Added to Calendar: 05-29-21

Memphis had way too many offensive rebounds.

Conley was efficient and Favs looked good with those blocks and a lot of rebounds in a fairly short amount of time.

Now we must go up 3-1 so we can beat them at home and move on....

True. But He’s shooting 39 percent this year, higher than Mitchell and higher than Conley’s career averages. Is 39 percent not very good? He shot 32 percent from 3 with us.

Edit: I honestly haven’t kept up much with league stats this year. But I think 39 percent is pretty darn respectable. Not automatic but pretty good. Right?

He’s pretty close to Bogie. Not as high as Royce or Jingles.

We seemed to be hitting the boards and hustling a lot more in that first half than in the second. I saw bad habits return of bad defense and standing around as they pounded us on the glass.

Oh yeah - it's from the movie "Hustle and Flow" which takes place in Memphis.

Also bears mentioning the song was written by a guy with a long history of beating up women.

They used to play it in the arena during the grit and grind era. So there is history but just thought as a league they were above this.

I get that most people aren’t necessarily thinking “hey beating women is awesome“. Just feels like maybe we shouldn’t ignore it since it’s literally the chorus of the song. Certainly shouldn’t think it’s lit... IDK

He was good in college too. He didn’t get consistent playing time and was in his first couple years (maybe only his rookie year... can’t remember) so an adjustment period was always going to be there. His shot is pretty. Shooting was never the question... he was an atrocious defender... like automatic buckets for the other team. He’s not great but he’s passable now. I always thought he’d be an nba player but more of a third guard. He wasn’t a terrible pick imo... he wasn’t my first choice but there was some rationale behind the pick.

We need to put them away earlier than later. I think Brooks could cheap shot someone and actually hurt them... JV is also physical as hell... Save Rudy some pounding. Hopefully we have that killer instinct... Memphis won’t quit... I’m impressed with their resolve and Jenkins seems like a really good coach. They are on a great path.

This and so much this. JV and Brooks are headcases ready to explode. I can see them wanting to hurt one of our guys as their season comes to an end. Better put them away fast and early to limit their opportunities at hurting one of our guys.

And Allen always makes me nervous when he’s out there.
