The Grizzlies went on an 11-3 run coming out of this timeout, so I think he succeeded in firing them up to some extent. But it was too little, too late.
I don’t think I’ve seen a single player sink a contender more than Ja Morant. Maybe Ron Artest during the Malice at the Palace is comparable but that was a single moment of insanity. Ja’s fuckup was over multiple chances. It’s nuts how he just shit last year and this year away. Even with the injuries, Ja would likely have been able to keep them afloat but they’re almost too far behind already. I would be so furious that if I was a Grizz fan. You only get so many chances to be a true contender.
