No Brooks, no Clarke, no Adams, this one might get ugly for us

This could get downright gross in a hurry.

Tempted to sell my tix - really hard to justify driving 45 miles each way in LA traffic to watch a team that’s been putrid to watch for the past 6 weeks. No joy in watching this team since the Shannon Sharpe game. 

[Allen 0]

This is a lost. They probably going to be out clubbing all night 

[Dwash 0]

With the BC injury I think you see Adams back this game.

[Joey Crawford 0]

Maybe Junior will get some playing time.

I almost feel the opposite. With BC out, it may need Adams to be 100% healed and not 90%, and may mean he sits another couple of games since he may need to play heavier minutes.

Even if that’s not the case, I could see Morant potentially being sat for this game, which would mean no Morant or Brooks - meaning a likely loss where there is no need to bring Adams back this game.

But what the heck do I know 🤷‍♂️… jenkins.xls probably already got told the lineup from his spreadsheet this morning.

So happy I sold my tickets late last night. I can basically buy the same seats again if I wished at about 40% off as of a few minutes ago

Epic stupid move by Ja.  Out for two games. Brooks out for one.  And Clarke done for the season.

[GrizzTigerFan 0]

One thing for sure.  We are about to learn if Taylor is a really good coach or an average coach that had really good talent.  

What do y'all think will be the lineup?

Tyus/Kennedy

Bane/Kennard

Jitty/Ziaire

Jaren/Santi

Tilllman/Roddy

Clippers mostly play Small so our Big rotation won't be a huge problem.  However, our wing rotation is gonna look laughably bad against KLAW and PG13.    

If the minutes restriction isn't given up this game then im flying to Cali myself and handing Jenkins a pinkslip.

Go Grizzlies !

I'm watching the Bucks and they probably going to win the championship this year. Beautiful halfcourt offense.

Grayson Allen on fire

Bud changed a lot of his offensive philosophy and 3 point D philosophy the year after Jenkins came here if I recall.

Jenkins.xls never got the firmware update coach Bud got, considering he runs Bud’s old system in most ways.

He also adjusted his defensive scheme last season in order to stop over aggressively helping and leaving 3pt shooters open.   Jenkins definitely missed the firmware update for that too.

The SAnti Christ. On a serious note... we mat very well lose this game against the Clippers today because of our behavior, and nothing more. Two of our players are suspended for this game. What is it going to take for this team to grow and mature? Time is probably the simplest answer, but changes should be made to the personnel in the form of additional veterans for next year. That much is clear. Maybe these incidents will be an impetus for that growth. It's probably too much to ask, but maybe this could all end up being for the best.

If Tyus can ball out tonight, we have a chance. Still a slim chance. Bane and Jaren needs to combine to get 50+ points, and Tyus needs to get at least 20. That'll be 70 with Kennard/Williams/Roddy/LaRavia needs to go hopefully a combined 40. We're not going to win this game with Aldama and Konchar shooting 3's.

Good news: Minnesota defeated Sacramento last night. We will at least head back to Memphis tied with Sacramento for the 2 seed. If we beat one of the LA teams, we will still have sole possession with Golden State and Dallas coming into town.

To protest the conduct of Ja and Brooks...for the first time in a long long time, I won't be watching.

No, that won't make a difference in how Ja and Brooks act going forward, but at least I feel like I'm protesting their juvenile BS.

Protesting Ja/Dillon by not watching the one game in which they won’t be playing?

🎵 Isn't that ironic, dontcha think? 🎵

It's going to be interesting. why wouldn't you go?
 I don't know what the offense looks like here. is there any way we can compete? 
1. Jaren will have to be the guy you go through . I like that for sure
2  I won't count on Tyus' scoring 15. 
3. Bane can go for 25 here I hope. Still we're going to need 20 from Roddy, 15 from Ziaire, 
4. I want to see the pro--passing lineup of Jaren, Santi, Ziaire. Konchar. 
5. It's going to be fun to see if the "reserves" can assert themselves and be competitive.
