The Memphis Grizzlies want to be the team no one should sleep on, but Ja Morant's Grade 2 ankle sprain is a serious blow to their chances to keep up with the rest of the West. Can they maintain while Morant is on the mend. We discuss on the Breakdown. Also in the Drop, we are ADOPTING. We are expanding the Family by discussing our new "Young Sons" who we think are going to make some noise and have a prime opportunity to do so this season. We take a look at rising stars like Darius Bazley and Rui Hachimura, and you might see a custody battle or two cause we are protective of our Adopted Young Sons!

A lot to discuss and more on this week's ep. Download and Discuss with us!
