Wolves need to make a move. They need a PG. this is not sustainable
Better floor spacing and effort. Simple
Proving what i have been saying since jaws 2nd year. He is a negative player. Terrible Awful defender … useless off the ball…stupid…mentally destructive …. kills team flow…and cohesion . The Grizz had success in the past in spite of jaw…and because their backup PG was amazing.
Appreciate that Jason also we have not had our backup pgs in Pippen or Jerome all season. On top of that Ja has only played 3 minutes with Edey.
Grizz getting their injured players back I think can make them pretty good. Starting line up of Ja, Coward, Wells, Jackson, and Edey with guys off the bench like Ty Jerome, Aldama, KCP, Cam Spencer, Brandon Clarke, Jock Landale, etc. Some good players will not get time even with the Grizz playing so deep in to the rotation as a norm.
He does nothing for them, this isnt a mystery
the real talk honestly is how this team might actually be a really good team fully healthy
Am I surprised that Jason didn't mention the massive difference between the teams they beat vs the teams they lost to while Ja Morant was out? Nope lol
Ja Morant not a player for this era of basketball. Maybe 10 years ago he would have been useful, but now his skills are outdated and the teams don't need them, it's a shame, but he will remain a clown to entertain the audience
The long and the short of it is that Julius Randle needs to turn into a catch-and-shoot 3 point shooter when he has a bad matchup (Houston, Memphis, and OKC have the worst matchups for him in the West). He's not a bad 3 point shooter.
The game just falls apart when Julius tries to bully when he can't bully. He fights the game in those matchups and singlehandedly loses the game. This is the biggest complaint that the Knicks had on him and is the reason that the Wolves struggled against Houston, Memphis, and OKC last year.
The Wolves lost this game when at some point a light went off in Julius in the second half that he needed to get more points and assists. He was clearly getting too aggressive and was passing too hard. He fought the game and the game won.
Grizzlies are underrated right now honestly
