This Memphis team is a circus. Entertaining and talented. Larry Brown is basically the HC.. screaming and hollering and directing stuff on the sidelines. Emoni Bates has a lot of improving to do. – 11:45 PM

The game was played at Virginia Tech’s pace and Memphis still won. That’s a good sign, and a good win, moving forward. – 11:43 PM

FVV-“We’re a young team & sometimes it’s hard to stress the urgency & what it takes to win. You can’t go out there & go through the motions or you’re gonna have a team put 71 on you in the 1st half. Luckily we were able to turn it around but it’s not really the way we wanna live” – 11:11 PM

These types of blocks are where the challenge system could use some work. Good challenge by Doc there, they probably wiped three points off the board.
But the Sixers were gonna get that ball back and they have to do a jump ball now. Same thing that killed them against Toronto. – 11:02 PM

Doc Rivers wins the challenge, which erases that foul on Maxey. But it doesn’t make sense to be that the rule is a jump ball when the Sixers had possession. Same thing happened on that Drummond block against Toronto a couple weeks back. – 11:02 PM

Desmond Bane said Toronto turned their pressure up in the 2nd half — clogged the paint, made shots hard, forced turnovers to get out in transition. It gets them in tough situations where the offense stagnated — as Jenkins alluded to – 11:00 PM

VanVleet’s advice to Scottie Barnes after the rook’s recent mini-slump: “Just bring it every night. He should chase greatness and he shouldn’t fall into the lulls of what it means to be a rookie. With his size and his skill set, if he just plays hard every night he’ll be OK.” – 10:59 PM

Dillon Brooks talked about the differences in the 2nd half. The Raptors got going offensively and turned it up, made adjustments with their coverages. Said the Grizzlies needed to diversify offense outside of ball screens to find more looks for Ja in the middle of the floor – 10:47 PM

With a win in Indy Friday, the Raptors can finish their season-long 13-day 6-game road trip with a .500 record. Not a bad result considering the injuries and defensive issues they’ve had. And not a bad position to be in, heading home for 7 straight games (and 10 of 11, 17 of 21). – 10:31 PM

Probably don’t wanna make a habit of waiting until the 2nd half to defend, but that’s a really good win for the Raps. Scottie’s 2nd quarter (10 of his 17 pts), Achiuwa’s 3rd Q (17 pts), Trent’s 4th (17 of his 26), great mins from Flynn, Yuta’s promising return, FVV closing it out – 10:23 PM

On the season, the Raptors are giving up 42.3 points in the paint PER GAME (6th-fewest). The Grizz had 42 IN THE FIRST HALF. Another brutal defensive half. Guys are getting beat off the dribble, losing cutters, no resistance at the rim. Memphis has 71 pts on 61% FG! Raps down 12. – 9:12 PM
