00:00
The late game will be the Grizzlies and the Mavericks on Beale Street.
00:05
Let's check in with, we haven't had this guy, heard from this guy on the show before.
00:09
This is Grizzlies interim head coach, Tomas Isalo.
00:14
Now, he is not to be confused with a bad guy in a late 80s, early 90s Bruce Willis action movie.
00:21
But here's Isalo, who is the interim head coach, talking about Ja Morant's status for tonight.
00:28
I said he's playing tomorrow. Did he practice today at all?
00:32
No, no, he did not practice today and his game time decision and everybody obviously hopes that he's able to go.
00:41
That is your boy, Isalo, who's got the look.
00:44
He could have been one of those guys at the tower over there and die hard when Bruce Willis was trying to stop.
00:51
I'll tell you what, Ja's ankle is an issue.
00:55
Because I think he's going to play at 70 or 80 percent, which is not Ja at 100.
01:02
Let's get real here.
01:04
I think this game tonight is really in the hands of Bain and Jaron Jackson Jr.
01:10
And I think that Edie's going to have to have a double-double.
01:13
They're going to all have to get involved.
01:15
I think Ja will still get 20.
01:17
Now, if that guy goes off for 35-40 tonight, I will keel over.
01:21
Because I saw him the other night, he could barely run.
01:25
Okay, so I'm sure he's better, you know, two days later.
01:30
But how much better?
01:31
I mean, there is nothing worse than rolling Massimino ankles.
01:35
There's nothing worse than rolling your ankle.
01:37
It just never, it doesn't get better in two days.
01:40
I don't care how much ice you got in the ice tray.
01:42
Doesn't matter.
01:45
Now, this is like I was saying to you earlier.
01:47
Six and a half yesterday.
01:48
I've seen some places at five and a half today.
01:51
So, do your shopping.
01:52
I see a flat six at another spot.
01:54
So, anywhere from five and a half to six and a half right now with the Mavs.
01:58
Two twenty-one and a half the total.
02:01
Taking the points with the Mavs tonight.
02:03
Yeah, I think they're going to win outright.
02:04
And, you know, Nico Harrison's going to get the last laugh.
02:07
Everyone, including me, has been bashing him non-stop for trading Luka Doncic.
02:12
He'll never live that down.
02:14
But I could see him haunting me and winning this series and going into the playoffs.
02:20
And if you're in, then you could become a problem over seven games.
02:25
And they do have players.
02:27
They do have size and bangability.
02:29
They are big.
02:30
And they are very physical.
02:32
And, in fact, you know, I'll give you this.
02:35
I think tonight, that game tonight, in my view, will be violent.
02:40
Because I think Memphis is every bit as tough as they are.
02:43
They're both really physical, tough teams.
02:46
And I think it's going to be a violent game with a lot of whistles.
