The JOKE is on Memphis as Grizzlies lose to Jokic and the Nuggets
Nikola Jokic is perhaps the best basketball player in the world, and the Denver Nuggets are a good NBA team. The Memphis Grizzlies don’t have a player of Jokic’s caliber, and are not a good team at the moment. And yet…Memphis held tough against an NBA Finals contender despite a tough loss. Host Joe Mullinax breaks it all down on this episode of Locked on Grizzlies.

Are there any updates on Edey? How is he doing?
We put up a good fight. That jokic assist at the end had my jaw dropped and hands on my head. It made me realize there’s levels to this playmaking thing. Cuz we beg JJJ to just simply pass out of double teams to an open man and Jokic out here doing 360 no look assists out of them😭
Jaren is killing me!! Never been a fan of Santi but DANG, if a 6/7 man can score 20+, be productive while helping the offense move why can't an AllStar/DPY max player. Not to mention dumb fouls 😡.
Well done Joe, I was expecting you to tell us how bad the Denver Nuggets must be make Jock Landale look so good. Just like the Kings did. You surprised us and said something nice. My faith in this channel having credibility is being restored. However the Grizzlies will soon trade him as there are many contenders who would benefit from his style of play as a backup, not a starter.
I’d put my money on Denver over okc. They shouldn’t have beaten them last year and Denver got much better. Our max guys aren’t earning the money but our younger ones look ready to take off.
I was pissed Jaren shot so many threes but then he started going to the damn cup. From 7/16 from the field but 1/8 from 3, clear as day where the adjustment is needed offensively. He didn’t do to bad foul wise and some of those calls were bs in my opinion
Is this locked on Nuggets, wasn't sure
When you double Joker he will make a productive pass. Double Jaren and he looks like a quarterback avoiding a sack by throwing it out of bounds
I’ve defended JJJ for years. I can’t even lie, his impact on the court this season has been extremely underwhelming & his plus minus this game is a mark of that. I don’t care how good the Nuggets are, what Jock Landale did for the grizzlies in the 4th is what I expect from our ‘star’.
Denver has stars being stars and we don't! Simple as that!
Ced's numbers have fallen off a cliff since being inserted into the starting lineup. Why? I think Wells is icing him out and Vince is gobbling up the rebounds. Should he go back to the bench?
Joe and DaMichael keep calling Ja/Jaren best players of the team, they are highest paid , senior most and that doesn’t make them stars or best players ; grizzlies will never win or be a contender as they have no top 25-30 player in the league . Jaren is not a good player .. period
If some other more talented players on the team get as many shots as those two, they will surely give more efficient output over time. Team needs to reset at trade deadline and at least, get Jaren out of here
The group of guys who played & won against both the Mavs & the Kings. They bonded, & that group has developed its own identity/ethos, one that buys into Tuomas Iisalo's system. It's not clear that Jaren & Ja will buy in our that they even fit in this culture, one more aligned with the GNG ethos. Jaren seemed the odd man out. Also, it is the case that Jaren is not being positioned for success. Yes, it's inexcusable he's not making shots, not being aggressive, & settling for 3s. But, he had 4 assists, he is playmaking more (he passed out of double teams to Jock, had a pass to Edey, etc.), &, contrary to popular opinion, he is Top 10 in the NBA right now as a Roll Man, a role he never really played & he's already Top 10 in this role. The guy is playing pretty atrociously, but I do think he's trying to adjust to Iisalo's style of play, one that doesn't best utilize his skillset. But, some can say this team will be better off without Ja & Jaren now while they've been winning against some of the worst performing NBA TEAMS. They were likely going to lose last night anyway once the Jokic Murray 2-man game got going, Edey or not. And, the Jokic era Nuggets rarely lose b2b games. Grizzlies probably weren't going to win anyway, but it's easy to blame Jaren (returning from injury, wearing ankle braces for the first time) because he was the one player variable that was different from the last 2 games.
Jaren was just abysmal this game i feel so bad for him got something going offensively but a minus 27 in a 10 pt loss that was closer before the last minute is unnacceptable from a former dpoy why is our defense better being anchored by jock landale bro
I am going to disagree with Joe on Coward at least for this game. We didn’t make as many open shots as we should have, period. Coward didn’t get those opportunities this game and the players that did should have taken those shots and made those shots.
I would love to see the show go away from the same game night format. Releasing the show in the morning gives the opportunity to listen to the players and coaches postgame which if heard would make the episodes better. Example in this episode we are speculating about Jaren’s health when postgame Jaren said his ankle was fine and offered to show his ankle to the media 😂.
GG needs to get minutes every game.. not that GG will win games and not have mistakes but Wells and multiple other players are having mistakes nightly. Seeing what we got absolutely needs to include GG too and we can’t see that with him getting 0 minutes.
