The product that the Grizz put on the court should be an embarrassment to Adam Silver.

Kemba had 46 in 28 minutes, didn't play 4th, shot over 100% TS.

Somebody go and save Kemba *cough* Brooklyn pick *cough* to go play on a meaningful team before he is 30 so everybody doesnt wonder to what happened to such a good players career.

Didn't even know your TS could go over a 100

Yes. If you shoot and make a single 3-pointer, your TS% is 150% (the maximum possible).

If you shoot and make a single 2-pointer, your TS% is 100%.

The TS% formula assumes 88 FT% is equivalent to perfect 2-point shooting. If all you do is shoot free throws at 88%, you have 100 TS% as well.

I’m not even sure if the best college team would get blown out by 61 points by the Hornets.

Tanking doesn’t have to do with sucking, it’s sitting healthy players. Guess it’d depend on if Gasol really needed the rest. Players don’t intentionally suck, they have no incentive to do so, they have jobs at stake.

But also the owner could give a cheeky little word to be like "Ensure we don't win games and i'll give you a better contract" Surely that has happened?

I doubt it lol, they just play sucky players. Nobody is out there intentionally missing shots. The vets like Gasol are checked out anyways at this point.

Then why did Cuban gather the players and tell we need to lose?

The Grizzlies have decided to tank and no one is getting in the way of that. Not surprised by the crazy win margin at all. I am curious about why is Charlotte winning though? Shouldn't they be tanking for a better pick? Do they think they still have a chance of making the playoffs?

Thanks for the info I was told 65% TS is good so 100 sounded high fact that dude almost scored 50 is insane

They spent money, they just spent it poorly and on too many older, injury prone players. A lot of people picked the Grizz to make the playoffs this season.

Memphis with their next level tanking. This is like your local YMCA team.

Taking tanking to a whole new level.

If Fizdale was there still they would have a better record. This year has been a disgrace.
