Chris Herrington

Welcome back to another edition of the Daily Memphians Memphis Grizzlies podcast.

This is Drew Hill, joined as always by Chris Herrington.

What a fun start to the season for the Memphis Grizzlies, who are 3-0 for the first time since 2017.

Just so many things for us to get into this week, Chris.

Tip-off tonight, 7:00, inside FedExForum.

Hey, if you wanna get really pumped up, did you see Chris Herrington's piece at DailyMemphian.com?

I did not.

Okay.

But Chris Wherrington, uh, Herrington, he put a bunch of words together over at DailyMemphian.com about tonight leading into the 26th season, Grizzlies in Memphis, Cameron Boozer's first game.

I'll read you just a, a, a few of the words, and, uh, we'll get fired up together.

Here's what Chris Herrington wrote, DailyMemphian.com. "The Memphis Grizzlies' season, which opens in full form Wednesday night against old pal Jaren Jackson Jr. and his Utah Jazz, will be a different kind of experience.

Rather than playing wait and see with a star player, Ja Morant, whose body and mind aligned sparingly in recent seasons, it will be about getting to know a new would-be star, the preposterous- preposterously precocious teenager Cameron Boozer, who's arrived with a chiseled body, a quick mind, and ready-made facility with nearly every aspect of the sport.

This is Drew Hill.

with Chris Herrington across from me, still in Memphis.

We are preparing for the start of a Grizzlies season.

We're recording this on a Tuesday morning.

We'll do it during a segment we call Five More Things You Need to Know.

Then after that, around 1110, The Daily Memphian's Chris Herrington is going to pop in studio.

He's going to sit right there, talk Grizzlies with him.

Then we'll eventually do GP's carryout and call it a day.

Let's get some more NFL notes out of you.

Number three.

Beyond what we've already talked about and what Michael Eads has already said, what else do I need to know about the NFL? And keep in mind, Chris Herrington will be here in ten minutes.

Yeah, you guys covered my two big disappointments, which are the Rams and the Cowboys, so we don't need to rehash that.

[upbeat music] Welcome back to another edition of the Daily Memphian's Memphis Grizzlies podcast.

This is your host, Drew Hill, joined as always by Chris Herrington.

We have a lot to get into this week.

We're gonna make our NBA predictions for the season.

This is always Chris Herrington's favorite podcast.

He was just telling me how much he loves predictions-

Yes

Zach Edey has been playing.

It talked about his situation a lot more with Chris Herrington over the weekend.

But Isaiah Stewart's gonna be out two weeks with a left ankle sprain that he suffered coming down from a shot contest, so seems pretty clear he's gonna miss the start of the regular season.

And he, he's definitely has had his share of ankle issues, unfortunately.

Let us now speak of a team I am extremely excited to discuss.

That is the Memphis Grizzlies, and Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian is joining us now.

How you doing, Chris?

I'm doing well.
