The Los Angeles Lakers are set to take on the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the NBA playoffs in a series that should be equal parts thrilling and physical, with plenty of potential for off-court shenanigans and feuds to boot.
Here at Silver Screen and Roll, we have written plenty about our own theories on this series, with more to come, both before it begins and as it moves along. But we also wanted to get some local insight on Memphis from someone who has watched them more closely than any writer on our staff could hope to.
