Life worked out for me to attend this game, and now I know why. I needed to see in person, once again, just how mediocre-to-not-so-hot Blake Griffin is at every aspect of basketball besides dunking/scoring. The Grizzlies almost gave away this game to...

Doing as much as they have to do. It’s like watching a pool hustler at this point. The Grizzlies are not playing their primary guys for anything resembling primary-guy minutes, and they’ve kept winning. Not that they’ve faced the st...
