Grizz fan here. Really great breakdown! While our offense has been lethal so far this season, it really starts for us on defense. It’s always been Jenkins calling card. Coming into the season, he challenged Ja to take the next step on defense, and Ja has rose to the occasion. His individual defensive effort is at a level we hadn’t seen before, and the rest of the team has followed his lead. Jaren (and Edey) will always be staples for us defensively, but Ja taking pride on defense really elevates both the floor and the ceiling for us on that end. Looking forward to your future grizz breakdowns!
The key to their success is that they 3 game set. The frist is with all the stars and ja in the line up, we have seen these against boston and will be more common in rough games. The second, the starters without ja, this is used when ja is injured or to give him some rest. The third is with the bench as starter (pipen, wells, huff, laravia, santi) used when all starters are injured or against wizards or blazzers. The magic is that all of these line ups work. Its a deep team indeed
Want to mention their defense lacked on multiple early games due to sync issues. So the stats will go up faster than expected since that issue has been fixed. So I believe if they started like they are now. That stat line will show top 3 in all def categories. But as you mention with the season going on it will only get better. Also implementing Vince Williams back in with GG will add another layer of defense since Vince is one of their top 3 defensive players overall.
I also think the fact that everyone is getting substantial minutes helps Ja to give out more effort on the defensive end. Usually superstars are playing 35 to 38 mins a game, but Ja is averaging around 28 mins a game, so is Bane and JJJ. This allows them to exert more effort defensively, since they wont always have that extra 5 to 10 minute load on their bodies every game. This will also keep them fresher later down in the season while also giving the young grizzlies bench more minutes to get more experience, develop their own skills and improve even more, which improves the overall team. I hope they stay healthy from now till the end of the season and throughout the playoffs because they deserve a playoff run fully fit
Last season was horrible from Memphis for many reasons, but the experience has helped a number grown their game, Laravia, Pippin and Aldama and arguably JJJ as well. Bane is working his way back into form and Vince Williams jr will be good to get back on defence. There's also GG Jackson out injured who showed flashes of the player he could be last season. It's looking good for a decent regular season but they need to show more in the play offs this season.
Yep, rank two in the West, and of course! Wells , towering wellbeing held Curry Smothered , and without one single field goal made, regardless.! 🍿🥱💥Hell, do it again tomorrow ..😮💨💥😡💥🫣 🥴💥Unfortunately 😳💥😖💥🤣

@@vonskiii9851 Couldn’t agree more and Ja has definitely taken a huge step forward this season defensively!
No no do not give them the credit they need. I still want to make money on them from betting .

Great analysis!!!
@@pineapplepizza8656 Thank you!!!
Really good video
@@Nerdlikehistory Thank you!!
Nice analysts
@@WiseCanada Thank you!!
We have one of the deepest bench rosters in the league. Maintaining 20 pt leads while resting stars will be game changing for the playoffs! #GoGrizz

@@michaelharo7761 Thank You 🙏🏽
Go Grizzlies!
Cavs fan, I hope finals are Griz vs Cavs. Both deep talented young teams. 7 games for sure.
Grizzlies in winning rhythm
Luh-RAY-via
this is all without vince williams jr as well who is such a good defender if they stay healthy no reason they can’t win the chip
One thing. La-ray-vee-a not lah-rah-vi-ah
Cool but I dont care for the AI voice.
You sound like freaking Albert Einstein trying to explain something compared to me about when I try to tell everybody else why the grizzlies are good.
