- Keep getting Des shots, unlike yesterday
- Donβt concede 52 points in the 3rd

From Jaylenβs dad
Hoping to hear good news on Jaylen Wells soon. Would be a horrible end to a great season for the kid but just hope heβs ok.
Zach Edey has 60 rebounds and counting over his last 4 games.
Vince back and has more minutes than Luke so far. VW getting back to last seasonβs form has been something this team
has needed all season long but crucial now if this team is going to be competitive in the playoffs.
Pulled out of the tail spin nicely. Playing with some desperation, finally. God this team could do with a big aggressive rebounder.
The Grizzlies are playing with zero confidence and a complete lack of cohesion. Because of this their opponents are playing with great confidence and cohesion.
Thereβs no quick fix. This team is in a tail spin.
Perplexing.
Way too many 3s. Run some plays. Get something going towards the hoop. More Jaren iso.
Perhaps the Grizzlies can hire a hypnotist to make Ja think he is playing the Celtics every game
Sliding doors: what are the key rumoured roster moves from recent seasons that didnβt happen which,with hindsight, the team shouldβve thrown more assets at to execute?
Inversely: any actual roster moves which have resulted in this team being less competitive than if they hadnβt of happened at all?
Wouldβve liked to see Vince and Edey used down the stretch in this one. Some good signs but the defence remains a total shit show. Celtics next. Welp.
Lebron and Luka are going to dislocate a wrist here asking for a challenge on every single foul call.
Get it Des! π₯ π₯ π₯
Hated that Ja half. Youβd expect rust but made a lot of low IQ plays that killed any come back momentum.
Grizz back.
Keep feeding 14.
White hot shooting from the Lakers but itβs not just luck, the Grizzlies defence flat out sucks. As @chrisherrington.bsky.social discussed on the Daily Memphian Grizz pod this week - teams are shooting well vs Grizz cos theyβre comfortable and Grizz are allowing them to get into rhythm.
Tonight the part of Steph Curry will be played by Gabe Vincent
39 point from the Lakers in Iisaloβs first quarter as Grizzlies coach. Salvaging this season will require turning the defence around, which is scorched earth atm.
Not today then
Firing him now does seem wild but was likely to happen in offseason and obviously the team felt like it needed fresh eyes now for playoff push. I get it. Rough for a guy who had done a mostly stellar job however. Thanks for the good times, HC Jenkins!
I think Jenkins biggest plus as a coach was getting guys to believe in themselves and helping them accelerate their potential. This season he often seemed to be second guessing himself. Front office didnβt help his cause, I think thereβs been negativity on the team since adding nothing at deadline.
Itβs been a funny season- lots of promise early then mostly frustrating since January. If the big 3 play more like 50 games together as opposed to 30 Jenkins probably still has his job. That said I think his inconsistent rotations have been frustrating players and the chemistry had gone bad.
Friday night massacre on the Memphis coaching bench.
Congratulations Tony Allen on his well deserved jersey retirement.
TA was a huge part of my Grizzlies fandom, following the whole Grit and Grind era through thick and thin, through trick and treat. Man he was frustrating at times but such a unique, tenacious player. Thanks for the memories, T!
Grizzlies working on their first blow out for a while on TA jersey retirement night, you love to see it.

Grizzlies needed a game like this. Active + energetic team hoops at both ends. All revolves around Ja whoβs had a great stretch of games, but shout out the bench guys for providing a boost - Cam, Bagley, Lamar, Scotty - all terrific. Nice Huff game too, get him back in the rotation TJ!
