Desmond Bane on Dillon Brooks’ quick scratch: He didn’t know what they’d look like, but he knew that they were going to fight regardless. He told his teammates to have fun, play their games, and just let the result show what it shows – 11:13 PM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Jaren Jackson Jr. called Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks warriors and guys that you rally around, and he also said they Facetimed those 2 after the game – 11:08 PM Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
108-95 Grizzlies. No Morant, No Dillon Brooks. LeBron/Davis combining for 75 minutes. Game-high 25 for Jaren. Good win for the Grizzlies. Bad loss for the Lakers. – 10:17 PM StatMuse @statmuse
The Lakers just lost to the Grizzlies without Ja Morant, Dillon Brooks and Brandon Clarke.
But they were still missing their best player Trevor Ariza. pic.twitter.com/a0xkvCvgJt – 10:17 PM Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Just a brutal loss for the Lakers, who looked good in a win over Boston on Tuesday. No Ja Morant, no Dillon Brooks and LA commits 22 turnovers in what will be a loss to the Grizz. – 10:14 PM Dave McMenamin @mcten
The Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks-less Grizzlies have opened up the 4th Q on a 9-2 spurt to go up by 14 on the Lakers with 8:17 remaining. – 9:55 PM Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa
No Ja Morant, no Dillon Brooks and the Lakers find themselves down 12 (92-80)…Grizzlies just playing with more energy – 9:53 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
All I can think about right now is Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant screaming at their TVs. – 8:32 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
With Dillon Brooks in protocol De’Anthony Melton replaces him as the pregame dancer in the Grizzlies huddle – 8:08 PM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies

Grizzlies Dillon Brooks rips officials after ejection against Mavericks nba.nbcsports.com/2021/12/09/gri… – 7:01 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Had Dillon Brooks been healthy, his current technical foul rate would be on pace to tie (Tigers assistant) Rasheed Wallace’s single-season record for technical fouls.
Surely, he will slow down. Right? Because they could cost him later. dailymemphian.com/section/sports… – 12:01 PM Mike Prada @MikePradaNBA
Luka Doncic seems to relish playing against the Dillon Brooks types who want to get into him. He waits for you to hit him and then pounces. Seemed like Desmond Bane’s approach to give Luka some room worked better. – 10:46 AM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Dillon Brooks has the highest technical foul per minute rate in the NBA among players averaging more than 6 minutes per game.

Dillon Brooks can start writing the check. It doesn’t seem to matter to him, he just wanted to get his point across. dailymemphian.com/section/sports… – 12:56 AM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Jaren Jackson Jr on the ejection of Dillon Brooks:
“Dillon is a warrior. He is goigng to play defense to best of his ability…It’s tough sometimes. That’s my dog… We are going to be here for him. Period. ..” – 11:12 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Does anyone have the video of Dillon Brooks getting ejected? – 11:05 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Dillon Brooks after the game:
“We’ve been playing physical basketball for about a week now. And all of a sudden new officials come in here and they call an inconsistent game.”
“They want to call the attack in the first half and then the second half they want to call nothing.” – 10:54 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
“This crew did not protect the players. They just wanted to get the game over with, and that’s bullshit. It was bullshit from the very beginning.” — Dillon Brooks – 10:52 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Dillon Brooks said the officials called an inconsistent game. Said he thought the officiating crew “made it about them.” – 10:50 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
How Taylor Jenkins described the Dillon Brooks ejection:
“Dillon got ejected.” – 10:49 PM Joe Vardon @joevardon
A ton of money was raised for charity tonight in Memphis — via SIX technical fouls and an ejection for Dillon Brooks, who had to be restrained and his mouth covered by assistant coaches as he voiced his displeasure to the assigning referees. theathletic.com/2523016/2021/0… – 10:43 PM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
A standing ovation for Dillon Brooks, as he gets ejected for yelling at all 3 refs – 10:29 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM

Tech on Dillon Brooks. Mavs up 95-86 with 3:50 left after that trey by Reggie. – 10:18 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Dillon Brooks gets a technical. Jaren Jackson voices his displeasure.
It’s coming apart for the Grizzlies late in this game. – 10:17 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Fifth foul on Dillon Brooks is a cheap one. And then Steven Adams gets a technical.
Bad timing for both of those. – 10:13 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Dillon Brooks is encouraging the crowd to boo the officials on the Brown free throws. That’s now 30 personal fouls in this game. – 9:44 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett

Dillon Brooks throwin the Mavs on skates and then screamin “THEY CANT F*** WITH ME!!!!” was somethin else haha pic.twitter.com/gEgO4svLI6 – 9:03 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM

He said Albuquerque, naturally. – 9:03 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM

Dillon Brooks maybe a little overhyped to be checking Luka. Two fouls in the first 2:27, both defending Luka. – 8:15 PM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Dillon Brooks now has 2 fouls… not ideal against a guy like Luka – 8:14 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Dillon Brooks is already putting in work with the officials. That’s a veteran right there. pic.twitter.com/pwAk7XBwsx – 7:59 PM
