The Grizzlies made a shocking change in firing Taylor Jenkins. Is there a case in support of the move?

On a new episode of the Just Basketball show, Chris Manning and Wes Goldberg open the show talking about the Defensive Player of the Year race, where Draymond Green has overtaken Evan Mobley as the betting favorite. Then, they look at Taylor Jenkins getting axed by the Grizzlies with just nine games left, if there was real reason to do this move, Ja Morant’s reported frustrations and what Memphis should do next. Then, they explore if they are sleeping on the second-seeded Rockets and what the Suns do now that Kevin Durant is out at least a week with an ankle sprain.
