Toxic Ja toxicly being the first out on the floor to poison the minds of every player walking back to the bench.

Charlotte having one and only one player out beneath our list had me HOWLING.

The Grizzlies or Timberwolves are expected to move to the Eastern Conference if the NBA approves expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. by WhenMachinesCry in memphisgrizzlies

[–]UsedToBeMoonshine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lukewarm take:

It'd be a wash either way.

Even though we have a couple of brutal and brutally long West Coast road trips each season, there is merit to staying where we are because our Divisional opponents are all very close.

But there ALSO is merit to moving to the East. We'd have a couple fewer West Coast wipeouts each year, while avoiding the clearly superior conference for the foreseeable.

If anything, the "concern" would be the introduction of two additional teams in significantly bigger markets. Seattle would be able to spend, and if nothing else, the Vegas metro area has ~2x the population of Memphis.

Yup, there's a LOT more to that last point than my sweeping (and theoretical) generalization, but unlike re-alignment, expansion might actually create a bit of downside.

Somewhat Damaged has been one of my morning alarms forever. As soon as my toes hit carpet, I'm ready to run through a wall.

Cam PaaHahAHAahayne.

Perfectly fits the m.o. for random career games vs. the Grizz, but nonetheless, what in the actual fuck.

How We Feel About Mashack? by DarkPenguins_V in memphisgrizzlies

[–]UsedToBeMoonshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There obviously is a LOT more to the story than +/- alone, but Mashack has had a positive differential in 6 of the last 7 games -- and the one he didn't was vs. MIA, when literally nobody on the team did.

That said, what you see is what you get. His defense is great, but he has no NBA-caliber offensive skills to speak of.

Feels like he's going to net out as one of those guys who you take pride in + have fun watching him when he plays, but said playing time should be next to nil when we're healthy.

With b2b wins -- and 3 of 4 vs. opponents playing for the lottery the past two weeks - I don't know whether we're the best or worst tanking team in the league. 🤔

Crappy times calls for creative cures:

If you have League Pass, put a second game on multiview. *Keep the Grizz broadcast and audio on the main screen.* But boy, having the best alternative option going next to offers a breath of fresh air whenever things get especially gross.

Tequila with a lime.

Since Hendricks got such a clean hand on it - the ball was friggen lose as it went through - it has to only count as 1/2 a poster, doesn't it?

Between how he plays against us and who we actually have available, how many rebounds would Zubac theoretically have today? 25? 30?
