LeBron comes back will hurt the Lakers, they better off without him

[Who]

Grizzlies coach (Tuomas Iisalo) getting some criticism for his offense. People are wondering why JJJ's shot attempts and scoring are down. Blaming Iisalo for not getting him the ball enough. Ja Morant blames a lack of spacing in the offense for JJJ's decline in shot attempts.

Grizzlies have 3 wins 6 losses. They rank 23rd in def eff and 26th in off eff.

Neither KCP or Jaylen Wells are providing enough shooting to space the floor for their stars Morant & JJJ to do their thing. No Z Edey or B Clarke yet so Jock Londale is starting. A reluctant shooter. Morant is a poor shooter himself. So JJJ is the only trustyworthy shooter in their starting lineup at this point.

Iisalo may face a mutiny in the near future. With both of their stars performing poorly, results are bad, and Iisalo also criticizing inconsistent effort. Plus Iisalo has a direct style of communication which may be wearing thin.

Tony Allen arrested, faces 2 charges of drug possession

   

Now that?s truly depressing.  Sorry to hear it.

2000s Celtics have had quite the run with the law.   Tony, Telfair, Big Baby, Delonte, Rondo, Pierce...

Some details

"During the contact, a deputy detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle, leading him to direct both individuals to exit the car," the report said.

Deputies searched Allen and found a package of marijuana on him. The officers also found various drug paraphernalia containing marijuana, which Hatton confessed was his.

A search of the vehicle revealed a cigarette box in Allen's passenger seat with a white powdery substance that later tested positive for cocaine.

Allen and Hatton are both charged with possession of meth or cocaine less than 2 grams and possession of marijuana less than 4 ounces.

Hatton faces additional charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and improper lane change.

This is not the first time Allen has been on the wrong side of the law. In 2023, a judge sentenced him to community service and supervised probation after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud.

He was one of 18 NBA players charged in the case.

I saw a report there the other day that Bassy (Sebastian Telfair) is in the same prison as Puff Daddy. Apparently, they are friends. A prison reunion.
