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.
