Have you considered who they are playing against?


I am not sure I am following you? The Grizzlies are missing Jackson and Morant tonight...we are at full strength...it's a 4 point game in the 4th

We are a bad team. Yes we have more talent right now but talent does make a team good. Case on point, what we are seeing right now.

After all these years, Rubio still just can’t shoot.

Everyone has been saying this since the start. They keep doing it. Probably so all Rubio's time isn't with a bunch of bad shooters off bench.

They haven't been good together but I think Rubio needs to step up more on offense. He isn't close to the player he was on the Suns or Jazz right now. We need him to hit some shots, get some buckets. I know he wont get 20 but I need some more.

Maybe it’s a flow of offense thing that will improve as we get more reps...here’s hoping

Oh, totally. We have had bad teams before, but usually at least someone was fun to watch. I had hoped that Edwards would be fun to watch, I guess he might someday. Just a boring team

Here's the difference in our teams. Memphis solidly know who they are and we don't. We have played a hell of a game tonight. Hit more threes, grabbed more boards, yet somehow Memphis is up. Seems like we were blowing them out play wise but they just hung in there and now they are pulling away.

We also have a big problem with droughts. Every game we let some team go on a huge run and we can't recover.

Having had to listen to opposing team color commentators most games this season, I gotta say I am really enjoying yours (aside from the Vancouver comments lol).

Wouldn't it be so fun to have a team that always plays hard like the Grizzlies always have?

Rotations still not working a lot of times we have lineups with no shooters or only one.
