“They’re frontrunners. They’re just extra. They talk when they’re winning. They don’t say s— when they’re losing. Their whole thing over there is just annoying.”
- Anonymous NBA player’s issue with the Memphis Grizzlies
(Via

)
During All-Star Weekend, Kyrie Irving told Jaren Jackson Jr. what he would do in a one-on-one situation against him
Tonight Jaren uses that knowledge and gets the stop on him in the clutch
Ja Morant in his last 20 games:
32.7 PPG
6.6 APG
6.0 RPG
50% FG
8 games of 35+ PTS (Franchise-best 52)
The best individual stretch in Grizzlies franchise history🔥🔥
The Memphis Grizzlies are on a 7-game winning streak and are now first in the Western Conference.
The trio of Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane still hasn’t played together
Taylor Jenkins led the 2nd youngest team to the 2nd best record in the NBA, a Top 5 offensive and defensive rating, and the first division title in Grizzlies history. He also navigated injuries to key players all season, including a 20-4 record with Ja Morant.
Coach of the Year!
An under reported storyline from the Grizzlies-Warriors series is that Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jordan Poole played high school ball together.
Watching the way they interact on the court has been fun through the first two games!
Jaren Jackson Jr is leading the league in blocks, of the players in the top 5 he is averaging the most PPG (16.7) and has made the most threes (92)
He is already one of the best 2-way bigs in the league🦄🦄
Ja Morant also thanked Michael Jordan and called him “the reason a lot of people wanna play the game of basketball” but they don’t want you to see that!
Jaren Jackson Jr. leads the NBA in:
Blocks per game (3.1)
Defensive Rating (105.7)
Opponent FG% (42.8%)
BLK% (9.8%) - 4th best season in NBA history
The Grizzlies were 20th in defensive rating without him and are 1st since he returned
The DPOY race should be over.
BREAKING: The Thunder say Josh Giddey is available to play tonight vs. the 76ers, per

“Just with the information that we have at this point, that’s the decision that we made.”
Free agent Derrick Rose has agreed on a two-year deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, source tells ESPN. Grizzlies want Rose on the floor this season and as a leader in locker room.
@IanBegley
first reported.
Ja Morant has done nothing but embrace the city of Memphis and the fans and people have the audacity to tell him to sit down when he’s risking injury for your entertainment. Some people just don’t live in reality
Ja Morant was a game-time decision and still ended up with 45 points, 13 assists, and 9 rebounds
Dude left it all on the court tonight with one good hand, can’t ask for anything more
