Worst two teams I’ve ever seen in my life. Good lord.

Grizzlies tanking again
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I've heard shooters have to shoot, but Russ ain't a shooter. Just stop.
Get to the rim like that

Cool he made it to the rim. Still annoying that we never get better looks in these situations though. Go watch the Celtics the game last night did you see that? We never get stuff like that. Brad Stevens get Kyrie Irving an open Corner 3.

May have been due to the no call in regulation, and Memphis complaining about not getting one there, that's the only way I'd consider it justified.

Memphis played for the draft pick, Abrines remembered how to shoot, Westbrook finally attacked the **** rim.

The refs held their whistles on the last grizz possession. I'll take it though.

Kinda think the Robes foul was BS in the 4th too.

I was thinking that as well. Grizz have no grounds to complain since they were gifted OT on that Dre foul in the first place.

And yet he has the best plus minus on the team. How the **** are we so terrible that he can shoot 2/30 and still be the most positive influence?
This right here! I really believe the team will be at its best when everyone is playing around mvp Westbrook. That is if he hasn't completely lost his scoring ability

I'm not convinced Westbrook getting right even gets us there. Are we better than last year even if Russ is able to replicate it 100%?
Definitely, we have seen it in spurts this year, Celtics first half, Spurs first half etc

Umm.... He's always got the ball and making poor, sloppy decisions. The team's reflecting him
