  1. can’t shoot 20% from three and survive 🤷‍♂️

  2. sharper1mage

    Not our night. Even still the guys never quit. On to Phoenix

    I don’t know what it is, but I am so low on Z. He’s just an absolute non-factor. Nothing he’s doing right now is great.

    Tired: Hating the Grizzlies 3 point shooting and 3 point defense

    Wired: Hating the actual 3 point line

  5. You’re never going to beat the Nuggets with 91 points. You can make tonight about a lot of things but at some level it’s exactly that simple. Hopefully Des is back this week—every loss is going to loom large in April when seeding is determined.

    after these last 2 games, teams are going to continue spamming these zones against us until we prove we can beat it. obviously des counters that a whole lot, but we can’t just rely on one guy to beat it. i don’t know, not super encouraged overall right now but hopefully we can get right on friday.

  7. Spending $215 of my own dollars to watch them go 5-26 from 3 was not cash money

    holding Jokic to 13 points should have been enough for a win, pity we didnt stop any one else from scoring

    Can’t complain about refs too badly. Missed things on everyone.

    Shots fell for Nuggets, didn’t fall for us.

    A long series may prove different, but Joker shows what others talk about when they say Ja needs to be able to “make everyone around him better”. While Ja can do that, Joker was on a whole other level tonight.

    GG from Denver. On to the next.

    Slumping bad. Feel like we’re in act 2 of a christmas movie. Grizz by 50 on Xmas.

  11. WonderingCashew

    Got absolutely dissected by the 300 pound sloppy fat boy. Didn’t have the juice today. Would really like us to turn around the road record and hopefully we still can on this trip just a bit of an uninspired performance can’t get that far behind against a good team.

    Credit to the Nuggets locked in defensively and made sure nothing was easy. Grizz were not passing well. A lot of passes to shins and fumbling meant the offence spluttered. No rest for the weary onto Phoenix hopefully we can put up a good showing there

    Jaren might be the most efficient dude in the NBA while also having the lowest usage on offense (completely made this up idk if any of it’s true). I swear every game I watch JJJ is barely involved. He’s like a last resort option when everyone else already had a touch.

  13. TakeItToTheRiver

    This happens a couple times every year. We start to get rolling and feel good (8 wins in a row, top seed) and then for whatever reason we just shit the bed for a little bit.

  14. StickSuspicious6650

    This team is not getting enough ball rotation for 3pt shooting. This has everything to do with Ja centric offense and Dillon iso offense.
    Also defensively the guard play is terrible. When Dillon doesn’t have a top player assigned to him, he gets lost on rotations like the rest of our guards and small forwards.

  15. DidgeriDoodleDo

    Felt like the JJJ’s treatment from the refs regressed a couple years tonight. If he doesn’t get essentially fouled off the floor, we have the firepower to get over the hump. When no one can hit an OPEN SHOT, we really need 2 of Ja/Des/Jaren to be on the court to be effective

  16. Fezinator

    We got Mile High Shit-In….something has to change with these dreadful first quarter starts

  17. we gotta get jaren a sports psychologist, maybe then he won’t let his emotions effect him so much when he picks up a dumb foul. also pass him the fuccin rock, he’s a bigger mismatch than ja!

  18. Jenny_Fartaway

    Despite the abhorrent shooting performance, we had SO MANY miscommunications, bad switches, and wide fucking open uncontested driving lanes defensively.

    Just an all around shitty game but you can mentally get over bad shooting nights. There’s no excuse for the sheer volume of defensive lapses we showed.

  19. JShuttlesworth28

    It’s looking like we not good on the road tbh. I’m really not looking forward to the Christmas game.

  20. Seymour_Says

    Dear Mr. toilet, we’re the one’s who are supposed to do the shitting!!!!

  21. Seymour_Says

    Can’t win em all. We’re ahead of the curve AND can win RIGHT NOW! With that said, we showed our youth the last two games. Can’t come out sluggish and expect teams to bow down. Teams are looking at us as a measuring stick now. We have to consistently bring it. Just the next step in our development so I’m not worried. We need ya Bane!! On the the next. GNG Forever

  22. The more I think about, the more I regret us not resigning slowmo. Dude was a critical piece to our success, had a high bball iq, and I’m sure has the balls to hold players accountable. Who’s doing that on this roster? At some point you’re going to need vets on this team and getting rid of one that was such a perfect fit by replacing him with rookies just isn’t gonna cut it. Think our FO is getting too complacent over the thought that all of our pieces can be acquired through the draft. You can’t draft experience. Experience wins rings. We have one dude who has experience but he doesn’t even have legs to play and has never been a vocal leader in his career. If we really think our window is now, which it 100% is, then our past offseason moves have been disastrous imo. Still butthurt over Melton too lmao.

    Well… it was fun while it lasted, might have already peaked lol

  24. MAPIIidk

    JJJ gotta stay on the floor. Needed him on the glass, his scoring, and paint presence
