Memphis Hardwood Anthony Siracusa

Marvin and Anthony explore the way the national media has covered Ja Morant's absence from the team, plus we FINALLY get to a little basketball as well. The Grizzlies are playing great right now and we begin to scratch the surface on why that's the case. Join us for this short episode of Memphis Hardwood as we begin to ramp up our frequency of podcasts in anticipation of the postseason! 

It's tough times in Grizz Nation at the moment. Marvin and Anthony talk about why the Ja Morant news is bigger than Ja, dive into the implications of BC's injury, and find the silver lining for the Grizzlies as they embark on their last 18 games. We keep it positive and see a path forward for this team, but that path will require them to dig deep. All this and more on a new Memphis Hardwood.

The Grizzlies are riding a two game winning streak, beating the best team in the West on Saturday and beating the team with the most star power in the league last night.  Ja Morant had a franchise record 28 points in the third quarter, but he didn't earn these victories alone. Xavier Tillman, Sr. has been huge. Santi Aldama continues to impress. And the Block Panther is doing Block Panther things. Plus, Luke Kennard is shooting 53% as a Grizzly! Anthony and Marvin break down this recent streak of great play and get you set for the stretch run. It's all yours on a new Memphis Hardwood! 

The Grizzlies take the court for the first time post all star break this evening against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. What are our expectations for this team as they prepare for these final 25 games of the season? Where do they need to improve as they get ready for the playoff push? Marvin and Anthony break it all down on an all new Memphis Hardwood.

As fans, we can spend a lot of time on the roller coaster of wins and losses. Luckily for us as Grizzlies fans, this has not really been the case over the last few years. There has been consistent winning and exceeding expectations. But with the Grizzlies losing 9 of their last 12 games, and sinking closer to the 3 seed than the 1 seed, the roller coaster has sent us on some dips and dives. After last week's optimism Anthony suggests it may be time for some urgency among the Grizzlies. Marvin and Anthony talk through the lack of urgency and, as ever, Marvin keeps us focused on the positives as we get ready for the post-all star break push. All this and more on a new Memphis Hardwood!

The second best defense in the league showed up last night as the Grizzlies held the Chicago Bulls to 89 points - perhaps brining an end to this extended losing skid which has seen the Grizzlies drop 8 of the last 9 before last night. 

Marvin and Anthony break it all down, from Dillon Brooks' role on this team to JJJ's all star appearance to Santi's role in the halfcourt and more. It's all yours on a new Memphis Hardwood!
