In this video we discuss the awful start to the season the Memphis Grizzlies have had without Ja Morant, what has contributed to it, and whether or not they can turn things around…

Its been 3 games 1 of the games they played denver of course they lost that 1 …
How can you forget Steven Adams and our rebounding problem without him???
Jake LaRavia is missing minutes….
Without their franchise superstar Ja, they sure are not as good and as exciting as they were with him.
Free 1️⃣2️⃣ we b backk
Good for a team that threw Brooks under the bus it’s deserved
Ja can always be the best player on a "first round exit" team.
No Adams, Clarke, Morant suspended – it's going to get very ugly in Memphis.
Jenkins could very easily be out of a job by Christmas.. and they can't tear the team down with so many long term deals – so they're in a very bad spot, similar to the San Diego Padres of MLB.. preferably, they should've torn the team down after the Morant suspension, especially considering they can't win without him – instead of doubling down and putting the team into the 2nd apron and hard-capping them next season and really kneecapping any flexibility.
Trade Ja and JJJ. Time to rebuild.
Jeez Portland is gonna have a better season than them.
Haha, I love how you twist yourself in circles to prop up Ja…so the team doesn’t win more when he plays? Did you ever consider that maybe he’s overrated and doesn’t affect winning? He’s not a super high efficiency scorer, he plays zero defence and obviously doesn’t create shots for others above the average replacement player…why not just admit US media are desperate to have relevant players and hype up guys like Ja and Zion long before they earn anything?
They under valued and under appreciated Tyus Jones. He was manning the offense when Morant was injured
People under estimating how important Tyus Jones was as a backup point guard. They basically in the offseason said they believe they will miss Dillon Brooks defense more than Tyus Jones and Ja Morants playmaking. Plus losing Steven Adam’s is a big lose too. They should be on the call with a team like Atlanta to try to get Clint Capela. They need the rebounding since JJJ is soft on that end.
heres whats gonna happen 8-17 without ja, with ja back they go on 45-12 which would make em have a record of 53-29. Just trust…
Memphis getting punished is unfortunate
I don't expect the grizzlies to make the playoffs this season even before the season started because of Ja's suspension. Now that Adam's is out too this team isn't going to go far
The Memphis Grizzlies are good enough to reach the playoffs. That's a given, but they still have a lot of issues they must resolve. One, they are still a very young team, and it shows. Furthermore, Ja Morant is in a series of Legal troubles that the media and many people are trying to pretend aren't real and are sweeping under the rug. There is also a glaring fact that hardly any veterans are on the team, showing that the team is acting very immature. Dillian Brooks's antics and attitude only brought negative effects to the team. They need to fix their culture and start getting veterans so the team can start maturing because they are acting like they are the best in the world when they haven't proven or won anything. They need to taste that humble pie, or they are going to face serious problems that are only going to sabotage their careers and futures.
No mention of Steven Addams an no matter what u still have to shit on Dillon Brookes even when u give him a compliment. The lebron conspiracy continues.
Honestly they’re probably tanking to get the number one draft next season so they can permanently get rid of Ja
Honestly, just watching this team fall apart is icing on the cake. Ja should've been banned from the NBA and DB made an organization so sick of him they publicly came out and said under no circumstances would he be back. The team is just cracking and falling apart at the seems. The players don't take accountability for themselves and there's no leadership on this team and there's definitely no veteran presence besides Steven Adams and even then the dude isn't doing what he supposed to as a veteran of not only that team but in the NBA.
