Can Ja upset PTSD?


Even though the Grizzlies come in as the higher seed I think it's widely accepted that the Warriors are the favorite in this series. This is for good reasoning though, Steph Curry and the Warriors will be reaching their 5th Western Conference finals in the last 6 years. While Ja Morant and the Grizzlies are "unproven" they still aren't an easy opponent. Role players like Desmond Bane, have really stepped up these playoffs and can be the reason this Warriors team gets upset. The one reason I don't think the Grizzlies will win the series is that they can't hold on to leads. This roots from their lack of experience and seems to be the reason they are so vulnerable at times. The Warriors are experienced and are on a mission and I don't think that this young Grizzlies team will compete with the shooting of Steph, Klay, and Poole or the intensity of Draymond Green or even Kevon Looney. I would say the Grizzlies manage to steal a game or two but the Warriors win in 6.
