About the episode
Jacoby is back, and he and Verno discuss the fallout from the Taylor Jenkins firing in Memphis and how the Grizzlies have responded in the two games since Jenkins’s dismissal (05:14). Did Ja Morant know or have any influence in the decision to let Jenkins go? Next, the guys discuss how the Clippers’ strong defense will be troublesome for any team that faces them in the playoffs, as well as their disappointment with Ime Udoka’s decision to bench Jalen Green toward the end of the game in a loss against the Lakers (24:05). Finally, as we enter the final two weeks of the season, the guys share six players to keep an eye on during that final playoff push (33:23).
