Back to the Future in Memphis
Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via This year’s Grizzlies are winning through a modern roster embracing a nostalgic philosophy. If the Grizzlies take the court tomorrow (which we certainly hope they can with some positive news), they will hope to continue their winning ways in pursuit of their first playoff appearance in four years. Two weeks ago, few thought that was still possible. Now, after a five game winning streak, this team is winning due to committing to an emerging identity and its best talents returning. As a result, the playoff pursuit is gaining validity by...

Grizzlies Advocate: Is now the time to deal?
Photo by Stephen Gosling/NBAE via Time to trade? Once the James Harden trade went down, and the realization that he’s going to team up with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving settled in, the question who’s next revolved around NBA Twitter.

I’m totally for anything that makes this team better, and one of these players would instantly become the most talented player the Memphis...

The Memphis Grizzlies will make the playoffs
Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via Short of a significant injury, history is on the Grizzlies’ side. In the book of Proverbs found in the Bible, it is written: “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.” To put that verse in more simple terms, it essentially means that wise people are open to the advice of others.

Photo by Justin Ford/ How good can Morant become? The Memphis Grizzlies are above .500 after defeating a clear playoff favorite in the Western Conference on national television while not getting any contributions from two of their best five or so players. What a time to be alive. Not too long ago, when the team’s young superstar Ja Morant went down with a grade 2 ankle sprain, there were some clamoring for a tank job if Ja were to be out for an extended period. Dreams of Jalen Suggs and Cade Cunningham were running through the heads of members of Grizz Nation. Those...
