Beefin’

Chandler Parsons was absolutely destroyed early Saturday morning by Blazers’ guard C.J. McCollum on twitter. It is key Chandler does not come out and try to prove a point.

Side Note: Parsons will not play tonight due to not being cleared for both games of a back-to-back.

That has to hurt, especially coming from one of the league’s best young guards. Despite the urge Chandler most likely feels to go out and prove why he was awarded a max-contract, he cannot afford to do that.

Chandler Parsons was injured, but his minutes are slowly being extended. He is a lights out shooter, and his full-health is the important thing here. Playing with reckless abandon in the next few games in hopes to prove someone wrong could be disastrous for this team’s (and his own) future.

Parsons will be a big part of whatever this Memphis Grizzlies team accomplishes, and we can under no circumstances lose him for another extended amount of time.  #TrustTheProcess .
