@Sam_Phalen @zandermercury Zietler is coming back. He is waiting to sign after team OTAs. Same as last year

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@TicTacTitans @SleeperTitanUp If we’re being nitpicky Tyler then it should be “retain”

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@TicTacTitans @DaytonaVice You just named 3 different serious injuries in the past 4 years. Sure they’re unrelated but I wouldn’t assume injury bad luck is past him. He may be a beast but not worth the risk at #4

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@TicTacTitans @DaytonaVice Too big of a risk with injury history. Might as well go Love if you take a playmaker. This pick needs to be an impact player. Can’t miss

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@Lane_Kiffin @TigerWoods You hit a hybrid on Par 3s

[Austin @rtraustin_]

People need to start acknowledging that Derrick Henry is the greatest running back to ever play football

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@Jon_Roser Absolutely

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@TicTacTitans @Titan_Holaday The argument is if it’s a short term later season injury and you’re in the playoff hunt. Your argument only holds true if it’s a big injury and the record is bad

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@TDavenport_NFL @Tennessee_Ed We’d regret letting Restrepo go. Proche and Jefferson are only 1 year players on this team

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@Jon_Roser Would be a huge pickup. Mario Chalmers type fit with leadership

[Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz]

A night that will last forever.

@ClayTravis Best RB in football history. High School, College, & NFL

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@salmanfredi @cmz8yryvbm Bad take. Why wouldn’t he play for the record?

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@ohokvontae @Titan_822 @salmanfredi They’d trade down

@austinabbott Lamb, Higgins, G Wilson. Start 2

GRIZZLIES’ SCORING SURGE: FROM WORST TO FIRST

Last season, the Grizzlies finished 13th in the West, averaging a league-low 105.8 points per game.

This season? They lead the NBA in scoring (122.1 ppg) and boast a 17-8 record, tied for second in the West after winning nine of their last 10.

Historic Turnaround: No NBA team has ever gone from the lowest-scoring offense to the highest-scoring offense from one season to the next.

Memphis’ +16.3 ppg increase would be the greatest one-year jump since 1954-55 — the first season with a shot clock.

Historic Pace: The Grizzlies have already scored 140+ points twice this season, tying their single-season franchise record. They’ve also never led the league in scoring over an entire season.

The Key: Ranking third in rebounding (47.6) and second in pace (104.64), Memphis thrives in the open floor, leading the NBA with 36.8 transition ppg — 5+ more than the next closest team and 10+ beyond the third.

Its Engine? Ja Morant. After missing 73 games last season, Morant has reignited Memphis’ early offense, averaging 7.4 transition ppg, second only to Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Ja Effect: With Morant pushing the tempo, the Grizzlies are getting better looks, ranking third in wide-open FGA (26.0) and second in assists (30.3), fueled by Morant’s career-high 8.5 dimes per game.

Another Result? Balanced scoring. Seven Grizzlies have hit double figures in 12 games this season, while no other team has more than five such games.

Controlling the Paint: In the half-court, Memphis gets inside with Morant’s athleticism and Jaren Jackson Jr.’s strength, leading to an NBA-best 58.9 points in the paint per game.

Thunder & Lightning: Jackson Jr. (11.3) and Morant (11.1) are one of only three duos in the league each averaging over 11 points in the paint this season.

Pick Your Poison: Stop Morant’s acrobatics at the rim (see his jaw-dropping 360 layup above), and you still have to slow down his connection with Jackson Jr.

The Grizzlies have scored 115+ points in 10 straight games, tied for the third-longest streak in franchise history.

But the Nets have limited them to just 105.0 ppg in their two meetings this year, leading to two Brooklyn wins.

Tonight, the two sides will square off for a third and final time this season (8 PM ET) as part of a seven-game slate on League Pass.

JA MORANT WHAT ON EARTH

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@langwhitaker Loves the behind the back pass in the paint

[Nick @Nick_May_]

@austinabbott Higgins, Brian Robinson Jr, or Aaron Jones. 1 spot

@SainAsylum 2017-2021 was a fun ride with a hall of fame RB. Beat Brady and Lamar on the road in the playoffs and had a pretty good record against Mahomes too. Just a rebuild now due to a number of things
