    Calkins: Ja went high and they went low. That’s how a magnificent night fell apart.

    Herrington: Grizzlies-Thunder is a rivalry renewed

    Win or lose, the “we’re in this together” energy can enrich a community. Memphis now gets at least two chances to show it in this series.

  • Premium Memphis Grizzlies

    Calkins: You don’t have to believe in the Grizzlies’ chances. Just believe in yourselves.

    The Thunder absolutely destroyed the Grizzlies in Games 1 and 2. So what reason is there to believe in Memphis? I’m glad you asked.

    Herrington: Grizzlies Game 2 loss was just close enough to hurt a little more

    Tuesday night in Oklahoma City, after his team’s 118-99 Game 2 loss, was as close as Memphis Grizzlies interim head coach Tuomas Iisalo has seemed to angry.

    Varlas: Legislators have TSSAA in their crosshairs. And that’s not good.

    The state governing body for high school athletics is facing the possibility of a government takeover. Or outright dissolution.

    Hill: Thunder series may bring clarity to Grizzlies’ future

    Extracting the most value from the rest of the series begins with making it competitive. Can the Grizzlies slow down the Oklahoma City buzzsaw?

    Herrington: In Game 2, Jaren Jackson Jr. has something to prove

    Jackson’s career playoff averages are: 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, shooting 39% from the floor and 33% from 3-point range. Can he do more than that Tuesday night in Game 2?

    Guest Column: Regional One is nothing short of a miracle

    “Every day, Regional One quietly performs life-saving work, often without the recognition or resources it deserves. It serves our entire region – rich and poor, urban and rural, young and old – without pause or prejudice.”

    Echols: Wrestling with the ‘swirling nervousness’

    “Thankfully, the angst gave way. The swirl quieted to a calm and left no indication that it had ever existed. If I weren’t so thankful, I’d be mad — mad that I can’t look back and identify a single silver bullet or a proven magic pill.”
