Nope.

I've been saying it for the past 2 seasons now that I'd rather have him than Quickley on our team even though Q has that one skillset we've lacked which is knocking down the 3. If that's not falling then he's really just an injury prone soft pg.

I think RJ def deserves his praise. It's not his fault our team roster is filled with guys with similar skillsets and don't mesh that well. He brings something our team lacks and I'm glad he's showing it.

I'm still not attached to any player on this team though so if there are moves we can make to fix some of these holes I'd be ok with trading anyone.

Very impressed with our top 3 guys as well as CMB and Mamu so far. Not overly worried about IQ yet, but it helps that Shead has been pretty damn solid. Would look a bit worse if we were getting absolutely nothing out of the PG spot, but again I’m not too pressed about IQ’s slow start.

Overall, the offence hasn’t been an issue while the defence has been better the past few games albeit against teams missing the engines of their offences. It will be interesting how we fair in the rematch against the Bucks tomorrow night. Milwaukee is averaging nearly 125 PPG early in the season and they’re making it look pretty easy. First half in the first matchup was a pretty good defensive showing, but the second half…not so much.

Scottie's best game of the year. Full effort on D. I know the Grizzlies were easy pickings, but without Poeltl our defensive structure is beyond compromised and we need Scottie to clean up a lot of junk.

Ingram playing and motivated needs to stay. Nice team effort tonight.

BI's been a treat to watch so far.

Fantastic trade (and signing) by the Raps FO.

I love BI so far. Both in terms of what he brings on the court to his fit personality wise. Seems to have zero ego and just be a great dude.

The rj putback dunk in the 3rd was niceeee

RJ has such weird athleticism. Like he can make these nice dunks but he looks so unathletic when trying to move side to side to defend lol

[Axe Dragon]

Sheads 3 is looking more reliable

Making IQ expandable

Overall a good win and a win we should get considering they were missing Ja, Edey and Clarke.

Hopefully this can give the team some confidence going forward. A couple tough games coming with the Bucks and Sixers, but after that the schedule gets a lot easier for the rest of November.

Grizzlies suspend Ja Morant for 1 game for detrimental conduct

The Memphis Grizzlies suspended star point guard Ja Morant on Saturday for one game because of conduct detrimental to the team.

The suspension comes as a result of first-year Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo challenging Morant's leadership and effort in a postgame exchange after Friday night's 117-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers -- to which Morant responded in a tone deemed inappropriate and dismissive, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. The confrontation happened in front of the team, sources said.

The basketball universe wants us to get to 500. I hope the boys close this out and get us a W.

Keys to the game

1. Control the glass
   
2. Don't let JJJ dominate
   
3. Put the clamps on their main sources of offense in the 2nd half
   
4. Win the three point battle

Thaddy put the GT up SOON please! Thanks bro!

RJ is easily the 3rd most important player on this team. Where are the haters at????????

He’s perfectly suited for that role. Tertiary offense. Leader of the bench offense.

Quoting this again because....LOLOLOLOL - what a horrible take.

still LOLing?

Cool. We know where we stand. LOL. At least you’re consistent!

By the way, I’m speaking offensively. It’s pretty hard to argue. Overall, I’d say Jak is #3.

I'm nothing if not consistent.

As I continue to maintain, RJ is an important piece of our team. He’s also from Toronto and if anyone in the starting 5 gets traded it’s likely to be IQ first.
