Twitter has become a seedy hellhole so I can’t find who coined the “BBQ” phrase to describe the Toronto Raptors’ new-look core of Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (or whoever revised it to Spicy BBQ to account for Pascal Siakam) but that individual deserves some credit because you know what? It works! Especially with the team heading to Memphis, a known barbecue haven, to kick off a six-game road trip!
Speaking of new looks, how good have the Memphis Grizzlies looked since Ja Morant’s return? The Grizzlies are 5-3 since his December return (Morant missed one of the losses) and Morant is averaging 25/5/8 on 47% shooting.
