Herrington: Tony Allen took over and reminded Memphis why it loves him Chris Herrington: “On and off the court, Allen turned being an NBA player into a kind of lunatic performance art, and in Memphis, he found a deeply appreciative audience.”

Incredible write up of last night’s jersey retirement. I only wish Herrington had included the quote ‘milk that horse’ when Tony talked about riding the hot hand. Just…so Tony, like last night’s ceremony.

Big night for M town! Congrats to Penny @Iam1Cent on his first league championship.

Congrats to @JaMorant and @DBane0625 on leading the Grizzlies to a much needed victory.

Herrington: As playoffs approach, Grizzlies' two-track season approaches one big test The NBA’s 82-game regular season comes with two primary goals: Qualify and position yourself for the playoffs and prepare yourself to compete when you’re there.

@chrisherrington.bsky.social echoes many of my own thoughts here. Tighter playoff rotations are coming, but Jenkins will face pressure to show he can win at the next level. A first round exit is the worst outcome for this team at this point.

Trip was unguardable tonite. Amazing play on both ends of the floor. Just too many mistakes for the Grizzlies in this one.

When is the last time Grizz lost back to back home games?

Ja found what he needed and led the team to victory. As Jenkins said, after another night like that, to battle as Ja did down the stretch and make huge plays? That is the definition of resiliency.

Not trying to be a hater. Just observing.

When Ja was not on the court, the team ignited and went on a 10-0 run with pure good energy.

The post World War II western consensus ended today, and this is a very dangerous new reality for our nation and world.

Whatever your feelings about politics, as a professional historian of the United States I am here to tell you I did not believe I would ever see a day when a sitting US president would back an avowed Soviet president over NATO allies at the United Nations.

Turning off the Grizzlies game.

The Ja thing is concerning. He is making the team worse during his minutes. I hope he can get it sorted out.

Excited to hear you on the call! Thanks for all your posts, especially about Black history.

Malcolm X was killed 60 years ago today. His teachings and perspectives remain relevant and applicable today. He will always be an important figure in American history.
