The Grizzlies faltered down the stretch once again and lost their 5th straight game. Cedric Coward led the team with 19 points and 11 rebounds, and the defense looked improved with Zach Edey, but a weak 4th quarter and Harrison Barnes outplaying Jaren Jackson Jr was too much to overcome.

To discuss this loss, and the overall state of the Grizzlies, including Tuomas Iisalo's shaky record, the attitude of Ja Morant, and the goals of this team for the remainder of the year, Keith is joined by Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian.

Also covered: Dillon Brooks and Marcus Smart sound off about the Grizzlies!

Zach Edey made his season debut for the Grizzlies against the Cavaliers and made an instant impact. In that game, Ja Morant left early and did not return, opening injury questions for the team once again.

Also in that game, Cedric Coward made his first career start as Tuomas Iisalo shuffled the lineups trying to improve recent results. But largely due to the loss of Morant, the Grizzlies could not hold onto a fourth quarter lead and lost their 8th game out of their last 9.

This episode discusses the strong play of Edey, Ja's injury, the start (and lower minutes) of Coward, plus the recent blowout defeat to the Celtics.

Also: the team makes a roster move and signs Jahmai Mashack.

UPDATE: the Grizzlies announced after recording that Ja Morant will be out for 2 weeks.

To discuss the loss and to talk about the feasibility of a coaching change or a Ja Morant trade, Chris Herrington (The Daily Memphian) joins this episode of Grits and Grinds.

The Grizzlies gave up a halftime lead to lose their NBA Cup matchup against the Lakers, but the big story is the disinterested play and postgame comments of Ja Morant, which led the team to suspend him for one game for "conduct detrimental to the team."

This episode discusses the game against the Lakers, included the strong performances of the supporting cast, the disappointing play of Jaren Jackson Jr, and the entire situation around Ja Morant.
