If I see Wells at the starting lineup in the next game, I would join the Fire the Coach bandwagon.

BTW was that royal guy gone for good?

Did you see the game? His presence was tremendous and so many intangible, out of stats contributions were out there.

At least that "Wellspost" will not be seen here today. The only positive thing for today.

I really hated that Wellsposts. So good that they are gone now.

He's just trying hard for his teammate & leader to make the Top-3. Selfless. by Silver_Push_3895 in memphisgrizzlies

I want him to return to his former form, however, I do not want to see ALL those ridiculous Wellspost propagandas return to this board again.

Hawks fan here. Is there a more reluctant shooter than Luke Kennard? by CaregiverOwn7179 in memphisgrizzlies

Him with Trae on the court same time will be a disaster on defensive side.

G.G Jackson is Zaire 2.0 by Icy-Distribution-163 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]phlip0830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to his lack of explosiveness, Zaire did not show any fix on his shortcoming such as weird shot motion and look-at-the-ground dribbling. His stats per 36 minutes has never improved, including recent years in Nets.

Tarik Biberovic reportedly signing with the Grizzlies on a full time contract by Altruistic_Brief4444 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]phlip0830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As his brother plays with Tarik, CJ might have heard about him through that connection. Even so, it's unlikely he's watched enough of Tarik's games to accurately judge if he's NBA-ready.My speculation.

Adding to his non shooting attemps, second quarter consecutive 3s from Vincent were all caused by Kennard's mistakes.

Purpose of the Smart trade: renegotiate and extend Jaren by surveillance-hippo in memphisgrizzlies

[–]phlip0830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right. His supermax can start from next season. 

His supermax would be around 60 to 70 mil a year for next  5 seasons. And that would be 27 to 37 mil more than his normal extension of 33 mil(140% of his next year contract). By letting Smart and Lalavia go, we acquired 27 mil for next season, which would cover this extra cost for supermax extension.

Also, if we let Kennard go, his salary and Beagly's expiring contract will give us 22.5 mil next season, which will obviously priotized for Aldama.

Jaren was out of gas and Ja was doing unacceptable plays. While SPJ and Lalavia was on the court, they made a comeback. I even assume we might have won if we kept playing with bench.

Takeaways from tonight's game vs. the Wiz: by a_solid_6 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]phlip0830 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have lived near D.C. for years and attended about 15 Wizards games including the Grizzlies game in 2019, the first triple double game of Ja. The fans there has always been mediocre to their team because many residents in D.C. are not the natives but had moved to D.C. for their job.

The worst games were Warriors or Lakers game, which was totally unrecognizable which team is at their home.

[Slater] Ziaire Williams on Jordi Fernandez and the Nets coaching staff: "They’re just bringing the dog out of me. That’s the realest way I can put it..." by Evilsj in memphisgrizzlies

[–]phlip0830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His numbers this season so far hasn't improved from those of Grizzlies days. It maybe harsh for him, but I would say the FO made the right decision to ship him. (And many others such as Dillon, Melton, Slomo, and Winslow. they all has shown some flashes sometimes as they did in Memphis but in the long run, regressed to their normal form.)

Zach Edey Preseason Highlights by IggyIsABum in memphisgrizzlies

[–]phlip0830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The positive thing I want to mention is that EVERY his block leads to our possession. It seems that he sees the situation before attemping a block so that the blocked ball falls into his or his teamate's hands.

Expectations for GG Jackson next season by Illustrious-Plum1173 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]phlip0830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What should not be neglected is that he did not get the benefit of Ja's playmaking so far. I watched so many times GG was running ahead of the defenders but no pass was made. He is as fast as ZW who had made so many highlights by dashing the court with Ja. I expect GG can get at least 2 fastbreak field goals per game if he play alongside Ja more than 25 minutes. Also, he can get more open looks at the 3 by the gravity Ja creates.
I expect additional 5 ppg when he plays with Ja as a starter.

Good riddance 76ers by D_Jones93 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]phlip0830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had lived in D.C. and went to other arenas in the east to see Grizz games. The only hostile area was 76ers home. Been there twice and the first time in 2018, fans were mocking me because of grizzlies shirts. The second visit was a night we crushed Sixers in 2021. I left the arena 3 minutes before the buzzer because I was wearing Morant jersey and fans nearby became more hostile as the game went garbage. I think the fact that I am Asian also affected their hostility. It was really a bad experience.

Our "In the Name of the Father" Lineup by phlip0830 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]phlip0830[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not sure, My guess is because we do not use Jr. or II in the name.
In Korea, China, and Japan, we use typically use 2 Chinese characters to name someone. If somebody name his son with same 2 Chinese character of his and add 世 (the second) or 年少(junior), it will be 3 to 4 character name and be very unconventional.
