Well, and the other thing is, is like the the idea. You're right. The idea of that offense was they weren't running as many pick and rolls, even though like somebody like Zach Eady drafted number nine. He says out loud, hey, I love pick and roll offense and they do less of it. Right.

And, you know, the idea is that they draft him so they can punish small ball teams instead of just take them out and do the traditional thing. It doesn't seem like they were aligned on a lot of things. And so I wonder if it was something of, you know, they were just waiting for this opportunity, right? Because they've been, you know, they've been up and down all season long.

They've been dancing around the two seat for a while. Maybe it's now they're just like, all right, we've seen enough. It was never going to work. You're not doing what we asked you to do anyway. Let's let's use this assistant coach. He might put a couple new wrinkles in the offense. And so people won't complain as much. But yeah, you weren't doing what we asked anyway.

I don't think this puts him in the coach killer category because, again, you've had six years with Taylor. I think if anything was going to sort of force him out of Memphis, it was last year and it was everything around that. And so I don't know if this in itself is that telling. I will say that In the games that he missed, they were basically hovering above 500.

And so I don't think that is very encouraging if you're the Grizzlies and say, hey, we can move on from Ja whenever we want. I still think they consider him and Triple J as franchise cornerstones.

Yeah, let's get this out of the way real quick, because somebody on the reels today I saw called it a squirmish. And I said to myself, oh, wait a second. It's always called a skirmish, but is it spelled squirmish, S-Q-U-I? And so I did all the looking up and it was like, no, people just sometimes people do spell it squirmish. Skirmish, but pronounce it skirmish.

And apparently that's allowed because it's like a nonce word or something. I don't know, but just know it's pronounced skirmish no matter how you spell it.

Ah, loser, yes. It's just a description.

They already were this team. And I'll tell you, it's just because of Isaiah Stewart, in my opinion, beef stew, as they call him. Because if you remember back when they played the Warriors recently, he actually got Steph Curry to do like a double take like and stare down.
