This Memphis team is very good. They play an interesting style.

I wonder what it feels like to walk into the locker room at halftime down 30 in the NBA. Nothing went right. Not hitting shots. 14 turnovers.

You can see how the defense doesn't pick up off-ball movement. They just can't locate Kennard. They're so behind following the offense that they can't establish rebounding position in time.

This game is too fast for everyone, especially Mark right now who looks really rusty.

NSJ has figured out he can just dump it to Mark any time he's feeling some heat. That's been the source of almost all (3/4) his assists tonight.

Melo 4-16 so far. Wells is really bothering him.

Our superstar is getting locked up and outplayed by a rookie 2nd rd pick. Our 6th overall pick rookie is an unplayable scrub not even with the team. You hate to see it

We just came out disinterested.

Melo isn’t even throwing up at least one 35 footer. Lol

at least Mark is cooking offensively

I assumed Melo was going to start jacking 3s in the 4th, you know he wants to keep the record of games with a 3 alive.

He just needs to be told the game doesn't start at halftime. Some brutal starts recently.

Mark Williams is ridiculous around the rim. His defensive IQ is suspect given his physical attributes but my Lord

Glad to see them fight to make it at least somewhat competitive, that first half was very no bueno

I kind of like what Ive seen from Okogie so far. Seems like he is also better than Josh Green at basically everything except 3pt shooting (same with Martin). Worst case scenario its nice to have cheap guys like him as depth pieces and he can be a salary throw in for a trade if needed.

If Wells played that same way vs Trae Young, Brunson, Shai he would have fouled out in 10 mins. Good on him for playing aggressive but LaMelo doesn’t get 1/2 respect from officials those guys get.

Expectations were pretty low before the game when I saw Memphis had the 5th best o and d ratings so far this season.

9 games at home should say a lot.
