It really is disrespectful to the Memphis coaching staff and the other players because they are not dependent on Ja to win but that has been the narrative the has been created.
13-2 now lmao

True. What the casuals don't realize as well is that grizz current hc, none other than taylor jenkins, was a former assistant coach of mike budenholzer in two teams not more than five years ago. His coaching prowess is making the team flourish rn with what seems the right pieces they currently have to put them with the other contenders in the west. That's why their excellent record without the flashy ja morant should never be easily overlooked, especially after that blowout win against the pacers earlier.
For the Anti-Morant parade:
13-3. Only 5 of the 13 were above .500. One of those teams is the Clippers(36-35). Two of the 13 wins(Dallas and Blazers they also lost to as well without Morant.)The 13 wins without Morant total record is 371-405(.478) without including the Kings(25-45) twice, which would make it 396-450(.468).

Indy's 33 pt loss is their worst of the season.
They have been consistently competitive game after game. Their previous game they lost to the Hawks, who have been on a roll, by only 3. Previous to that they beat the Spurs and lost by only 3 to the Cavs.
10 of the Griz wins without Morant have been by double digits. One of their wins was by 73 points :oldlol: against OKC.

[QUOTE=RogueBorg;14552934]Out of nowhere, the Grizzlies are now the 2nd seed in the West. Philly and Milwaukee have taken steps backwards from last year, and Harden will take votes from Embiid now that they're taking off. It's between Embiid and Morant. The fact that Memphis has come out of nowhere tells me Morant will win MVP if everything holds as is right now. If they go on a losing streak and Philly continues to win it will be Embiid.[/QUOTE]
Great player, not an MVP. Sorry.

Still a bad team that the Grizzlies especially with Dillion Brooks(2nd best scorer before injury) back should beat. Destroying bad sub .500 teams means nothing in regards to how good the Grizzlies are without Morant. OKC is a very bad team. But keep that false narrative going.

Funny how they had their worst loss of the year against the Griz without the "MVP". Such a wild coincidence that they have been consistently competitive all season but then suddenly collapse against the Griz.

Did you watch the game last night? How many games have you watched when Memphis played without Ja? They are a good team PERIOD and well coached with or without Ja. They handed the Pacers their worse loss all season and they didn't even have their 2nd ball handler plus their DEFENSIVIVE rating is MUCH HIGHER when Ja doesn't play.
Those are the facts.
That doesn't mean Ja is a great player or Memphis is better without Ja it just means they are a good team with or without him.
This season 21-22 (as of this posting)
Ja morant
Double/triple-doubles in last 10 games played: 2
Team record without him: 13-2
Joel embiid
Double/triple-doubles in last 10 games played: 7
Team record without him: 4-8
Nikola jokic
Double/triple-doubles in last 10 games played: 10
Team record without him: 2-5
Yeah keep grasping at straws man
Ja "mvp" morant with 29 points on a double-digit loss against the hawks without trae young :roll:
:yaohappy:
Sweet mother of god are we actually gonna win this
So the grizzlies were able to trounce the rockets in double digits earlier without morant, what say you sorry ass casuals? :durantunimpressed:
The guy should never really be included in the mvp conversations to begin with.
The rockets are the worst team in the league you doofus.
