If the game would have been called both ways, I'm pretty sure the outcome of that Pelicans game would've been different. Go Grizz.

Stop by and see us before heading to the Forum to cheer on the Grizz!

"...As we waited for our food, I read multiple reviews that were on the wall by our table and learned that the sauce recipe has kept this restaurant around for decades and through two owners so I was eager to pour some on my brisket!

The brisket came wet and when I asked, the server told me that the brisket is only served wet, which I thought was odd but one taste of the BBQ sauce and I was blown away. It was by far the best I've ever eaten!!

The beans were great, sweet and flavorful and the potato salad was really good, as well. We even bought some sauce to take home. Do not miss The BBQ Shop for great BBQ!"

Please read this post.

I’m tired of hearing “this coach can’t coach.” It’s time for Memphis to ReGrit and Recommit to the Memphis Grizzlies.

This front office went out and got Julius Thomas, one of the youngest coaches ever to lead a EuroLeague team, to work alongside Coach Iisalo. That’s hustle culture. That’s somebody building something. Give them a chance.

Every major city has a team. We don’t want to be a city that loses ours. Do this for the Grizz AND for the city.

Cut the negative talk. We can’t be our own worst enemy. Ask yourself what would make you feel better about Memphis, then go do it. Get involved. Join a board. Volunteer. Vote. Show up as a citizen in your own way. Let’s move Memphis forward together.

People are gunning for us and want to take what we have. Good. That means we’ve got something worth taking.

Congratulations to the Grizzlies on a big 123-103 win over Utah Wednesday night. That’s how you open a season.

And Ja Morant, we're not out on you. Different jersey, same Memphis love. Thank you for everything you did for this community and our kids. Get the support you need. We want you to succeed.
