Now’s the time.

GG Jackson starting?!?!?!?

My current favorite thing about Wemby is how low everyone has to throw bounce passes underneath his reach to get past him. It’s so low it’s like a ping pong serve that might bounce twice before it reaches its target.

They say there are no bad ideas in a brainstorm but I've found three.

I hate all of this.

You'd be proud of me, dear readers, as I barely even mentioned Ja Morant: www.patreon.com/posts/expect...

Santi Aldama scoring 37 in a home loss to the worst team in the league is the definition of his career.

The soccer gods have the chance to do the funniest thing.

Kudus looks like he’s playing on one leg.

Jesus that’s a red. Xavi wyd?!?!?

RKM up top with Xavi or Bergval on left? Or are we rocking 4-2-2-2 with Kudus/RKM staying high?

Bsky has the juice.

God VJ has made several hero plays down the stretch of this one. What a game from him.

I find myself just constantly rooting for the Knicks when I turn on their games.

The Cavs are not enjoying their basketball right now.

The Zach Lowe show interview with Alpi Sengun is delightful.

I think conventional wisdom is that NOLA or MIN would move East ahead of MEM. Spiritually, NOLA deserves to be in the East because that's where nearly all the crap organizations are -apologies to SAC, LAC. At least take Minny off our plates.

I don’t know why teams treat other players differently than Ja, but Naz Reid being up on Clarke instead of at the nail gives JJJ a cleaner drive to the basket here:

The movie is a mess. The book is one of the masterpieces of the 21st century.

The NBA Cup is an unequivocal good thing. Is it the greatest thing ever? No. But anyone crapping on it has the memory of a goldfish because it is December, and the average NBA game in December is on less rest and with fewer stakes. The Cup games were really good!

Cedric Coward forces an airball on James Harden’s step back, then sprints past him in transition for a dunk.

Wait, Dillon Brooks did what at the end of the Lakers game last night? Oh boy,,,,

Speaking of monetizing a much smaller online following than most, I give half the $2 Patreon sub to charity for any Grizz fans out there. The most recent post is on Jaylen Wells handle, and how it limits his game ---> www.patreon.com/posts/closeu...

Maybe this gentleman can distinguish or even enjoys distinguishing the Nazis, bad faith posters and bots, from the good faith posters, but I'll say for my part the % of my replies of the last group had dwindled to almost nothing.

The entire team just stands and watches once Kudus gets the ball knowing he isn’t passing out for a while.

The subs have been bad.

Ben Davis?

……Ben Davies?

Lmao. Another BS goal.

You can tell Spurs are not super comfortable playing out the back.

Anthony Black has leveled up this year. And yes, I was typing this while Brunson put him on his butt.

The entire Jazz run last night was just guards taking Cam Spencer over and over.

Cam Spencer is an under-equipped defensive player.

I’m going to watch the rest in the morning, but I saw the Ja block and it was delightful.

Utah with 10 points in the paint so far in this one to just 6 for MEM. Jaren currently has as many shots as Jock Landale.

At least teams with a true pick and roll center can talk themselves into Ja still being good now that he hasn’t played with Edey the entire year.

We'll never forget those two weeks when Zach Edey was unironically the most impactful player on the Grizzlies.

For any readers out there, TRAIN DREAMS is one of the books of this century. It is less than 200 pages, and it is written by one of the absolute GOATs of modern literature, Denis Johnson RIPower.

Spurs might have found something with DM + Gray midfield. I feel reasonably confident Spurs could fix one of the midfield OR wingback depth in January, but fixing both seems like a tall order. Might be huge if Gray can be the CM fix for the rest of the year.

Okay. We've scammed our way to a 2-0 lead. Start rotating in Tel for Richy, maybe even shift Gray out to wingback. We've got a load of games coming.

Didn’t think Tel would be added for Solanke, but the kid should start. He and RKM are the shot merchants in this side, and Tel is arguably the best at creating space for a shot.

This poison is killing me, but it - the poison - tastes so good!

The Grizzlies are beating the bad teams again! www.patreon.com/posts/two-do...

23/14/5 is not a stat line you expect from your shooting guard.

The Rockets are up 40 on the Suns who might be without Booker for a few more games. MEM could just beat bad teams and wind up as the 8 seed.

Damn that was a nice hit ahead pass from Spencer to Wells for the dunk.

Edey and Coward co-blocking Kawhi on his way to the rim //////chefs kiss

Ok that floater from Cam Spencer was legit. Running full speed, doesn’t over dribble, was comfortable starting his floater from a little further than you need to when you’re not sprinting. Big time.

Not sure if this is accurate, but USA isn't obviously better than any of the other teams in their Pot, but not obviously worse either.

What a pass by LeBron. Pretty devastating to have one of the best passers in NBA history as the release valve when your lead ball handler is doubled.
