Chris Vernon Show

We'll open the show talking about the Hustle win yesterday and Chris talks about his daughter being there and how much fun she had (3:00). Next we'll move to the Grizzlies loss in Denver, Lawson Lovering's debut, how he didn't shoot his shot + why Jahmai Mashack is a real thing the Grizzlies have and how he's a role player longterm for this team (18:00) and then we'll move to why the Orlando Magic have struggled so much and not looked like the contender everyone thought they'd be at the beginning of the season (24:00). Jaren Jackson Jr is having surgery and it makes us to the Windhorst fingers...hmmmm (30:53). De'Aaron Fox is replacing Giannis in the All-Star Game and John Tesh will perform Roundball Rock live this weekend, Caleb Williams in the Celebrity 3pt Contest and if we think he can play ball (49:22).

Grizzlies only scored 15 points last night in a loss at Golden State, Jazz sat their best players in the 4th quarter again, and there are multiple stories out about NBA teams tanking and we aren't to the All-Star Break yet...due to up to 10 teams tanking, Chris says this will be the last year of the current lottery format and also says the NBA will tweak the ability to protect picks in future NBA Drafts (9:47). Next we talk about the brawl last night in the Pistons/Hornets game, Isaiah Stewart running on the court with ice packs on his knees, Miles Bridges ability to dodge Beef Stew's punch, us not realizing Moussa Diabate had that in him, Jalen Duren, the suspensions that will follow and then we'll take the Pistons off the board....who is the next team you would want in an NBA Royal Rumble? (40:45) After that we'll try to see if we've heard of the people participating in the NBA Celebrity Game this weekend in Los Angeles (1:10:04). Last but not least, Roser has his final NFL Notes for the 2025-26 season (1:23:00)
