After head coach Taylor Jenkins was abruptly dismissed just a few games before the playoffs last season, allegedly because Morant didn't like the system Memphis was running, even though they were in the fight for a top-four seed in the West, this year, he seems unable to find common ground with Tuomas Iisalo either.

It may not feel like it, because the NBA is the NBA and that means chaos reigns over every daily schedule, but it's actually been a somewhat by-the-numbers season so far. Just look at the standings as of Monday's games.

Memphis finished 48-34 overall, 11-5 in Southwest Division games and 26-15 at home a season ago. The Grizzlies averaged 121.7 points per game while shooting 47.9% from the field and 36.7% from deep last season.

Detroit Pistons All-Star Cade Cunningham continues to impress late in another close win against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Jaren Jackson Jr. remains a true believer in the Grizzlies even though they are in dire straits at the moment.

Cousins also said Morant was merely frustrated in that game and that the Grizzlies should just have given him the pass.
