Latest news and updates about the Grizzlies
It’s going to be tough to write 300+ words about Sunday night’s season finale between the playoff bound Houston Rockets and the obviously tanking Memphis Grizzlies. I may have to rely on a few random famous Ron Burgundy warm up quotes such as, “How now brown cow.” With the Rockets being locked in as the […]

Before we start, I want to thank everyone who has even read one of these this season. They’ve always been a fun way to talk about basketball and the Houston Rockets specifically. A huge round of appreciation for Xiane and Holly, who each grabbed a couple of previews back in January while I was abroad […]
If the Utah Jazz were fined $500,000 for suspected tanking in a game that they won, Adam Silver had better be aligning the crosshairs of his catastrophic death laser (every NBA commissioner has had one since Larry O’Brien had his commissioned back in ‘83) directly at the Memphis Grizzlies. If Utah’s tanking was worth half […]
It was Fan Appreciation Night in Salt Lake and boy, did the home team give the fans something to appreciate, as the Jazz beat down the shorthanded Grizzlies by 46. Two Jazz bench players recorded triple doubles, a feat unparalleled in living memory. Kennedy Chandler – A- Kennedy’s speed is reminiscent of Isaiah Collier, but […]
I apologize first of all to you, reader, to have to strengthen your mental fortitude to have the mental capacity to withstand the horrors you will certainly witness tonight. These teams have no business facing each other in a late April matchup — they’d probably prefer a 50-point blowout loss against the top teams in […]

It’s been three weeks since the Nuggets last played the Grizzlies—a game that nearly broke me. After a weird winter storm turned… The post Preview: Surging Nuggets look to avoid a repeat loss to tanking Grizzlies appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
The Cleveland Cavaliers took care of business as they dispatched the Memphis Grizzlies 142-126. This felt like a preseason game. The Cavs chose to give nearly all of their regular rotation players who played the night before against the Indiana Pacers the night off. They were without Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Thomas Bryant, and Max […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won three straight games. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. NOTE: I retroactively took half a grade away from everyone tonight for the three-point defense. That’s what happens when your opponent matches the NBA record for threes made. Jarrett Allen 13 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, […]
Evan Mobley scored 24 points, Sam Merrill added 21, and the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled away from the Memphis Grizzlies 142-126 for their 50th win of the season. Jarrett Allen returned to the starting lineup after resting Sunday night against Indiana, scoring 13 points and blocking two shots. The Cavs’ bench did their part too, with […]
A shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Memphis Grizzlies on the second night of a back-to-back. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – Keon Ellis This was a fantastic 48 hours for Keon Ellis. He started the week by nailing 3-of-7 three-point attempts in Cleveland’s win over the Pacers. Then, he followed it up […]
For the second straight day, a skeleton-crew version of the Cleveland Cavaliers is taking on a more skeleton crew version of the Memphis Grizzlies. Cleveland will be without Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, and Max Strus. They will, however, have Sam Merrill, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley. Share your thoughts as the game unfolds. If you […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to pick up their second win in as many nights as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies on the tail end of a back-to-back. Like Sunday evening, the Cavs are resting several players with the playoffs fast approaching and their position mostly locked up. The Cavaliers are coming into this […]
It got interesting at times, but the Milwaukee Bucks mostly dominated the tanktastic Memphis Grizzlies, 131-115. As Deolu put it in his rapid recap, this was the Bucks’ their first win against Memphis since January 2022, which is crazy to think about. Read our full summary of the game here and catch a six-minute audio […]
Former Portland Trail Blazers and current Memphis Grizzlies wing Rayan Rupert got a triple double with 33 points, 10 boards, 10 dimes, and 4 steals as the Grizzlies lost to the Milwaukee Bucks earlier today 131-115. In a “I really hope we didn’t screw this one up” moment for Portland, Rupert – who was waived […]
The Bucks closed out their two-game home stretch on Easter with a 131-115 win over the Memphis Grizzlies to improve to 31-47. Ryan Rollins, returning from a hip strain, contributed 24 points to the Bucks’ victory, while Rayan Rupert led the Grizzlies with 33. NBA.com Box Score Game Recap The Grizzlies, missing an alarming number […]
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James made headlines for signaling out Memphis and Milwaukee as places he doesn’t enjoy playing when he was on a golf YouTube video with Bob Does Sports. Those comments — particularly saying he doesn’t enjoy playing in Memphis — made people angry. “A random f***** Tuesday in Milwaukee,” James said […]
Unlike the last two games, today’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies offers the Milwaukee Bucks another test of their tanking mettle (metal?). Memphis took the first game back in December. Where We’re At Pretty slow week for the Bucks, all things considered. Three games of basketball that shook out as expected, with a win against […]
There are a lot of different types of must-win games. Playoff games. Rivalries. Tie-breakers. Ring nights. Banner nights. Revenge games. But then there’s a must-win in the sense that your opponent is 25-51 on the season, actively tanking, and comprised of guys who may not even be in the league next year. Tonight was the […]
Last night in Houston, the Knicks (49*-28) lost their third straight game, all on the road. It was possibly the least entertaining game we’ve watched all season, and New York played out of sync all night. Tonight, in the second of a back-to-back, they had a prime opportunity to regain their confidence against a Grizzlies […]
Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke was arrested at 1:03 p.m. PT on Wednesday, April 1, and booked in Cross County, Arkansas, according to The Commercial Appeal’s Damichael Cole and Lucas Finton. He was held on a Civil Investigative Demand with the Cross County Sheriff’s Department, but has since been released and bonded out of jail. […]
The Knicks (48*-28) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (25-50) tonight at FedExForum. New York hopes to end a three-game road slide and protect their third seed in the East. Meanwhile, the Grizz struggle to field a team with all the injuries they have suffered this season. As lopsided battles go, this one couldn’t be more so. […]
Tonight, the Knicks (48*-28) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (25-50) at FedExForum. New York sits third in the Eastern Conference and has already clinched a playoff berth, but the Cavs are nipping at New York’s heels, so every win matters as the Knicks try to solidify their positioning. Memphis, meanwhile, owns one of the worst records […]
If the Knicks don’t fix their excrement, New York is about to become first-round fodder. Adding insult to injury, the loss to Houston came on the first game of a back-to-back affair that has the Grizzlies on the schedule today. Imagine losing another one to the Teddy Bears. Sheesh… Mike Brown On starting games slowly: […]
