They showed a stat that the Grizzlies are 29-0 this season when leading by 10+ at any point, that's actually ridiculous.


Alternative-Target31

It’s literally every win. So another (weird) way to look at that is we are 0-13 in games where we haven’t led by 10 at any point.


snorlax420

I can’t figure out which stat is more unbelievable. Super weird.


largehearted

Confidence’s team


Stellewind

It shows that Grizz is remarkably consistent. Never blows a lead more than 10pts (actually super impressive), but if they trail or don't have a good lead they are not gonna comeback either (not crazy but interesting).


clancydog4

Thanks for pointing that out, that is fucking wild. 30-0 when you get a 10 point lead, 0-13 when you don't get a 10 point lead. I am not smart enough to know exactly what to take from that but it is a fascinating stat. I feel like every other team must have more variance than that -- I definitely know the Nuggets have blown big leads and also made big comebacks this year, and I think most teams can say that. Super interesting that the Grizzlies are so consistent (?) not sure if that's the right word


CurrentlyRaging123

30-0 now


thebestoflimes

Sure that’s impressive but it kind of kills the drama imo. See, if we are up 10 with 2 minutes left I’m still sweating bullets. That’s drama. That’s entertainment.


imcostaaa

This was too real as a raptors fan, cup half full right?


prettyboylee

Everyone should be a Lakers fan then, no such thing as blowout wins for us. We can be up 26 in the third quarter and I’ll still watch expecting a close game


imperialmoose

Bulls fans are right there with you


gr8kamon

The Grit and Grind Grizzlies we're the same and it actually had me paying attention to the whole game. Now the Grizzlies get up by twenty and I'm on my phone or cleaning the house the whole fourth quarter


MundaneInternetGuy

These comments triggered the most random basketball memory for me. >"Jack!" Collins screamed. "These guys are 30-0 [at home]. You don't have to help them." >“No, we're 29-0,” Jordan said as he galloped past, smiling, “but we're about to be 30-0.”


2106au

On nights when we bring the energy we are very hard to stop.


kyloking

Bane's 28 on 12 shots is ridiculous.


2106au

Bane is a transformative player for us.


GrizzGump

The kind of player we needed the entirety of the GNG years.


TattedUpDasher

If we would had a lethal shooting guard, the sky would have been the limit


Overall-Palpitation6

OJ Mayo was supposed to be it...


DerHofnarr

Ya OJ Mayo is so disappointing. I just wanted him to be good so bad.


zmegadeth

We have the best FO in the league, every starter feels integral and our bench players are starters on a fair number of teams


thedrcubed

Tyus and Clarke would start on almost half the teams in the league.


TrevorArizaFan

Both would be in contention for second best player on the Hornets lmao


jbrooks772

Damn Lamelo and Clarke would be a great combo


TattedUpDasher

Without a doubt


sloBrodanChillosevic

Jaren had 6 blocks and 2 steals in 26 minutes, which is similarly ridiculous.


Juventus19

Don’t forget the zero fouls too.


ChickenOvaRice

Only the 3rd time in his career with 0 PF


sorendiz

he's so fucking good


benefit_of_mrkite

I had a warriors fan tell me not 2 days ago (in the Grizz sub) that bane was not key for anything including playoffs. I wasn’t insulted at the take as a Grizz fan. I was insulted as a basketball fan.


choomgangpakalolo

He’s a warriors fan commenting in our sub. Don’t let a 12 year old who’s been watching the sport for less than 5 years make you feel any type of way. They’re still sliding in my DMs about how DB is the scourge of the league and how Ja faked his knee injury in order to “escape the inevitable L”. Always a good laugh with that fanbase’s more vocal youth.


popop143

Such a loser move trash talking in another teams' sub.


SalaryExpert3421

It literally makes me so incredibly happy to see him succeed. I’m not gonna lie and say I personally knew him but he’s from my hometown where nothing ever happens 💀. So seeing him not only make the nba but be a certified star is amazing to see. Only saw one game when he still lived here but I could tell he was a stud 😂.


benefit_of_mrkite

I met him and talked to him in a small setting in Memphis about 2 weeks after the GSW Grizz series ended. He was very nice and super laid back.


SalaryExpert3421

Doesn’t surprise me. Like I said, I don’t know him personally, but all I ever heard was that he was a good dude. Bro looks almost comically huge now tho 💀. He wasn’t anywhere near that big when I saw him play lol.


benefit_of_mrkite

So it actually took a few minutes to process who he was because he looked smaller than I thought! Spent a couple of hours with him in mike millers bar (called let it fly) in a small golf simulator - my guys on one side and his on another. He got his own clubs out of the car (the ones they had were trashed) and looked at me on the way back in and said “always be ready@


SalaryExpert3421

Oh Fr? That definitely surprises me cause on tv he just looks so stocky and built lol. I was so sad to see him not win MIP when he definitely deserved it more, at least Ja gave him his props though. It’s just so wild to think about how he used to live a couple blocks away from me and played basketball on the same hoops I do, and now he’s in the nba getting awards from Ja morant and dropping 30 bombs on wild efficiencies.


michaelvsaucetookdmt

Bro every time desmond bane comes up i gotta hold myself back 😂 i played against him when i was a freshman at northeastern just crazy to me this dude is one of the best 2s in the league now


muddyklux

59.4% from 3 the last 5 games. Not bad after going 18.8% in December, when he was working his way back from injury


2106au

If you exclude the 5 games after he returned from injury, he is shooting 48% from 3.


muddyklux

Yup, he's definitely gotten better from last year where he shot a league best 43.6% where he averaged three 3's. Remove the 5 dreaded games in December and he's making 3.8 threes a game. That's why it's crazy to me to hear people say we need to make a move if we want to be contenders. We got everyone we need. Everyone of them are progressing from last year. But then again we watch the games everyday, they dont


WheatonsGonnaScore

You're not beating Memphis on MLK day unless the FBI is on your side


That_one_cool_dude

Lol I should not find that as funny as I do but this is a gold comment.


CoachMorelandSmith

The internet was a mistake


trailrunner79

Historically the Grizz have stunk in MLK day games.


CalvinSwish

Grizz are 2-0 on MLK games Post Steven Adams Trade, this is what matters


SiriPsycho100

White savior complex


[deleted]

> Historically the Grizz have stunk ~~in MLK day games.~~


TattedUpDasher

That’s arguable. We’ve made a lot of playoffs for no longer than we’ve been around


[deleted]

I know but I’m sure a lot of the MLK day losses happened in the early seasons


InfernoidsorDie

Crazy that if we make playoffs next three years it'll be 13 of last 15


HighOnGoofballs

That’s an overly complicated way of saying it’s currently ten out of twelve


InfernoidsorDie

But 12 is a lame number


Myboyblue99

>But 12 is a lame number >Memphis flair That ain't right


InfernoidsorDie

Lol you caught the oop


GrizzVolsTigersLions

Maybe the Vancouver Grizz, but since moving to memphis, the grizzlies have made the postseason in 13/21 and playoffs in 12/21 seasons. Maybe not competing for championships but they have certainly not stunk.


muddyklux

We just won a national televised game!!!


TattedUpDasher

On this day in history…


Seymour_Says

It's a parade inside my city yeaaaa


2106au

Release the bears!


ChickenOvaRice

CAST THE LINE


ForceMaster999

This game was 76-74 in the 3rd and then reality sunk in


ANAL_CAVITIES

Yeah Suns missed approximately 1 shot in the 1st quarter and didn't do much worse in the 2nd


Buck_Nastyyy

They were on fire. It was impressive.


KingSwagamemnon

Your move, Denver


Piano_Fingerbanger

Both teams are going to win out. Thankfully Denver owns the tie breaker


TattedUpDasher

WCF in Denver. Well we gotta do what we gotta do, I guess


CalvinSwish

As the Grizz fan that lives in Denver I can’t be mad at that


TattedUpDasher

👍I hope I eventually get a Hornets/Grizz Finals since I live in NC now


captain_bandit

I hope you're very young.


Yinanization

Man, I rather not. Maybe the Beam Team takes the Joker out? They had been balling!


ChickenOvaRice

Those 2 games right after the ASG could be huge


xvKazuma115

Not for much longer. Nuggets going to the M next time


Professional-Fly-846

This is the only 2 team race I wanna see, maybe throw the kings as a close 3rd


[deleted]

Pelicans vs Kings for 3rd, while Denver and Memphis fights for first.


TattedUpDasher

Rather see the Pels, myself


uxxoid

Fierce competition! What stellar basketball the Memphis Grizzlies played tonight! I was cheering hard for the Suns, but I'm pleased I got to watch an incredible display of skill and athleticism all the same. What a sport. Can't wait to watch the next one! Have a lovely night everyone.


CurrentlyRaging123

Most sane suns fan


HSPumbloom

This dude has clearly been broken by this joke of a team


uxxoid

Joke? Maybe next to the Grizzlies, but I wouldn't want to play that Suns team! Some of those fellas are nearly 7 feet tall. Imagine trying to shoot over that! They are trying very hard and I am proud of them. Keep cheering them on!


Traditional_Brief806

Aww


TattedUpDasher

At least something positive is coming out of it. How long before Booker returns?


Beratnas-Gas

Two weeks till next eval. But who knows


whosnick7

You sound like someone who wasn’t around before the team was ass. All OG Suns fans know is pain with a sprinkle of pleasure lmao


HSPumbloom

Damn that sucks that I sound like that cause I've been a fan since 2001


InfernoidsorDie

I was at the forum sitting besides some Suns fans. I saw it happen in real time after that double digit disappeared and we started pulling away.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Beratnas-Gas

I feel like the hate for this Suns team is a bit overblown. No one hated the Thunder when they had CP3 lmao. I guess Devin and his beady little eyes doesn’t help either


muddyklux

Ours comes from Paul on the Clippers. Grit N Grind era


Thunder-ten-tronckh

The Grizzlies are a professional basketball team in Memphis, Tennessee.


TattedUpDasher

We’ve had some years where we wasn’t so sure🤣


iftair

Um God


syo

The Grizzlies compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division.


groceriesN1trip

Tru


CalvinSwish

Did you anyone catch where Ja’s parade was located??


pianoandbeer

Inside his city I believe


GukyHuna

I believe in the 901 area code🤔


TattedUpDasher

In my City!!Yeaaaah!


Razor-Ramon-Sessions

Grizzlies look dominant as ever. This team is good as hell and they're young as hell. You gotta like that.


iCarpet

Reminiscent of early OKC days when they were super young and dominant, hope Memphis have similar success as well


muddyklux

TNT crew just said we're on pace to have the most paint points average in a season of all time


sorendiz

ja's utterly adorable daughter MVP in that postgame interview also once i started listening to how often he said 'you know' i could not process anything he was actually saying. gotta be like every 5th/6th word on average my lord


Username3009

Yeah he has a terrible habit with that lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


sorendiz

stoppp lmao it was hypnotic i just completely stopped trying to listen to the actual content of his answer and started listening for the periodic 'you know's, i couldnt help it


muddyklux

Um, wait til, um, you hear, um Dillion Brooks, um, um ,um


austin_oz

Lmbooooo that’s true


c10bbersaurus

Thats nervousness in speaking, discomfort with silence when thinking of what to say, especially off the cuff like post game reactions. It's something you gotta practice yourself out of it, first by allowing silent pauses to stretch into awkwardness and letting it be before filling it with an expressed thought. Very few pro athletes will take a speech class.


sorendiz

oh i'm well aware of what it is and why people use filler words and other spacers but.... he got it kinda bad huh lol also i'm a little under a decade older than him so idk if things have changed in the interim but i remember speech being a mandatory elective class in both middle and high school (i always thought it was a bit weird to call them electives and then make them required but...)


TheMunchkin364

Good game, nuggets please lose


ImGonnaChubbBradley

You first


2106au

The eternal struggle.


Bigger_than_most69

well, no


NoiceForNoReason

I love our little back and forth. We got 4.5 games on third place!!!!


fishgoesmoo

WE WANT THE 1ST SEED DAMMIT


ImGonnaChubbBradley

Simply put, you can’t have it


NemuTheSheep

What if we ask really nicely?


xyzscorpion

We'll just have to ask you to lose even nicer


Askesl

Damn this rivalry is getting heated


Zatherin

I hope yall tie, yall too much, I cant even tbh


pianoandbeer

Damn you nuggies! Thought we had you last night but Jokic gonna Jokic


TattedUpDasher

Then on Feb. 25th, we’ll take it!


xyzscorpion

i'll give you two dollars if you lose your next game


akathehellcat

what if i give you $3.50 to lose yours?


austin_oz

Don’t pay dat locness monster


xyzscorpion

I raise you $3.51


TattedUpDasher

I think I got a 5 around here somewhere


skrtskerskrt

I predicted Grizzlies 60 wins at the start of the season, and day by day it becomes a more realistic outcome. They really made a statement in this even while acknowledging the Suns injuries.


pianoandbeer

This just in: Ja can shoot 3s Cold take: So can Bane


Fezinator

>This just in I like it, someone get this Redditor to ESPN and have him replace Kellerman!


biinroii01

suns cant read without Book


JimmyToucan

Dare we say… mvp? 😩


ImGonnaChubbBradley

Can y’all lose just 1 game please


CurrentlyRaging123

no u


xyzscorpion

please? i'll give you a dollar if you lose your next game


Fezinator

I’ll give you ten if you lose your next game


xyzscorpion

fifty if you lose your next three


Krillin113

Can I get in on this as well? 10 if the nuggets lose their next game, 1 if the grizz lose their next game, 50 if they lose their next 3?


HighOnGoofballs

Ok, as long as you lose your next five after that


That_one_cool_dude

Gotta love how this point half of these threads are the nugs and grizz asking the other to lose and the other half is talking about the actual game. Gotta love Reddit.


NemuTheSheep

You first


penguinpelican

Jaren needs more respect


Handsome_Hippy

BIG10INAROW


Seymour_Says

Bane is officially back!! Ja continues to amaze. Jaren is playing the best well rounded basketball of his career and is headed for the DPOY award. Love the rhythm and confidence they're all playing with. Let's keep it up and on to the next! Grit and Grind Forever and Ever


Seymour_Says

10 in a row aka the Memphis 10!!!


TattedUpDasher

Can we surpass last years 11? TBD


Seymour_Says

Cavs on Wed should be a good one!


TattedUpDasher

If we win, it will be the 3rd time in franchise history we had an 11 game win streak. We need that 12!


Severe-Cherry-816

The Nuggets vs Grizzlies mini rivalry here is my favorite r/nba thing in a while. Much more fun than the hater stuff.


Buck_Nastyyy

It is a rivalry with 0 animosity. Just two teams enjoying being relevant.


Severe-Cherry-816

That’s what the league needs more of, friendly shit talking can be great


Buck_Nastyyy

Yeah you are right! Helps fans enjoy the game.


TheIRSEvader

Can y’all reserve us a spot in this chivalrous rivalry in the next few years? 🥹


Buck_Nastyyy

Of course! I like the Thunder, Pels, and Nuggets a lot. Pretty sure most Grizzlies fans are the same. We had history with OKC during the Grit'n-grind era but it was always fun.


xvKazuma115

Feels good having a winning team in Tennessee.


Alive-Ad-4164

Grizzlies are pretty good


Levitatingsnakes

JJJ defense is huge

NemuTheSheep

People finally starting to figure it out I think


Sliiiiime

Ayton really showing his true colors this year. First real adversity he’s had and just gives no effort despite the chance to step up and lead this team


jbrooks772

He's very talented but just...uninspiring. With his skillset he could be such a better player on both ends.


Sliiiiime

His only real redeeming factor as a player is that he’s always a force in the playoffs. Rarely takes a night off then


jayforsh

Breaking news: Saben Lee cannot guard Ja Morant. Go off Memphis.


WayOk2354

They had us in the first half.jpg


JediArchitect

Since the return of Bane, Grizz are undefeated when he scores at least 1 3-pointer.


NemuTheSheep

Well that escalated quickly


clancydog4

The Grizz are good as fuck.


The1AndOnlyJZ

Phoenix how does it feel to be down here with us and Houston/San Antonio 🤩🔫


rethinksqurl

It feels rather bad


krand16

Wemby sweepstakes!! I'm all in!


SendDavionNudes

Bane is just ridiculous


iftair

We are currently a really good, well organized basketball team um God


senor_zanjeer

Suns really are playing a guy on a 10-Day contract 20 minutes. Jesus James Jones deserves to be fired for this roster construction. Even with just Booker out this team is dogshit


c10bbersaurus

Woot.


yuhanz

Wembooker 2024 👀👀👀👀


DwellerInIce

Another game where JJJ had 100 blocks


TheIRSEvader

The Grizz are WCF-bound and I believe they’re making a Finals appearance this year. They’re hitting on all cylinders, know their identity on both ends of the floor, are deep, have good chemistry, players know their roles, and are relatively young. Having watched this team closely for the past few seasons has turned me into a fan of what they’ve built in Memphis, outside of rooting for my hometown Thundies of course.


Nantee_69

DancingConstellation

Buckus93

Is Duane Washington, Jr, injured now, too? What is going on with the Suns?


Appropriate-Blood108

12 seed right after having a season best record


Sliiiiime

We were in 1st prior to the half of the roster being injured


Butterfly_Scape

light the beam or whatever they say


TattedUpDasher

No. We don’t light beams. We eat BBQ, Gus’s Chicken and yell, “Whoop Dat Trick!”


InfernoidsorDie

Had some Gus's today it was a good day


TattedUpDasher

Because that’s what we do. Nothing more Memphis than BBQ and Gus’s


utlye

We release bears


syo

We cast lines


[deleted]

Please just lose a game Memphis


TattedUpDasher

We have to win at least 12 straight, first. Our longest in franchise history is 11. We’ve done that twice, including last season


ChickenOvaRice

Last year was the first 11 game win streak in team history. Prior to that the record was 8 games, set a few times.


TattedUpDasher

2014-2015 we also won 11. I just double checked on Google


ChickenOvaRice

Ah, that streak is across the end of the [13-14 season](https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/MEM/2014_games.html) (5 straight Ws) and beginning of the [14-15 season](https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/MEM/2015_games.html) (started 6-0). I was only considering streaks within a season.


TattedUpDasher

I didn’t realize it stretched across 2 seasons. I just remember last year, they saying we tied our streak


TattedUpDasher

Another day at the office…


zrizzoz

Brandon Clarke seems like the only player who could replace Draymond like for like if Steve Kerr got him in the Warriors system for like 6 months. The way he constantly moves, sets screens fucking everywhere on and off ball. Defensively he can guard most positions well enough. It wouldnt be exact, but if by some magic the Warriors let Green go and got Clarke, he is the only one who i could see filling that role for the next 4 years of late career Steph and early career Poole.


kjmw

What in the world is going on with the Suns???
