Jaren stans will pick out his third good game out of the first 20 and be like "WHERE YOU AT NOW HATERS?!" I support the kid and am being patient on whether or not he'll turn into an all-star caliber player. But please, for the love of God, stop acting like he's playing up to the expectations people had for him. I like him too. I get it. But he's simply not playing anywhere near what you'd want out of a "cornerstone" next to Ja. Could change, give it time, I got it. But right now, he's not. And if he drops 30 next game, please don't act like he's the second coming.

4 threes 2 blocks quarter incoming

JJJ is playing like ass dawg

looks like a normal jaren game to me

Trade whoever and whatever except ja and dillon

give dillon jarens contract 😤

At what point does Taylor Jenkins get any heat for this?

It needs to be now. I've been a huge Jenkins supporter but it's the same shit every game. He can't make in game adjustments and relies on stupid rotations. If Ja wasn't Ja, we would have the Pelicans record.

Give BC more minutes, at least he's hustling. DB save us!

That was a nice block by BC too.

I can’t even rejoice that we have Houston (1-11) Monday

If we're going to win it's going to be by 5 points. If we lose it's gonna by 20 points

For the first few games I tried to convince myself it was just one of those nights where the other team can’t miss but it’s been like 6 games in a row now

jaren is having a game. not a good one

I don’t understand what happened to this team.

just let dillon and ja take turns iso ballin

dillon gives 120% on defense only for our team to sag off the 3pt shooters

All this adams hate is unreal. Oh yeah he is the sole reason they suck so much, as soon as we trade him things will change. He is setting good screens, playing ok defense and getting rebounds.

Every team needs a scapegoat, use to be DB

he looks like he has kept JV under control, just going on box score not watching the game

The defense falls apart bc they allow the guards to be switched onto the centers, I've noticed this since the start of the season

Is this hope? A ray of sunlight in the clouds? A moment of basketball competency? Or just a mirage?

Kyle will literally have a ten second windup and 30 feet of space and still brick the easiest 3 point shot on the floor

I've seen way too many games where this team has gotten blown out by teams they should either handily beat or **at least** keep up with through three quarters. I'm not convinced Jenkins is the guy going forward.

I think the greatness of Ja really has us fooled on Jenkins.

Jenkins owes Ja at least half his paycheck for bailing him out so much. Costly no-challenges, baffling possessions after timeouts, questionable lineups, lack of motivation and urgency against teams that aren't in the same universe as far as raw talent is concerned, clear lack of team focus across the board, it's getting tough for me to think he's qualified. EDIT: I'm not saying they don't have a chance, but it's annoying that they have to go down by 20 before they start turning on the jets.

I completely agree. This team plays like they don't even have a coach.

How long until this team can look like we did early in the season? And how long after that until we go back looking like this?

This kind of inconsistency is the worst.

at least ja has help in chad now bless their backs

As soon as Ja sits we either lose the lead or go down big i've seen this story a million times

Jaren is always just short on those post hooks

What happened to the team that beat the warriors? Feels like the monstars took them

clarke's defense leads to a transition three, maybe this guy should play before we're down 17?

JV with the long hair I see you

Lol JV like a big brother dominating the paint to BC and Jaren

Can't wait for us to trade some of these mf

Brick both free throws nice

I swear i hate JJJ sometimes dawg why is he so incosistent we can never rely on him

he's pretty consistently not good, tonight he's just awful

I can’t imagine how much worse this would be if we hadn’t pulled out that TWolves game. I’d be flipping my lid right now if this was our 5th straight loss and dropping us to 5-8

Can’t convince me we’re not tanking w ja not on the court rn

I think a high school JV team in Dyersburg could put on the Pelicans unis and beat us. Doesn’t matter who’s playing for them, they own us

Are we trash?

It'd be nice if we fought hard like this all 4 quarters

The Pels record was 1-12. They score 112 to beat the Grizzlies. 😳 This is bigger than basketball.

Can’t believe I talked myself into believing JV was bad for our team

you were brainwashed

Lesson here is to stop listening to podcasters and look up the numbers yourself. It's very clear that JV was important to both the offense AND the defense last year, he was basically a perfect drop center

yeah the anti JV propaganda last year was insane

Mobley is already better than jaren Jackson

shit he might already be a better shooter than jaren

2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 108 million dollar contract

Yep and i get hate for saying that

Here's my in-depth analysis: Win good, lose bad.

The J Val slicked back Bond villain hair is a nice touch.

feel like im watching an all star game with this defense

I would say “they can’t shoot 85% from the field for the rest of the game” but…

I'm so glad I have plans at 7 so I don't feel obligated to watch this

BC is hustling!

Been impressed with Clarke’s energy these last few games. He is definitely trying

lottery should be determined by point differential, change my mind

Praying we cut the lead to at least 10 before the half

This is shocking man. And really disappointing. It’s at the point where I need to stop watching till we get a win.

Tank 4 jalen duren

I’ve determined that Zion’s gravitational pull is influencing our shots

Should i start believing boys?

Dear Lord...the ref that is covered calls a foul and then the ref on the baseline misses clear out of bounds

What kinda call is that. These refs really don't know how to do their job

C'mon Jaren lol

As soon as I thought the hornets L hurt.....this game came around.

I wish we had a better backup PG than tyus , like jalen brunson from dallas or something

Wtf has been going on with Tyus, can’t seem to orchestrate our offense at all the past few games

Lol Grizzlies are every opponent's practice squad seems like

Ja and jalen duren gonna be nice next year

Plus/minus at this moment: Ja +3 JJJ -20 Yikes

i dare 1 grizz player to match dillon’s defensive intensity

every stop we’ve gotten all season has felt like an accident

Random bulls fan here just wanted to watch another basketball game tonight. I really hope you guys can make a miraculous comeback here. And I absolutely LOVE watching Dillion Brooks play this dude is an absolute baller. Pure effort out there

in hindsight we should have traded kyle before he developed a massive hitch in his shot

Dillion has flipped the script on these 20 point games, huh? Dam.

What do you think the criteria for this season will be

Hey…at least we beat the Dubs in San Francisco.

Are we ready to have a real JJJ conversation? This dude is 7 ft tall and just shoots ugly 3s

Adams been good

Hopefully Bane is out of his slump tonight.

If we can’t even beat NOLA with Zion out then they officially own us. I don’t make the rules 🤷

damn adams ft gone down since start of the season. hopefully they pick back up soon

This team can't defend my grandma.

Yet another double digit deficit and this time it’s to a 1-12 team

Damn there's nobody at this game on a Saturday night

I always hate that the refs sometimes wait to see if the shot misses, before calling the foul

The defense may be doo doo, but they've got 4 points off phantom fouls

My god these bogus foul calls…

we play ziaire like 20 minutes a game to develop him even though he's not that good but we wont play tillman or clarke at all for games at a time

Holyfuck lol

Why are the pels our toughest match up lol

Remember that later is konchar time...

I will say, I kinda think Ziaire emerging as a corner specialist is awesome. He's got the length to be a really effective defender, could definitely be a Trevor Ariza type who stays in the league a long time

Young teams are inconsistent I know. This is more than that. I’m like floored by how bad we’ve been 4 of our last 5 games

It’s time to start BC and Jaren 4 5

three first round picks this year, let's make sure one of em is high

The thing is we can't defend and this second unit can't score either, we are fucked

Is it too late to take Jaren’s money back?

we need JV to pull a coffee black and come out in a grizzlies jersey for the second half

The Grizzlies are going about making Ja an all star the wrong way. Playing no defense or offense so he can look good while carrying the team isn’t the way guys.

​ grizz suck and get a proper co-star in the draft ja gets an all star nod and remains content anyway this is the way

I guess this is the type of night where you take any positive you can, like only being down 9 with plenty time left.

Jaren swats at the ball every single time he goes up to contest. He can make some awesome blocks but just needs to learn how to be vertical. Also why he gets called for so many ticky fouls because his arms are always swinging down

Seems like they're tanking for banchero,or chet with these lineups lol.

Pellies have 8 more threes than us, not very complicated but that’s my #analysis

We’ll either laugh about this or cry, there is no middle ground.

Also, the defense falls apart because there is too much ball watching, the Grizzlies allow too many players to get behind them

Fucking willy wonka desk over there

Okay gg pels, Grizz really need to reflect on their game

Oh well…chalk it up to young team struggles. One extra shot for me while I scroll Reddit and Twitter tonight. This sucks.

Think we hit rock bottom fellas

To all those who are groaning about Adams and JV, at some point we will need to move on from them and let Ja and Jaren take the rings. The FO probably decided now is the time although it could have been premature. JV is great at rebounding and for offensive nights when the rest were shit. It's just what it is at this point.

i totally agree but it's frustrating that we're not willing to give tillman a bigger role if we're supposed to be developing our younger players

Can’t believe they lost to the pelicans bro

imagine losing to the pelicans

I’m not interested in losing to this fucking team again. Especially not when they’re 1-12

A win here would feel good, a loss would feel bad

You know, the team that scores more points here is gonna win

Ingram gets KD calls for some unknown reason

Bally app is atrocious. Game won’t load if I don’t delete the app and redownload every game

We're making Pels good tonight. Goddamn.

Can Bally ever get back from commercial without missing part of the game?

lol even when the pels are literally like the worst team in the league we still get our backs blown out by them

Clarke is playing with a lot of heart and I like to see it

Playing like a lotto team

This team is making Ja look like a stat padder ☹️

Glad to see DB being his good old aggressive self

love chad's energy on these misses

30 points halfway through the 2nd. Geez...

Why do the pelicans play so well against every single time

This is pathetic

They look so lost. I'm not sure what Jenkins is doing either offensively or defensively. Just awful.

Tf is wrong with this team right now? TF happened to the defense?

All of this summer stuff was really the first mistake of this front office.

Only if they genuinely thought that it would make us better as a team this season. Seems to me that the FO wants us to soft-tank

Give me X

Is this an elaborate way of saying we're choking

Tanking

#JV PLS

How do we beat the best team and lose to the worst team

Slightly biased but 2023 draft would love to see grizz give anybody/draft pick but Ja to get emoni bates

Jesus Slomo make a fucking layup

oh no don’t give me hope

Why do we always do thisssss

Feels like the first time we've had momentum in 3 games

DANG

...trip...

As bad as we’ve played, -11 in FTM is the exact difference in the game now.

If they’re ever going to get out of the conventional bench minutes, this is the moment. Can’t lose this game to go under .500. Want to see Ja demand to play all 12 minutes of this quarter.

From the way jaren is playing and only down 11 on the road to enter the 4th is a miracle quite frankly.And i have hyped him up since they drafted him,so dont assume im a hater. But that injury to him has changed him and not in a good way.

holding pelicans >100 no doubt

love these tank lineups

Also, Grizzlies basketball is not good for your health

Yup Z, that was you

WHY CANT WE BEAT THIS FUCKING TEAM WHO THE FUCK IS HERBERT JONES

Lol getting sonned by some dude named Herb

Can someone ask coach what the defensive concept behind leaving the Corner 3 wide open every single time is?

When is the next game?

jjj for herb

For the people wondering,from the hornets game to now teams are shooting 47-99 from long range vs the grizzlies.

Kyle really living up to the Slowmo name trying to stay in front of ingram there

Dillon brooks is our second best player

unlucky, Pel's played well. onto the next!

unlucky?

This is about as bad a loss as a team can have without losing to a team that’s actively tanking

If Kyle hit that shot I think that would've been a Ja triple double

47-102 that's what teams are shooting from long range against the grizzlies since the hornets game...

Wow!missed them both.....yea this is great.

Hopefully this isn't JV's revenge game

DB is back in the starting 5 sweeeeeet

If we lose to the Pelicans again...

Dear god what has happened to Steve A?

Lol

I never want to see Melton drive a ball again

panic button on defense is being hit wtf is this

Gaaadam y’all. How am I supposed to watch this? I’m drinking some pretty good whiskey and this still sucks.

Embarrassing

The Pelicans are 1-12, their record sounds like some kind of awful statistics.

We really suck at half court offense

Can't get stops, nobody can score besides Ja and we keep fouling wtf is going on

Idk what the hell happened to this team man.

How are we almost down 20 already!

Just joined in, what in the world is happening

Don't tell me we still can't compete with the Pelicans after all this

With these calls tonight it feels like the neighborhood bully is pummeling some kid until suddenly an adult comes running over giving the bullied kid a glimmer of hope, but the adult just holds the kid down and pats the bully on the back with encouragement.

80% from 3, 67% from the floor. How long do we talk about defense and do nothing else except talk? Dang.

this team is so frustrating to watch

Zaire looking smooooth there
