The Memphis Grizzlies entered the Western Conference playoffs as the two-seed in the conference.
But that means they had to match up with the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round.
Facing a LeBron James-led team is a tough task for anyone.
Yet, it seems like the Grizzlies have been overwhelmed by the moment.
They have done too much talking for a team that has never made it out of the second round.
Now Memphis is staring a 3-1 deficit in the face if they can not win Game 4 on Monday night.
Colin Cowherd thinks the Grizzlies do not have any fight.
“Memphis is the loudest guy in the bar. Never the the smartest or the toughest… This team doesn’t have any fight.”

Memphis has been very chippy and physical with the Lakers so far in the series and it has not worked out for them.
In Game 3, the Grizzlies were out of the game by the end of the first quarter.
They trailed 35-9, and despite a late comeback, ended up losing by 10.
It will be interesting to see how the Grizzlies respond with their season on the line in Game 4.
They cannot afford to go down 3-1, as the recovery rate to win a series is less than 5%.
Maybe the Grizzlies will focus on playing basketball in this game than trying to get inside the Lakers’ heads.
The rest of this series will tell us a lot about the Grizzlies, and if they are serious contenders.
But the way they are trending does not look too promising.
