How about Memphis? They're going to improve to 17 and 9 on the road.

A young team like this playing so well on the road.

Yeah, incredible. That man, the catalyst.

Even on a night where Marantha's not shoot well, and that'll do it.

Mix again with some strong effort trying to come back.

But every time they made that big run, it seemed like the Grizzlies would hit a big three,

sometimes off a wild bounce to the ball.

Okay.

Tough loss.

Certainly a tough loss against a great team.

Not a good team, not a very good team, a great team. The Grizzlies are that.

Best record in the league last two plus months, best net rating. They showed why tonight.

Incredibly well-built team. And the Knicks, you know what? Nix gave them everything they could

handle.

You know, it's an interesting spot to be in after this game and what you think and what you make of it.

Because my gut reaction, the thing that I want to come on here and say and be very excited and happy about is put aside all of like the effect that this has on the trade deadline and like you know will the front office get duped into thinking like you know this team is something more than it's not because they put forth the nice like you know what it was it was just nice to see the play, the sort of game that we kind of got used

to them playing last year. And that was great. And I enjoyed that just as a fan not thinking about

like how this might affect 18 other different things. Because they did play good tonight.

And they played very hard. The bounces did not go their way the rest did not uh call

i didn't think a great game certainly not a not an even game um all of those things are true

um at the same time nicks were at home lost a game by 12, to a team in which John Moran and Des Bain, who were the top, you know, you want to give me Bain versus Jaron Jackson Jr., flip a coin.

But really, Morant is their number one.
