Grizzlies podcast: Ja vs. Wemby, play-in hopes on the ropes
On this episode of The Daily Memphian’s Memphis Grizzlies podcast, beat writer Drew Hill and Chris Herrington break down a busy week for the team.
Ja Morant took on 7-foot-4 Victor Wembanyama in a showdown Tuesday night and produced a dunk for Memphis fans to remember. Herrington and Hill recap what it was like to be in the building when two potential faces of the league squared off.
The Grizzlies followed the excitement of Tuesday’s win with a disappointing loss to the Raptors Wednesday. They are now in a deeper hole as it relates to potential play-in positioning. Should they still hold out hope that they can make it?
Hill and Herrington discuss the problems with Memphis’ offense, criticism of coach Taylor Jenkins and what the team will need to evaluate as the final three months of the season approach.
