 what's the word y'all welcome back please ignore my hair some of y'all noticed that first day of getting a retwist your hair is crispy but a little bit too crispy that's the state I am right now now we about to do something rare I try my best to um diversify and just just talk about different things from day to day but the last time we talked we talked about clay day then we talked about the grizzly so I gotta circle back and talk about the grizzly because well they're on the 10 game win streak and they just beat the Warriors and this team is so electric and so so very fun I want to look at all the wins they got on the season and listen to the quality wins they got they beat the Warriors twice I'm pretty sure they're the only team in the league they can say that I saw stat that said coming into this game John Morant was four and four against the Warriors in his short NBA career now he's five and four against the Warriors so he's got two wins against the Warriors this season they beat the Nets the Sons the Heat in the Jazz those are six of the most elite teams in the entire NBA and the Grizzlies have wins on them and now they got a lot of people tweeting asking are the Grizzlies the real deal will you put the Grizzlies in title contender I don't really know but a couple days ago somebody asked me on Twitter um or I guess on these videos Kenny who was your favorite young court to watch in the NBA and the first name that came to mind was was the Cavs and I stuck by that you know what I'm saying because in my mind the Grizzlies didn't even come they didn't come to mind because they seem so much older than what they are John Morant's rookie season they were half game away from making a playoffs and it basically came down to the final day of the NBA they needed to win they gotta win the Trebleys needs to lose with the Trebleys one so boom they were in the outside looking in then the sophomore season they ended up um in the play in they end up winning the play in tournament they go against the Jazz in the first round and take game one so in my mind they were older than what they are so I looked at today's game and you know I'm already seeing people on Twitter say ah it's like it's okay win but Draymond Green wasn't there yeah yeah listen bro we're in 2022 in a pandemic everybody at all 30 teams are missing players if we were adding asterisks by every win this season there's nothing to talk about in the NBA so sure Draymond Green was out but Stephen Adams was out it doesn't matter let's just talk about the wins at face value okay so I went to go look at their rotation today and there was only one player that was playing today that is older than I am I am 25 years old Cal Anderson was the only guy that got PT today for the Grizzlies that is older than I am so if I did my math right which I probably did because I have dyslexia numbers of heart uh the average age of their rotation tonight was 23 and a half and I was like you know what how does that compare to the the entire NBA their roster right now is tied for the second youngest roster in the entire NBA and like I said they're on a 10 game win streak beating the Warriors two times the Warriors early in the season remember people were talking about could they beat their own record of 73 and 9 they have 10 losses on the year two of those it's a drama red and the myth is Grizzlies the second youngest team in the entire NBA they are tied at least when it comes to the game backstandings with the Utah Jazz who are in a three game went losing streak because Rudy Gaubert is a healthy state of protocol and they can't stop anybody they're giving up 120 plus points per game with Rudy Gaubert being out now and one of those losses against the Detroit Pistons and when Rudy Gaubert plays they only give up like 103 yeah yeah that's propaganda for Rudy Gaubert you know he does that on this channel it's here but I just want to talk about the Grizzlies because they have done their rebuilds it was so I mean they're still in the rebuild phase I said that their second youngest team in the NBA but they were doing their rebuilds so fast and so nice it should be the model for the smaller market teams now one thing you cannot control is whether or not you're lucky and the Memphis Grizzlies became very very lucky the year that they got JAMA rent in the 2019 NBA draft y'all know when I do these Rambo videos I very rarely have notes but I have notes today y'all I literally have notes so you know I'm invested in this so the 2019 the NBA decided to flatten the lottery odds meaning that they were trying to combat tanking before then if you were the worst team in the NBA record wise you had a 25% chance to get the first overall pick the NBA was like wow we got too many teams trying to bottom out the Charlotte Hornets tried to bottom out and got 25% chance to get Anthony Davis ended up Michael Carter Williams the 76ers during a process was bottom out every single season so the NBA was like ah we can't have that nobody's watching those teams so let's let's flatten the odds so now I think it's like the top three or the bottom three teams have close to equal odds to get the first overall pick so in the 2019 NBA draft the Memphis Grizzlies headed only a 6.3 chance to jump up into the oh to get the second overall pick and they got that now again there's a ton of luck in getting JAMA RENT on your team actually Zion and JAMA RENT both were like super lucky picks you know the Pelicans weren't the worst team in the league the year that they got uh uh well Anthony Davis was there but they they got Zion so that was like hmm could that have been rigged the NBA trying to convince people not to tank anymore by giving the first and second pick the teams that weren't tanking I don't know conspiracy Kenny is here but no uh 6.3 percent chance to get the second overall pick they did that and now it's about hmm what do we do now we drafted this dude out of a mid-major who looked really good in the tourney he was dominating what do we do now to build the perfect team around here and they did some pretty good things I mean even before JAMA RENT got there they they gave um they told the world like hey if you come to Memphis and you have a good career for us we're gonna set you up man they traded Marcus all the way to the Toronto Raptors and boom he won a championship was it the best deal for them maybe it was maybe it wasn't but they sent him to a team where he can get the best out of himself and that was getting the championship and then after they ended up with JAMA RENT they sent there one of their other best guys in franchise history Mike Holly to another team to compete for a championship and he's still doing that but he's on a better team he's on a better team I mean right now they're tied in the game's back column is he on a better team I don't really know but they've done that and then they've done things around the edges the Jaren Jackson Jr pick has been great and I'm in love with the way Jaren Jackson Jr has played during this streak especially when Stephen Adams is out him as the five has looked amazing I'm especially doing this him at the five has looked so good and I think I talked about this in the last one that they were they've been afraid to let Jaren Jackson Jr run the five exclusively because of the way they bang at the five position can we trust him not to foul out of games he's been so very good at the five this season it's been so impressive because that was the development I've been waiting on I mean I guess he was drafted in just 2018 but I've been waiting on that because him as a stretch five would open up the game so much more for the team and for Jamarant if they had shooters all around and right now they got that um the some of the other very underrated trades they've done since getting Jamarant they got the Anthony Melton for Javon Carter that is a W and the biggest one is trading for Desmond Bain 30th overall pick huge I mean yes you can't really control whether or not you're a lucky team but these smaller markets need to really be looking at what the Memphis Drizzlies have done and looking at that as a little blueprint little blueprint you gotta make the right trades and the right sign it's like the Cal Anderson signing they offered him a contract there's a little bit too rich for the Spurs blood but was good enough of a team friendly contract for them Tyus Jones who was one of the biggest X factors today very good contract to get for him they've made the right moves on the edges and when you already have the inside which is Jamarant and Jeron Jackson Jr everything else is falling into place so are they a contender right now I don't have the answer to that question we won't know but at the end of the day they're the most electric team to watch the NBA right now Jamarant is must-see TV and the Memphis Grizzlies are fun even when they were really good we're talking Gritten Grind era I don't know of many kids that Gritten Grind was like when I was high school right was that high school for me anyway I don't know kids that was walking around in Grizzlies jerseys bro and I went to a suburban high school dog's kids was wearing NBA jerseys daily bros they they call y'all some of y'all are collecting NBA jerseys nobody was rocking the Mike Connelly Mark Gasol Zebo Tony yeah well Tony Allen may have got some love in Chicago um but I know people are walking around in Jamarant jerseys I went to a Bulls Pacers game December 26th and a Jamarant jersey was in the crowd what the hell are you wearing that's how electric the bros impacted the whole Midwest is Memphis Midwest I'm gonna he is he's impacting the whole Midwest they got people in Chicago rocking the jersey so it's just super fun um will this streak last forever is the next question possibly possibly all right let's talk about some of the other games of the day because though this was a big day for the Memphis Grizzlies there are a lot of good games today man starting off with the first game of the day the Thunder against the Wizards this game where there was no Bradley Beal because I guess he's back in Hilt the Safety Protocol which is very weird I don't I'm not a virus person the medicine person scientist but he had entered Hilt the Safety Protocol he had got out got his shot and then went back in all within like two weeks I don't that's gotta be like some of the rarest thing maybe it's not I don't really know but he's not there so it's like okay this opens the game up for somebody else and it's been cool's cool's has been on a extreme hot streak right now and I made a tweet about Kuzma today and people thought it's misinterpreted it but it's twitter I guess you can't really get the full grasp if you had to explain every tweet though I will not be on twitter if you had to use your 150 characters to really flesh listen I said something along the lines of like every time Kuzma shoots the ball I expect it to miss but it goes in I can understand how you can interpret that a damn Kenny a hater but no it's the exact opposite I'm admiring his tough shot making there's a place specifically in this fourth quarter where he did like a spin move and like the the elbow and instead of like doing a full form jump shot he just like floated it on a spin move and it like Cassie and I'm like bro that was a super tough shot and that was the reason why I made my tweet so it was like me admiring his tough shot making um but I will say he kind of sold me today because I took the overall prize picks on his rebounds because he's been a rebound machine in all season but he was like no I just want to exclusively score um and he he did they got they got a big time win I guess there was a fight in the locker row between KCP and Montrez Harold um I wonder how that stuff works like who okay so the story goes um Montrez and Catevis cargo pope got into it and then they before anybody could get into the locker room it was basically over they they both threw like punches and they both missed if it was just them two I don't know how you both throw punches and miss you don't really want to hit the guy um and my my question with stuff like this comes out is who is the snitch that called Shums in Chicago or all the sources like hey you want to know some crazy I know we won today but KCP and trans bro them bros they was throwing punches and who is who is the guy that's letting all this information get out because it happened it happens all across the league or maybe it doesn't maybe this happens way more often than we think but it only seeps out every once in a while I mean it's been happening I mean that's like two big locker room altercations so far this season but maybe there's been more we don't even know about either way a win for the watch the wizards um I know it was against a okc team that's struggling um but still you got to count your wins where you can get them shaggers alexander gets out of that slump he had been in and that's always a good thing I didn't like on the last possession they were down by four with like seven eight seconds and instead of trying to get something quick or shoot a three they wasted a timeout and then shot a three at the buzzer so even if he went in there was no next game we could talk about is the suns versus the wraps I forgot that the suns are still below 10 losses the only team that hasn't hit double-digit losses that's kind of wild when you really think about it they went to skosia bank arena and they got a win against the raptors but hey scotty bars simply look we can add an asterisk by every single guy I promise you we could add an asterisk by every single game um but the suns deal what they had to do Chris Paul late in the game what do you think if he had a big touchdown what do you think that shot came from yep the mid-range elbow he does that um the most fun thing about this or funny thing about this is Devin Booker getting mad at their the mascot when he's used to shooting free throws in front of 20,000 fans he's a skosia bank arena in Canada where there's no fans but he got upset with the one bystander who happened to be doing stuff it's a funny thing uh pascal shakam had a good game but I mentioned in the last episode pascal shakam is in his best or in his bag the most when he can hit his threes and today he did not hit his threes in the end of blues in this game um next game the bulls when a large one a big margin of victory against the pistons don't have much to say I'm glad they just took care of business because we have bigger games later this um this week the Warriors and the Nets and though this was a great defensive game today against a bad team I'm a little bit worried about those games bulls fans I'm keeping a buck with you our defense has not looked great I think they showed it on the broadcast in this nine game streak that we just was on that was broken up by the um Dallas Mavericks the other day the bulls hit the 22nd defense in the league that's not good they had the number one offense but the 22nd even says not good fellas let's hopefully we clamp up against the Warriors and the the Brooklyn Nets because we we want to see those wins um and then the next game tiny dog came through he had this is this is the pelicans almost blowing a game and then need a Brandon Ingram to get them out of that because I had turned this game off because they were up at like six or seven like a minute ago and I know it's the NBA anything to happen but I wasn't really invested in the first place and then um the it got started a little bit closer and closer at one point it was like a one point I'm like bro I should tune back in I guess Anthony Edwards went overdrive um and tiny dog I had turned it off he had hit a uh and one three and I was like you know what that's enough that's the dagger that's all he needed and one three he came back hit another three and they hit the game winners were shout out to Brandon Ingram with a 33 nine the four Brandon Ingram is for the most part of very emotionless person so when he hits a game winner and he shows emotion I'm super excited for him um I know the pelicans you know a good win for them because they're telling the world that they're still going for a playing spot because they believe Zion can come back and like Zion is about as far away from New World as you could be right now they said bro is training up in what Portland that's about as far as you could get from New Orleans without leaving the country is he gonna come back to see is that I don't even know you know what with the grizzies playing so well they got people on Twitter talking about Zion right now because now when people are redrafting that draft 2019 would you take jaw right now over Zion I think 90% 97% of people probably say yeah we're taking jaw not much injury history in his um in his bag right now when Zion kind of a lot kind of a lot and then the last game of the day the reason why I'm recording this at 145 is because I stayed up to watch the Clippers versus the Nuggets why did I torture myself and this game where I think the the Clippers let me go ahead they had like 30 points in the first half um they had a comeback though so I'm glad I did stay up there was no real takeaways they had 28 points at halftime the Clippers did and they won the game they had 28 points at halftime and they won the game Reggie Jackson it's a big time shot the blood show showed up in the fourth quarter and I heard one of my favorite calls of this season um it was a mere coffee hit a shot at the top of the key and whoever's calling the calls I'm sorry I don't know every commentator in the league's name they said um caffeine supremacy or some supreme caffeine supreme caffeine because his name is coffee and people are saying it on my um under my tweet that I guess they have a bunch of coffee puns when a mere coffee does something great so I got to start listening to the Clippers broadcast or watching Clippers more because I mentioned last episode they be having either a super late night game or the first game of the day at noon and then you know what they'll open my eyes a little bit because somebody was in the conversation say Kenny um the game is not for you it's for the european fans you're absolutely right but why are we subjecting the european fans to exclusively clippers games exclusively the clippers games we just try to turn them I don't really know um let me know what you think in the conversation today slay the games uh the jama ran the Memphis Grizzlies I just got an update and I hope it's nothing bad it was from shams or something and I think I saw the name jama rant so I'm gonna I'm gonna improvise real quick before I look this up because what if they said something bad I don't really know I don't I don't want to publish this video without knowing nope the last tweet from shams had to do with the fight between kcp so if that wasn't him it had to be woe which woe gsp and says jama ran has felt like the grizzlies haven't been given their due respect in the past I okay yeah and I like that they hate eggy I love it I love that the city don't like eggy that's a plus for me honestly not saying that I don't like eggy actually I do like eggy but the fact that they found a common enemy in andrew goudala out of all people I respect
