I’m a Mavs fan, and I just had to check in on y’all because I would be fuming after that one. But it’s good to hear that you’ve got good perspective. Grizzlies win that game 9 times out of 10. This is a fun team to watch with the grit they play with. Praying y’all stay healthy because the playoffs will be way better with y’all there 🙏 Also if you beat us next time, I won’t be here because I’m too petty ✌️😎
I have never seen a team decide to just foul every defensive possession down the stretch. It was the worst closing performance I've seen in almost 40 years of watching basketball. No excuse for that 4th quarter.
Taylor Jenkins poor rotation system keeping starters on the bench against playoff teams doesn't compete. Look at Dallas rotation. This is nothing new from Jenkins. He's rotating entire lineup early?
A lot of people were hyping up smart cause he played well against sub par teams. the minute he played competition bro was absolutely horrible and cost us the game. need him gone by the deadline ! He’s not a good bb player 💯 And right on time Jenkins took to long to put our players back in as well. That colapse was inexcusable !
You gotta have a worm in ur brain if u think 6’3 Marcus Genius Smart should be standing next to 6’4 Desmond Bane in the SMALL FORWARD POSITION in the 2024-25 NBA
It’s a bad loss but we were on a 6-0 run. That 4th quarter, silly mistakes, Boneheaded moments, reviews just messed it up. There was no flow, and when you’re trying to play with pace, it’s tough. Marcus Smart can definitely play but last night was bad, he’s a professional and his play was very unprofessional. He’s human, he has bad days but last night was tough to watch. It’s something to think about come playoff time, don’t want another Brooks 2.0. Especially with how deep our team is
Desmond Bane has slowly turned into our worst wing defender... He commits so many dumb fouls... Also, Desmond is driving the ball to the basket way too much now... He doesn't finish around the rim good enough for that...
I was particularly annoyed when he tackled PJ after a turnover right in front of the ref….no call. Memphis might have gotten the short end on the foul calls in the 4th, but the were extremely physical the entire game. At any point they could have had an avalanche of calls against them. On the bright side, the Mavs tried to give it back by missing half of those free throws.
Just remember Jaren had 14 points at half on 8 attempts. He only had 3 attempts until a 1:30 left in the game. Morant,Jaren, and Jenkins is to blame for this lost. As a point guard you got to get Jaren the ball in his spots. Jaren is a player and star he got to demand the ball instead of sitting in the corner. Jenkins got to know that his team needs a spark and both players in the game at the same time. Jaren and Ja have to cause good problems and demand they need to play at least 35 minutes. They are to nice when it comes to this
Taylor Jenkins cost the Team the game. Not playing the Starters until 3mins left in the 4th qtr is a Fireable offense. Play your Best players more mins!!! We need a New Coach 🙏🏾
Everyone has bad games, and right now its pile on Smart which isn't fair. The Grizz need to be able to battle through ref bias as it's going to happen when they go against big market teams if they're going to win in the playoffs. Jaren is a professional and took on the responsibility for the team, even when its not his fault. There are a lot of reasons to be optimistic.
I agree. Every team has bad games. The Grizzlies can't continue to put themselves in a position where the ref can call a foul. We will take it and learn.
This game was a reminder of the importance of Vince and GG. If either had played I believe we win because we could have had them on Luka and not have lost offensive production
I wasn't able to see the game....can someone explain exactly what Marcus Smart did to help the Mavs so much? I see all the comments so it must be pretty bad.
Scores 111-106 Memphis, Luka shoots an air ball that's headed out of bounds and Smart dives after it for no reason and steps on the out of bounds line giving Dallas the ball back. Then a minute later the scores 111-108 Memphis, Luka secures a rebound 95ft from the basket and Smart just hacks him going for a steal giving the Mavs free throws because we were in the bonus. So he gave away a possession and 2 free throws in the last 3 minutes of the game just being dumb trying to play hero.
@calvinluciano somebody with some sense finally. Mavs are great and have great closers. Both teams will be there at the end and we will see how it turns
@@ek1743check our record this year against .500 teams. We have a losing record. And against western conference +.500 teams we are worse. No one cares if we beat the trailblazers and pistons
They add games to Grizz schedule for not makin winning cup matches?! wth... Thats why I didn't want them winning in the first place (to avoid extra games)... Now I am even more convinced that this cup stuff is pointless. People already dont want to play 82 games and load manage. Now extra games just to get an insignificant trophy.
The problem with the free throws, non of those mavs free throws were bad calls . Smart made idiotic plays. No excuses grizzlies have to close that game.
Play your starters to close, other NBA teams big 3 playing 35 minutes. 11 man rotation works , but when you have to tighten it up those guys, bench guys, are not going to get those minutes unless they cooking. We lost but we learned something soft players you can’t close with them. Aldama Has been scoring lately getting better defensively. Huff, Pippen , and LaRavia definitely tough, hustlers, can score. Go with that ! Smart not some one that will get grace from many fans , he got to score and defend in his role. Let’s see when Edey, Gigi, and Vince return, I believe this fix our problems. Bane,Morant,Jackson their scoring has been off because of the new offense. Bane off the ball catch and shoot or drive , back to Bane train. Got 3 years to win a championship don’t mess it up, some fans
The difference in freethrows was because Dallas was in the bonus damb near at the 10 minute mark in the fourth qt. Grizzlies are aggressive on defense which leads to a lot of fouls.
Kinda bad offensive night?! It’s one thing to not shoot and not score but it’s another thing to shoot and not score. If you’re off maybe don’t shoot early in the shot clock and let others touch the ball like Ja, Jaren or Bane. Or maybe don’t try to save the ball when it was off on the Mavs or not gamble and try and steal the ball when we’re in the bonus?!
Grizz fans overreacting about 1 game. Grizz played well most of the game. Foul differential was crazy and there were some bad plays at the end. Grizz are more talented than the Mavs, and they will learn to execute better by playing in games like this‼️‼️
You'd think/hope so, but I've seen this story before. I'm trying not to call people out, but I don't think there's much more growth to be had for some players
@@GrizzliesEdits tbh, saying you've seen this story before about a new collection of players, most being under 27 years old is crazy ! In what world can guys not get better when they haven't played in these types of games in 2 or 3 years? You're probably just a naturally pessimistic guy
@@ek1743 If it sounds crazy, you're probably misunderstanding me because those points don't apply to the people I'm referring to. Jenkins(rotations), Smart(obvious), Ja(hero ball at the wrong times), and Jaren(not demanding the ball because he's our best player) will change.
Bro, that’s literally Luke only movies had the whole time he’s been in the NBA If Marcus Martin can’t go to get a deal of Luka Dončić dude when he’s slowing down the game or making a joke, then dude he needs to retire
Smart was all pro at Boston! He wasn't a bench player. Laravia is a joke! No rebounding or blocked shots without Edey! Taylor Jenkins was outcoached again!
Bro, yeah, what’s wrong with the deep rotation, bro with the injuries ever in the past are you? You literally are hating in coaching why don’t u apply lol
Why y’all complaining about free throws when they were shooting terribly from the line lmfaoooo LETS GO MAVS !!!!!!!!!!!! Also yall are the 3rd team in the league that fouls the most. Do better.
As a Mavs fan, I would like to speak for all the Mavs by sending Marcus Smart a massive thank you

Even after last season. First time I've ever sat in silence after a loss 😂 This one hit different, but I'm over it now. We live and hopefully learn
Honestly, the Mavs really gave the game away, but the Grizzlies wanted to give it away more lol

A playoff type game and the same ol problems rear their heads. Jenkins is NOT a good under pressure coach and last night proved it again.
Worst 12 minutes of basketball I’ve ever seen in my life. Might as well give Smart a Mavs jersey. Absolutely embarrassing all around
Smart was showing a lot of love to his hometown of Dallas lol
Smart can definitely get a Mavs jersey. Welcome home buddy. 😂

I'm having to come to terms with that, too. It's way more than his shots not falling.
ifyour wing defender has a wingspan of a 2 year old t-rex, it really wont go to well.

W with the Vols shirt. 🐻〽️
Non existent offensive rebounding in Q4 cost them bad - the sooner Edey is back the better
No ticky tac fouls in this game. Refs let them play but the grizzle’s went too far with the physical play.
You gonna ignore the free throws when they ain’t gonna be like that
Shit is getting old man. Jenkins can't beat good teams.
We will see the Mavs again!

Up and down basketball doesn’t win championships… play your best 5 no matter what
This loss is on MARCUS SMART and EDEY (For being injured)
My bad I read comments before I was 13 minutes in but u did mention it too but it’s not first game
For every 1 good game smart has, he has 2-3 bad ones. Dude is just not worth it….. this is why Boston got rid of him. I hope they trade him soon
Last night confirmed why we aren’t considered title contenders 😂
The 22nd game of the regular season confirmed we aren't title contenders? Sure buddy

Sound like Dillon brooks to me we could’ve kept him
No disrespect to Joe but I do wish you were solo running this channel
I could deal with Marcus smart if he didn't shoot so much. He is terrible offensively and shouldn't shoot more than 3 times per game
Stop fouling on every play if you want the other team to shoot less FT
