NBA Western Conference standings: With a week to go in the regular season, the Grizzlies are in 9th place, half a game back of the Golden State Warriors in 8th place. That matters a lot because, in the upcoming play-in tournament (May 18-21), the 8th place team needs to win only once. The 9th place team needs to win twice. Remaining schedule for both teams:<\/p>\n

Memphis<\/p>\n

Monday: vs. New Orleans (31=37, 11th in the West)<\/li>\n

Tuesday: vs. Dallas (40-28, 5th in the West)<\/li>\n

Thursday: vs. Sacramento (30-38, 12th in the West)<\/li>\n

Friday: vs. Sacramento (30-38, 12th in the West)<\/li>\n

Sunday: at Golden State (35-33, 8th in the West)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Golden State<\/p>\n
\n
Monday: vs. Utah (50-18, 1st in the West)<\/li>\n
Tuesday: vs. Phoenix (48-20, 2nd in the West)<\/li>\n
Friday: vs. New Orleans (31=37, 11th in the West)<\/li>\n
Sunday: vs. Memphis (34-33, 9th in the West)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Thoughts: It’s probably going to come down to that final game Sunday, and Memphis will have to play that one on the road. However, Memphis has a MUCH easier schedule in the days leading up to Sunday. Winning the 3 games against lottery teams the Pelicans and the Kings are key to rolling into Sunday with an advantage.<\/p>\n
Time for the Grizzlies-Golden State game on Sunday is currently listed as “TBD,” which means it is probably going to get picked up by a national TV network.<\/p>\n
Utah vs. Golden State is on NBATV tonight at 9. We need to watch that one and root for our friend Mr. Conley and the Jazz.<\/p>\n
Weather today through Wednesday: Mid-60s highs, low 50s lows. That is very much “San Diego in January” type weather. I guess that’ll make it comfortable for the folks down at BBQ Fest loading in and building out their booths.<\/p>\n
It’s National Shrimp Day<\/a>. My suggestion for how to celebrate: Go get you a fried shrimp po-boy from Ben-Yay’s.<\/p>\n
The Downtown Neighborhood Association will have a Spring Movie Series<\/a> every Thursday at 7:30 PM. First up: A League of Their Own this Thursday. The series will continue for 8 weeks. Food trucks will be on-site, or you can pre-game at Harbor Town’s great restaurants nearby.<\/p>\n
Here’s a link to James Aycock’s COVID-19 Week in Review<\/a> for last week. Of note: COVID hospitalizations increased by 50% this week. Most of the hospitalizations are young people.<\/p>\n
That’s a wrap for today. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n
