Bruh Ja needs Edey. Landale isn’t it as a P&R guy. Isn’t athletic enough to finish many plays.
We’re going back to having 0 paint defense.
We HAVE to trade for a backup Center. I’d love Claxton. They could interchange based on matchups.
Aldama, Konchar, and one or two firsts.
The Grizzlies need to burn some sage every time they're about to step on a court
I saw the notification earlier and just laughed.. This has to be an absolute cruel joke at this point, I’m numb to it already just tank the season.😂
Let’s play basketball with who we have.
Whatever it takes to stop Joe from bitching like a child about the Cup.
So in 4 weeks ja or JJJ may get hurt when Edey comes back 😒
We need to fire our trainer. This is ridiculous.
Am I the only one who saw Zach Edey land awkwardly on his ankle and make a face like he was in pain? It was with 9:50 left in the 1st quarter. He kept playing, and Pete and Brevin didn’t comment on it. Maybe that was when he got hurt again, and this is not just lingering soreness.
Not having our big man is a big blow to my grizzlies.
DAM
IT
I’ve kind of given up on Memphis. And I could give a shit about JA coming back. He’s a weak person that will be hurt and crying in no time.
All my closest friends and family have bailed on the nba for this reason, there is no point getting invested. They can’t make it a month without sitting out.
Go back and look at: Barkley, Jordan, Iverson, Hakeem, Payton, kemp, shaq, etc.
The players of that era maybe missed 2 games a season, if that! This shit isn’t real, it’s all fake and resulting from hysteria.
I watch nba players roll their ankle and roll around on the ground like they got shot. I have rolled my ankle until it swells up, literally like a cantaloupe and turns purple. I’ve done that no less than say, 8x in my life. It never caused pain like they pretend like they are experiencing. I’m not being a tough guy, I’m simply saying, the pain is not severe in the moment. The next day is when it hurts like hell. When you do it, like do it BAD, you don’t really feel that much. It’s more awkward than anything. Like when bane completely ripped his ankle, he barely reacted but just knew it was in bad shape. He was our toughest player by far.
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS?!?!!?😭
Not good.
Plz do not play GG
God hates the Grizzlies
Edey new got Joe so down that he thinks it's already Friday.
There goes the season…..😢
In a related development, my joy for basketball has been downgraded to injured but will be re-evaluated in approximately 4 weeks 🤕 🩼
How tf Zach being out again when he just came back a couple of weeks ago. I really hate hate hate the nba and the frequent rash of injuries and stars sitting out when they aren't hurt.
Finally some minutes for GG?
Are we done excusing Jaren not rebounding?
Very good news. We gain nothing from going to the playin. We need to tank
Ja will be out in 3 to 4 weeks from now. Bet on it.
If we are over looking the fact that four of five starters are avilable and 2 of them being our star players we need to ship Ja and Jaren out and start the rebuild. You know who doesn't get enough blame? The person who got rid of all the serviceable bigs we had, particularly Adams & Valancinus without having a plan. We are to dependent on Edey. We have two 6'11 PFs who can't play center. Jaren has to be traded he is not worth the price or another year of development in year 8.
Have you seen what Ja does in the corner? He needs a big screen setter
I'm beginning to think this team is either cursed or ownership is doing whatever they can to push fans away to justify their eventual departure from Memphis.🤦🏾♂️
Another year, another thought of what could have been. Being a fan of this team is torture!
We are not allowed to have nice things….
John Konchar will carry the team next game with 30 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 blocks, and 4 steals…
I really like the idea of starting Vince and Morant.. fr fr..
Trade for Zion
Vince or gg or santi at 4
Why did they take away our Christmas .500 record hope? On a serious note, does this mean the surgery was unsuccessful?
This is similar to the Spurs losing Wemby, but they had an actual back up plan with Kornet. Landale cant be the back up plan
Something is going on. Are the players not drinking enough water? Their ankles, muscles, bones seem brittle. Are they doing hot and cold treatments? How are their diets? They seem easily breakable. We get new players and they are broken before the regular season starts. Edey just came back and now he’s out again. I would start to question the strength and conditioning team or is it the players are not listening to them? When we get fully healthy the chemistry won’t be there because everybody hasn’t played together.
The key to winning tonight is shooting. We have to hit shots, we have to box out and get rebounds in Edeys absence the best we can. Jaren has to go off, him and Ja have to learn to work together.
