I believe in this team
Finally a good take given us news . I knew players had been calling out Jaren because he destroying the energy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ja is on a minutes restriction. This is Taylor Jenkins we’re talking about. Coach will probably sit Ja in the 3rd game because of “soreness” as he always does.
Definitely appreciate Jaren being well-rounded by going for a seat on the players association and representing our country BUT, brah needs to spend every summer working on his game. He needs to get stronger, and work on his mid range and 3 point shot
Also, yall gotta be doing these episodes for content becaise its laughable to hear yall talk day in and day in about the "guys who want to win" and hear yall be frustrated with this team when yall know full well that the front office screwed this team up, and that we have probably 5 or 6 g leaguers on our roster (Konchar, Roddy, Vince, Kenny, and Ziaire).
Da Michael your spot on about the cutting when Jaren gets double teamed. No one is moving their all standing around behind the 3pt line. The Coach wants them Spreding the floor instead of cutting? Thats a joke, your right no one is threatened by our shooters. Bc none of them can shoot an none of them can create on their own. Stop either Jaren or Bane an its a win, stop both of them an its a massacre. Other teams dont care if Zaire, Roddy or Santi score, they'll allow that all night. Teams know when players like Gilyard or Konchar drive their driving to pass it not to try an score. Bunch of guys out their running around for some cardio not out there to hoop. If they can't beat the Jazz without Markinnen, then they will never ever beat the Jazz.
And john konchar has been a terrible shooter the past 2 years. Probably because he knows he shouldnt be in the NBA. Its crazy that this guy is making around 6 million dollars a year to do this
Not a Damn thing
Jackson is ok offensively when he has good players around him but he really doesn’t have any good moves.
Jaylen nowell gota play way more
Time for you guys to report Jenkins To Ramp Up Ken Lofton Jr. to give Grizzlies Fans some hope!!!
Wouldn’t Ja’s first game back be the @OKC game two before the Pacers game? Not sure if the two loser bracket games were included in the suspension or not
Let Lofton start 5 games and the Grizzlies will be more competitive, points in the paint! Give Lofton a chance!!! Roddy, Zaire and Conchar are getting starter minutes with 0 results! You spell Lofton L O F T O N! Give him some reports so Jenkins will play him and we can continue to subscribe as Locked On Grizzly Fans! TYVM
Bro, you would listen back to yourself. Repeat these freaking things that you saying every episode that take up freaking half the episode every day you wanna listen to yourself again and say your name over and over again and this your titles in your sponsors that you’re required to say. We know it ain’t getting any more views so u prolly in union.
And on top of that bro, they already started a fucking in season tournament before we got our bass player back. They started a tournament one that the grizzlies would’ve been in a beautiful position in to win last year if it happened but no, they decide to have a tournament that’s decided by the time that ja still suspended by. You say they want to win now well no shit bro that’s what they’re trying to do against the best teams in the west the past two years in the playoffs but yet we want to fire the coach this year when we freaking have had the worst trades and injuries Yet .
You better fucking change bro because what the fuck else is going to change at this point who who else do we got? Who else do we got Bro Stevens Adam already humans are he’s been sitting on the bench year Brandon Clark who knows if he’s even gonna come back man, like who is the best players for the grizz. What player is pushing those around them to be their best ? Ja is the leader and no one else needs to practice being the leader maybe backup but nah clearly they ain’t the leaders. Ja will be rested and it would be smart for rest of key pieces to rest up for his return imo.
We need to just tank and get a top pick. Like people who think this season is salvageable are stuck in delusional optimism
Don’t play with me about Purdue players bro. Ivey prolly gets as many fans in Detroit seats as any player on that team. Pistons should have way more then 2 wins they been competing with almost every team with all kinds of terrible rotations. Guarantee casual nba fan can name more grizzlies then pistons. You can tell with pistons they are conpeting for their spots and coach got no clue there for playing for stats . The grizzlies rely on two players for all our points . Not 6-7 for 15 like pistons , wizards , jazz , Houston , Atlanta , Clevlend, bulls , nets ,all the teams in nba that have a big 3 or at least 3 players who average 15 plus . Desmond is having too much put on him and jaren Jackson has had a lot in him since he chose defense route over stretch big route bc he can’t shoot 3 with Steph curry . Shit ain’t easy but blocks it smarter route for anyone with his gifts. I think grizz hoped he would be more of a stretch big but saw spurts of greatness in lakers game 1 playoffs this year but team couldn’t finish the job. That’s okay tho because I see the growth . The way this team plays with him back on court will speak more then anything we can analyze about these dudes.
Jarren I know you are reading comments bro don’t listen to these noobs just look at your freaking team USA jersey and know potential you have when all your dudes who fought with ya coming back to fight together and shut up these dudes.
Bro, that’s simply not it it’s just that those are the dudes who are scoring easier ways without much help. we actually need to look to get them the ball less I think. It makes us too predictable.
If only JA morant would be more like Steven Adams we wouldnt have had to go through this bs
Roddy and LaVaria were such wasted picks along with Zaire. Can't miss that much in the draft. Kleiman got me worried about his drafting at times
