Cameron Boozer gives the Grizzlies a clear foundational building block and offers all sorts of team building flexibility. A window just opened up Column linked below in the comments👇

I feel a little less bad about the OKC loss after looking at their opponent shooting numbers. That top-2 defense won’t sustain when opponents realize they are allowed to make wide open 3s

Not saying OKC won’t still be good when the shooting luck evens out. Also not saying that they can’t benefit long-term from opponents shooting below average on open looks since their defensive intensity makes opponents uncomfortable, even when they break free for open looks

But some degree of opponent shooting regression is coming. And I don’t think OKC is going to remain this level of defensive juggernaut as long as they remain down multiple key perimeter defenders, and as long as they remain bottom third in the league in forcing turnovers

First truly bad Boozer game

It’s a rite of passage for any up and coming great Grizzlies team to lose to an inferior New Orleans squad behind the outlier performances of their white backup centers. Nicolò Melli and Jason Smith haunt me in my sleep

Craziest part of this Grizzlies start is I feel like they’ve only played partially well in like two of these games

Honestly could’ve bumped a couple of these for a QOTSA, BCNR or Spoon song but I probably put 2 minutes of thought into this list lol

People get too caught up in how the songs on these lists are ordered (which is always engagement bait). I get way more confused about how they decide which artists get two songs. Like why are Muse and the Killers on here twice despite the existence of better, similarly big bands?
Rolling Stone reveals their top rock songs of the 21st century. 1. “Maps” - Yeah Yeah Yeahs 2. “Seven Nation Army” - The White Stripes 3. “Mr. Brightside” - The Killers 4. “good 4 u” - Olivia Rodrigo 5. “The National Anthem” - Radiohead 6. “I Know The End” - Phoebe Bridgers 7. “Last Nite” - The Strokes 8. “99 Problems” - Jay-Z 9. “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” - Arctic Monkeys 10. “Impossible Germany” - Wilco

The artists represented on this list all mostly sense to me. There aren’t many deserving artists that got snubbed if you take it as a list for artists of a certain popularity level. But I assumed the list was limiting it to one song per artist before I reached the top 50

Kinda glad Jerome had an off game due to more defensive attention. The way he’s getting guarded in halfcourt sets creates tons of advantages for everyone else. It’s a far cry from having a PG only commands that level of attention by getting paint touches or playing in transition

The offense became a bit too “let Ty heat check for 36 minutes” in the first 3 games. Ball movement tonight with him on the floor was better

Then the last 3 minutes was every bit as convincing as his first 3 games tape in making star arguments about him. He just got to his spots at will and trapped defenders on his back side multiple times. Great close to the game outside of that one kinda selfish 3PT attempt late

31 point game from Ty Jerome and it was a meh performance by his standards #whew

Reverse jinx never fails
I’m convinced Memphis will never win again in that arena until Curry retires. Xavier Tillman used up all the devil magic hitting that three in the 2021 play-in
