After taking down the Los Angeles Clippers in the Play-In game, the Minnesota Timberwolves now get to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies in the opening round of the playoffs. Ja Morant is well aware of what the Wolves bring to the table and the Grizzlies superstar is very much prepared for what's in front of them.

Morant knows that Timberwolves veteran Patrick Beverley will be up to his old antics against them. The young Grizzlies star isn't fazed at all and he says that his team is more than ready for the challenge:

“You remember that quote I said? We ain’t ducking no smoke. We run up the chimney. It’s simple is that,” said the Grizzlies guard, via Drew Hill of the Daily Memphian. “… Somebody comes to this organization – they know we can’t back down. That’s soft person tendencies. We don’t got no soft guys on this team.”

This is going to be a good one. Grizzlies star Ja Morant is one of the most explosive players in the game today and his skills will be put to the test against a feisty defender in Beverley. You can be sure that neither player is going to be backing down. Expect a dog fight.
