The Long View: Grizzlies, Mavericks, and the 2020s wars ahead
Photo by Justin Ford/ Despite the tough loss, I can’t help but think of what lies ahead for these two squads and the potential future battles. Man, what a game. You can say this in whatever tone possible. There’s a sad what a game after a disappointing loss. Watching your team lose in such devastating fashion, while controlling most of the game, is so tough to take in. It’s part of the emotional downswing as a fan. And honestly, it’s tough for me to get too down on this game. After talking to Coach Jenkins and other players in postgame, the spirits were high,...

Report Card: Grizzlies night ends in heart break
Photo by Justin Ford/ Luka Doncic does not want Memphis to have nice things That buzzer beater shall be the Joker origin story for myself and others. Before that hectic ending that I will do my best not to rehash, the Memphis Grizzlies played really good basketball on national television - something that used to be a rare occurrence. They played a nice clean half of basketball in the first half with zero turnovers in the first quarter and only two for the duration of the first half. Grayson Allen played an impressive game that saw him score 23 points supported by a 6-11...

The Validation of Jonas Valanciunas
Photo by Todd Kirkland/ The veteran big man is having a monster season and a massive impact on this young Grizzlies team The shift to position-less basketball in the NBA is officially here to stay, and the Memphis Grizzlies were arguably the last team to buy into the trend, as they hung onto the Core Four as long as they feasibly could — which, in terms of contending for titles, might have been two seasons too late. When the inevitable was finally staring the Memphis front office in the face, they opted to trade the best player in franchise history. It was not the...

Striking Quality and Quantity beyond the Arc
Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via The Memphis Grizzlies have been hot from deep in April, while maintaining an appropriate amount of shot attempts. Let’s look at what quality and quantity of shots mean for this team and the NBA’s landscape. After the April 2nd win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Coach Taylor Jenkins said something captivating about the Memphis Grizzlies success from beyond the arc: It is great to make 19 three’s, but even better to take 39 three’s. It really caught my eye, because it strikes one of the most important elements in the modern NBA:...

Grizzlies are winning. Why are they better when Ja Morant has more assists, fewer points?
Ja Morant might be struggling with his shooting this season but he's still the catalyst for the Memphis Grizzlies being playoff contenders

Finally, the Grizzlies have shooters
Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via The Memphis Grizzlies shooters often get talked about against each other, but it should also create conversation on the quality of 3-point shooting on this roster. De’Anthony Melton, Desmond Bane, and Grayson Allen have been pitted against each other in recent articles, and dialogue on podcasts or Twitter — guilty. It’s reasonable to suggest. All 3 of them play the same position, and there’s arguably no sizable gap either, particularly between Bane and Allen. Whenever Justise Winslow and Jaren Jackson Jr. are back, one of...

Quick Recap: Grizzlies run with the Bulls, win 101-90
Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports A strong final frame finishes Chicago. The Memphis Grizzlies found themselves in yet another battle against yet another Eastern Conference squads on Monday night. This time it was the Chicago Bulls that the bears of Beale Street went toe to toe with - a Bulls team that looked quite different than they did the last time Memphis welcomed Chicago to town. Nikola Vucevic alongside Zach LaVine is a threat to make the playoffs in the east - on this night they didn’t threaten the Grizzlies enough to win. Some quick takeaways from a much...
