giannis PER according the ESPN is at 43 right now
Grizzlies rough start. Good one.
14:21 “Ja Morant and Jaren go beat a healthy Pistons squad.” ??? No Jaden Ivey, no Tobias Harris, no Marcus Sasser. Thats 2 starters and a rotation player
When the athletic tries to make you feel bad for booing Myles turner, just remember that he dropped less than Tyrese Haliburton in game 7. Think about that.
Incredible episode. The Grizzlies Offense portion calling out Talent vs Promise, inject that shit into my veins. Keith and Dave's onscreen beard rivalry and chemistry is off the charts in this one, need to get Zena a leftover beard from Spirit Halloween to really make the Grizzlies talk spooktacular.
Great episode. Always a pleasure to have Keith from Grits & Grinds on!
Top notch episode. Every time Keith Parish is on it’s a good listen.
Suns need to make that call to check on Ja’s availability.
Giannis's sixth career game winner (last five seconds), second buzzer beater.
Not sure if it’s the Grizzlies fan base or FO is kind of delusional. Doesn’t matter how much talent you stack if your franchise leader is a malcontent. Especially one that sulks and throws tantrums. Let’s just say Coward is that good. You think Ja is just going to fade into the background and let him cook? Or is he going to throw a hissy fit, sabotage, make it difficult? Plenty of teams with talent—they need leaders.
Those Pacers fans that boo'd Turner during the video are trash 😂.
When Klay Thompson had his return game against the Warriors last season, the entire arena cheered for him during his tribute video.
If you can't spell Edey's last name, how good of a source are you?
This is great!
