Combined with horrible ref calls and it's pretty clear what happened.

Outside of AD and Cousins the team sucks

Bout to give up my free tickets to the GSW game on Friday night. I can’t sit through this in real life amongst a gaggle of bandwagon dub nation “fans” man lol.

PS - I’m kidding. I would never pass on a free t-shirt. Lol.

its just the 1st game,,calm down people...friday will be a better day....

Pels play out of a timeout leads to a mid-range airball

it's painful to watch

Yeah. I think this is a big part of it.

I agree with you to an extent. But a good coach wouldn't allow the crap that is happening on that court. Name me a good NBA coach, and he would have pulled some of these guys for not running the offense.

Both AD and Cousins on the perimeter? Unacceptable.

Gasol just picked up foul #s 4 & 5

He has destroyed this ball club with his ridiculous contracts

yep... Wesley wanting to know why AD isn't down on the block

Jordan Crawford plays arguably the worst defense in the league

How to beat the Pelicans: put a SF on AD and front him. When he occasionally gets an entry pass, double him. Hard. Profit

not to mention we've started turning the ball over like it's part of the job description

Who is the best available ball handler? Crawford's contract is not guaranteed....

And just like that, the hype is gone.

Moore is a bad weak link in this offense. We need a true PG (missing Rhondo badly) and true spacers.

I hope the Pelicans have Jameer Nelson on the phone.

AD and 1

AD going back to the FT line for 2

guess what happens when AD goes inside

Ad is a free throw machine this quarter. (He missed as I typed this)

Hold most on this forum Loved Jrue Holiday now he is a Bum?
He has always had this game nothing new

I was excited for this season, until I remember NBA referees.
That being said, we are too vulnerable to bad calls and mentally this is a bad team, none of the leader is stepping up to take the responsibilities and guide the others to the right path. That's could be the coach job I suppose, but well, Gentry is doing the same and complains all night long to the refs as well...

The worst is that with our roster and the defense we want to play, we gonna have a lot of nights like that and that will kill us.

Tyreke getting superstar calls? Yeah this one is over

Real possibility in the future people say Jrue Holiday was a dooming move or something like that. We shouldn't have paid him, etc. But at the time, I recall no legit recourse. Because just not signing him, letting him walk and getting nothing was not an option.

Crawford really is garbage on defense

The Grizzlies are just playing whack AD.

It's just one game. Let's not panic.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Crawford trying a 3 from 5 ft behind the arc for some apparent reason

Definite lack of mental toughness that we’ve allowed the refs to psyche us out of a game that we’re not out of.

why does crawford shoot from so far behind the 3 pt line?

Jordan Crawford has put the Grizz on the line seemingly every possession this quarter

Can’t blame anyone for not wearing rose colored glasses... this team looks bad. Memphis will be lucky to win 35 games and they look decidedly better than us.

Crawford is not a guy you want to play heavy minutes. He's a spark plug. If he's not hot right away. He's detrimental.

Stuff like that gets magnified when you don't hit it consistently.

Brooks is better than any guard on our roster

Keep in mind, 1/3 of our roster is out due to injury.

This Brooks kid...

We lost Rondo and we've never looked a fraction as good in terms of ball movement and such ever since.

I can't tell if the Pels or the refs are worse

True but it's also the gameplan/offense/defense. It's been that way since Gentry got here.

we dont have any back up bigs tonight...AD and cousins are tired....

It doesn't need to be an either or.

Disturbing trend:

Tyreke Evans (13 minutes): 7 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists

Jrue Holiday (33 minutes): 4 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists

— Oleh Kosel (@OlehKosel) October 19, 2017

only 30 pts from guys not named Anthony Davis & DeMarcus Cousins

Hield seems to have gone backwards so far this season

Fair to say we won that trade

Would love to know if our rookie 2nd rounder would make an immediate impact like Brooks has. But that freaking broken foot, man...

We could use a dynamic playmaker like him.

Just lol at this Brooks guy. Ridiculous.
