I understand Dillon Brooks is slumping offensively, but no one works harder on this Grizzlies team than him. His passion is unmistakable and I'm rooting for him to get back his offensive game.

My guy
@ChrisVernonShow
had a great take today:
@memgrizz
win 51 games, but Jaren is being dissed by national media for DPOY, no mention of Jenkins for COTY, quite possibly no Grizz on All NBA team. So, how did they do it? Remarkable season, but outside of Memphis, not much love.

Grizz fans will love Xavier Tillman. His first media availability showed how grounded, thoughtful and detailed oriented he is. Really looking forward to seeing him on the court.

Just to answer the question I've been getting all morning: Because Game 1 is on ABC, there will be no local telecast. We will see you for Game 2. Please do us this favor: show up and show out on Sunday (and other home games).

Now that the trade is official ... you won't find a better guy than Xavier Tillman. Big man with a big heart and gave the Grizzlies max effort every time he stepped on the court.
Money quote from this season: "I lock sh*t up." He thoroughly enjoys playing defense.

How psyched were the Grizz after last night’s epic comeback? Kyle Anderson came to our broadcast position and slapped us five so hard, nearly dislocated my shoulder. Twice. Minor exaggeration, but you get the idea.

I used to vote for the NBA awards until a policy change removed team broadcasters from the panel. When I did vote, never once did I think of voting for someone based on their television appearances and the like. I voted based on on-court production, period.

For those asking: games on TNT are exclusive until a team has more than six TNT appearances. Once a team passes that threshold, local telecaster can go side by side. The LAL game pushed the Grizzlies over the limit. That's why we can/will do that game on

One last note: hardest part of the night was driving home on 240. It was like a reboot of Mad Max -- high speed driving, swerving, lane changes, tailgating. Wish there was some law enforcement out there before someone gets killed.
