LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Los Angeles Lakers have to like the schedule for their series against the Memphis Grizzlies. The NBA released the opening-round schedules on Wednesday morning (tip-off times for late-series games are still TBD).

With their dramatic 108-102 overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers clinched the seventh seed in the Western Conference and a date with the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the 2023 postseason. By all accounts, this isn’t a traditional 2-7 playoff matchup. After all, the Lakers’ top two […]

The Los Angeles Lakers squeaked pass the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2023 NBA Play-In Tournament on Tuesday. They were down most of the contest, however pulled ahead late and eventually found themselves in a free period. After one overtime, the Lakers won 108-102 and moved into a first-round matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies in the […]

With the Memphis Grizzlies set to face the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, it means it is time for some […]

It’s a bit confusing how the Memphis Grizzlies (and to a greater extent, the Sacramento Kings) still fail to command the respect a top-seeded team in the Western Conference deserves, but here we are. There’s been talk that the 3/6, 2/7 route to the Western Conference Finals is an easier path, and there’s certainly an […]

The Los Angeles Lakers expended most of their time and energy on defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves in Tuesday’s Play-In Tournament thriller, but LeBron James had evidently allowed himself to look ahead to their first-round matchup with the West’s No. 2 seed, the Memphis Grizzlies. “Really good team. Very well-coached. Very well-balanced,” LeBron said about the […]

Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams is going to miss the 2023 playoffs due to the PCL sprain he’s been dealing with since January.

Warriors forward Draymond Green added a bit of fuel to the fire in his ongoing beef with Memphis Grizzlies man Dillon Brooks.

If basketball never stops, neither do basketball rumors. With the Dallas Mavericks crapping out of the postseason in one of the most spectacular in-season collapses in recent history, the franchise’s entire future seems suddenly tenuous. Kyrie Irving, who the Mavs dealt for at February’s trade deadline, is a free agent; Luka Doncic is under contract […]

Ja Morant was out of action on Wednesday as the Memphis Grizzlies saw their hopes of securing the No. 1 seed in the West disappear right in front of their eyes.

History was made in the NBA on Thursday night. Twice. After the New York Knicks set a new Big 3 record, the New Orleans Pelicans matched the same record a few hours later. The odds of that happening have to be astronomically low, but somehow, it happened. For starters, the Knicks trio of Immanuel Quickley, […]

Since Ja Morant returned to action for the Memphis Grizzlies back on March 22 after a nine-game suspension/personal hiatus, the club has lost just twice.
