When asked a team that the Grizzlies would have a tough time with, Ja said, “Celtics. Nah, I’m fine in the West.”. This had fans on Twitter questioning Ja’s comments as the Grizzlies trail 2-3 in the first round versus the team who came out of the Play-In, the Lakers. The Grizzlies have lacked on the defensive end as well as on the offense versus the Lakers. However, their hopes are still alive to get through the first round.

As the postseason moves forward, quite a few teams have established themselves as the favorites to win the East.

Both teams have been solid in the first round, putting up a huge doubt if Morant and company would consider these teams fine for them.
