Not what you pray for but I’ll take it.
#Go Grizzlies

They didn’t have Mitchell one of the 3 times they beat us but then again I don’t think we had JJJ at that point either

why is JJJ shooting 3's? I never have been impressed by him at all. Too weak.

JJJ has regressed since his rookie year. At this point he is just a 7 ft wing with no ball handling or rebounding

I can't stand Jenkins coaching.
Never seen a coach save/waste timeouts when your team struggles and need to compose themselves.
He wasted a review against Warriors with over a minute left and two timeouts that almost cost them the game and still didn't use them in regulation.

Brandon Clark doesn't bring size but he brings speed and can force turnovers. Hasn't been on the floor for several games. I'd rather have Clarke on the floor than a terrible looking Jackson trying to "find" his game miserably.

Got 6 timeouts in his pocket with 409 left in the 2nd quarter.

Keep Jackson off the floor in the second half.

He has his ups and downs. I totally agree on his misuse (or lack of use) of timeouts. He has had decent game plans for the most part (with a few exceptions) so far in the playoffs.

Tonight it was obvious that he was trying to save Valanciunas for the second half due to his propensity to foul but JJJ was simply outmatched on the boards out there.

My fear is that Valanciunas ends up in foul trouble quickly and we get crushed on the glass again.

Brooks is my favorite player though. I absolutely love that dude’s D and (mostly) smart play.

Ja is a star and we have a lot of great talent but Brooks is such a “Memphis” type player.

I’ve met him and his mother many times, I was always amazed by how young he was. I feel like he needed much more time to develop (he just turned 21) and the injury didn’t help at all in giving him the confidence boost he needs. He needs to work his ass off this off season. He’s still a high upside player if he can grow into his role some more. Ja is 21 too but Ja is a really special player and was even at 19 and 20.

Can someone teach JJJ how to play defense?

Grizz are playing 5 on 8 down the stretch. Phantom foul of Favors. Utah ft 33, Memphis 21...would like to see the 4th quarter free throw stats.

DB could have dibbled that out but I'll take the bucket

Welp we stole another one and I am happy for em.

Grizzlies!!!!!!!!!

Grizz win!

How ridiculous is it to have won those 2 games with almost no rest and then to come in and beat the #1 team at their house.

Hmmmm. lol. Lemme get back to ya on that

Brooks: they had guys on me that couldn’t guard me

Limo guys lmao

What an incredible thrill. The media highlights and analysis a major league team can bring. The Golden State victory and tonight’s win at Utah, just incredible for exposure for our city.

It’s still shocking to me, 20+ years later, that a handful of knuckleheads didn’t want this. TigerTommy, if you’re still alive, where are you?

I don't understand why we can't have a max capacity crowd. New York and Utah just had one. There will be a lot of noise about this tomorrow morning.
