Not great unfortunately. To be fair, he is playing with a bunch of 10 days that he met a week ago, but I doubt he gets a two way. He hasn’t done anything to make me think he can beat out Rupert, Mashack, or Small for one of those spots. He is averaging 10 3s taken per game, which is hilarious.

Rupert dropped a 30 point triple double the other day lol

Outjerked

Especially when you consider OKC and Denver are also having a tank-off. Though I think the 5-man lineup of Wiggins, McCain, Dort, Wiggins, and Branden Carlson could probably play the full 48 against that Jazz or Grizz lineup and win by 20.

Edit: 2 Wiggins would be OP. Meant to put Kenrich in there too.

I like to say/think, “I’d love to sit first row courtside for an NBA game, bucket list item, I don’t even care which teams and how bad they are”… Yeah maybe not this matchup.

Since trading JJJ the Grizzlies have been the most egregious tanking team in the league and it’s not close.

We will finish the season not having played a single game with fewer than 4 players injured (which would have still held true even if we weren’t tanking the back half of the year)

This is the part of tanking that’s just feels like the byproduct of a long season. They are going to fuck up there league even more without addressing the real issue of season length

lol no. You must not be following them. They have been “resting” their best players for a while. Ty Jerome was putting up 20 ppg in 25 min and they still benched him.

No lol

Worth mentioning that OMax is 6’7” tall. They’re playing a 6’7” guy at center and he’s not even Draymond Green.

I know one of these names and have heard of two others. The rest of these players are made up.

We don’t play doubtful players. For us, doubtful = “out but likely available next game”.  

How are they able to play G-League players from other teams?

I only know Rupert for dropping the most random 30pt triple double of all time

Taj is still on a roster??????

Anybody buying tickets to Grizzlies-Jazz in April knew what they signed up for.

Anyone who didn’t know that they were both tanking doesn’t know enough about the product to notice a difference.

If it was two good teams with the stars taking a rest day, I’d agree with you.

I do feel for people that bought tickets early in the season for this game. That being said if you willingly paid for Jazz-Grizzlies tickets after January when it became apparent that both team’s seasons were in the toilet, you knew full well what you were getting into.

Truly an imagination because nobody expects an April game between Grizzlies and Jazz to be the most delicious meal ever.

I’m sorry but this is a nonsensical analogy.

It’s more like going to a food court, and one of the restaurants there is out of pretty much everything, and what they do have is mostly their worst options. But they’re up front about that. And most people were never going to eat at that restaurant regardless. And there’s other food options.

A more accurate analogy is like paying for a mediocre burger, and then receiving it burnt and spat on, but if the restaurant does it enough times, they will unlock a juicy steak that you can order and they’ll serve it to you just as you like it

The warriors were clearly tanking their game against the Lakers last night. The entire 4th quarter they were playing a lineup with Leon’s, Cryer, Bassey, and Williams. Who even are these guys.

Who fucked up and won.

Grizz have been a fun tanking team to watch. They actually play the game unlike other teams.

Why?

9th to okc

Just be grateful the Thunder aren’t getting it

In fairness yall set the standard

lol, yall will pull guys having too good of games. Dont talk

Grizzlies fans bout to have the Bez Mbeng Experience.

The Bez Mbeng Experience is Bez playing 48 minutes.

Tbf denver is where this iteration of the grizzlies came crashing down

Same bro, same

The solution is simple– next year’d draft class isn’t as loaded, and this won’t be as big of an issue.

People are overreacting over a big year, and only because it’s the first time we’ve had this big of a draft since sports gambling has become legal.

Sorry buddy, we actually have to go get our own talent. I’d love to be spoon-fed all-NBA players if that was an option

Why is this Silvers fault?

This is why they’re flattening the odds btw

expansion still good bro

tbh its possible two more teams can help curb tanking, due to more competition.
