Is this a joke?
This team is ridiculous. Sorry, this is softy ass garbage.
I just bought two Courtside tickets for two different games, 😂. I’m going to lose on those but I’m definitely selling them back. I did this last year and paid $1500 to watch G League. I knew I shouldn’t have bought these.
Please Please no more injuries 😔😔
4 players injured already, and they haven’t even played the first preseason game… that’s not counting the Summer League injuries
Guys trust me, I get it. I felt the same way at first. Two things helped me with the curse.
1. Feel for the player. The injuries hurt them much more than us, no pun intended. I know, they have money. Doesn't matter. It's their lives
2. Grizzlies have a bunch of injury prone players on the roster. We're gonna have to accept that our guys are gonna have to just get that much better. Next man up
I’m getting some real bad PTSD can’t go through this again I’m finna crash out mane 😭
I watch y’all every day keep up the great journalism!
** Insert miscellaneous angry injuries comment **
This is all just trauma bonding
What's with our training/medical staff???
This team can't get a break! I still remember around the 2013-2016 season, not sure which season but anyways. Grizz team had a similar situation. I think it was Dave Joerger who was coaching at the time. But were also down so many players and kept I remember we had so many players come in. I think everyone forgot about that season. Learning how to play without injury is a skill. Recklessness play is real man. Injury prone players is a real thing! Not trying to be harsh here. But we do have a few players that are injury prone. Ja, Jaren, Marcus, are injury prone players. If you look at their history they always play like 60 games a year. Someone teach these guys how to fall, land, and roll. Remember Dillon Brookes? He was injured during training camp a couple times too i remember.
Yall do realize that injuring a hamstring and shin splints are about as normal as rolling an ankle in basketball right? It's the labrum and Achilles tears that are abnormal or random
Are we injury prone or do we need to take a look at our athletic folks? We were the most injured team last year and we already have GG, Vince and Jaron before the season even gets going? I’m worried and suffering from some PTSD here.
This make no sense. 1. Jaren arguably the best two-way on the team who he competing with 😂😂. He’s the best and best player in the team really no debate Can’t be the best player on the team and plays one side of the ball unless you are head over hills better offensively which Ja is not. Desmond and Jaren are better scores that make no sense. Ja is a better playmaker who needs to run the point like regulars point guards. So you trying to tell me it’s a smart ideal to take your injury prone point guard that only elite offensive scoring skill is around 15 feet of the basket is to take him off the ball which would make him use his athleticism more to score which may cause more injury 🤦. The man miss around 20 a season without last year injury and get hurt in the playoffs the last two times. Yea we don’t need that offense in our system. We gone need all 3 to succeed in the playoffs and that should not be one
When will Memphis media realize that there are a very very few players on the planet that can stop Zach Edey one on one. He MUST be doubled. To say he should not be a significant option in the offense is simply an ignorance of basketball.
Joe, I’m scared! Tell me it’s gonna be ok 😭🤞🏿
Lolol this team is a joke. something is breaking down in their training process. Ja got hurt during training last year, GG go hit during training and now JJJ
