#MemphisGrizzlies #JaMorant #Grizzlies #NBA
It's simple as Ja health, SGA and Ant been able to develop due to play time, but luckily Ja seem to be so good that he can short the gap if he can go a full year without missing major time.
Exactly I feel like Ja is in that Luka/Sga conversation he just has to stay on the floor. Haven’t seen this team with a consistent pg in 3 years smh. Even this year with the off the floor issues he’s up and down. Trip my favorite player in the league but Ja gotta do his part for them to make a deep run.
Jabari smth looks like a soldier man he looks so serious and focused. Id say his coach loves him 😂
I think Aldama is going to fight for the starting role. Well see the season looks so good
Over Jaren Jackson? Ya right nice try diddy
@ no bro. But playing the three over gg and vince williams maybe
@@alvarocastroregueiro The offense would be great but Santi is just not fast enough to guard a wing.
@alvarocastroregueiro that man is not playing the 3. On top of that, he is not a better overall player than GG. He ain't a better scorer, rebounder, or defender
@@ceejordan9649he’s is a better rebounder the gg and a better defender and honestly a better 3 point shooter but gg is built more to play the 3 then santi
Any update on GG since he practiced with the Hustle?
He went back and practiced with the Hustle today
@michaeljoy7132 cool thanks!🤞🏼
When most people I see suggest a trade, the trade is often not even legal, much less attractive to the other team(s).
We locked on like some of my favorite players hair
#Locgang
DaMichael dead on as usual. Gg and Vince are 2 players we need. Will they have enough time to get where they need to be?
Questions I would love for the crew to answer. Kind of answered this one today.. are the Grizzlies going to try to break the playoff mode and play up tempo?
Is Wells, Pippen, Edey Huff doing well because of Marcus’ leadership?
Keldon Johnson for Marcus Smart
I dont need close to a return. I need a definite date😢😢
The bench is going to Be POWERFUL When we get Fully Healthy… Scottie P Jr, M Smart, GG Jackson,Santi Aldama, Zach Edey or BC Or Jay Huff…. That’s Tuff ash🔥🔥🔥
He’s aware, they said his growth on the court has been visible and be aware that’s what they like to say when I was locked up
Can We Talk About Zach Edey Adding Post Moves too bro only got 1 post move I think he woulda be ELITE IF HE GET SOME DAM MOVESS
He’s still developing i honestly blame Purdue for how they developed him but he’ll improve
@ right and I think he starting playing basketball n high school the 11th grade if I’m not mistaking… he most definitely has a lot of potential to grow
@@johnpassword9744 he did he was in baseball and hockey I think first then got to play basketball
Heat fan here..Ja going under 35.5 pra? 1st game back against Houston
Joe remember two years ago you know I gotta say something when you didn’t like Santa‘s defense in the playoffs even though he was doing the best he could well now I’m glad it finally came around and like Sandy and there is no cushion in the west Bro it ain’t easyT it’s the Weezy like you’re tired after when you run fast and nobody runs faster than jaw so I’m sure that everybody’s tired trying to freaking chase him. Let’s just pray for health and let’s just hope that every team in the west gets papa bears belt 🐾
I don’t even know which position we need to strengthen, but I mean if Jaden and Ivy could play the three maybe he could he could be a good steal while he’s hurt you know he probably wouldn’t get cheaper than our people wouldn’t be anywhere skeptical and you know he already would play good with Edey
Guys! We don't need a trade. Get the team healthy and pay Santi and Jake
No play GG and Vince
@@kee931000 I agree we don't need a trade but we should plat Vince and GG
@@Shhh11. Exactly. I don't think our fan base understand what we truly have in those guys. Especially GG. We literally got a LeBron James, Rudy Gay, Kevin Durrant type player. If GG came out of college during the mid 2000s he'd be considered the next Bron or KD. We got potentially 4 generational talents in Ja, JJJ, GG, and Edey with Bane potentially being one of the leagues best shooters.
@@kee931000Vince already paid
He’s aware, they said his growth on the court has been visible and be aware that’s what they like to say when I was locked up but we locked on baby not up praise lord
Don't under stand Taylor Jenkins starting lineup and his rotations? You look at The bench and 3 starters are sitting at the end of the qst qtr and with 3 minutes left in the game. Our bench is getting blown out against their starters. Wells, Pippen,Aldama and Laravia are not starters!
Morant, Edey Baine, Jackson and Smart! Wakeup Jenkins that don't work against playoff teams!
I am glad we didn't get that Diva Jimmy Butler
Heyyyyyy heat fan here 😮😮
Joe Mullinax = Kiko Rivera
Grizzlies are a true contender already, they dont win more games bc of injuries but the team is excellent when fully health. Butler would improve the level but is not needed to win in my opinion
I have to see a few things to agree:
1. fully healthy team. We still have not seen them play the best of the best line ups this team potential can display.
2. half court offense. When the game slows down and become a possession game what happens if JJJ is in foul trouble? He's the go to in half court offense as of now.
3. turnovers. The turnovers are recipe for trouble. I watch Cavs and Thunder last night and they both played damn near same level of play. But guess what?! A few turnovers down the stretch sealed the victory for the Cavs.
Grizz have way more than a "few" turnovers.
