 10 day guys expires tomorrow and if we sign another player, we break the NBA record that we set and will have had 34 different players on the roster this season.
With all that being said, your revolving door cast gave us our last loss in 10 games, and I’m nervous about our game on Wednesday.
With a bunch of g-leaguers at that
Peep the roster that suited up tonight to make this extra funny lol
Team equivalent to bam 83
Thats what we call heat culture
add it to the list of things not on my bingo card for this year lol
Only the grizzlies can tie the 3pt record and still lose by 16
There’s an art to ethically tanking and trying to give the home crowd something to be excited about
That’s not true, 29 other teams passed on these “Tom Bradys”.
Now they can only kick themselves and read the record books knowing it could have been them.
Half of these dudes weren’t on a team a month ago.
Finally news that isn’t shitting on our people, city, hotels, or financials. I will take it!
Modern NBA is goofy sometimes lol
Honestly, out of the five guys on the floor, I can only name one.
The league is way too permissive. This is becoming a circus.
I just made 33 by myself in 2k so not really impressed
LeBron this is for you!!
Memphis FO wanted a wizard high analytical next basketball mind coach but forgot you need to give him players
that’s just lazy.
Losing by that much and fouling to chase a record in the same game is disgusting
Cavs shot ~33% from 3 and still managed over 60% from the field. That is… kind of mind boggling.
And not 1 free throw
Celtics. Grizzles. Bucks.
Live by the 3. Die by the 3.
I’ve watched us choke this record so many times that having it be the Grizzlies would have been cathartic.
So… the Grizzlies are staying Memphis after all? lol
“I’m leaving here with something.”
I miss OMAX
crazy how far the grizzlies have fallen ever since Ja wanted to play tuff
They led the cavs for the first half lol say what you want, and mind that half the roster is g league players
Memphis Grizzlies sidebar please.
They won the spreadsheet and lost the game by 16.
NBA is so funny, man
More fouls in order to prolong silly records? Heat culture
That box score makes me uncomfortable, I can’t believe they lost with that stat let alone by 16.
The NBA has lost all integrity haha. This is some DraftKings betting bullshit right here 100%
29 threes is absurd. The Cavs defense had to have just completely broken down at some point because that kind of volume from behind the arc is a total system failure.
They were fouling to get more shots? Surely this will get the same hate Bam and the Heat received and show it wasnt just because a Kobe record was broken?
The Who did the what now?
So this is basketball now. Intentionally fouling down double digits.
Wonderful.
Basketball feels very broken this year between this and the Bam game.
Any team and/or player can break a record in the modern day NBA because no team wants to compete.
