Their shooting has gone to pot. Quinerly can't get an open shot it seems. Did anyone shoot free throws besides Malcolm? When I watch other teams on the weekends I realize how much worse Memphis has become. What can Penny tell them in the dressing room?

WTF kind of lineup is that with 2 minutes left in the half??

The only lineup that worked was JQ, DJ, Brown, Malco and Jourdain.

Hey, at least Jaden TRIES to crash the offensive glass. All the "starters" just stand around and allow themselves to get blocked out.

He doesn't. 2nd worst rebounder on the team besides his brother.

Actually Penny needs to slow the substitutions, quit playing that reaching, overplaying defense that doesn't work & makes rebounding difficult with so many guys out of position.

What kind of halftime talk can Penny even give at this point? He's clearly not getting through to them no matter what he says.

At some point you have to reward effort over talent when Talent ain't doing 5hit.

Probably Penny trying to find ways to get these players to play even better, and trying to find more open shots. Keep playing defense like you are doing, but be more physical.

I don’t like the Hardaway kids in the game together, but what else do you not like? Young isn’t Tiger good, but JQ can’t play the whole game.

Generally speaking, we have a shortage of quality guards.

DeAndre in the house…

Unbelievable, we're shooting 30%, with 9 turnovers and some of you are whining about officiating.

If we were not controlling the boards and getting 8 second chance points we would be getting blown out due to our play.

OFFICIATING is not an issue.

We need more DAWGS on the court.

Wolo asked about Brown playing pregame— Penny mentioned it depended on how his gut felt. This encapsulates how his rotations have been his entire tenure— no real plan, doesn’t really consult analytics— he just goes by his gut

Maybe that will light a fire.

Lovely. CBS feed is horrible. Unwatchable here in Michigan. Maybe I should be grateful?

This. DeAndre or any tough nosed defensive player would transform this team.

Gotta be your provider. My feed is flawless.

Malco’s body language is terrible

Can we get rid of the names under the players? Annoying as hell.
