But just based on the quotes, seemed like Jaron Jackson Jr. was definitely one. But John Moran certainly was not. Seemed like he got out of bed. He said he was in bed. Saw the quote. Huh. Surprised me. That's pretty much what the extent of his quote. Not, hey, I really love that guy.

Let me say this, though. Whoever came up with the offense, I believe it was one of the coaches he was fired with just now. He came up with it as a model after a Division III school. Listen, man, if you're telling me if I'm an NBA front office decision maker and you are telling me you're going to devise an offense based on something that you saw with Division III something or other,

no thank you man i i don't want any of that not only do i not think it's going to work but you're going to tell your players that and they're going to be like why why do we need some division three gimmicky offense and just to answer your last question there in terms of like what does it mean like if they get the best out of their team with this new assistant code or with this new coach what's that going to mean is that going to mean title contention not necessarily but if they make a western conference finals

If they go to a game seven in a second round, as opposed to flaming out in the first round, which a lot of people assume they might have done under Taylor Jenkins, that's enough confirmation for them that they made the right move. I'm not saying that that's what's going to happen, but this isn't one of those championship or bust type of scenarios.

It's let's just see in these playoffs, because we know what it looked like under Taylor. Let's see what it looks like with this guy.

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.
