Ronnie Brewer (Utah Jazz) on the show (The Audio)


Ronnie Brewer from the Utah Jazz joined us on the show on today (the off-day between the 2 games this week with the Grizzlies).  Ronnie is at the very top of the list of our favorite NBA players to bring on the show.  He is always great.  Today we talked to him about playing for Sloan, playing in Utah, being in a contract year, Memphis, twitter, the Gilbert Arenas situation and NBA players and guns, etc.  Check it.

Grizzlies Statistical Analyst Aaron Barzilai (The Audio) and Chris Wallace (Audio)

On Tuesday I read an article on TrueHoop where Henry Abbott was asking questions of stat guru Wayne Winston.  LINK In the article, one of the questions was about coach of the year.  Here is what Winston said...

9. Coach of the year?

I think Lionel Hollins or Paul Westphal. Nobody thought these teams had a shot at playoffs, but they do now. Give Aaron [Aaron Barzilai, quantitative analyst for the Memphis Grizzlies and basketballvalue.com founder] some credit for Grizzlies’ great play!

I had not heard of Aaron previous to this interview but I wanted to get him on to talk about who he is, what he does, what he does for the Grizzlies, and advanced stats in the NBA.  He was on the show on Wednesday.  It is broken into two parts.  Aaron's website is basketballvalue.com
