Not sure you could call it a crowd at this point. "Smattering or basketball masochists" maybe. Grizzlies injury situation is so grim right now.

[–] Sure_Station9370@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ja is back soon. They’ll still be devastated by injuries but he can steer them back on track to maybe a 6 seed or play in spot.

[–] Disastrous-Object22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oh yeah I guess it's only ten more games until Ja is back, time flies. I'm less confident they can get even to a play-in spot because in 46 games last year without Steven Adams they were only 25-21 including the playoffs, and the top 11 teams in the West right now all look relatively competitive. I think Adams was just hugely important as a screen setter and especially offensive rebounder on a team that just does not shoot well. But as a neutral I'm excited to just see better basketball from them with Ja.

I wouldn't bet a single dollar that the Grizzlies even make it to the play-in this year. 3-12 start is bad, and if its 20 (ish) losses when Morant comes back the season is over.

Aight calm down, I was at the game and most people had left by this point. Starters got pulled like 2-3 minutes before this for the Grizz

[–] Disastrous-Object22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah no shit they had left. I'm not saying that was the attendance at the start of the first quarter, hence the part where I said "at this point," a phrase which means "at the time of." People tend to leave en masse when the game gets out of hand in favor of the away team, which happens a lot when a team is having grim season like Memphis.

PTSD from all the Grizzlies should get moved back to Vancouver or relocated garbage

[–] Disastrous-Object22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Fair enough lol, I don't want your team moved!

such a beautiful court and color scheme. the gold grizzlies logo is a great touch.

[–] OnePotPenny@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

being offended by this is so lame..the whole culture of not shooting on this possession is lame.

[–] Buckus93@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It matters for the in-season tournament, where point differential counts. But yeah, otherwise Booker wouldn't have played the last five minutes or so.

Holy cow that arena has a lot of open seats!! 😳

[–] HelenKellerFakedIt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yup. It’s even worse when you realize you can get tickets to our games for $5….We are so bad

[–] Buckus93@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but that's like $50 after TicketMaster's fees...LoL.

[–] Pepephend@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Still would be awesome to go to a game for that cheap though!

[–] shoppedpixels@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Down a ton with a few seconds left on a holiday weekend? I would've left too. Those spots in the lower bowl are always pricey, generally around 150 to 200 and up depending on the game. Had a friend list theirs for 175 today. Forum is a fun place to see a good game though, it gets loud.

[–] darcj@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Was just the end of the game and they were down a lot. Probably was at like 70% capacity if I had to guess (was there)

[–] Right-Worth-6327@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So many empty seats

"The Crowd don't understand". Got me laughing, it's like war of the worlds type shit. With people not understanding there wasn't actually a UFO invasion.
