Get Ready For The NBA Tanking Campaign Of A Lifetime
By the time the NBA’s All-Star break usually rolls around, the standings are more or less set. It’s typically obvious which four or so teams will be contending for a championship, and it’s also apparent who will be spending the rest of the year in the toilet, tanking for superior lottery odds and dr...
Mike Conley And The Grizzlies Are Done For The Season
Injuries are chewing up this NBA season. Mike Conley, of the Memphis Grizzlies, played in just 12 games before heel and achilles pain put him out of action, and all but ended any hope of the Grizzlies continuing their seven-year streak of making the playoffs in the loaded West. Saturday Conley was o...

Marc Gasol's Postgame Interview: "We Won, So Fuck It"
The Grizzlies snapped their 11-game losing streak tonight with a 95-92 win over the Timberwolves, and Marc Gasol was pretty pumped about it. Enough to clearly drop a “fuck it” in his televised postgame comments....
David Fizdale Probably Shouldn't Have Benched Marc Gasol
The Memphis Grizzlies made the genuinely surprising decision to fire head coach David Fizdale on Monday, just a day after Fizdale sat star center Marc Gasol for the entire fourth quarter against the Nets. Given that Fizdale led the team to 43 wins last season, and given that this year’s team, while ...
David Fizdale Calls Out Mario Chalmers: "His Brain Was Gone"
The Memphis Grizzlies are in a tough spot. They are a perennial playoff team on the descent, not good enough to do much more than scrap for tough wins every night and compete for a bottom-rung playoff spot. Things got a little worse last night, with star point guard Mike Conley on the bench with an ...
Marc Gasol Gave The Business To The Warriors Last Night
Overshadowed, somewhat, by the ejections of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, and the general improbability of the Warriors ever losing—let alone losing to a team starting both Andrew Harrison and Jarell Martin—was another instant classic performance by Marc Gasol, who is wonderful....
Chandler Parsons Isn't Having Fun Anymore
Remember happy Chandler Parsons? He was once a jolly bro who did cool stuff for fans, signed a Mavericks offer sheet in the club, and was boys with Mark Cuban. Parsons was goofy and fun, a lovable NBA doofus who was actually pretty good at basketball. But then that relationship with Cuban got hella ...
Grizzlies Coach David Fizdale On His Activism: "I Want People To Be Uncomfortable"
Grizzlies coach David Fizdale spoke with TNT’s David Aldridge this weekend, and he got into the history of Memphis, the need for solidarity, and why he won’t stop fighting for justice. ...
Grizzlies Coach David Fizdale On Confederate Statues: "Take 'Em Down"
Memphis Grizzles coach David Fizdale shared his perspective on last weekend’s white nationalist rally and subsequent domestic terrorism in Charlottesville in an interview today, condemning President Donald Trump’s response to the event and calling for Confederate memorials to be taken down....
NBA Fines David Fizdale $30,000 For Righteous Rant
Grizzlies head coach David Fizdale gave us one of the best coach rants in history when he went off on the referees after his team’s Game 2 loss to the Spurs. Today, the league announced that he has been fined $30,000 for his comments....
Grizzlies Coach Dave Fizdale Goes Scorched Earth On Refs In Postgame Rant<em></em><em></em>
The Grizzlies recovered from a huge deficit tonight against the Spurs, but eventually fell short of a comeback win, losing 96-82. Kawhi Leonard shot 19 free throws in the game while the Grizzlies shot just 15, a fact which coach Dave Fizdale was quick to note in his postgame press conference. ...
The Spurs Forced Overtime On A Beautifully Designed Inbounds Play
Down two against the Grizzlies with just 2.7 seconds remaining, you’d probably expect the Spurs to try and get the ball into Kawhi Leonard’s hands. That’s what the Grizzlies thought too, so when LaMarcus Aldridge screened Leonard’s man, Wayne Selden, his defender, Brandan Wright, went with Leonard t...
The Latest Evidence That Vince Carter Is An Ageless Wonder
Vince Carter just turned 40, yet he’s still playing 24 minutes per game for the Grizzlies and has recently joined the starting lineup as Memphis lurches down the stretch. His 18th season hasn’t been short of cool highlights, and this evening, he drained a half-court shot before casually dunking it b...
This Man Is 40 Years Old
Let us all praise Vince Carter on this wonderful evening....
Vince Carter Is 40 Years Old And Still Doing This
Vince Carter is a gift we don’t deserve, a star who burned brightly and didn’t burn out. Unlike, say, Tracy McGrady (who is two-and-a-half years younger!), Carter has managed to remain a useful NBA player more than a decade past his prime. Carter turns 40 years old today, and he celebrated with the ...
Warriors Blow 24-Point Lead; Draymond Green: "I'm Kind Of Thrilled That We Lost"
In the third quarter of last night’s game against the Grizzlies, Stephen Curry was on his way to scoring 40 points while getting some “M-V-P” chants from the crowd. Which was nice, because then it all went to shit and Curry’s efforts were for naught. With close to zero offense in the fourth quarter,...
Marc Gasol Doesn't Need His Eyes
Marc Gasol, one of the few Grizzlies still standing, was still staring at the opposite basket when he flung this slick assist in their win over the Magic last night. He stole the ball, spotted a streaking Troy Williams out of the corner of his left eye, and didn’t bother to turn around, instead hur...
Mike Conley, Who Has Been Tearing It Up, Out Indefinitely With Vertebrae Fracture
After last year’s Achilles-hobbled season, after signing the most lucrative contract in NBA history, and after starting this season on a tear, Mike Conley is hurt yet again. This plainly sucks. During the Grizzlies’ matchup against the Hornets last night, the point guard toppled over after a hard ch...
Marc Gasol Unveils The "Spanish McGregor Walk"
The Memphis Grizzlies got themselves an impressive win on the road against the Los Angeles Clippers last night. The Grizz were down 107-106 with 23 seconds to play when Marc Gasol stepped up to hit a game-winning three from the corner. ...
