Thje Grizzlies beat the Jazz for the second time this season and moved to 4-0 on Monday night.

Despite reigning Western Conference player of the week Ty Jerome and Rookie of the Year favorite Cam Boozer struggling to make shots, the supporting cast made enough plays down the stretch to pull off the ragged victory.

This episode discusses the victory, including the tremendous play of Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, and Cam...

The Grizzlies defeated the Warriors and Kings on the road to extend to a 3-0 start to the season, and Ty Jerome is the leading scorer in the NBA. This hot start to the year from Jerome has to some degree overshadowed the performance of Cam Boozer, who was able to secure double-doubles in each of the two road wins.

This episode discusses the perfect start, Ty Jerome's heater, the precocious play of Cam Boozer, the impact of Z...

Fueled by a career high 45 points from Ty Jerome and a dominant rebounding performance, the Grizzlies hammered the Jazz in the first game of the season. Cam Boozer overcame a slow shooting night to post a historic plus-minus and the Grizzlies built on many of the positives of the preseason to come away with a strong showing and start the year with a victory.

This episode discusses every aspect of the win.

The Grizzlies finalized their opening night roster by cutting Walter Clayton Jr and Micah Peavy. Clayton, the 18th pick in the 2025 draft, was unable to overcome the crowded backcourt which made him expendable. Peavy was picked 40th last season, but did not play in the preseason after being acquired from the Pelicans in the summer.

This episode discusses these cuts, the final roster and depth chart, and looks ahead to the op...

The Grizzlies wrapped up their preseason with a home win over the Hornets, where we again got extended looks at Cam Boozer, Zach Edey and Ty Jerome. Plus, there was an unexpected starting lineup shift as Kris Murray got a chance to play with the starters.

Perhaps this was a key information gathering opportunity for the team, as they have until 4pm today to decide which two players they get rid of as they cut down to 15 contr...

The Grizzlies were able to beat the Chicago Bulls in their thrid preseason game, which was the second straight game that Memphis was able to deploy their fully-healthy starting lineup, While Zach Edey's involvement and availability is a big story, the bigger story might be just how elite rookie Cam Boozer and Ty Jerome have looked.

Is three games enough to consider Cam Boozer the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year? And is la...

The Grizzlies debuted their healthy starting lineup in the second preseason game, with Zach Edey returning to the court for the first time since surgery in March. They may have come up just short against the Magic and Desmond Bane, but the debut of Edey and the continued positive display from Cam Boozer made this another encouraging game.

The update from Grizzlies' media day was that Zach Edey is a full-go (mostly) and there were no other major injuries to report, which is a pleasant change from previous years. That means, however, that training camp in Nashville will be a fierce competition as the team must cut several guaranteed deals to get down to 15 by opening night. 

But the players are excited and ready for the opportunity, as they told the media ...

The Grizzlies picked up a 2nd round pick and a 2nd round pick swap from the New Pelicans in exchange for taking on the contracts of Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy. To match the salary, the Grizzlies included Taj Gibson and AJ Johnson, two players who were unlikely to make their opening night roster.

This move clears the way for the Pelicans to complete their signing of Bennedict Mathurin, and provides the Grizzlies some draf...

The Grizzlies may have a relatively deep squad, but are considered to have very little top end NBA talent. They will be depending a lot on Cam Boozer, Cedric Coward and Zach Edey to lead the way. 

Is one of those frontcourt players most likely to lead the team in scoring this season? Or could it be veterans Ty Jerome or Jerami Grant? Or perhaps someone else?

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
