Memphis Hardwood

Well, what more can we say. Ja is out for the season and it looks grim for the Grizzlies...except they beat the pants of the Mavericks last night and hope springs eternal! Per usual Marvin and I find many things to look forward to amid the most recent bad news for the team. Tune in and hear our favorite Grizzlies storylines as we start this new year. 

Ja Morant returned to the court last night and commanded the attention of the NBA world once again. Marvin and Anthony break down Ja's return and give some love to Penny and the Tigers given their recent run. It's all your on a new Memphis Hardwood!

Despite a 'Grizzly' stretch for our Grizzly Bears, there are some things to celebrate. Desmond Bane is playing at a VERY elite level...All NBA for sure. The team might really have something in Vince Williams, Jr., and we love Jaren Jackson, Jr.'s face up game. The Grizzlies get 12 back in a mere 6 days, but how will the team adjust? Marvin and Anthony break it all down on a new Memphis Hardwood! 

The Grizzlies had a .500 week with improved play and a couple solid wins. Throughout the week, the Grizzlies have played harder with Jaylen Nowell and Vince Williams, Jr. serving as bright spots. How will the Grizz fare over the last 6 between now and when Ja returns? Anthony and Marvin break it all down and offer you a prediction. 

Well, the Grizzlies have lost four in a row and, in the latest loss, Marcus Smart read his team the riot act. Are the Grizzlies unraveling? Will Smart's 'pep talk' be helpful to the team? Are we still just counting down the days until Ja gets back? Why did this team win when so readily in the past when they were so under-manned, while now they can barely score the basketball? Marvin and Anthony break it all down in a brand new Memphis Hardwood. Spoiler Alert: we remain positive!

Playing .500 ball over their last four, the Memphis Grizzlies appear to have found some solutions. Santi Aldama has made a huge impact for this team, and Bismack Biyombo has created offensive rebounds and second chances for a team desperate for additional possessions. Marv and I talk about Dillon's first game against the Grizzlies, and we check in on old friend Mike Conley as well. All this and more on a new Memphis Hardwood! 

The Grizzlies continue their skid through a rough patch and, well, Marv and I try to keep it positive. We talk about Jacob Gilyard, how the Grizzlies will look different when Ja is back. But with the loss of Marcus Smart for maybe a while and maybe also Luke Kennard...we end up talking about Dillon Brooks and the Rockets and even a little Draymond Green. This is a tough time for Grizz fans, but hey - this too shall pass. 

Marvin and Anthony celebrate the Grizzlies' first win, and point to the single most important factor in the team's recent challenges. There are certainly some areas where the team can improve, but as fans discuss a big trade or firing a coach it's important to keep the main thing the main thing.

This wasn't the start of the season we envisioned, but Marvin and Anthony find plenty to be hopeful about as the Grizzlies prepare to travel to Utah tonite. Tune in to this latest Memphis Hardwood!

With the news that Steven Adams is out for the season, the Grizzlies have to recalibrate as they enter tonite's opening match up against the Pelicans? What can we look forward to this season? How will the Grizzlies adjust? Marvin and Anthony break it all down on a new Memphis Hardwood!
