Congrats to them.

Uh, but the Grizzlies, uh, I'll say this for them.

I almost feel like this is their comfort zone.

basically throwing out 10 to 11 guys, some of whom you've never heard of before, but all play with a certain Grizzlies quality.

Like there's still an identity to this team, despite what's going on with John Moran, despite the fact that they've kind of jettisoned a lot of their key pieces of their previous era.

Uh, they're just like guys that come off the bench.

I was like, oh yeah, that guy's probably going to play 10 minutes for the Grizzlies next year.

And maybe that's a backhanded compliment because they seem way too comfortable in March meaningless basketball.

On the other hand, they still have whatever course through this franchise dating back to Tony Allen.

And they've managed to like maintain that through now multiple regimes and eras.

And so credit to the Grizzlies.

You have a literal identity in a league that fetishizes that probably above a lot of things.

Shooting the cover off the ball.

Yep.

And playing center?

Question mark?

Yeah.

I remember right after the trade deadline when they trotted up that lineup because I went to the game when they were here in Portland.

I was like, oh, these guys are fucking around.

Like they have decided to just eject on this season and they are playing for this draft picked.
