The Grizzlies have been great, and Ja is playing like an MVPer. I’m anxious to see if we can defend him.

A win tonight in MEM would signal that we are a truly competitive team.

I have a sneaky suspicion that a 10-game winning streak will come to an end tonight in the NBA. I hope my intuition proves to be true.

I was looking at their 10 game win streak and who they played in that stretch and it was a mix of good/bad teams.

Their most impressive win imo was against PHX, i watched that game and they did blow a lead in the 4th but hung in there with Ja hitting the game winner

Their GS wins were good too but GS had guys out in the second win

If we win this one tonight, I will feel pretty good about where we are.

V8 mishandled a dunk and went back up when he should have kicked out. Other than that I am loving his game tonight. I am okay with him never shooting anything other than a 2 foot layup or dunk. He could still score 10 a game fairly easily.

Wish Ant would get the calls Morant gets, he would be a lot better.

I liked seeing Ant say something to DLo when he didn’t help on defense.

Good start, even though we’ve had a lot of shots rim out.

Great start offensively but I feel like we are sending too many players at Morant and leaving other Grizzlies open...Morant is a good passer and he is able to find the open guy when is being doubled or tripled.

Ant is a really underrated 3 point shooter. 37% on 9 attempts is no **** joke.

If Naz shows up on offense and Ant shows up on defense we have a good chance.

Usual suspects, Reid and Beasley are absolutely worthless early on

Good first quarter..with no Nowell, the bench does lack some scoring..especially with Beasley still being inconsistent

Ref Bill Kennedy is one of the few modern people rocking am mustache and doing it well.

And we don't need him to score more than 10. He's looking a little Rodman like with a better offensive game.
