Ja Morant, the star player of the Memphis Grizzlies, spoke to the media after the home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Grizzlies played an excellent first half, leading 62-51 at halftime, but then completely fell apart in the second half. The Thunder easily turned the game around and ultimately recorded a routine 114-100 victory.
Claim Now Ja Morant played a terrible game in his team’s loss. He scored 11 points on 3-of-13 shooting from the field. After the game, he was asked a question directly about his own performance.
“I’m getting no foul calls. Y’all had a whole spiel about running in there carelessly and getting hurt. So what’s now? That’s what y’all want me to go back doing? Let’s end that convo right there,”Morant said.
He then commented on how he takes the shots he wants, rather than those forced by the opposing defense, saying that this is why he isn’t worried.
“That’s why I don’t get too frustrated because I’m in this arena, I’m in the practice gym doing the same thing. Right now it’s just continuing to shoot, continuing to shoot with confidence and wait for it to translate over.”
The Grizzlies do not look good at the start of the new season. After eleven games played, their record stands at four wins and seven losses. In their next game, they will face the New York Knicks on the road.
