Rachel Nichols, Zach Lowe, Jorge Sedano and Kendrick Perkins heap praise on Memphis Grizzlies rookie guard Ja Morant, then debate whether the Grizz or the Western Conference’s field — including the New Orleans Pelicans, Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns — is more likely to make the NBA playoffs.

Portland dug themselves too deep of hole so Memphis will hold on to the 8th seed.

Ja Morant already more impactul than Devin Booker, don’t need no 70 point game in a loss, he gets his 20 points playing for the W 💪

The Grizz were projected to be the worst team in the league. Rookie PG, rookie coach, they mean business.

I can’t wait for Ja to start snapping when the NBA comes back. Its hilarious how people keep counting the Grizzlies out because they want to see Zion in the playoffs

It sounds like they put reverb on Rachel’s voice, but there’s already a lot of room sound coming through her mic. That makes her voice sound weird.

Depends, does anyone know if there’s a play-in is it just 1 game? Or is it at least a 3 or 5 game series? Because if it’s just 1 game that’s almost a coin toss when we’re talking about teams with records like a couple games apart
