Luckily for us, the Grizz also have terrible defense.

We really need this W. Big game for us in my opinion.

One of the teams that blew us out in the preseason. Not feeling good about this one.

Grizz are one of the better rebounding teams in the league - ugh. Astonishingly, we're middle of the pack. Feels like we'd be dead last, but suppose we do gang rebound passably well.

Might keep an eye on B. Clarke even though he seems to be back in the rotation for Memphis. He would still be a great small ball center from the bench here

We are on tilt and this road trip can't end soon enough. I'm feeling we'll lose this one and it could be a blow out.

Me too.

I'm having flashbacks to about 10 years ago when a Rudy Gay lead Grizzlies team ran a layup line on us.

What a beautiful touch pass by Gordo to TRo for the 3.

Grizz shooting 82% from the field so far. Sounds about right.

Morant is killing Melo on the offensive end.

It's like he's unguarded and getting to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however he wants.

Ya know, I finally came around on Terry a little after the season he just came off of but I am right back to where I was at the end of 19-20 which is he’s a ball hogging chucker, a more expensive version of Monk if Monk had the same opportunity. I have to imagine he will get better and not be a complete liability on both ends, but Mitch and JB need to suck it up and package him for interior help. Like, would Orlando take him for Ross and Mo Bamba for example? These ideas need to be explored since the core and future are obviously LaMelo and Miles. We also have Bouk as a Terry prospect now.

I'm watching with a super close eye on defense to see what's going on, and this team does not know how to fight through a screen. Every possession they've scored on was because either we didn't fight through the screen and Mason dropped to cover the screener or because of some action that was created because are rotation to help weakside off a screen left a shooter open.

Our PNR D is just embarrassing.

Definitely something they collectively have to find a way to do better, especially LaMelo.

We have a bunch of soft finesse players. Cody and Biz were the teams physicality, and both of them are gone.

Our interior D is an embarrassment. We are always smaller than the other team.

Just tuned in and Adams destroyed Plumlee 3 times in a row, another player that was available but we passed on

Could really use his physicality
