    The final play was actually ran for Amen, he was cut off by Clark and chose to pass out. Fred had the ball with 5 seconds left, no play, no movement.

    Coaches didn't do a good job there, it's got little to do with Fred.

    It's almost like the Grizzlies saw Tari and Tate standing at the opposite 3 point line and decided that they didn't really need to worry about them.

    The final play wasn't drawn up for a Amen in the sense of him taking the final shot. The final play was a designed DHO play where Amen is the handoff guy. Same play as against the Celtics. Both times he decided to go to the rim himself cuz he thought the defender was shifted towards the potential handoff. He made the right decision against the Celtics but made the wrong decision against the grizzlies.

    Udoka would be a dumbass to design the final possession around a Amen ISO. That would be incredibly stupid.

    He could have swung the ball, there was alot of time when fred got the ball... not only that he had the last 3 possession of the game..

    No, he still goes too much on his own.

    Hit some quick threes, the only way to do it.

    Reed needs to be more aggressive. Shoot it. No time to waste.

    I agree with you, he's thinking too much. Same with Amen tonight

    y’all need to stop falling for Jalen Green

    he would have to play consistently well for almost an entire season for me to ever trust him and get over my PTSD

    Credit where it's due, Jalen had at least 2 really impressive stops on defense down the stretch tonight. Everything else was pretty bad though.

    If Green doesn't shoot that three with 21 seconds left on the shot clock, then FVv would have done so himself.[had he been there]
    This is a culture thing. The 3 point culture. They have it engraved by their shooting coaches that the team needs to launch 40 three pointers a game that they don't think. They just shoot away.

    Dude is shooting 35% from 3 with 56% TS along with good defense.

    When people here say "consistent" they must mean "every game" otherwise he is inconsistent lol.

    Jalen Green was shooting 40% from the field and 32% from deep the 1st 25 games of the season with 53% TS…that is trash

    Jalen’s last 10 games he is again at 40% from the field and 32% from 3 on 51% TS…again, trash

    he will be trash, then morph into Kobe, then back to trash with his Kobe stretches making his averages not completely abysmal

    I’ll trust him when he can manage a baseline of just being “good” instead of oscillating between extremes of being trash and elite

    Having oscillation between Elite and bad is better than consistently good it indicates a high ceiling and Jalen is only 22 whereas if he was just consistently good that would be who he is. Prime starts at 25.

    Should have drafted Evan Mobley. Mobley and Sengun would be championship worthy

    IDK about the Sengun part in terms of fit... I think hindsight might be Mobley and Tre Murphy/Jalen Johnson
