Shout out Marvin Bagley tho

They better not make me get 3 more lobotomies
0-0 start game 2.
That was a disaster.
OKC are too bad a matchup for us and then they just smushed us into paste.
Hopefully can bounce back and be a lot more competitive
Only 3 more games and our misery is over
Shai goes 4-13 and we lose by 50. Time to do some soul-searching.
Jaren Jackson has to wake up, he’s been absolutely terrible for the past 2 weeks and it’s starting to become a serious problem at how poor he is playing off of Ja
Bagley was the MVP. Awful game all around. Come back better next game. Love this team.
Maybe we should’ve kept our pick idk idk idk
Whatever. At least it’s over
Marvin Bagley being the bright spot in the year of our lord 2025 is something I never thought I would see
Well that was not worth waking up at 3am for.
As painful as this was, I’m somewhat relieved. No more lying to ourselves about where this team is. It’s not youth. It’s not injuries. Our “Big 3” does not work. It’s time for some big changes.
Good thing we gave up Marcus Smart and our first round pick.
Grizz in 5
well, that was certainly a basketball game

The good news for us is that this Thunder team is old and has no draft capital for the future…oh wait
Glad we had the day game. Plenty of time for a bunch of great things to happen throughout our days between now and when we go night night this evening. Happy Easter
Bad loss. Move on from it. Get ready for Tuesday. 🐻🏀
Yeah Ja and JJJ are gonna come back hungry. Also Marvin Bagley will start. Not too worried, Grizzlies in 6
Imagine saying to someone that Marvin Bagley will score the highest points in a playoff game just a week ago
Just really bad effort. We knew OKC was gonna win, but they (Grizzlies) didn’t even try. I want to like Iiaslo as well, he was put in a tough spot and only given 9 games to work with, but when the players came out the tunnel at half with no desire to do anything at all you’ve got to look at coaching as well. Also, the players just weren’t good enough, JJJ has yet to show up to a big game in the past month.
What time’s tipoff today?
Grizz in 6 (days they will be on a flight to Cancun)
Want a positive? There’s nothing like an ass beating like this to show who has some fight the rest of the series and who’s got their Cancun trip planned.
Wanna see whose got heart? Here ya go.
Jesus rose from the dead, saw this preformance, and realized he made a mistake
That certainly one of basketball game of all time. Love to see Bagley play well today, the only saving grace for this disgusting game
The NBA ain’t worth a damn giving the Grizz the first game of the day after them playing the late game Friday
Am I a stupid piece of shit for being a Grizzlies fan, yes or no?
At least we have the Bag god
**Only a few thoughts**
**• Playoff experience is better than none**
It’s only our team who we think gets their spirit broken. And that’s because it’s just *our* spirit that gets broken as fans. Because we’d see a big loss as putting a fire under anyone else. We’d say *”They’ll take disappointment and come back more dangerous.”* And that’s just because there’s never really any patience for our own team.
They need playoff experience. Regardless of type because there’s takeaways from all of it.
**• After embarrassing losses, NBA teams tend to come back. Which means…**
…we’d steal one in OKC and have home court advantage.
Will we do it? Don’t know. But that’s what history tells us.
**• Live by the three, die by the three**
A refusal to drive meant that OKC stayed out of foul trouble and just needed to go after the long rebound that result from a 3PT miss. Those long rebounds allow them to get a head of stream and then it’s off to the races. Three point misses are way more difficult to corral by our best interior rebounder.
Go after higher percentage shots. Force them to foul. Or, at least, force the refs to openly ignore the fouls on national tv.
**• It’s just a W or an L; the series isn’t decided by point spread**
Grizzlies in 5. On to the next game.
