  • Watching the Memphis Grizzlies can feel like leaving through a comic book.

  • You've got John Moran faster than the speed of light, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

  • You've gotten elastic man in Jaren Jackson Jr.

  • Dillon Brooks is the sharpshooter with deadly aim, and Brandon Clarke apparently has the power to turn invisible.

  • It's the only way I can figure that he managed to fall to the number 21 some other teams snatching him up before Memphis did.

  • Now, just like in a comic book, things don't always go well for our heroes.

  • They are young and learning, and they certainly don't yet ruled the Galaxy but is following their adventures fund.

  • Let's start with the first quarter job turns the cushion that James Harden here gives him into an easy three.

  • And then as he walks away, he clearly says, Tell that mother bleep er about me.

  • Absolutely, which is about that's what amazing that was winning.

  • We have through three defenders deliver behind the back pass.

  • No problem, right?

  • Beautiful little spin cycle action here.

  • No problem.

  • Or maybe just combined a little bit.

  • Everything with the steal of break huge finish from Jackson Coming up here, that's the one I like watching from above.

  • Guys, seriously, this is just ridiculous from both of these guys.

  • I love this angle.

  • That's great.

  • That's great stuff.

  • And then this one to Clark just before half time back.

  • Come on.

  • No, look, OK, but look what he does to James Harden here.

  • That cold.

  • You froze the defender there, Look, one way or the other.

  • It was a weird night overall, four hard and with Russell Westbrook sitting, you had the feeling he might bust the box score, and in fact, he did finish with 41.

  • But his efficiency numbers were rough, and he especially struggled in the fourth quarter, going 047 36 37 30.

  • The Grizz, meanwhile, stormed the fourth quarter like they were taking an enemy.

  • Four.

  • Look at this block from Triple J.

  • Moran then turns it into a three job played every minute of the fourth quarter, scoring 11 points down the stretch four or Yuning there, right over James with a shot over Kareem.

  • Now he's the runaway favorite for rookie of the year, and Memphis is now the winner of six straight, good enough for eighth in the West.

  • What could the Grizzlies actually make the playoffs?

  • Well, could they even be an upset threat once they get there?

  • Another question for you.

  • You know how we've been talking about where Andre Iguodala might go if Memphis can't trade him and buys amount instead?

  • What if they just don't want him on and ask him to?
