Tweets of the Week: Grizzlies Brawl with Suns, Parsons Fires Back
By Alex Smith
Thanks for tuning into the 3rd edition of our “Tweets of the Week”. Some exciting things happened with the Grizzlies this week, and it had Twitter popping.
Over the course of the past week, the Grizzlies got some much-needed wins and made some plays that had the entire league talking. Let’s jump right in.
.@mconley11 has recorded his 10th career 30-point game. Five have come this season.

On Monday against the Nets, Mike Conley recorded his 10th 30-point game of his career, five of coming in this season. This goes to show how well Captain Clutch is playing this year, and how he’s still underrated.
The @memgrizz are 9-1 this season when Toney Douglas plays.

This one really caught my eye. Although many people weren’t fans of waiving Troy Williams, the stats don’t lie.
Vinsantiy Strikes Back

How in the world can a 40-year old man still get up like this? Vince Carter drank a bottle of water from the fountain of youth during the timeout before this.
But wait, there’s more.

“DJ Khaled…Another one.” VC hits a nice circus shot here. Even though this shot didn’t count, it was still pretty sick. Vince Carter forever.
Chandler Parsons: Twitter G.O.A.T.
Dear basketball,

Please go in the hoop babe.
Best,
Chandler
Many say that NBA players are married to the game of basketball. It’s clear that Chandler Parsons has been a little rusty on the court, so here he writes a short letter to wife. It seems as if the two have been in a bit of an argument lately, but hopefully they can work things out fast.
It's almost as bad as your wardrobe 🙄 https://t.co/BbsAAYsBJ7

When USA Network star Todd Christly took a shot at Chandler Parsons because his jumper was a tad off, Chandler didn’t hesitate to fire back.
Don’t mess with CP25 on Twitter.
Fight!
hey @suns i want to let you know that the Grizzlies are the wrong team to try and fight

This is a public service announcement from the city of Memphis. The Memphis Grizzlies aren’t the team you want to try and square up with. If you try to go toe-to-toe with them, there will be consequences.

Can this please happen? While he won’t be in the All-Star game again this season, a man can only dream.
