The decision at the trade deadline not to add size is not aging well.

Wolves got completely dismantled on the glass in embarrassing fashion. Anthony Edwards was a non-factor and stunk it up. Grizzlies got to the line all night. We should have gotten destroyed tonight, we got dominated in some of the most crucial elements of the game. Maybe Dane is right about us being a good matchup. I will take this win! Arooooo!

This is a really bad loss for Memphis, they had no business dropping this game with how well they boarded and got to the line.

Can't believe we couldn't grab a board and we still won.

If we can win against Philly with Harden tomorrow I will be amazed

When was the last time Ant hit a jump shot? I know it's been longer than 2 games.

Dlo with 23 points in the 4th. Insane.

It's mind boggling that the Wolves gave up 26 offensive rebounds and still won the game.

Minnesota had no business winning this game, incredible that they pulled it out.

Worst rebounding effort of the season, Ant stunk it up but glad they pulled it out...outside big3, this is the kind of match where a good Beasley outing was a major factor in the win. That's the thing with Beasley...he can elevate the ceiling of the team when we get a good Beasley performance

Ants lack of a shot is worrying me a little...

Beasley saved us in the third, DLo saved us in the fourth.

Jim Peterson mentioned that even when DLo started his run, he gave credit to Finch for keeping Beasley out there, to help create that space for Russell to operate.

I also like that Russell doesn’t make a big deal of it every time he scores.

Great win! I agree with AIJ - stressful. But that means, this year, we aren’t just waiting to lose in crunch time anymore!

In the last 4 games we've seen each of Ant, DLO, and KAT pretty much win a game by themselves (Ant with 37 against IND, KAT with 39 vs CHA, and DLO with 37 tonight).

From some Grizzlies fans.

West playoffs is gonna be hard af. Everyone talking about how good the East is this year but we’re prob either playing the nuggets who could have both Murray and MPJ back or these nasty af twolves.


I do not wanna play these ******* in the playoffs. DLo turns into an all nba player when he plays us


I do not wanna play this team in the playoffs, they're a bad matchup for us


I will say Wolves match up well with Grizz now and this could be a possible playoff matchup. But also remember all the games so far have been without Wolves killer Brooks I believe

I still cannot get my head around Beasley going 5 of 7 from 3 and Ant going 1 of 11 and 0 of 6 from deep. But hey, a wins a win and I will take what I can get. Dlo needs more than a game ball, he needs an ice in the vein trophy and a cape. That wasn’t just hero ball, that was super hero ball.

The refs were out of the GODDAMN minds tonight. Giving the Griz 40 free throws and us 25. They were all over us, they leveled a number of wolves with no call and gave ticky tack horse **** to the Griz at every turn.

KAT needs to be smarter and stay out of foul trouble. A couple of the whistles were bad, but KAT also did other stuff that could have been whistled and wasn’t.
