Memphis misses shots, opportunity to secure first NBA Cup win

1. Do any of us have any faith in our ability to make shots anymore? Maybe this happens to other teams just like the Grizzlies, and I just don't see those games, but this happens too often. We're not going Anywhere if we can't consistently do what we're paid to do. The smallest narrative pressure, cracks the Grizzlies if Ja isn't there.

   Even more than that. Who thinks we'll ever be full strength 😑

2. As long as the Grizz have JA…in and out of the line-up for the REST of the year….no cohesion! A play-in team at best!!!!

3. • Marcus Smart has been a massive waste of money and time.

   • The injuries across all pro sports needs to be assessed. How is this even possible to have guys dropping EVERY dam game!? What are the odds?

4. Must supa hard to buy those high ticket tickets when they play like that. It felt like Santi vs the nuggets. This was supposed to be a dub.

5. Also..I’ve been sayin it. Luke is overpriced and overrated. I don’t know who we need to get but him, BC and probably Marcus need to go. I’m a fan of Jay Huff but we actin like he’s a supa star and just lettin him chuck up shots from the arc. I will say Slaw been a consistent surprise lately.
   That Vince injury took me out.

6. Like I said this been 6yrs they still the same should be better than this I'm sorry Luke can't shoot since he been a grizzlies Marcus been hurt or a no show since been a grizzlies everybody's hurt don't get me talking about Jenkins your coach is the back bone of the team just don't see passion in Jenkins to get his team hyped they need a tough nose coach that's going to hold them accountable Jenkins took this team far as he could I think

7. Bane is just not that good…He’s okay…He would be a reserve on a very good team

8. Can we stop with this NBA cup nonsense?
   And we should not try to be like the modern NBA and only hurl threes, we should develop our mid range game since we are passing up too many opportunities for wide open shots there.

9. I'm not sure I've ever seen a team get this many open 3 point shots and can't convert them. The spacing is there, but we can't hit anything. The injury thing is also a huge problem. I have given up on ever seeing this team healthy as currently constructed. Snake-bitten!

10. Too many miles on their body from AAU to get ranked. Then to add, this generation is softer.

    This equals alot of games missed.

11. We’re such a joke of a team right now.

12. Ja got to STOP Chasing Highlights and Injuring Himself. The team NEEDS Him EVERY GAME. Not for a few games at a time. Dammit mane

13. Ratings are down because your paying to watch players that are either not available physically or mentally night after night.

14. Will Jenkins make it through the season? I believe we need a Change like Cavs did

15. Depth should be the priority for every NBA team the way these stars can’t stay healthy

16. TURNOVERS!!!

17. I really need for someone to question Taylor hard about these lineups and why we are limiting all these guys minutes. It’s hard to watch them play when you have no clue who you are watching. Playing 11 guys ain’t it either. Another season of a slow start.

18. Trade Bane for a $35m 3&D wing

19. Our only respectable win this season came against the Magic. Every win we have is against a team below .500. This loss wouldn’t be as tough if we didn’t drop both Brooklyn games and the Bulls game. With the second highest scoring bench in the league at some point you have to point the finger at the coach. These rotations have been questionable and maybe Jaren is our go to guy even on a fully healthy team.

20. Ima be straight up blunt and honest we need better players frfr these undrafted and 2nd round picks are starting to look like what they are fr we need more known and more 1st round draft picks every player on our team is on a 2 way deal or came from a 2 way it’s time we trade for some real talent fr and our coach isn’t making anything better he plays Scottie too much I like Scottie but Scottie is not an starter he can’t play many mins without fouling out or missing a ton of shots we NEED MORE TALENT and Another coach last game we shot like 18% from 3 on top of we always running zone on teams who lights out from 3 coach game is gettin old and exposed time to move on frfr

21. One word that will explain the struggles till hopefully January…injuries.

22. Tj the winningest coach in Grizz history….nothing but just a big shoulder shrug for me.

23. Grizzlies need to consult Dr. Jack Kruse… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RuE8avfRc8

24. Newsflash… the grizzlies are year upon year one of the lowest producing teams from the perimeter and the heaviest producing in the paint. That lends to more injuries. The more you shoot the less contact. The more you bang in the paint and get fouled the more injured you are. That’s one of the reasons why teams are shooting more. To avoid injury
