The talk before the draft was about his mobility and I think he lost weight to be more mobile, but Edey needa to hit thw weights. No use being big if you getting pushed around
To me, this new offense is completely ineffective against any team with a big with huge paint presence. Ive seen it against AD and now Zubac. Ja's efficiency goes down and JJJ gets in foul trouble. Edey is gonna have to be able to compete with these bigs but he has to be more efficient offensively. But i wont feel comfortable in a playoff series against teams like the lakers, clippers, twolves. And obviously teams with superstars we'll struggle against too like mavs and nuggets. I just dont feel comfortable even with home court against these west teams. But i hope Edey can improve by then, and the turnovers are stupid. 3 second calls and stepping out of bounds are unacceptable. But its only game 30 so we move
Reminds me of Laker game. Big dude to clog up the middle really screws up this O. Grizz need a plan B when the cutter thing does not work
Like most other players Ja is playing injured. We gotta get him in some Adidas atp lol
Ja needs to never pass Edey the ball again. He already gonna lead the league in turnovers.. Edey is the perfect mix of – I don’t want the ball and I don’t make myself open around the rim
Edey winning all these awards and getting praise stopped him from actually working on his basketball skills.. no reason 8ft guy hasn’t dunk in a single soul this season.. my mom could stop him from dunking smh why
Two things stood out in the seats. Zubec with a 20/20 game. The other thing was Kennard with 16 minutes and 1 rebound. Go Grizzlies!
Jay Huff, hard work beats talent that don’t work hard.. Edey days are numbered
Jay huff would’ve cooked up
Ja's been playing terrible last couple of games. He had 6 turnovers! The last 2 games he has been turning over the ball and given up crucial points. If you watch all his turnovers, they all turned into points for other team. Turnovers are killing this team. If Ja can average like max 4 turnovers a game, we good. Also whenever he doesn't get the ref's call, Ja just pouts and stands there. Go run back on defense! Stop show boating after a score or dunk. He celebrates too much. Also he says he doesn't dunk? Guess what, he still jumps way too much!!! Thats why he got injured. And stop going for those big time blocks. If he lands bad, its over. Ja let me help you out. There are 3 things you need to control. 1. Stop jumping for big blocks. 2. Make easy assist, no flashy assist. 3. Stop celecbrating or complaining to the refs after a missed call. That will help us win the close games.
I was so excited about Edey now I just can’t wait until Huff officially makes Edey Special Teams
Grizz are a 4 game skid away from being out of the playoffs.. January gonna be tough playing Dallas okc wolves and clippers again before the deadline
Edey needs to watch every single Giannis Antetokoumpo dunk and try to replicate it over Christmas break.. when he comes back from the shoulder injuries he will be a future HOF
Send Edey to the G League plz give that man Bronny treatment until further notice 😂
Joe, you make a good point abt how lucky Grizz fans are to have had both the Grit & Grind edition and now this edition led by Ja, JJJ & Des…leaders who take responsibility after losses and value Ws over padding their own stats. This is a homegrown team that plays for each other and the Memphis community. Grizz fans are blessed
Until they can beat the good teams in the West, which they haven't won a single game yet this season, their record does not impress me. Sloppy possessions, questionable rotation and coaching choices down the stretch seems like a common theme for this team every time they play a good West team. Smdh
These are the losses that drive me nuts. We are a better team than the Clippers and the Lakers. The Grizz need to stop throwing these games away.
You know what’s frustrating? You whining constantly about people being mad at you. Just do the damn podcast
Zach Edey Needs A polished Post game And At least 2 face up moves to get to the basket… his offensive games is wayyyy to predictable and he be slow to get into his moves which everybody know he going to the right hook… on the other end That boy a beast on the boards and defense especially when he gets more consecutive minutes
This stat stands out of our current 20-10 record, we are 8-7 in the West. So we have been feasting on the East, except for the Nets. Most teams behind us have played many more conference teams and have winning records. As we begin to play conference more conference games, we will see where we truly stand. January will be a very interesting month. I would love for us to win 60% or more of those games.
I said at the beginning of the season saying let's see where we are after 30 games. If you said 20 and ten and 2nd/ 3rd in the conference, I would have been happy! With that being said, I believe we are a good team in a good spot. Every loss seems like a learning experience that the team can use to get better. Could we get better with a trade or two? Certainly! But ultimately, our success and failure falls on the shoulders of our big three. When they are bad against teams,no role player can save us! Ja has to cut the crazy turnovers and all the complaining. His body language sometimes is awful. Jaren has been consistent but his efficiency has been slipping. Dez seems to be coming on and finding his groove. If these 3 can all get it together at the same time, we're talking championship! They basically missed a whole season playing together and it shows sometimes, especially against good/ physical teams. I believe they have the desire and the ability to get there but it may not be this season. I sure do hope it is but I've tapered my expectations a bit. They can do it, if the curve is quicker than that of champions past!
