What a joke and embarrassment!  What other team does this?

What cities are so boring that they can spend the night and light sparklers with other toddlers?

That was so extra, this guy is so extra. It was totally unwarranted. 

The man was just doing his job not like he interfered in any way. 

Dillon is just lashing out, a child unable to control his emotions and impulses. He is going to really damage something soon.

Comes with having a young team. And unless you draft all Mormons, you're gonna get some party animals who have to learn the hard way.  Gotta agree with the sports writer who said our road record isn't just bad luck.

DIdn't the Griz, a few years ago, have one of the best road records, while having one of the worst at home?

Great Memphis strip clubs?  Or better people?

I don't understand why they think leaving the city after the game is going to have a positive impact on our road record.  I mean... at that point they already played the game.  So...

I think it’s just to keep our players out of trouble.

That’s exactly what it is… good call

Not a good look that they have to treat the players like children.  We have the talent but not the professionalism

I'm okay with it.

They still are. Most of them still don’t have a fully formed prefrontal cortex.

Almost all of our players are under 25 .

So yea.

If they leave Indy right after the game, no laser pointer incident. They leave Denver right after the game, no Instagram video. This also not the first time the Grizzlies have used this policy, and other teams have done it as well.

That makes more sense, in which case, I'm for it.  The article made it sound as if it were a way to help our road win/loss record.

The Pacers issue happened in Memphis, but otherwise, your point is correct.

There could be even more minor issues that we are unaware of. Players showing up hungover the next morning, getting sick, or not being able to go full speed in practice the next day. Players sleeping in because they stayed out too late, and not showing up at departure time and having to get dragged out of bed. Maybe bringing women of ill repute back to team hotel.

Criticizing this policy is ill informed, because we have no idea of the complete reasoning behind it.

There's no women in Ill Repute, it's four dudes: John, Tony, Jim and Chuck

Don't blame the Grizzlies, they players did it to themselves.

If they stay out of trouble it probably will positively affect our road record.

One would prefer maturity to be developed. But if you can't have that, then maturity can be enforced. 

Or as it was said in one of my fave movies..."Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm".

Good decision for me.  Those kids clearly lack of maturity....hopefully they learn and focus. They can party every night from May to Early September.

Perhaps, but it would be nice if they could work on their game some too.
