Don't Poke The Bear -  This Memphis Grizzlies Team Is Poised Through The Noise

Its always been wise to let a sleeping bear rest and not to provoke them to anger but the upswell of media slights directed towards the Memphis Grizzlies that date back to well before the season was suspended due to COVID-19 could be the fuel that leads to a fire igniting with this young and hungry team.

Its always been wise to let a sleeping bear rest and not to provoke them to anger but the upswell of media slights directed towards the Memphis Grizzlies that date back to well before the season was suspended due to COVID-19 could be the fuel that leads to a fire igniting with this young and hungry team.

Many media members across the nation have counted out the Grizzlies and made it seem like its a mere formality before a team like the New Orleans Pelicans or Portland Trailblazers passing them for the eighth and final playoff spot in the NBA Western Conference.

Could one of the teams behind the Grizzlies force a playoff with them? Sure, but to think that this young, confident team will bow down easily is a pipe dream - a dream that many need to wake up from. These players hear the noise, read the tweets and I'm sure that they see it as disrespectful to what they accomplished this season.

I was featured on a Sports Illustrated video with Bill Enright and Corey Parson and we discussed the Grizzlies fate and how their experience could affect them going forward.  Check it out!
