BOSTON -- Several weeks ago, Ja Morant made headlines when he told ESPN's Malika Andrews that the Memphis Grizzlies are "fine in the West."
What drew a little less attention was that Morant said there was one team he was, in fact, concerned about: the Boston Celtics.
And, after Memphis lost 119-109 Sunday to a Celtics team that is missing three of its top eight players -- including Boston's starting backcourt of reigning Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart and All-Star Jaylen Brown -- Morant explained his concern about the Eastern Conference foe.
