We are in the midst of the happiest of holly, jolly days. 'Tis the holiday season! And until recently, the Memphis Grizzlies had plenty to celebrate. A run of winning that the team desperately needed had Memphis on the precipice of a .500 record - and legitimacy in a playoff race instead of back-end hope in the NBA Play-In Tournament.
Since that time, however, things have taken yet another turn for the Grizzlies. Two losses - one to the lowly Washington Wizards, another to the best of the NBA - the Oklahoma City Thunder. Once again losing Ja Morant and Brandon Clarke to injury, and once again needing to sign a hardship waiver.
