Re: March Games Discussion Thread

Is he entering the top 5 (or best) PG conversation?

Dude is having an incredible season and still got snubbed for the All-Star game. [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

I think he deserves an All-NBA spot if Sacramento ends the season strong.

Lauri Markkanen in his last 30 games: 28 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists a game while shooting 50% from the floor, 41% from three, and 91% from the stripe

He’s had an unbelievable year. He looks so confident and aggressive, I mentioned to Jeebs the other day but he makes a play or two a night that look just like it’s Giannis out there. Hopefully he continues to build off this and it’s not just some numbers on a down year (even though they’ve won a decent amount). Shooting that efficiently should pair next to anyone though.

Re: March Games Discussion Thread

When Markkanen originally started falling out of favor with the Bulls I was hoping that the Lakers might be able to get him "on the cheap", as I always thought health and the right fit was all that he needed.

Dillon Brooks adding to the bad day for Memphis by getting suspended for too many techs.

Re: March Games Discussion Thread

Memphis trying too damn hard to become the villain of the league. And it's killing them. Sure Steven Adams missing hurts alot.

But all that talking they do and the antics I think makes teams wanna go at them even more.

I wanna see them succeed too. Because they play hard but they gotta tone it down. I don't think anybody respects them anymore. They got that fake tough guy act to a T though[emoji108]

They are the new "Jail Blazers."

I don't wish that reputation upon them but it seems like that is where things are headed. Which sucks cause other than Ja's antics, most of their other BS is on the court.

Lol ehh idk about that title especially considering no one has been locked up or even charged with a crime.

Ja has been the knucklehead but no one else on the team has done much. I know people fuss about Dillon Brooks but guys like him come and go every year and he’s no different.

I called it last year after they lost to the Warriors that folks would start to turn on them real quick. They were cool as the surprising, lovable underdog because everyone loves them, but once they started getting more attention and louder(during the offseason during the whole Twitter mess)that’s when the turn began.

Other than a young Z-Bo, who else on the Blazers was being arrested?

Of course, we aren't at the point where anyone in Memphis is attracting criminal charges. How Ja is moving right now could jeopardize his future and tarnish this era of Grizzlies basketball.

Remember it only takes "one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch."

I'm just saying that is how things will soon be portrayed. I thought it was a BS label placed on that Portland team and thankfully a lot of them got passed it.

You think ZBo was the only one to get in some **** back then? You might wanna read up on that team because they didn’t get that name just because he got locked up, they got that name because half of the roster were getting into stuff on and off the court, lol. Over like a 2-3 year period, it was like a different player getting into trouble every month. And this was pre-Social Media so I’d be shocked if there more that happened that we don’t know about.

So yeah, it’s a stretch to say(or at the very least, way too soon)they’re “new Jailblazers”.

Fortunately so far, everyone else on the team has been keeping a low profile and not getting involved in any mess(that WE know of), especially in this day and age of Social Media.

Re: March Games Discussion Thread

This is the problem with the non-Embiid and Non-Harden minutes. It always look so disjointed. They need to speed up the tempo. Unless shots are falling, offense falls off. Until Maxey becomes a better playmaker, they have to play more uptempo when Harden and Embiid is off the court

I looked it up cause it's been a minute, but other than Qyntel Woods (animal abuse) & Ruben Patterson (domestic abuse), most of their infractions were drug-related (Marijuana possession).

Again, it was a snowball effect that hurt a lot of those guys' reputations. I'm probably being hyperbolic in my statement, yet I could see this being the Grizzlies' reputation if they don't clean **** up.

Re: March Games Discussion Thread

I like Jevon Carter's defensive impact so far. He's smothering players up the court and not giving up anything easy. He was always a player that I liked since he came into the league
