It seems that AD is too hesitant to shoot that's why the defense gets into him. He just needs to go hard to the basket right away and stop hesitating.

If Bamba is healthy theres no reason not to just throw him in to bang a bit... We're not matching their physicality right now.

We lack movement offensively. Everyone is just standing that's why Grizz could double easily.

Dennis should be in instead of DLo.

Embarrassed. The only thing Memphis has over us right now is effort.

Very true. I hope we close this game very well that we could steal this game from Memphis. Play good basketball in less than 4 minutes.

Not sure we even wanted to win that one... And judging from the officiating no one else wanted us to, either...

I’m honestly not sure what Dlo offers. I don’t even want this guy on the team next year.

AD is the biggest bitch in the league.

He plays one good game and all anyone wants to do is praise him. Oh top 5 talent. Piss off.

Bum. Absolute bum. Literally the ONLY reason not to trade him is defence. That’s it.

This team needs to do whatever it takes to get Kyrie or an equivalent star in the summer because you can’t win with AD as your #2 option on offence.

It's frustrating to watch DLo. In the final minutes he is always right there where the ball is but it seems that he does not want to get the rebound.

Really? You’re blaming the 38 year old and not the two clowns AD and D’Lo?

I think you're high if you don't think AD played a good game tonight... Maybe not his best, but 5 blocks? Cmon now...

I don't blame D'Lo because I never expect anything from him either... But you had Brooks and basically the entire Griz team daring Lebron to beat them, and LeBron put up decent numbers but it still seemed like he couldn't deliver when it counted.
And wtf do I care if he's 38? He's either the superstar of the team or he's not...

Would at least put Dennis or even Troy instead of DLo in the closing minutes. DLo is frustrating.

It was... And we came out super flat and complacent. So basically a complete team failure.
