REVENGE GAME

Hopefully Russ behaves a bit better this time. Or at least let's hope a rookie pg doesn't frustrate him to the point of getting tossed.

Last time they prepped really well by blocking the spots where Russ loves to pass to teammates. Let's see how Donovan prepares against that.

Hope we come in like



Russ gonna walk in like

Big test for Adams. Hopefully the bench can defend this time.

Ha, RK may drop by at some point from Welcome to Loud City. Just pestered him on his pregame show.

What Russ was listening to before the game:

The dance is back. I love it.

Parsons start off by hitting ahis first shot and it's a tough one.

I'm sure this will be his "break out of whatever his problem is" game.

Parsons is 2/3 from the floor. Two of his makes have been tough, well-contested mid-range jumpers. The guy has sucked all year and he's looking like Houston Chandler Parsons early on.

Lets go Thunder!

Not sure how that as a double foul. Looked like Kanter was getting held pretty badly on the rebound.

People other than Russ & Kanter doing stuff is already an improvement over the last Grizzlies game.

lol VC lighting it up.

Chauncey and Jaylen both said Adams is our second best player but It needs to be Oladipo. I agree.

Memphis' two threes have been tough makes. Gotta tip your cap, just sucks they made 'em.

All we're doing with Payne is what we had Semaj do. We're probably trying to ease him into it, but he's much better offensively than Semaj, yet Donovan has him doing the same stuff. No pick and rolls, just post feed to Kanter, or pass to a shooter next to him. We're not taking advantage of the upgrade that Payne provides over Semaj.

I agree with you long term. However I'm ok with them easing him into his role. Every athlete that I can think of that has come back from a broken foot has had issues-KD, Dez, Sammy Watkins...

Gasol with his patented, "back down, exagerrated shoulder throwback" move and it's a foul on the defense. Then Carter gets 2 FTs on a BS call. Refs going heavy pro-Grizzlies early in the second quarter.

Interesting foul calls

We extended/kept our lead without Westbrook so far which is all you can ask of the 2nd unit
