I think I watched this same movie last year

Memphis hasn't played a team that's a lock for the NCAA Tournament since December 28th when it beat Ole Miss.

That's 57 days ago.

The dog days of February continue for the Tigers today at FedExForum.

This is so embarrassing

[Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie]

Think the Grizzlies’ Jaylen Wells is clearly the Rookie of the Year so far at the midseason mark of the NBA.

No rookie has been as consistently valuable as the late-bloomer second rounder.

[Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie]

Talked about Jaren Jackson Jr.'s special season with the Memphis Grizzlies so far.

We had him midseason second-team All-NBA over on @GameTheorySamV.

Think he's closer to being first team All-NBA than he is to being third-team All-NBA.

[Fred Katz @FredKatz]

Not talked about enough: The Grizzlies' local broadcast is really, really great.

[Zak @BarnBurnerZak]

Grizzlies gonna play some perimeter defense or naw?

[Zak @BarnBurnerZak]

@TheBarnChief Give it to ‘em, Chief

[Zak @BarnBurnerZak]

Hehe

Looks like he’s trying to do a hardcore dance two step

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

It appears 1 second will be put on the clock. Kenny is not happy. The field must be cleared.

[Hoop Central @TheHoopCentral]

Jay Huff tonight:

18 Points
7/9 FGM
3/5 3PM

Underrated. 🔥

[Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez]

With Jack White entering the game for Memphis at the next timeout, he'll become the 33rd player to suit up for the Grizzlies this season - further extending Memphis' NBA record.

Prior to this season (Pistons are at 31), Houston had the most with 30 players in 2020-21.

[Zak @BarnBurnerZak]

I hate watching Cabral play soccer

[Zak @BarnBurnerZak]

Rough call. Would have let that go

[Hoop Central @TheHoopCentral]

Is this an offensive foul? 🤔

[Zak @BarnBurnerZak]

I could see them making a deep run. Elite Eight or Final Four is possible.

[Omari Sankofa II @omarisankofa]

Ivey, Sasser, Umude, Stewart and Duren will start tonight

[Zak @BarnBurnerZak]

Ehh sometimes it’s better just to close up shop and move on.

"Give your players and coaches a chance to keep coaching and playing."

Tom Crean did not hold back on teams declining invites to the NIT.

@MSavage901 Exactly who he reminds me of

[Michael Grange @michaelgrange]

“There just needs to be a general rule: no bullshit allowed” — Steve Kerr on need to bring some defensive balance to the NBA. Says it starts with refs not enabling offensive players manipulating calls. “Some of this stuff … if you tried it in a pick up game you’d start a fight.”

[Zak @BarnBurnerZak]

The Rapids are at it again!
