Episode 071 - Memphis, Movies, and Media with Jonah Jordan


With Chris on vacation this week, Paul is joined by Jonah Jordan (of Grizzly Bear Blues and the University of Memphis’ Daily Helmsman) to discuss his history with the Memphis Grizzlies and their 2015-16 season outlook. Topics include Mike Conley’s future with the team and anxiety over Marc Gasol’s free agency experience, two-way players at the two-guard position, young Grizzlies, Skal Labissiere and the 2016 draft class, and a couple of NBA teams with rookie head coaches from the collegiate levels, in the Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder, before Jonah gives his bottom-5 teams next season and a bold prediction in the Western Conference playoff picture. They then discuss recent movies and the approaching Star Wars release, plus Narcos, BoJack Horseman, and Rick and Morty on television, and then get sidetracked by some Markieff Morris breaking news/tweets, Grantland fallout, and a breakdown of the Memphis media landscape.
