SONNED
Vince Williams
Vince Williams.
2 big wins back to back. Effort & heart.
Are the Grizzlies better without Ja?????/s
There’s something about making teams implode that makes me moist, lakers and now suns, there’s gonna be some suns chatter on r/NBA I can feel it.
Big road wins
6 assists from jaren is crazy
Vince Williams Jr
Best win of the season! Get in!
Legit better welcome Vince back to Memphis from this trip with Jake Laravia contract
They said he shoots like a woman. Quiet 28 and 10 lol
If the first 25 games of this season taught me anything, it’s to be super thankful for any wins without Ja. Nice win.
Warriors lost, Lakers losing, Grizzlies W. The play in is getting closer
VINCE JAREN POST GAME
Damn, good game.
We still need a center BAD tho
We are back to playing basketball. If we get a starting-level NBA center, it’s gonna start looking really different in Memphis.

WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN
Edit: Thanks fixed it
One game away from streaking
What a big balls win though. We had to reintegrate a lot of key pieces quickly, and there have been a lot of growing pains, but they actually looked kinda comfortable tonight finally.
Also, Vince Williams Junior
You know… we lost a ton when Ja couldn’t be on the bench. When we won a ton of games when he was hurt in prior seasons, he was still on the bench. I honestly think his energy is so important. We looked great. Someone pay VWJ
that was so beautiful
Vince Williams Jr.
Most complete non-Ja game of the year!
6 Assists!
Plays of the game were the bane putback and smart ripping Beal on their last possession
everybody hates us again 🙂
Kleiman proves the 3rd times the charm theory in taking 3 wings in the draft 😅
Marcus Smart has been fitting in beautifully the last few games. Its clicking now. Even Ziaire has been looking playable lately.
I love how quick this sub goes from “how are the lottery picks looking” to “we finna win the play in” in the course of a week, myself 100% included 😂
DAWGNESS > REBOUNDING
JJJ AND VINCE ARE HERE TO TAKEOVER
ANOTHER MARCUS SMART HUUUUUGGGGGEEEE DEFENSIVE PLAY
WE ARE OFFICIALLY HERE
This is the game that earned Vince Williams a full contract. I feel it

Vince Williams Jr. aka his Chadliness aka the one true OREB God
Great win against a play-in team, hopefully Warriors and Lakers drop theirs. And hopefully the sling is just an accessory.
I don’t know if it means Center Jaren or 6th man Marcus, but it’s hard to imagine Vince off the bench for much longer
Imagine if we have Drummond and punks like Nurk can’t pull down 19 rebounds and get Jaren in foul trouble.
Bis did his part with the 3 blocks though, can’t fault him.
Jaren was a beast tonight and I was cheesin and crying at different times! What a game, great TO’s from Coach tonight and my god VWJ fears no one. Not even the “slim reaper”.
We shot 50 3s and it felt like Santi shot and bricked 30 of them
Ok I’ve apologized for my comments on Smart from the other night and suggesting that with Vince we win but both firing on all cylinders is actually orgasmic
The defense of that closing lineup with Smart/Bane/Z/VW/Jaren is nasty
I’m a simple man. I see Vince Williams in the comments, I upvote.
