You need a good coach against a team like the Clipps.

Josh Hart is my favorite basketball player

Don't laugh me off the board....

This might be a game for Jah to get a few minutes.

Great defensive possession from Ingram to prompt the steal and then the transition finish. He's been really good this first half

Favors went from being the missing piece to liability real quick for this team

Review for what???

It's so strange because he does still play defense and rebound really well, but there's just zero offense from him.

In Utah, he was a really effective roller and garbage man type. Where has all of that gone? Was his back injury earlier this year truly that significant? He used to have a little bounce lol

How is that even an offensive foul?

Better reverse that offensive call.

:hihi:

They should review Allen for a flagrant if they reviewed Zo for that bs

Uh oh Jrue

Dude... I hate reckless nba players. You already lost the angle man... Don't try to injure another player.

Scrappy players are annoying

Halftime stats:

Lonzo: 7 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals. 2/3 shooting (66.6%). 19 minutes.
Jrue: 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals. 4/7 shooting (57.1%) 17 minutes
Ingram: 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1/1 stl/blk. 3/8 shooting (37.5%). 17 minutes
Zion: 11 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists. 5/11 shooting (45.4%). 10 minutes.
Favors: 0 points, 7 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 block. 0/3 shooting (0%). 13 minutes.

Redick: 8 points.
Hart:7 points, 4 rebounds, 0 assists. 2/2 shooting. 12 minutes

Much much much better defense by everyone all game long so far.

Exactly, and it doesn't help that it's Grayson Allen who has a history of being dirty af

They are winning only because they have more talent than Memphis. That is it.

Other than that, they should be up 15 or 20. But this is not a well coached team. Hardly no one on the court has any awareness whatsoever.

It's like they wanted to give Memphis as many shots as they could in the last 2 minutes.

Really happy with Ball's development. I was one of his biggest critic. I really like to see him fillout with a stronger frame and legs before I give up on his driving ability.


He would be the most improved throughout the season if not for BI. Love them both..

Zion and his shoes lol

Lonzo airball no fun

Cannot believe Zion missed that gimme.

Honestly, given that, Lonzo's layup into the bottom of the backboard, Moore's transition layup into thin air, etc, I think we're cursed in the bubble.

They gave Zion a whistle!


Shocked frankly

Too many passes, Ingram could have taken that shot but he passed it to Lonzo who could have taken that shot but he passed it to Favors, turnover.

Ingram just ignores every possible pass to force up a shot. No call.

Ingram gets his second tech in the last 2 games.

Legs are getting tired.

Pels offense has just gone stagnant. No off ball movement really, just blergh

Man... These refs.

Our collective basketball IQ is in the single digits.

That's like 3 straight possessions... the only pass in there were in-bounds passes. Crazy. ISO ball.

It's just so insane to me. Like, if you are holding the ball and you don't have a clear advantage or angle, why not move it?

Once again...Zion with #22 totally ineffective in the third quarter.

Oh boy. We are better than this team. Come on dudes

Tie game.

FFS

Get 5 out there that's gonna play team ball. The starting 5 has no juice.

Don't be afraid Jrue. Either shoot or don't.

Too many passes again

Jrue had nobody within 10 feet. Just shoot the damned ball.

Memphis clamping down. Pels think going faster helps, but it just makes it worse.

Jrue passed up a wide open 3 right there. We don’t get those often. You have to trust yourself a little bit there

Idk what he was thinking lol.

Twice Jrue has had a wide open shot and has just turned it down.

Shoot. the. BALL.

Trash possession

We are... problem is we're not playing better than they are we should be up at least 20.

One team is playing like they need it right now.

Pathetic.

Miracle shot from Hart

Menphis figured us out.
