I love Todd Snider’s music and deeply enjoyed the few times I got to talk with him, including one early afternoon at a music festival when we were both just wandering around. I’ll write something soon, the first opportunity I can find. But here’s a quote from a 2012 interview I did with him. RIP.

It’s mostly speculation that the Grizzlies’ quick substitution pattern is something that’s frustrated Morant. But Iisalo had an interesting broad response to the notion that NBA players might bristle at it, without confirming its relevance here.

The nine possessions Ja Morant played to open the third quarter against the Lakers on Friday, while the Lakers were on an 18-5 run. Rarely crossed the 3-point line. Never fully in the paint.

Tankathon is now updating for current standings, which is meaningless at this point of the season but does offer an illustration of how theoretically complex the Grizzlies pick situation actually is.

Will almost certainly put Grizzlies in position to apply for a hardship exception after 3-game mark. Since absences double up at PG (Jerome, Pippen) and C (Edey, Clarke), they could look either way.
Spitballing candidates:
C - Charles Bassey, Achiuwa
G - Jared Butler, Cam Payne, Del Wright, Bufkin
