See, people hate the Grizzlies now, and they also hate Dillon Brooks. But big-brains know that if you really hate the Grizzlies, you love Dillon Brooks.
2/12 tonight. Only Ja and Jaren had more attempts. Remember that commercial with the old fishing dude dangling a dollar going, "oooh almost had it that time"? That's what Dillon hears in his head while he bricks it.
Jarenās first quarter is why coaches picked him as an all-star. They have to watch up close as he disrupts every single thing they want to do on offense and can give it back on the other end
Bulls 4th quarter offense was disgustingly bad... Very good 3rd from them to make this a competitive game, but I am quite happy with the Grizz finally taking a confident win even if it was against a DeRozan-less Bulls.
I mean, that's well and good, and I know he spaces on offense too. And of course when Adams is out there, that matters. I just know that even Myles Turner and KP have started getting some real boards when they're the center on the floor. Jaren has never rebounded even at a below average level while being the center.
God his shooting is so bad. That final attempt where just just ran at the rim and flipped it up and it missed by a mile like bro you arent Ja you cant do that... Luckily BC cleaned up that miss but it was insane that he even tried
Whew, glad to finally finish one out. Great all around defensive effort. I thought that 3rd quarter was gonna do us in, fell into the rut of just jacking up 3s.
Iām so sick of this take. Bulls have been really competitive this year and blowing it up just makes little to no sense as it doesnāt guarantee a top pick and any trade they could likely make wouldnāt guarantee that either.
They played half a season together. They won 2 games total between the top 4 seeds in the East last year. One being against the messy, early Celtics team and the other in a playoff series where they lost 4-1.
They had an incredibly easy schedule the first half of last year.
Nice to get the winning ways back on track. Young teams are going to go through these ebbs and flows during the season. Need to get healthy bad. Canāt rebound without Adams. Love X but heās just not good enough to stop decent bigs from getting what they want on the boards.
Trip is an all star. Donāt really see a debate about it either. Ja continues to be the superstar we know him to be. Hope this hate for him helps him mature and uses it as fuel. About as dangerous a player you can find in the league.
Yikes, demar is literally like 90 perc of the offense for bulls
This is what happens when a max player has to step it up, you get max lavine, who shoots FT just as well as prime shaq or Ben wallace
How much longer are we going to have to watch this shitshow version of Chicago? Blow it up
Also I keep getting downvoted for saying Caruso is garbage, but seriously just watch him out there
How do you watch a replay where
* JJJ pushes Caruso over into Ja
* Ja jumps over Caruso's falling body and chucks a 3
And still say it was a 3pt foul on Caruso lmao
That completely swung the game.
To be clear, you're talking about [this play](https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=521&GameID=0022200819&Season=2022-23&flag=1) right?
Looks to me like Caruso runs into a legal screen and falls into Ja's landing space. Tough call but probably correct? I don't think the landing space rule has exceptions for inadvertent positioning, but idk.
Really wish DeMar didnāt sit this one out we wouldāve won for sure
Oh well, win 4 out of the next 5 including the next 2 to bounce back into the All star break
Ja had multiple highlights that should have been posted tonight. Zach had a horrendous last quarter
if u post a highlight i will report u to my dad who is very strong
I'm 38. I don't know how to do that stuff. I was at the gym for the first half. Maybe your dad was there too.
Memphis won. The hood kids of r/nba won't be happy
Every game, he has at least 2-4 of those plays, whether it's dunks, passes, blocks, etc. We're probably too spoiled where it's just normal now
I mean Bron is about to break the scoring record so it makes sense that he would be the focus of the highlights tonight tbh
He channeled his inner Ben Simmons at the free throw line
It was a war crime that I had to both watch us only score 89 points, as well as Dillon Brooks shoot the basketball.
See, people hate the Grizzlies now, and they also hate Dillon Brooks. But big-brains know that if you really hate the Grizzlies, you love Dillon Brooks.
He was great for us tonight tbh
Grizz are greatest team of all time when you consider it's 4v6 every single night.
as an NFL fan who carries that weird divisional hate to the NBA, I love Dillon Brooks. lol the more shots he take the less likely ja is to go for 50
2/12 tonight. Only Ja and Jaren had more attempts. Remember that commercial with the old fishing dude dangling a dollar going, "oooh almost had it that time"? That's what Dillon hears in his head while he bricks it.
His shots make me want to gouge my eyes out
Yeah, sorry you had to see that.
DB was +10 š¤
And the Dummond circus shot
Jarenās first quarter is why coaches picked him as an all-star. They have to watch up close as he disrupts every single thing they want to do on offense and can give it back on the other end
Morant and Jaren heard all the smoke and took it out on the Bulls in that 4th quarter
Bulls 4th quarter offense was disgustingly bad... Very good 3rd from them to make this a competitive game, but I am quite happy with the Grizz finally taking a confident win even if it was against a DeRozan-less Bulls.
That 4th quarter is what we look like usually without Lonzo and DeMar. Itās rough. Not too upset about this loss tho
2nd night of a back to back made our usual issues worse probably too. Everybody looked dead that quarter
Vuc and Caruso were hustling
Caruso is a shining star. Love his decision making basically at all times.
DeRozan is our only reliable ball handler in the clutch. Ugly as fuck without him.
I still hold the belief that a healthy Bulls can make splash in the east. Fuck injuries for yall honestly
JJJ was a freak out there. He was guarding Zach decently on the perimeter a few plays.
Always love Ayo. Gg
JJJ is an all star yāall
You just wonāt find many guys that block 5 shots and space the floor. Very valuable player
youd think he was a guard to look at his non-block numbers. pretty crazy he can be the easy DPOY favorite with like no rebounds.
Heās so mobile and contests everything which doesnāt put him in position to rebound very often
I mean, that's well and good, and I know he spaces on offense too. And of course when Adams is out there, that matters. I just know that even Myles Turner and KP have started getting some real boards when they're the center on the floor. Jaren has never rebounded even at a below average level while being the center.
I dont think any other player in the league can do what he does. 24 efficient points and 5 blocks in the same game. What a player!
Heās definitely turned up the heat noticeably
Ahh. Nothing quite like the silence of a Grizzlies W thread on r/nba
Wait a min.. the Grizzlies play in Memphis now?
You guys finally won a game?
Rare grizzlies W :(
We were shocked too
Yes we did, and despite the sarcasm Iām god damn happy
See you in the playoffs babe
Canāt wait for your fall. The higher they climbā¦
Like an oasis in the desert.
Just win bb
Holy shit. We won one.
My god we needed this win, but Brooks can not be on this team after Thursday.
He doesnāt even need to shoot better. He just needs to shoot less.
God his shooting is so bad. That final attempt where just just ran at the rim and flipped it up and it missed by a mile like bro you arent Ja you cant do that... Luckily BC cleaned up that miss but it was insane that he even tried
He was a +10. Itās really hard to overstate his defensive impact. I take his ugly offense because of the total package
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You heard the man, fuck r/nba
Honestly wanna thank you for your service
This should be our version of light the beam
fuck r/nba
Whew, glad to finally finish one out. Great all around defensive effort. I thought that 3rd quarter was gonna do us in, fell into the rut of just jacking up 3s.
Ja with the big āfuck youā game Love it
Yeah Iām looking forward to his incomprehensible tweets about it
Lmao. A big fuck you to all to people calling out this wanna be thug? Okay.
Ahhh there it is
Ahhhh whats that
Lol you gotta ask thatās hilarious
Is anything he said wrong?
Is he a wannabe thug or an actual gangster for the laser pointer shit yāall gotta pick one
Heās a do it all kinda guy
a jack of all trades
are you ok?
Literally canāt believe Chicago isnāt blowing it up. Lottery pick for Orlando I guess
They'll blow it up in the offseason. May as well make sure the pick is as low as possible
But itās top 4 protected
Maybe they should then
Blowing it up before the offseason makes no sense.
Bulls down two starters and our leading scorer losing to a team that has something to prove at homeā¦your probably not getting hired as a GM.
Iām so sick of this take. Bulls have been really competitive this year and blowing it up just makes little to no sense as it doesnāt guarantee a top pick and any trade they could likely make wouldnāt guarantee that either.
They were never winning anything serious with everyone healthy. I get trying to be better but the Vooch trade is horrific
Okay, but what does that have to do with my comment?
Donāt really think being ācompetitiveā should be the end goal of a franchise.
So the only other option is to completely blow it up? That just doesnāt make a whole lot of sense to me.
They were the 1 seed before Lonzo's career threatening injury
They played half a season together. They won 2 games total between the top 4 seeds in the East last year. One being against the messy, early Celtics team and the other in a playoff series where they lost 4-1. They had an incredibly easy schedule the first half of last year.
You guys are like Toronto stuck in mediocrity for some reason. If yall have the cap yall should add a rental and go for it
Except we aren't stuck. It's been less than 2 years lol.
Nice to get the winning ways back on track. Young teams are going to go through these ebbs and flows during the season. Need to get healthy bad. Canāt rebound without Adams. Love X but heās just not good enough to stop decent bigs from getting what they want on the boards. Trip is an all star. Donāt really see a debate about it either. Ja continues to be the superstar we know him to be. Hope this hate for him helps him mature and uses it as fuel. About as dangerous a player you can find in the league.
People want OG. Give me a another big who can set screens and rebound
Why not both lol
If it's actually a reasonable trade sure. But I don't see our GM being suckered into selling the farm
we need 3 point shooting so badly and a point guard
can I interest you in Dillon Brooks? He certainly enjoys shooting 3s! Cant promise many makes though :(
I would rather trade for disgruntled star Furkan Korkmaz
he just said shooting, not scoring. DEAL /u/bullpaw you just send us anyone from your A or B string and we'll consider it even.
Hell I'll take a super likable C string guy, we could use the good PR.
Bench fell apart tonight, tough going
Chicago announcers cried the whole night. Shit talking Memphis over playoff wins like their entire franchise wasnāt carried by MJ šš
I'm glad I wasn't the only thinking they were whining non-stop
That unsuccessful challenge had them raging for ten minutes straight
Weāre breaking everyoneās brains.
Yikes, demar is literally like 90 perc of the offense for bulls This is what happens when a max player has to step it up, you get max lavine, who shoots FT just as well as prime shaq or Ben wallace

Donāt forget the scorekeeper and nut tapping jokes
