I’ve pretty much already totally forgotten about the Grit’n’Grind era of Memphis basketball. For one thing, it wasn’t very much fun because defense is antithetical to the whole point of basketball IMHO, and for another, all the big names from back then are donezo. Zach Randolph, out of the league. Marc Gasol, partied too hard…

Dillon Brooks 31 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2019)
I am currently very upset over an injustice that just happened to me at McDonald’s involving coupons and a VERY rude drive-thru attendant. I chose the thumbnail image for this video because it accurately portrays what my face looked like while I was screaming. Have the never heard about “the customer is always right”? Don’t…

Ja Morant is averaging the most points among 2019 draftees. Ja Morant is averaging the most assists among 2019 draftees. Do we even need to play the rest of the season, or can we just give Morant the ROTY of the Year award right now? I’m voting in favor of not playing the rest of…
Read MoreBrandon Clarke 16 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
I’ve taken to pronouncing Brandon Clarke’s last name as “Clarky”. Usually this pronunciation is only done inside my head because I don’t normally have occasion to say his name to other real-life human beings. However, if I did need to talk about Clarke to other people, I would definitely pronounce it “Clarky” in order to…
Read MoreJa Morant 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
I know this is a video depicting the exploits of one Ja Morant, one of the most exciting rookies in the NBA right now, but I am very upset about injustice right now and I have to get it off my chest. Isn’t that what all of pubic discourse is about these days? Fighting injustice?…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 21 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2019)
It’s fun to hear a commentator say stuff to the effect of “it’s better when he lets the game come to him” or “this is the Dillon Brooks we need to see, taking it to the rim” and then said player goes and starts taking and making a whole bunch of swaggy jumpers, directly contradicting…
Read MoreJa Morant 30 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (10/27/2019)
The Grit n’ Grind era of Memphis basketball is over (although Jae Crowder seems like he would fit in that era), and you know what? I’m not even feeling that sad about its demise. As much as everyone likes to pretend that they like low-scoring defensive basketball games, the truth is that they don’t. The…

What’s up with all these damn Canadians infesting my NATIONAL (note: NATIONAL means AMERICAN) Basketball Association? It seems like every time I look at where some mysterious young player was born in, it turns out to be Canada. Not to be racist or anything, but they need to go back to where they came from….
Read MoreJaren Jackson 23 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
Brevin Knight (the Grizzlies’ color commentator, for those who, like me, don’t really know the names of the people behind the mics) sure seemed to be adamant about Jaren Jackson taking it inside and not “settling” for outside shots. Um, did he not see Jackson’s first ever Summer League game? You know, the one where…
Read MoreJa Morant 14 Points/4 Assists Grizzlies Debut Full Highlights (10/23/2019)
Ja Morant got off to a very hot start in his debut, making three shots in the first four minutes and causing both the Grizzlies commentators and all Grizzlies fans watching from afar to salivate copiously. If he had kept up that rate of scoring and his coach decided to ride the hot hand by…
