Hire rondo as hc. Self explanatory hire. And rondo is from Kentucky so he’s from that region. Ja would avg 25/10/4 under rondo.
Great wins, but I still hate any time the team loses to the Lakers or Warriors. I'm not sure who the new coach should be, but we need someone who can maximize the talent of our top 3 or 4 guys. I want them to have an efficient and consistent offense and an tough defense. I need a lot more defense out of this team. I need them to want to intimidate teams
Bane shows up.. against the pistons. No Ja, he had to. I’ll give it to him. Good performance. Now we need that while he’s playing with Ja, against a contender
Getting harder for Edey haters to hate. Pretty damn good rookie who can help THIS year.
Let's get to 50 wins. We can do it. Move back up the standings a little.
AND Pistons got Cunningham back, should have been a big morale boost for them
Unless Edey gets like 30 rebounds I won’t be impressed and I advise everyone else not to either. He’s freaking massive and IIsulo is playing him 30 mins with Clarke out hurt but the 6 dimes was impressive including that bounce pass dime to Bane. Let’s keep in mind Duren didn’t play, LUCKILY FOR HIM, and the Detroit back up bigs are severely undersized. He’ll have a tough week assuming everyone is healthy. Mark Williams had his career high against him in the last matchup, T’Wolves punked him in every matchup this year and got him off the floor. Jokic will obviously embarrass him and Lively & Gafford might dunk all over him. Then we have the playoffs where we will prob play either the Clippers, Wolves or Denver in the first round. So before everyone falls in love with a slow footed Edey let’s see how he fares for the next 2 weeks where we are about to play NOTHING but good teams with really good big man.
What we got from Bane is what they should get on most nights! Ja should be the floor general and let Bane do his thing. If we could get this from Bane n a consistent basis, we could really make some noise.
"He is not a plodder" is the best statement. The people who grumpily have been saying this since the Grizzlies drafted him are either just haters that are never going to see reality, or people too lazy to look at his college career. I've never seen a big man move as well for his size. Look at NBA combine, he beat out some guards in mobility drills. Look at his college play, where he scored 30 while being triple teamed, completely unguardable one on one (ask Donovan Clingan). AND he only started playing basketball as a Junior in High School, he's STILL learning. He's a DOG working, he has literally NO ego, he LOVES his team and teammates and is team first. So he'll do what you want him to do. You only want him to shoot 3 times (and go 3-3)? He'll do it without worrying about his points. He only shot 2 three pointers in his college career, not because he can't, but because his coach didn't want him to. Now, from the longer 3 point NBA line, he's shooting around 38% from 3. Granted, only 50 attempts not a great sample size, but the Grizzlies aren't asking him to do anything but keep the defense honest out there, and he is. The point is, if anyone's been a hater, thinking the Grizzlies screwed up their pick you really ought to look a little deeper. Even if you're a Volunteer fan who hated him in college. He's on your team now, and you simply cannot ask for a more hard working, skilled, and team first guy. He very well may be another special "draft day steal".
Now do that against good teams
Go Grizzlies
Ja sick?
Not buying it
Absolutely great segment today Joe! Killin it🔥
Very good game from Zach BUT Joe please discuss how Zach edey only does this vs undersized centers like Isaiah Stewart….
