So basically in the East ...
LeBron ended Pistons' mid-2000s conference stranglehold. Stomped out Soulja Boy's Wizards. Went to Miami to clip Boston's Big 3 run, smashed the budding Rose Bulls, smothered PG's upstart Pacers, and ruined the Raptors
... all in a decade's work.

Nothing but great things to say about Danny Green. An absolute pro during recovery stint in Memphis. Was very appreciative of Grizz performance/training staff. Contributed to franchise's community engagement ventures, including MLK Weekend outreach. Want nothing but best for D.G.

All things considered, this was Ja Morant's most important performance of season, in my opinion. Factoring injuries Grizz dealing with, who he did it against and how he willed his team through many possessions, this was the best overall Ja I've seen this season.
