Grizzlies with a healthy Ja would’ve made the NBA Finals.
No doubt.

Desmond Bane is the guy Grizzlies fans have dreamed of for a decade. He’s the perfect guy next to Ja.
Ja Morant and Desmond Bane made franchise history last night. They are the first pair of Grizzlies teammates to each average 30 points over a two-game span in franchise history.

No, the Memphis Grizzlies didn’t overpay Desmond Bane. Have y’all seen the contracts given to Jordan Poole and Tyler Herro?
Bane is wayyyyy better than both of them.

Let me be extremely clear.
If Memphis can trade for Kevin Durant without including Jaren Jackson Jr. or Desmond Bane, the Grizzlies must do it.
MUST. No debate.

11 days ago, I called Ja's season a failure for reasons we're well aware of.
2 days ago, Ja Morant failed us one more time.
But there are two things I am still certain of, regardless of suspension: 1. Ja shouldn't be traded; 2. Ja will rise again.

1. Memphis almost drafted LeBron James.
2. Memphis drafted Hasheem Thabeet over Stephen Curry, James Harden, and DeMar DeRozan.
3. Jerry West stopped Kobe Bryant from being a Memphis Grizzly.
Smh😔
"I met [Kobe Bryant and Rob Pelinka] in a hotel room in Orange County... Kobe said he wanted to come to Memphis and play basketball."
Jerry West said Mamba wanted to play for the Grizzlies after becoming a free agent in 2004😯

Colorado will probably go 8-4 and finish with a winning record for the first time since 2016.
While national media will take a big crap on Colorado after this loss and likely loss to USC, the job Coach Sanders has done to bring national relevance to Colorado should be applauded

The Grizzlies have had a slow start, and ticket prices are as cheap as $4 😮
A CENTER court, LOWER level ticket is only $175 to their next game vs. the Heat.

On Dec. 2, the Memphis Grizzlies were 30th in defensive efficiency, last in the NBA. Last.
Right now, Memphis is 8th.

This isn’t just an NBA media thing either. National media is quick to criticize, devalue, straight up shit talk the city of Memphis highlighting anything negative.
But when good things are going on?
Crickets.
Why? It doesn’t fit the national narrative about Memphis, TN.
The Grizzlies at one point were one of the hottest teams in the NBA with one of the most exciting players in the game. But the media chose to avoid the positivity. Part of it is the Grizz fault but at the same time, they never got pub like this when they were winning.

Steve Kerr gets the blame for USA’s disaster. The lineups were questionable at best. Game plans felt non existent. Offense was too much hero ball and not actual sets.

Last season taught the Memphis FO a lesson. Don’t triple down on youth. Teams need vets to grow and reach their full potential.

Garbage. Absolute trash reporting on a story that’s existed for months. Incredibly disappointing to publicly state something so damaging without verifying its truth.
I deleted a previous tweet that incorrectly stated Morant *pointed* a gun at the 17-year-old boy. The actual alleged version of events is in the story: the boy told detectives Morant had a gun visible in his waistband and placed his hand on the weapon.

National media can keep painting Ja Morant in a negative light without any positive takeaways.
But I won’t do that.

If DeAndre Williams has eligibility left and decides to come back to Memphis, we should welcome him.

I’m getting tired of Steve Kerr… all respect to his story, the player he was, and coach he is.
But dude’s corny now.
Steve Kerr sounds off after Nikola Jokic’s 18 free throws: “I have a problem with the way we are legislating defense out of the game.We're just enabling players to BS their way to the foul line. If I were a fan, I wouldn't have wanted to watch the second half. It was disgusting."

Memphis, having to choose between starting Marcus Smart - 2022 DPOY, Vince Williams Jr. - freakin 2-way menace, and GG Jackson - would’ve been a top pick in the 2024 NBA draft, but Memphis got him in the 2ND ROUND in 2023 - is a fantastic problem to have.
