The fans just weren’t having it that night. They were booing from the first quarter to the end of the game. Their $94M man still wasn’t doing anything. Their team was in the middle of their worst slump of the season and looked like a lottery-bound team. Also, a fan was screaming for the Grizzlies to “bring back Lionel.”
It was that bad.
This loss was one of the lowest moments of the season as they lost their fifth game in a row. In addition, it was Chandler Parsons’ last game before it was announced that he had a torn meniscus – a signal for a loss of hope that their big-time free agent wouldn’t do anything this year.
