Grizzlies front office has put some work in the last 2-3 years. Smartest of all Ja Morant is at 31.8 mpg for his career. Trying to make him last. 

We are a deep deep team. A really good FO that doesn't always pick guys with upside and potential. 

Speaking of Ja Morant 

 

 

Yeah that dude could easily dunk on an 11ft rim - maybe even 11.5

I don’t mind her voice.  It’s fine.  Maybe it sounds different to you because it has to cross an ocean.  

Anyway, last night’s Eagles game was pretty bad and there’s been a lot of criticism on social media because the Eagles were playing all backups and the announcers were saying stuff like

 

Also:

 

That’s bad announcing

They were terrible. Griese sounded like every other horrible ex jock they try to throw into an announcing role. Few are good at it. Romo and Aikman are exceptions. 

It isn't Kate Scott's voice so much as her mannerisms. Its hard to put my finger on it, but "TOE-Bias" is a good example. Her excitement comes off as fake and annoying. She also doesn't really bring much to the broadcasts. There's nothing insightful or interesting about how she calls the games. At times she also gets calls wrong. The other night she didn't seem like she knew the difference between a charge and a block. Alaa politely corrected her.  In short she isn't the worst announcer in the world, but she's far from good.

I was reading replies to her tweet where folks were telling her they turn the game off when she’s announcing.    I’m not saying she’s a good announcer - I think it’s hilarious that people get so worked up about it.  The Toe-bias thing is funny at this point.  I mean, I thought we were laughing about it more than anything.  I don’t really think Alaa is a great analyst either, but as I said earlier - that might be partially because I hate Duke.  I hated Billy King too…

 

 

Holy smokes.  Team meetings?  Can this be true?  I would love to be in a film study with Ben sitting there. 

Doc: "Tyrese, after that hand-off you should've slashed to this wide open baseline or curl to the corner and wait for the possible kick out.  What do you think Ben?"

 

Easy win against the Rockets in Houston.

Next two are Charlotte and Boston at home.

8-2 in the last 10,but the Bulls are 9-1

First things first, let's reel in the Nets.  They lost to a Portland team tonight without CJ, Dame, Nance Jr and Norman Powell.   We're now just 2 games back of the Nets.

The thing that’s weird is the sixers 8-8 home record. Legitimately since that hawks playoff series, the sixers have not been anywhere close to what they have been at home prior to it.

That's because our fans suck, we are unsupportive and mean!  LMAO

The Philadelphia 76ers have begun to attach Tobias Harris to their trade discussions of Ben Simmons, according to Brian Windhorst and Marc J. Spears of ESPN.

Using Simmons to get out from the Harris contract makes a ton of sense but attaching a negative asset like Tobias will reduce any expected return. Really hope this happens.

He could be on the block both because he sucks and because Morey knows the fanbase can no longer stand Kate calling him Toe Toe.

The return package might be even worse if have to attach Harris

Most likely but the best shot of a chance at a ring is by removing both of those guys from the roster.  The sooner, the better.  We aren't a championship caliber team this year even if we make a major trade.

sixers are last in the entire league in rebounding....tobi at pf kills them on the boards. i'd be thrilled if morey is able to move him.

Having Ben’s size and rebounding at the PG position made up for that but you are certainly not replacing that aspect of Ben’s game in a trade for a wing or guard.

Can he and Maxey play together?  They seem to be similar in style.  Maybe Maxey can become the shooter of the two.

Edit:

 

Wow he is averaging 8.3 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game?  Holy ****!

yep. as much as ben sucks, they miss his rebounding & defense...and those are 2 areas tobi sucks at.
