| 0:00.0 | It is time for more of our 15 and 60 mailbag, the 60. |
| 0:09.8 | It's but a bad joke at this point. |
| 0:11.6 | But we have so many good questions that we extended things out here. |
| 0:15.6 | Let's get going with the 12 and 14 Memphis Grizzlies, Danny. |
| 0:19.8 | 6 and 3 since the last 15 and 60. |
| 0:22.2 | Still negative net rating, negative 1.3, Cleaned glass net rating is 18th in the league. |
| 0:26.9 | 23rd on offense, 13th on defense, projected to finish 500, 41 and 41, which would be the |
| 0:32.5 | eighth seed in the Western Conference. |
| 0:35.2 | And ESPN's BPI gives them a 57% chance of making the playoffs. |
| 0:40.5 | Yeah, a bunch of Zach Edy questions as well. |
| 0:42.5 | We talked some about him yesterday, but I think you've watched a little more gris than I have over the last couple of weeks, particularly since Eadie is kind of a Danny's guy at this point, it would seem. |
| 0:53.8 | So the two questions, |
| 0:55.9 | the impact that he's had overall, surprised that he hasn't been discussed that much. And then |
| 1:03.0 | another one says, what do you take away from the win since Edy came back? Because they're still |
| 1:07.5 | all against sub 500 teams. What's real? What projects are beyond this season? |
| 1:12.4 | I have generally liked what I've seen from EDI this year. |
| 1:16.3 | I think that the ridiculous plus minuses overstated a little bit, |
| 1:20.6 | but I also think that EDI makes the Grizzlies a significantly more competent team. |
| 1:25.4 | I think back a little bit to the game that you and I did for the NBA strategy stream, where Edie went out in that game with what we ended up being migraines, and they looked a lot less competent to me after they had him on the floor. So sometimes it's the play that he brings, which is true, and also the absence of that play from the other guys, Joc Landau and everybody else. And so, yeah, I don't think the Grizzlies are a plus 20 team when Zach Eadie's on the 4th. |
| 1:46.8 | That is their current and longstanding, because Edie's going to be out unfortunately for a while. So the screen setting is huge for them offensively. And he's, I think he's grown as a finisher. I think he's not, you know, it's not worlds different than what he was, but I think he has gotten more aggressive, which is very, very welcome. And then defensively, he is a gigantic human being. He executes what they want to do. And so part of what Memphis's success has been with E on the fourth year is three-point shooting line. But the other stuff is |
| 2:19.1 | genuinely positive. So going back to Rudy Gobero, low, those many years, what I kind of |
| 2:25.3 | talked about is the big, the hallmarks for a capable rim-protecting big. You're looking for |
