For you all in the comments saying that they stopped Henry in the 3rd quarter, you do realize Green Bay stopped Henry in the 3rd quarter on his 1st 4 or 5 carries and he eventually broke off a 30 yard run a few carries after that right? You guys think when a back gets stopped 3 times in a row that theyve been figured out and thats enough to abandon it all together. Just completely ignoring what u all saw last week in Green Bay. They stopped Henry early in that 3rd quarter last week and they were still featuring him because they had no other option and u saw him start to break even more runs. He was getting the ball on 3rd & 5 and getting 12 yards. Pittsburgh didnt stop Henry, the Ravens just decided to lean on Lamar. It worked out for them tho because every open pass they got was a direct result of Pittsburgh being scared shitless of Henry.
@chriman_ I have already. Numerous times showing different Edey lineup combinations. Im talking about JAYLEN WELLS today tho & how HE'S affected by Edey's absence. That HIS current slump is deeper than missing some shots.
Ok Unc, I'll bite. Grizz fans accounts are quick to point out the fact that Ja Morant is averaging 26 points in his last 3 games. Theyre not so quick to point out that the Grizzlies are 1-2 in those games & theyre definitely not quick to point out that they lost both of those games because Morant was targeted and scored on late in those games. See, you can only hide so much in this league. When your "best player" is a 🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛, no matter how hard his coach try to hide him, the other coach will always find him when the game is on the line. Will Hardy found him in the end when the Grizzlies played Utah, & Nick Nurse found him in the end when Philly played them on Tuesday. But hey, he scored 40. We're going to ignore that his counterpart had 12 assists to 0 turnovers while he had 5 turnovers to 3. Those 40 points tho.... Thats what's important here. Go Grizz.
One last thing. I think its laugh out loud hilarious that Ja Morant was getting frustrated with Koloko & having poor body language because he was having a hard time dealing with Embiid. As if Embiid isnt a master grifter & baiter who had goven the best defenders in this league a hard time for years. I found that hilarious that he had the nerve to be frustrated with Koloko while he was able to hiding throughout the majority of the game. He couldnt hide in the 2nd half tho, as Nick Nurse finally started to get Morant in actions with Edgecomb & Maxey. Edgecomb had 4 shots in the 1st half & 15 in the 2nd half. Opened the game by bombing a 3 by getting rid of Morant on a screen. That was there all game long, but Maxey was cooking. They got to it when it mattered most tho and it won them the game.
See, some players can dominate games by taking just 3 shots and win those games. Some players can score 40 & still lose. Some dudes can score 40 & be the 4th best player in the game and the 2nd best player on his team. The Grizzlies scored 72 points in the 1st half on Tuesday and they scored 56 points in the next 24 minutes. The Grizzlies had 19 assists in the 1st half on Tuesday but only had 8 in the next 24 minutes. Guys who couldnt miss in the 1st half all of the sudden couldn't make shots. I wonder what happened. Aye, but he scored 40 tho... Thats what the people want. See, I can do this shit all day.
@tbg_jo@GodlyNBA Aye nigga, the Grizzlies were 80 points better when Ja Morant wasn't on the floor last night. What does him scoring 40 have to do with the clip I posted of him looking dudes off? All of u niggas are stupid.
See when your lead is a scorer and is hungry to score, he isnt going to make the right play 100% of the time. When your lead guard is a combo guard who looks off open teammates so he can get his own, you get 5 turnovers to 3 assists. You get his defenders saying that he can't pass and make the shot for his teammates at the same time. My lil contribution to the ⭕️⭕️⭕️. Facts over feelings. See basketball truths dont discriminate. It hits everybody, even ur favorite player.

Ivica Zubac is coming off the bench tonight in his return. Tyronn Lue said he had a convo with Zubac yesterday and that the team is going to ride the hot hand for the moment. Zubac is expected to be on a minutes restriction tonight.
Zach Edey went from being ranked 436th in his high school class, to having an all-time career with @BoilerBall, to becoming a Top 10 NBA Draft pick 👏
🎙️: @MattNorlander
Two possessions with Zach Edey defending a guard on the perimeter. He even gets into his defensive crouch at one point. He seems to slide his feet pretty well. It was kind of impressive. Let me know your thoughts
The Grizzlies have played 14 games in November. Compare opponents' PPG in the first 7 games (without Edey) vs. the last 7 games (with Edey).
Nuggets game: Edey played 6 minutes. Pelicans game: he had +39 and a defensive rating of 79.
ZACH EDEY IS DPOY 🏆
