Grizzlies being outplayed and outcoached!
No one helps Jaren, Morant or Bane. Even Brooks defense wasn’t there. In the off season they have to make some major moves. Have a backup big man. They need to practice making shots. They were missing easy layups, they didn’t use Luke. Sadly this isn’t there year. Maybe next year. When the playoffs come people get hurt during or right before.
They could have won the first game and the last game.
Dillon deserved all the backlash he is receiving. I doubt they will sign him over the summer and if they do – I will be disappointed. It's time to move on.
Blaming everything on Dillon is nasty work ..ja highlight hunting instead of making smart basketball plays was crucial as well
Ja and Dillon need to mature. Stop doing annoying stuff like frontrunning and yapping all the time. Just ball out like they can.
Brooks and Morant are not The Problem. The Defensive Intensity was not there from the other players!
6.7 seconds and Jenkins didn't take out Ja and Bane and put in Roddy and Konchar I can't believe it and I think it's time to move on from Coach Jenkins I'm tired of this. I think k we should trade Coach Jenkins to the Spurs for Greg Popovich
We fine in the west 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m asking you DMC why the hell wouldn’t a coach with brains play the top nba 3 pt shooter more than 14 mins out of 53 mins? That’s just plain stupidity. Puts him in the game with seconds to go in ot for offense and he hits a three. For those related to Jenkins I’m talking about Luke Kennard. All the others on here I know you know who I’m talking about. Konchar who I thought played great on defense in game 3 sits on the bench the whole game. Why? This game was like game 3 grizz were outcoached.
Sick tired of all the excuse Brooks so called defence isn't worth all his offensive mistakes. The bench is useless, start preparing for next season. If they have any real heart they would even up the series. Even if they lose at least they took it to 7 but that ain't gonna happen. This isn't the year an this isn't the right squad need changes. Speaking Facts.
We need healthy big bodies.
Ja’s longevity is at stake. He needs to stop all the high flying. Every time he went up it looked like his small bones were going to crumble. Stay on the ground Ja
We need a new coach as well. Our current one looks like a Grizzley bear and can be the mascot or something 😂
PLEASE DON'T CRY FOR REFS WHEN BANE WAS PUSHING OFF ALL NIGHT. THEY LET A PHYSICAL GAME BE PHYSICAL. STOP WHINING.
I don’t like his decision! It has not worked DaMichael! DB hasn’t been himself! I think that even before we got to OT Kennard could have made a difference especially since the Grizz were struggling to score down the stretch with the charges on Ja . It’s just not worth it! Offense will always out weigh defense in LA
Brons shooting like 60% from the field against brooks this series So honestly I would play Luke more.
Tough lost, but We're fine….GO GRIZZ!! #WITHUS
Even John Konchar, not having played a single second up to that point, would have made more sense defending LeBron James in space at the top of the key rather than your third string center Xavier Tillman. Hell, even Ziarie Williams would have made more sense. Dillon Brooks is the obvious choice but even David Roddy would have made more sense than third string center Xavier Tillman. I love Tillman to death, he did the best he could….dude NEVER should have been put in that situation and the fact that he was just shows that Taylor Jenkins is in over his head.
Is it really apart of their job to speak to media? I don't know. I thought they are there to play basketball?!
Grizzlies fans. Thoughts on the rest of the league calling your boys front runners?
Desmond bane doing his podcast after the game like draymond
Laker fan in the building, AD did not have a good game and we still came through with the win you guys are in trouble
The Grizzlies should have never got rid of Melton and Kyle Anderson. That was such a dumb ass decision. We should've have ran it back with the exact same team as last year. Yall hyped up Konchar and he did nothing the entire year. Santi Aldama shoots better than Kyle Anderson, but he sucks at everything else. Taylor Jenkins can't coach at all. We'll never win with him.
If you have to make a defensive stop,why is Ja in the game?
Oh yeah, brooks sucks!
Couldn’t help myself
as a clipper fan I know luke doesnt play defense thats why ty lue didnt use him same as reggie jackson they dont defend
Lakeshow baby!!!!!!!!
😂TAKE THIS L GRIZZ. LAKERS WINNING THIS SERIES. HOPEFULLY WEDNESDAY BUT IF NOT THEN in 6
officiating went both ways…..Grizz attempted 101 shots and only made 39 of them
The Memphis Mouth Runners are 1 game away from a problem in the West. The Dynasty averted. Memphis is the new OKC Thunder with Durant, Westbrook,Harding,Perkins, Obaka and more, great team never win when it counts.
Memphis Mouth Runners never saw Microphone or Camera they did not like when the win, when the lose they are nowhere to be found.
Mikal Bridges is our answer to replace Brooks this offseason. Give the Nets Tyus and all kinds of picks! Mikal is the ideal fit to make us contenders
These teams aren’t close. The lakers played bad and that’s why this game was close. At least Memphis finally stopped Rui. After game 1 you told me he’d never play good again. 3 games later, you were finally right. Hahaha go lakers
Dylan Brooks forgot how to talk to the media all the sudden hahahaha what a loser!
LeBron is naturally left-handed lol Dillon and Desmond sound dumb af. He can and did drive either way and still get his points.
Next time you will respect your opponents and your elders.
The guy that you called old and inefficient, was the one who won the game for the lakers last night and he added a new accomplishment on his record: 20-20.
Something almost nobody did in a playoffs since 2004 .
Ps: see you on Wednesday Goodluck!! 🙏
The Grizzlies immaturity will cost them this series. They might win game 5 at home but I can see the Lakers closing it out back in LA in game 6.
LeBron is left handed your best bet is making him a jump shooter
#LAKESHOW in 5! 'we're fine in the west'
I'm not sure about Coach Taylor Jenkins..they will never when a chip with him.
AD will want to have a bounce back game in game 5. Lakers probably don’t win Game 5 but if he comes to play it will be a close one
Dillion is such a 🤡 he doesn’t wanna embarrass himself in his post exit interview
