De’Anthony Melton on how fun it is to make an impact off the bench with Kyle Anderson: Him and Kyle joke a lot about being straight to it — they want to apply pressure and want to let teams know to not bring lazy stuff around them. They constantly want to create turnovers – 1:16 AM

De’Anthony Melton likes being around the ball defensively, because he can disrupt stuff and generate deflections and deny passes — do more of the little things defensively – 1:15 AM

De’Anthony Melton says their defensive aggression and activity are paying off, when it comes to getting steals. They also know they’re dangerous in transition, and they want to get out and run as much as possible – 1:15 AM

De’Anthony Melton on the team’s excitement to get Ja Morant back in the mix with how they’re playing right now: They know what 12 can do, and his aggressiveness will feed into it even more. Says he watches a lot of tape, and he’ll find points to pick his aggression – 1:12 AM

Jaren Jackson on expecting the team to click and put on big runs: “Peaks and valleys” — wise words from Desmond Bane. They don’t expect anything, but they’ll keep fighting regardless of how the game is going. Being ahead is not a guarantee in each game – 12:57 AM

The Grizzlies are legit. They have an attitude, toughness, and culture that should intimidate other playoff teams.

The Grizzlies have won 10 of their last 11, all without Ja Morant.
They have a defensive rating of 97.4 in that span, which would be the 6th best defense since the three-point era (1980). pic.twitter.com/jK8GJ71p2z – 12:30 AM

It’s remarkable what is happening in Memphis. Winners of 10 of their last 11 games, all without Ja Morant. Kings TV spent a huge amount of their broadcast talking about “Grizzlies Culture”. Yes, Grizzlies Culture is a real thing now. As I said, remarkable. – 12:28 AM
