Ziaire Williams making an early three and getting to the rim like that is massive. If Memphis wants to keep this close they need the best version of Williams. – 9:22 PM

David Locke @DLocke09
According to the numbers the Ja Morant/ Stephen Adams pick and roll defensive combo is one of the worst in the NBA this year. Jazz are going right at it with Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert one of the best combos in the NBA – 9:18 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
At least the Grizzlies are competing better to this point. Memphis has to find ways to take advantage of Royce O’Neale on Jaren Jackson Jr. There has to be more of a focus on moving and driving Jaren toward/at the rim. – 9:18 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
7:16 remaining in the first quarter: the Jazz lead the Grizzlies 12-11….Memphis got off to a 9-4 start. The Jazz have been on an 8-2 run since – 9:17 PM
Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Ok now Desmond Bane! What a move! – 9:16 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
What a start for Bane. But again, Grizzlies going to need someone else to step up here. – 9:16 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Every time Steven Adams misses a shot at the rim an angel is forced to listen to an hour of Kids Bop versions of rap songs. – 9:15 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Memphis has 7 points. Desmond Bane has 7 points. Not to rub it in or anything. – 9:12 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
FEED DESMOND BANE YOU COWARDS – 9:11 PM
David Locke @DLocke09
Reminder if someone mentions the Grizzlies miss Dillon Brooks to guard Donovan Mitchell. Last year in the playoffs Donovan shot 15 of 25 and 7 of 13 from three while going to the line for 8 of 10 when guarded by Brooks – 9:09 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Steven Adams needs to have a Zoom call with the Thunder bigs about giving Josh Giddey easy rebounds when he’s close to a triple double. – 9:07 PM

Hi everyone, @JoeMullinax back with you for Grizzlies-Jazz. Utah is a double-digit favorite and boasts the best offensive rating in the NBA. Memphis is without two of their three best wing players.

Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
That’s it for Coach Jenkins, and that’s it for me. Let’s do another pregame poll.
The Memphis Grizzlies are currently 8-8 16 games in to the season. In what range will the Grizzlies be record-wise 32 games in to the season (after their December 20th game against OKC at home)? – 7:51 PM
Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Injury update from Coach Jenkins during pregame:
-Dillon Brooks is a game-time decision tonight vs Jazz
-De’Anthony Melton is trending in the right direction but will be out for a few games
-Sam Merrill will be out for a couple of weeks with ankle injury – 7:43 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Dillon Brooks remains a game-time decision, Sam Merrill will be out a couple weeks, De’Antony Melton will miss a few games, per Taylor Jenkins. – 7:40 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Dillon Brooks is a game-time decision for the Grizzlies against the Jazz tonight, per coach Taylor Jenkins. – 7:40 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Jenkins says that Morant is a tone setter and gives Ja credit for taking the resilience mantra upon his shoulders. He also mentions that Jaren Jackson Jr. is sticking to the gameplan and helping find ways to stay aggressive offensively. – 7:39 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Coach Jenkins is here. He says the team continues to grow compared to the last time they saw the Jazz in the playoffs. “…we’re far from a finished product…” He also says that the team in particular with players focuses more on habits than net rating data. – 7:35 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Hello all @JoeMullinax here with you for Grizzlies media pregame with Coach Jenkins. I’ll also be with you throughout the game, so get comfortable…real comfortable… – 7:27 PM

Here’s what needs to happen in light of Cal scorer’s screw-up during a double OT win over Southern Utah:
1. An explanation from the Pac 12.
2. A $10K fine or scheduling a game at Southern Utah next year — Cal’s choice.
3. One game suspension for officials who worked the game. – 6:50 PM

Kyle Whittingham was asked this morning about Dan Mullen’s firing at Florida.
Whittingham and Mullen were on staff together at Utah under Urban Meyer. Whittingham was DC, Mullen was QB coach.

Utah football players Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe both wore the number 22, and both lost their lives within this past year. In a couple of weeks, the Utes hope to hoist a Pac-12 Championship trophy in their honor. An unbelievable story of resilience and brotherhood ❤️ #22forever pic.twitter.com/Fo7HPpQ1PC3:31 PM
