JENSIZED LAST ACTIVITY IN MEMPHIS TOWN

Whoop that Clip. (Git em)

By Jen

One of the commentators on last night’s TNT broadcast of the Grizzlies-Clippers game complained about fans chanting “BEAT L.A.” Something about how this isn’t Lakers vs. Celtics. (uh, thank goodness for that…)

Well no. It’s not the most creative. But is “DEE-FENSE!” creative? No. It’s just best to keep things simple when it comes to chanting at a sporting event.

Fans could yell “Chris Paul, one bad flop and you could break your spine and never walk again” but that really just doesn’t roll off the tongue the way “BEAT L.A.” does.

And “No matter what you do you’ll never be the Lakers — even when the Lakers are terrible Billy Crystal is the only ‘famous’ person who comes to your games — oh yeah and Khloe Kardashian too but only because she’s obligated and then again she’s not really famous” is just a mouthful. Also, a run-on sentence.

So, Grizzlies fans, I present to you our new chant: a mantra that’s as Made in Memphis as grit ‘n’ grind and dry rub.
