Terrible terrible terrible loss. You want to win a championship this is a game you can't lose.

Yes I know it happens, but the total lack of effort and attention to detail was ridiculous

Most of our turnovers were just that, turnovers

We made so many bad, lazy passes....including the pass on our final possession

It happens. I was a little worried about this one. Rubio makes them so much better. Still got in a funk, got out of the funk and flunked out.

Zach in particular hurt us bad in the clutch. That rebound before Rubio's last 3 was his and he watched it sail by. And why the foul? Terrible, terrible loss.

That being said... 37-13 ain't bad.

As they said Griz players minds were back at home before game ended/

The rosters of NBA teams are filled with the best basketball players in the world and defeats to teams with bad records are inevitable.

We really half-____ that game, and still almost one. It's a long season, but that was ugly and undisciplined. The TWolves played in your face defense most of the game.

That's one frustrating aspect of being an elite team. Even the worst teams get up to play you and treat it like the super bowl. You would think they would roll over once in a while but nooooo, not against the Grizzlies. It's as if they know we have trouble scoring sometimes and will let them hang around in the game, so they go balls to the wall.

I don't see how a random lost in February affects our championship aspirations. Yes it was a bad lost but is it really relevant to the big picture? Im not going to freak out because we lost a game that the team obviously didn't care to show up for. Wake me up when the playoffs start

Seeding and home court advantage is huge!

The LOSS doesn't affect our "aspirations", but may affect seeding. That's the point!

Because games like that can become a pattern and is a pattern the grizzlies have fallen into one already this season. That's how.

Joeger blew this game by playing with the lineup. I guess the game did not matter to him.

How did he play with the lineup? The same guys played that have been playing. The only addition was the other Green got some minutes and in sure Joerger did that just to find somebody that wanted to play

Man, if I'm ever cold I'm coming to this thread to warm up with all the hot takes in here.
