    Joe, you make a good point abt how lucky Grizz fans are to have had both the Grit & Grind edition and now this edition led by Ja, JJJ & Des...leaders who take responsibility after losses and value Ws over padding their own stats. This is a homegrown team that plays for each other and the Memphis community. Grizz fans are blessed

    The talk before the draft was about his mobility and I think he lost weight to be more mobile, but Edey needa to hit thw weights. No use being big if you getting pushed around

    What people forget about Zach Edey is that he has only been playing organized basketball for seven years. He never played anyone his size and strength in college. This game, as well as the game against Anthony Davis, are the first times he’s ever played someone in his own league physically and skill wise since he’s reached this level. I fully expect both him to adjust, and for the point and shooting guards to find him looks in HIS spots when he’s playing against this caliber of centers. Every one of the entry passes to him last night looked like it was dictated by the defense, and wasn’t going to be successful, based on what I saw from him at Purdue.
    Going forward, I expect Edey to get better in those uncomfortable positions, or do a better job of passing out of them for a quality shot and an assist. I also expect Ja to figure out where and when he should be using Zach more effectively.
    Both of those just take reps, and frankly, he hasn’t had enough of them yet.

    This stat stands out of our current 20-10 record, we are 8-7 in the West. So we have been feasting on the East, except for the Nets. Most teams behind us have played many more conference teams and have winning records. As we begin to play conference more conference games, we will see where we truly stand. January will be a very interesting month. I would love for us to win 60% or more of those games.

    I said at the beginning of the season saying let's see where we are after 30 games. If you said 20 and ten and 2nd/ 3rd in the conference, I would have been happy! With that being said, I believe we are a good team in a good spot. Every loss seems like a learning experience that the team can use to get better. Could we get better with a trade or two? Certainly! But ultimately, our success and failure falls on the shoulders of our big three. When they are bad against teams,no role player can save us! Ja has to cut the crazy turnovers and all the complaining. His body language sometimes is awful. Jaren has been consistent but his efficiency has been slipping. Dez seems to be coming on and finding his groove. If these 3 can all get it together at the same time, we're talking championship! They basically missed a whole season playing together and it shows sometimes, especially against good/ physical teams. I believe they have the desire and the ability to get there but it may not be this season. I sure do hope it is but I've tapered my expectations a bit. They can do it, if the learning/ growing curve is quicker than that of champions past!

    To me, this new offense is completely ineffective against any team with a big with huge paint presence. Ive seen it against AD and now Zubac. Ja's efficiency goes down and JJJ gets in foul trouble. Edey is gonna have to be able to compete with these bigs but he has to be more efficient offensively. But i wont feel comfortable in a playoff series against teams like the lakers, clippers, twolves. And obviously teams with superstars we'll struggle against too like mavs and nuggets. I just dont feel comfortable even with home court against these west teams. But i hope Edey can improve by then, and the turnovers are stupid. 3 second calls and stepping out of bounds are unacceptable. But its only game 30 so we move

      There are a few times that got our number. The Mavs, Lakers, Rockets, and Thunder. I think the biggest issue is the maturity still in this team. Ja is the main culprit. When he is struggling on offensive, he starts to force passes, 3 pointers, and tries to dunk over you. Look at what happened with Lebron. Control your emotions dude. Ja is like a hot head. Can't control his emotions, and it leads to dumb turnovers. We aint going to the finals with that type of mentality. And stop shooting the 3's. You ain't a 3 point sniper. Ja has been terrible this year. Pippen Jr actually is a better defender, and plays more smart basetball. Ja is reckless, and still a bad defender. Thats just not natural for him. We struggle when there are long power forwards, and centers. We still take dumb shots. Jaren still takes dumb fouls. We a great team, but our emotions not on point everyone! Thats a fact. This team has a lot of issues.

    Ja's been playing terrible last couple of games. He had 6 turnovers! The last 2 games he has been turning over the ball and given up crucial points. If you watch all his turnovers, they all turned into points for other team. Turnovers are killing this team. If Ja can average like max 4 turnovers a game, we good. Also whenever he doesn't get the ref's call, Ja just pouts and stands there. Go run back on defense! Stop show boating after a score or dunk. He celebrates too much. Also he says he doesn't dunk? Guess what, he still jumps way too much!!! Thats why he got injured. And stop going for those big time blocks. If he lands bad, its over. Ja let me help you out. There are 3 things you need to control. 1. Stop jumping for big blocks. 2. Make easy assist, no flashy assist. 3. Stop celecbrating or complaining to the refs after a missed call. That will help us win the close games.
