A lot of the attention was focused on Ja, who has had a disappointing season. And it wasn't looking like things were getting any better this week. They built a four-game losing streak, which in their defense was about as tough as a four-game stretch can be. Thunder, Lakers, Celtics, Warriors. During the Warriors game, there was the finger guns controversy when Ja pointed at the Warriors bench.

I think he was fined 75K for that. So with all that drama of the past few weeks, I was just happy for Grizzlies fans seeing Ja get that game winner. And while we didn't get to see any Ja during our Wheel of Fandom week, he was back in full force this week. He was great. He averaged right around 29-6-6 on good efficiency during that brutal stretch of opponents.

The only bad news for the Grizz is the schedule doesn't totally lighten up. They've still got games against Detroit, Minnesota, and Denver in their Final Five. And that Minnesota game is going to be huge, as I mentioned, because those two teams are currently tied in the standings, and the Wolves are in a four-game winning streak.

Yeah. You know, the thing, and this is why I brought up Westbrook last week as an X factor, because, you know, as we know, having watched him for so long, like nothing he does is quiet. Everything is loud. The good stuff is super loud. The bad stuff is super loud. And yeah, Like watching that game and seeing how it played out, like it couldn't have been any other player than Westbrook.

Like that's just how things happen. And it had to be that loud. It had to be at the end of the game. Yeah, that was just brutal for Jokic to have that game and for it to end like that end to end on free throws. I was watching that game with my uncle. We were having a great time. And for it to end just like on these two free throws, he misses the last one.

It was kind of a bummer of an ending, but it was an amazing game.

All right, Andrew, it is time for the Wheel of Fandom, the weekly segment where we spin a wheel, it lands on a team, and we become fans of that team for the next week. Now, last week, the wheel landed on the Brooklyn Nets. And if you've been following the Wheel of Fandom this season, you know that the vast majority of teams have had a very bad week when the wheel lands on them.
