With NBA Playoffs starting tomorrow, one of the most interesting series to follow will be the Memphis Grizzlies vs the Minnesota Timberwolves. And Ja Morant, the third-year-old Memphis point guard, seems to want it all.

The Timberwolves beat the LA Clippers in the play-in tournament to qualify as the seventh seed for the playoffs and now face a juggernaut in Memphis. Memphis is a team on the rise even though people expected little from them before the season began, but they have surprised everybody this season.

Ja Morant is here to take over

Now, just before the series is about to start, Ja has let everybody know his team is here for it and is going for it all this season. He said, “You remember the quote I said? We ain’t ducking no smoke. We run up the chimney.”

Joining scores of fans in supporting the Grizzlies is Shaquille ‘O Neal , the legendary Lakers center. He believes Ja Morant is a superstar right now and just last month compared him to Allen Iverson.

Review of the series 

Just like the Grizzlies, the Timberwolves also have a lot to prove this season. This is the first time they have qualified for the playoffs since the 2017-18 season, but that run didn’t end well with Jimmy Butler ultimately leaving the team in the offseason. Even though KAT is the de facto team leader, the key to this whole series just might be Anthony Edwards.

Anthony Edwards has been a key reason for his team’s growth, as he has taken a gigantic leap in his sophomore year and now belongs in the conversation for one of the best youngsters in the league.

The Grizzlies, on the other hand, have continued their resurgence earlier than many expected. They have been fighting injury concerns all season long and still have secured the second seed. This tells us a lot about the young core which they have assembled and the coaching staff in Memphis, which is doing a fabulous job.

But the key to Memphis’s success is Ja Morant, who put up MVP- type numbers and is the current favorite for the MIP Award according to sources. But Ja is ready. He is not afraid, and he wants it all this season.
