Thanks for having me, guys. This works out great for you. It does. Selfishly, yes. You get some hot content. The wheel picked the Grizzlies, and then they make this stunning move to not fire Taylor Jenkins, to part ways. The press release says, parted ways. Yo. Oh, man. What? I'm stunned. Also, like... Obviously, this is less than, you know, they played the Thunder last night.

Like, you got to see the Thunder. I sat in the same room as him yesterday.

The Thunder dropped a 28-3 run in the fourth quarter on the Grizzlies. My joke is, here's my actual analysis as a Grizzlies expert. I think Robert para tuned in to five minutes of a Grizzlies basketball game. So saw Jaron Jackson jr. Sitting on the bench with five and a half minutes left and the Grizzlies didn't score. He's like, what's, what is this? What's what's going on? That guy's got to go.

Are there like some, are there were some really good college basketball jobs that just opened up with March madness and Taylor wants to go get one. I don't know.

I'm lost. I mean, it is stunning. Weeks ahead of the playoffs to fire your coach when they're tied for the fourth best record. in the West. Like they're going to the playoffs. This is a team that now has, they fired their coach three weeks ahead of the playoffs. And then they were the two seat at the trade deadline. And they used the first round pick to salary dump rotation players.

Like when's the last time a team did either one of those things that are in the same position. I mean, it is, it's really shocking. And I know the fans are, we're frustrated because the season has taken a little bit of a turn. Like, um, Alex read the, uh, like the cleaning the glass numbers, you know, 10th and defense. That is the first 30 games.

They were like fourth or fifth, the last 40 games, their 20th. So that's not a small slide. This is the entire hat last half of the season. I mean, maybe the players have tuned them out or something. I mean, I think also as, as we, like we recorded this on Friday and the news just broke, um,

And so maybe we'll find more answers, but I think you have to start with wondering, what's the relationship like with Ja Morant? And Taylor Jenkins and maybe Jared Jackson Jr. And Taylor Jenkins. And then you have to wonder maybe about like this much ballyhooed new offense that they installed. And of course, John Moran's numbers are down when he plays. His scoring numbers are down.

But they've been winning games just not so much as of late. They're 9-13 since the trade deadline. Why would Taylor Jenkins make those trades? You had to fire him. Would you have been? I don't know.

I guess I still would have been surprised. I felt like he was going to get a free pass. with the way the season went where they're like, oh, wow, they're going to slip down to the five seed and then be an underdog in the first round. They're going to lose in the first round again. And they'd be like, well, you know, Jaws hamstring was sore and things didn't work out.

Martin Smart didn't work out here. So, I mean, maybe surprise is not the right word. I would have thought maybe there's a good chance they do nothing and just run it back again. I do think if they had continued winning and were the second or the third seed, And then ended up losing to like the Warriors or the Clippers or the Timberwolves in the first round. Well, then you have your clear cut.

Fine. We can move on from this guy. We can fire him. So, yeah, I wouldn't have been shocked, but I still kind of thought he was going to be back next year.

It's really hard to say. I would guess injuries between those two things. I would just guess that it seemed like at times he was tentative or not as quick getting by guys and finishing at the rim. His actual stats as far as his efficiency at the rim is way lower this year.

His turnovers were up, and you would think maybe that is because of this new offense or people not being where he thought he was going to be. A lot of it, and I haven't tracked this, a lot of the Grizzlies turnovers are trying to throw the ball to Zach Eady. I don't like, I don't, I don't want to exaggerate.

Let's say 10% of all Grizzlies turnovers this year are trying to throw the ball to Zach Eady. Some of them are bad passes. Some of them, they throw them really high or like guys, Zach Eady can't actually drop that high, but like there wasn't an immediate chemistry between jaw and Zach. There's a lot of like jaw throwing it to where he thought like, uh,

I thought an NBA guy would have dunked that home, and you weren't ready for the pass. And so, I don't know. Like, I do think we've had a concern all year about, is Ja 100% healthy? Is that why he hasn't been the same Ja that we expected? But then, of course, when you overhaul an entire offense...

When you come into, this was Taylor Jenkins' sixth year, and in the offseason, he's like, all right, we're firing every assistant coach. We're bringing in basically all new assistant coaches, and we're installing a new offense. And everyone's like, cool. That shows the Grizzlies are going hard. It's also like, hey, that sounds really risky. Like, you have a really good team.

Like, you have a really good team with really good players. You have Ja Morant. Do we need to reinvent the wheel? And I don't know. I mean, it's hard, again, to draw conclusions from these things because the results were there for so long. If you want to get picky, which we do, we say, well, the results were there against bad teams. You were blowing the doors off of bad teams.

You had a lot of trouble winning on the road. You had a lot of trouble beating good teams on the road. I mean, but everybody does. But it's like, if you thought of yourselves as a contender, then why do you lose every road game against a Western Conference playoff team? And maybe they thought, look, we thought maybe we'd be better than this. And so Taylor Zing isn't our guy. Here's the opportunity.

Let's move on now and see what we can do. I'm still at a loss as we talk on Friday. Who's the interim coach? That's a great question. They have a homestand against the Lakers, Celtics, and Warriors. Those are the next three games. And we're talking about you could potentially fall into the play-in.

If you lose specifically the games against the Warriors and Lakers will have a lot of meaning because of playoff seating. And who's the coach going to be? And so, yeah, I'm flabbergasted.

I would guess, I mean, Tomas Asalo, the guy they hired in the off seasons who was like the hot new assistant from Europe who's installing this new offense that, you know, everyone, no pick and rolls, just kind of isolation basketball, spacing the court, you know, or, you know, very, very few pick and rolls. So I don't know. They should let me do it. I thought podcasters are getting hired.

That's interesting. So, I mean, for full disclosure, before the draft, I knew nothing about I mean, I knew he I knew he played for Purdue and I knew he was tall. So, yeah, I didn't know anything about. Yeah. And so preparing for the draft with the Grizzlies having the ninth pick, I'm reading everyone's blurbs about all the players. I'm starting to form my opinions about the players.

General rule for me. as someone who doesn't follow the draft or the prospects, if I have a high pick, I don't want to draft a center, just general rule. I think center is the easiest position to find in the NBA. I think there's always a guy out there who's just solid. And, you know, so I'm like, all right, we have a top 10 pick. Probably let's go upside here. And then they went for Zach Eadie.

So I'm like, okay, maybe this will work. They clearly they've drafted great for years. That's their big advantage. It seems like is they're really good at the draft. So let's see what Eadie can bring. I got real high on like the idea of him screening for jaw and the two man game. And like, he's been fine. But now I think when I look back,

make no trades to improve your roster, then when you get to the trade deadline to actually salary dump guys, and it's like, oh, all we're doing is getting another luxury tax slash creating possible avenues to extend and re-sign Jaren before he hits free agency, and that's been the entire focus as opposed to actually trying to improve for this year.

I actually fall back to my first thing about, I don't think you should draft a center in the top 10 in the NBA anymore, because it looks like they drafted him for need, because they knew they needed a center, and instead of using the MLE to go get a guy, just a random guy, your go-go batazes of the world, or just anyone...

Instead of wanting to have that salary on the books, it now looks like they're like, no, no, no. We already have to have a ninth pick salary on the books. We can't have any other salaries. So let's get our center right here. And that's just me connecting dots. This is my podcast conspiracy theory stuff where I'm like, it looks like we drafted for need. And I don't love that.

And then you just watch the NBA night tonight and in the loss to the Thunder and then in the win against the Jazz that they recently had, like Jay Huff, is more important in the Grizzlies rotation right now than Zach Eadie. Jay Huff is the guy they saw play at Summer League and signed him to do a two-way deal and then promoted him.

And to me, that just proves, like, you can find a center anywhere, so I don't love it. So, I mean, maybe Zach Eadie He might turn out to be a really good starting-level NBA center. He might have a career that parallels like a Jonas Valanciunas. But the way the NBA is now where spacing is so important and you want to have everyone who can shoot at all times. I mean, at least Taylor Jenkins did.

I mean, maybe, frankly, maybe the next coach says, Zach Eady, 35 minutes. Let's post up Zach Eady. We got to get Zach Eady touches. That's what the YouTube commenters want. Yeah. Post-ups are down across the league. Not anymore. I mean, maybe next game, Gigi Jackson is out from his Memphis hustle banishment. We got Gigi Jackson starting. We got Zach Eady posting up. No, I don't know.

I mean, maybe, frankly, maybe the next coach says, Zach Eady, 35 minutes. Let's post up Zach Eady. We got to get Zach Eady touches. That's what the YouTube commenters want. Yeah. Post-ups are down across the league. Not anymore. I mean, maybe next game, Gigi Jackson is out from his Memphis hustle banishment. We got Gigi Jackson starting. We got Zach Eady posting up. No, I don't know.

I mean, all that, that was a really long diatribe on Gigi.

Zach Eady seems fine but like if we had to do it over again why am I drafting Zach Eady when that Matkovich guy went in the second round when Quentin Post you know like on the Warriors like all these centers you just get a guy there's so many centers that just fill in they can do the things you need if you already have a John Morant and a Desmond Bain and a Jaron Jackson Jr.

It was gigantic. I mean, I had some hope still that if Ja Morant was healthy, you got Ja and you got Jaron and you got Desmond Bain. I consider Brandon Clark to be part of probably what your closing lineup's going to be. They usually close the game with Brandon and Jaron in the frontcourt. I mean, even Santi Aldama's been excellent this year.

Even if Santi Aldama played, they had started playing... Santi at the small forward some, so they can still have Brandon Clark on the court. And I think the loss of Brandon, it's just catastrophic. I think it basically, in my not optimistic view, it removed any chance of the Grizzlies probably winning a first-round series.

I thought his switchability on defense from the big position, his activity on the glass, it was so important to what the Grizzlies did. And frankly, when the Grizzlies won their one playoff series, with this current group under Taylor Jenkins, it was because Brandon Clark was incredible. The Timberwolves went out and traded for Rudy Gobert because Brandon Clark destroyed them in a playoff series.

They couldn't keep Brandon Clark off the glass. So that was a proven playoff performer. And even Santiago Dama, as good as he's been this year, he's completely unproven in the playoffs. And then we go back to the Zach Eady. Is Zach Eady going to be the guy you depend on? He's losing minutes to Jay Huff. So it's like, I think Brandon Clark was crucial to their playoff plans. And...

Once he went down, I was like, oh, I would now be actually really surprised if the Grizzlies are able to escape the first round.

Yeah, it's weird when you just think about... I guess it all comes down to expectations of Ja being a superstar and being an all-NBA-level player. Like, he's still... has what he's averaging 22 and seven and the Grizzlies have a fantastic record when he plays. So like he's still excellent. He's still all-star level. Of course, his frame and the way he plays seems like it leads to injury.

As far as some of the injury reporting disparity, Chris Harrington, who covers the Grizzlies for the daily Memphian. I think he was wanting to point out like the NBA doesn't like it when you say a guy's sore. you have like a limited number of times you could say your players out with soreness. So I think that's probably maybe if we connect the dots again, sure.

That's why the hamstring sort of became a hamstring strain. So, so John Morant, like the NBA, it wouldn't be, I don't know. The Grizzlies wouldn't run a foul of the player participation policy, but obviously, yeah.

The John Morant thing, because he is a superstar, he's a social media superstar, you know, the jersey sales, he's the Grizzlies' biggest player in their history, easily one of the most well-known NBA players, and he's crucial to the Grizzlies. If I had 100% confidence in John Morant's health and ability to finish a playoff series, I would not be mourning the Brandon Clark loss quite like I am.

I would still be very sad. I would still feel like that's a huge blow, but Hey, we have John Moran who will, by the way, look up his playoff stats. They're outrageous. Yeah. I think he's career 28 points per game in the playoffs. So I think there's the question like, like, and I don't know what the clear answer is. Like, is it, are they being super cautious with his injuries?

Is he just not feeling totally healthy? Thus he's sitting out. I mean, I think if it's a hamstring issue, that makes sense. You can't risk a hamstring injury. aggravation a few weeks before the playoffs.

So while it has been a disappointing in some sense season, and the fact that he hasn't been available as much as you would like, it's also, it's unfortunately, it's just kind of par for the course. Like when you think about John Morant, you're like, all right, I hope he plays 60, 65 games. He's going to come in under that this year. I mean, it's going to be around 50.

where like jaw is still the biggest draw and he's still fantastic when he plays just wondering, all right, does just every year we have to hope that he ends up healthy for the playoffs, like Kawhi Leonard style, even though he's, you know, 10 years younger than Kawhi.

So yeah, I don't, I don't have a lot of clear answers and it is, it's more of a, it's another mysterious thing about this year's Grizzlies team. Just wondering jaw's overall attitude, the way he's feeling about playing and the way his body feels.
