Twitter: https://www.Twitter.com/SeanCostelloJr So i’ve wanted to talk about the Memphis Grizzlies since they won 10 out of 11 games without their leader and star Ja Morant, but I wanted to wait a bit and see how much better they’d play once Ja Morant returned to the team. Well Ja’s come back infrared hot and the Grizzlies have won 5 in a row so it seems like now is a good time to break down why this Grizzlies team is such a problem. So last night the Memphis Grizzlies won their 5th straight game like mentioned in the intro as they knocked off the Nets in Brooklyn by a score of 118 to 104 and never trailed in last night’s contest as well. Going back to how I said Ja Morant has played infrared hot lately, in his past 4 games he’s averaged exactly 35 points on 57% shooting from the field and 73% shooting from behind the arc. More impressively three of those four games which were of course all wins came against the Suns, Lakers and the Nets which shows this Grizzlies comes to play against the top teams in the league. I know the Lakers have struggled but playing against LeBron is always a big deal. Rather than just keep talking about their recent play, how about we look at how great they’ve played for the entire season thus far. The Grizzlies are doing phenomenal and in the top of the league on the offensive side of the ball. The team’s defense has been a bit of an area for concern despite the team being in the top 10 of three different defensive categories. However back on a positive note for the Grizzlies, these things can be fixed as things go along as the Grizzlies are the 2nd youngest team in the entire league. Ja Morant has also taken another leap. Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr have also been tremendous this season as well, while the rest of the Grizzlies players have filled in the puzzle very nicely. The Grizzlies have a phenomenal young core of players as well as a great future, which is scary to think about when you realize they have the second young roster in the entire league while also holding on to the seventh best record in the NBA as of right now.
