The whole mess is that Ja wants to be the one clown that wants every one to laugh at his stupid things .he doesn't make his fellow players better he barely guard .he just focus in His showmanship that's all .last year the team won many games with out him .
Honestly donāt see JJJ fixing the foul issue. He has always been a foul prone hacker his entire career even pre NBA. Check the scouting/draft profiles, thatās not something that can be fixed (or it would have been already)
my issue with JJJ fouls is that his fouls are just dumb. Its like the defensive IQ goes straight out the window because he is trying to send every shot to the crowd and then he complains about the call as if the foul wasn't blatant.
Nba on Christmas has been boring since 2012-2013ish.
Jaren Jackson Jr and Brooks are too prone to being in foul trouble every game tbh.
Warriors in Memphis and Boston's head
great to see davis reid back at the halfway house
Until Ja plays more D, he's probably just the second coming of Westbrook and the Griz will be good but unlikely to run a championship.
people are talking about more about memphis thn gsw lol
Their issue is they arent humble š¤·āāļø
I donāt get it like thatās just how the grizzleās are LET THEM TALK BRO WHO CARESSSS
Honestly I think the grizzlies problem is themselves. Once they get this silly notion out of their that heads they have to win a chip in the next two years holds them back tremendously imo. They are still so young and immature and once they shake that mentality then in the nxt two to three years they will be ready.
My only concern with Memphis is Ja: He will injure himself cause he recklessly jumps onto people all the time and then complaints when hurt, when it's his fault completely. Meanwhile, he is delusional AF hurting his game and the team. So "the best team in the West" has to worry about its biggest asset because it's its biggest liability at the same time!š
im fine in the west š¤
They have a little more growing up to do and I think the #1 thing that nobody ever mentions is coaching. Taylor Jenkins is just not the guy that can get them to the next level. Nothing urgent and not sure what his contract status is but Iād start looking at other coaching options this summer
Put some RESPECT On Golden State WARRIORS
When they start ban and have dillion in they have a humble aggressive okay style to enable team ball play ja just for some reason and it's not bad has to score at the rim if not a layup a floater most of the time it's in traffic does not pick spots and goes left majority of the team it's hard to stop as we see but can be handled but if he starts picking shots and using the actual offense if will open up the floor most plays are them passing the ball at the top of the key for the most part big man barley touch the ball I'm not a expert just know some ball from playing and watching folks like Kobe
The Grizz could use IME UDOKA if thatās how U spell it. No disrespect. They need a better coach
like klay said they talk about dynasty but havent shown nothing close to it yet. they beat the wolves and think its their time now. need to play smarter and share the ball more. why is it that steven adams is the next best passer on that team besides tyus jones…they dnt move the ball they try to play very athletic when we know that never wins a trophy. they are just a good regular season team right now.
Memphis talks a lot for a team that hasnāt done anything lmao
Theyāre two of the dumbest players in the nbaā¦ā¦ death taxes and JJJ/Brooks foul trouble
Memphis needs to make some moves. Ja doesnāt have enough support, and I think some veteran presence on their young squad would help
Memphis has no experience. They donāt know how to deal with adversity. They donāt know how to play when they get taken out of their game. Thatās why I donāt think they can possibly win this year. Not a chance. Maybe next year. But not yet. Gotta make a conference finals at least first.
With all the trade/underpay rumours swirling around Draymond does JJ think he could help take MEM to next level? What about Dray joing KD? These are just two of the many reasons GSW should keep him. The main reason many ppl are overlooking is Draymond's leadership skills have shaped this team in ways they wont even realize until they are deep in the post szn. Draymond is a ferocious tactical floor general.
If Jackson played to his best, Grizzily probably is the best in nbaā¦ā¦. What does that mean? So, when they lose, they didnāt played their best;if they won, they did? Is that an EXPERT opinion?
Grizzlies are a great team, I just don't think Ja is as good as many people seem to think he is.
The Grizzles need a vet or two -OGs. The would help with the maturity and basketball IQ playoffs/finals. Picking up a player like Miles Bridges would give them another good shooter, rebounder, and dunker. JJJ coming back from injury/surgery probably will not be himself this season. JJJ need to be working in the interior when on offence. The grizzles need to run more plays into S Adam's early in the game. Adam is to night not to maximize his inside presences. I dont understand, how most team dont cut Ja left side off. Yes he is right handed. But, most of his points come from the left side. Haynes should be starting or 6 man coming off the bench. His rebounding and float game is nice.
With the grizzles height and length. Playing zone would be less tiring. If Bane average does not increase after the Allstar game. Tyrus should be playing point guard. Also, the grizzles offense tempo has slowed down.
The NFL might have better ratings on Christmas but quality wise the NBA on Christmas Day is a much better product.
It's a valid point, Tommy.
They Need A Vet Who Would Smack The Sht Out Of These Arrogant Fools
Grizzlies are so overhyped i have no faith in them to do anything significant in the playoffs
Can we please talk about the terrible calls from ref. Jjj couldnāt play because of foul trouble
They let themselves be bigger than the moment. That's about it. They just need a few more humbling experiences, and then they'll be ready.
I always enjoy listening to JJ Redick and Jalen Rose's analysis more than other analysts. No hyperbole. No trying to be outrageous. Just good solid analysis.
Grizzlies need to show up first before yapping:
"Itās a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth." – Glass Onion
The Grizzlies are my favorite team and their biggest issue right now is maturity. They have the talent and the moxie but they lack the maturity of a championship team. They don't value possessions like the ZBo and Mark lead teams. They miss a guy like Jae Crowder in the locker room right now.
Taylor Jenkins often made questionable decision, bench players that are on a hot streak. He often do that when we were winning by a wide margin but he also did that in a close game like last night which is annoying, need a better coach that made smart and quick logical spontaneous decision especially in close games.
yoooooooooooooooooooooooo
La Clippers going to humble tf out of Ja šÆ
It is not respectable to be a blowhard without any ability to make good on the bragging.
ja will be another good player with no rings
Dillon Brooks reminds me of Pat bev a few years ago. Where a lot of people say āheās a dog on defenseā and then not give him the level of criticism that is appropriate for a player who went 5-20 shooting in a game. And then only on another will people realize hes just not good.
JJJ is one of the best defensive players in the league and he'll learn to foul less. The grizzlies front office knows thaf David Roddy is coming down the pipe and then once they trade dillon theyll be able to admit he lost them the warriors playoff series
The mercurial yet petulant Mr Morant will leave Memphis within days after the end of the 23-24 NBA season.
Bank on it.
Heās Harden, KD, & Westbrook all rolled into one big-fish-in-a-small-market superstar.
