    I like how Hollins is pointing out Sengun. Outside of Green there is no one playing defense tonight.

    If Jabari is on Giannis, need another guy to go in there and maybe take a charge.

    Can't block Giannis, but can block his path, and force him to his shallow dribble package.

    Wake up call for Jabari.

    So much for day one defensive impact maker.

    I think he’ll be ok though. Gotta get in the weight room.


    Whatever is going on with that shot he needs to work on that too.

    Memphis is down 24 in the 1st quarter to Dallas

    B2B’s just lead to some bad basketball

    Smith looks like a human paper towel on D against Giannis lol

    People made a lot of Holmgrens weight but Smith clearly has a long way to go himself

    Jabari has a great frame. He’ll be able to put on muscle like Giannis in no time.

    It kills me that a guy who is so much more physical and athletic than everybody else gets those ticky-tacky little fouls like he's a 180 lb weakling suffering from anemia.

    Giannis should be illegal.

    Literally every single missed attempt by Giannis a foul is called. Not to mention the and 1s. We aren't fouling that much, right??

    This is great experience for Jabari. Y’all can’t expect him to guard Giannis. When he bulks up, he’ll be able to hold his own. I’m not worried

    When you a young assistant coach and they ask you how you going to win down 19 at half to a team toying with you.

    yeah we got to get out there and run.


    Ok.

    Experienced NBA coach: we getting our booty kicked tonight and I wouldn’t want to be one of the guys at practice in the morning.

    He was going to defend Portis on the 3 point line, Giannis did a hesitation move like he was going to pass back and Sengun bit, bad decision but it’s not brain dead
