The Beale Street Bears of late fall just wrapped up a road trip where they dropped two games against old friend Mike Conley and the Jazz, but they looked quite good in wins over Sacramento and Portland. How is DB playing since he returned? Why is the defense so porous? How is Santi holding up in his temporary starting role? And what about Taylor Jenkins' favorite new rookie David Roddy? Marvin and I get into all of this and much more on the latest Memphis Hardwood.
