The Grizzlies went on an 11-3 run coming out of this timeout, so I think he succeeded in firing them up to some extent. But it was too little, too late.

    This really hurts to see. I know the Grizzlies fans appreciate him, but I want the team to be healthy for Marcus.

      Marcus gotta get healthy too. 3 weeks til Ja is back, hopefully most get healthy by then (Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke excluded).

    It’s gonna be interesting to see what this team is like when Ja comes back. I don’t know how the chemistry will be between him and Smart, ideally Ja can grow as a player by having someone like Smart around.

        We’ll only be missing 6 players instead of 7; so probably still bad.

        Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson, Haywood Highsmith, Orlando Robinson, Max Strus…

        These Grizz fans are WILD lmaoo

      Smart will play next to anyone trying to win. Ja wants to win, bonehead life choices aside, I know he wants to be back on the court helping his team.

    I hope he kicks a trash can next time he tells someone it’s embarrassing. That’s the kind of motivation you need to get that W boys

    Always irked me that he got the first perimeter defender DPOY in years, then was a non-factor against Steph. I realize Steph does that to everyone, but it just made the award seem meaningless

      Cause he was great in the regular season. Embiid won fucking MVP and got locked down by Horford in the playoffs.

    3 guys bet on who can make their wife scream more from sex They make the bet and decide to all go home and have sex with their wives and compare results the next day.

    Next day comes along and they meet to discuss. Guy #1 says “I fucked my wife so hard, she was screaming for like 20 minutes.” Guy #2 says “that’s nothing. I fucked my wife with a dildo in her ass at the same time and she was screaming for an hour!” Guy #3 says “amateurs! I fucked my wife for 15 seconds, came on the curtains, and she’s still screaming at me!”
