Speaking of coming back, I wonder how the Grizzlies will come back after the series of events that happened with the team.
First is the Ja Morant issue in his social media account. Second is Brandon Clarke suffering a season-ending injury. I wonder how will Coach Taylor Jenkins make an adjustment with his team. Morant doesn't have a timetable right now on when he will return. How will the "Dynasty" team play without their captain? Right now, the Grizzlies are already 3rd in the Western Conference, currently tied with the Kings who is now in the 2nd spot. We are nearing to the end of the regular season. I'm exciting on how the Grizzlies will adjust with what's happening with them.
I was actually surprised at their performance during the game against the LA Clippers. I mean, No Dillon Brooks, Ja Morant, and their big-man duo Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke, yet the game was so close it gave me the chills that they can win that game.
I say they can win at teams on the lower seeds but when it comes to the likes of the 76ers, Bucks, or worse even the Nets they will have a difficult time adjusting.
Offensive capability is what they are missing. Today against the Lakers, all they have to do was focus on Desmond Bane, he only scored 7 points which is unusual for him considering he is next to Ja Morant when it comes to contributing on the offensive end.
But defensively, they are strong, they have Jaren Jackson and Tillman who are known for a high level of defense.
