The Starting 5 Podcast: Trial and Error for the Young Grizzlies

On this week’s episode, the Starting 5 began the show recapping the Grizzlies’ 117-111 overtime loss in Game 4 to the Los Angeles Lakers to fall behind 3-1 in the series. LeBron James made the game-tying layup with .8 seconds remaining in regulation and the Lakers never looked back as they outlasted the Grizzlies at home.

In the next segment, the Starting 5 discussed what transpired after the game with Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks skipping the media session. They are the two players on the team that have been notable for the most trash talk this season, so the news of them skipping the media session was a big topic of discussion.

To close the show, the Starting 5 chose which of the three teams with games on the same night that are down 3-1 in their series are most likely to come back to win their series: The Memphis Grizzlies, the Cleveland Cavaliers (vs New York Knicks), and the Milwaukee Bucks (vs the Miami Heat). All three teams are the higher seeds with home-court advantage that lost Game 1 at home and did not return the favor winning either Game 3 or 4 on the road.
