Erik Spoelstra on Jaime Jaquez Jr:
“Jaime at 3 o’clock was not cleared to play. He put himself out there. He spent 3 hours just trying to get his ankle ready. Even skipped walkthrough to get his treatment. He got cleared after that. Gave us everything he had.”
Shoutout to JJJ.
Goodness, this organization needs to step in and fix this…the issues between coaching staff goes deeper than just one player clearly. We will see what happens in the cup game but if they have the same energy you can’t keep things the same.
See the narrative..”can lisalo sell Ja on his system, or is it time for a new home?” lol a new home for who, it’s not gonna be Ja that’s moved first if it comes to a rookie coach vs star player
If your two stars aren’t communicating with the coach..you can’t keep it the same. The team has to buy into what the coach is selling and when your two leaders don’t it will never work. This team will keep losing until the coach and stars figure it out or he’s let go.
If this is true either make a last attempt to make this right or one of these two has to go. You can’t have this with your Best player and coach it’s a recipe for disaster.
Ja Morant and Tuomas Iisalo are reportedly barely speaking during games, per @KellyIko
“Memphis, much like Houston, is also in the process of learning a new system, but Morant’s body language, which was lacking at a somber morning shootaround, was off all evening. Outside of a mini briefing midway through the fourth quarter with the game already out of reach, Morant didn’t speak to Iisalo. During timeouts, Morant would be off to himself at either end of the bench, swimming in his own thoughts. There were no reassuring handshakes or taps from Iisalo whenever Morant was subbed out, the tension palpable within Fedex Forum.”

Man this guy might not be coach of this team by the end of November…there’s no energy from this team anymore. Whatever happened at halftime of the Lakers game has seemingly lost this locker room
For swag and energy reasons I would love to see Dillon come home and trade Santi once Edey and Clarke are back..it’s not gonna happen but this team needs that edge back
The Grizzlies are not interested in rebuilding and believe their star duo of Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. forms the foundation of a contender, per @SIChrisMannix
“Going full rebuild may be out of the question. And the Grizzlies don’t want to do that. They believe the Morant/Jaren Jackson Jr. tandem is the foundation of a contender. They believe a return to health—Memphis, already, has been decimated by injuries—will lead to wins. This isn’t a team looking to sell Morant. It’s one looking to use the assets it has—including the bag of first-round draft picks it acquired from Orlando in the Desmond Bane trade last summer—to add pieces around him.”

@KevinOConnor My point on this was he’s obviously being sarcastic and that’s not generally what he does. I think he’s gotten a lot back from fans for being critical of Ja(which is fine). I just felt he should’ve kept it opinion based like he has.
@KevinOConnor You’re a media journalist right, why do this? It comes off salty like you actually do have an agenda. Just give your opinion and provide facts like you have been previously.
Draymond Green says NBA players treat games against the Warriors like it’s the Finals
“You’re always going to have guys that step up and just play out of their minds. That is the Warrior effect, that is the effect you get when you have had the success that we have. You figure a lot of these young guys that come into the NBA now, they grew up on the success that we’ve had. So when they come into that game, it’s their NBA Finals. It’s their childhood dream come true. And so, you always get the absolute best version of guys ...”

@JadenTheKid4@DrewHill_DM It wasn’t that serious, it was the first image that came up with “LeBron flop”…I’m sure he’s never exaggerated contact in his entire career
