Why the Grizzlies fired Taylor Jenkins + DPOY Madness | Slam N Jam

And for the Thunder, it was their 61st win, which sets an OKC franchise record for wins in a season. Now, another one of OKC's wins was a two point win over the Clippers in L.A. While the Clippers didn't get that win, they have been on fire lately, winning nine of their last 11 and moving up to sixth in the West. And this has been the best stretch of Kawhi Leonard's season.

In March, he's averaging 25, seven and a half, three and a half on 52, 39, 80 splits. And this is translated into the Clippers best offensive month so far. Going into March, the Clippers had the 21st ranked offense per clean the glass. Through 13 games in March, the Clippers have the third ranked offense, only worse than Boston and OKC during that stretch.

Now, could the Clippers climb even higher? Well, they currently sit only two and a half back of the Lakers and the Grizzlies, who have both lost four of their last five. And speaking of the Lakers, we're going to talk about the Bulls loss a little later. But for now, I do feel like I have to mention the ongoing feud between LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith.

Now, I'm not going to go through the individual quotes because no one needs to take a 57-year-old man who says he would have swung on LeBron James seriously. But it was notable that the feud rose to the level of Adam Silver being asked about it and saying, quote, when it becomes very personal between a media member and a player, it's not something I want to see.

Now, as a reminder, the league let Stephen A. Smith, the 57-year-old who wants you to believe he'd fight LeBron, be a studio analyst for every game in the NBA Finals, the biggest moment in the sports calendar. This is the same guy who didn't know Quinton Grimes had been traded from his favorite team last season. This isn't a serious person. He's barely a fan of his own team, much less the league.

He's a fan of Stephen A. Smith. Why does Adam Silver allow the general discussion of this league to be dominated by Stephen A.? How much longer is the NBA going to pretend this guy is a real analyst and continue to allow him to be front and center for their biggest media partner? Are we just stuck with this guy as the most recognizable and consumed media personality in the league?

You can't figure out anything else, Adam Silver. NBA social media is just going to be forever dominated with just the dumbest clips from daytime television. You're just going to sit back and let that drive the narrative of the league. Andrew, why is this league so afraid to take their own sport seriously? That's all I'm asking. And finally, we're going to talk about this later.
