“Ja Morant has more tweets than field goals made in these playoffs”: NBA Twitter trolls the 2022 MIP for his underwhelming performances in the first-round series vs the Wolves

According to the stats, Ja Morant has been more active on social media than he has been on social media in the first round of these playoffs.

Ja Morant had a pretty exceptional campaign in this 2021-2022 regular season. Averaging 27.4 points, 6.7 assists, and 5.4 rebounds, while leading the Grizzlies to a 56-win year, Morant was rightly rewarded with the 2022 Most Improved Player award.

Despite his regular-season success, the 6-foot-3 guard hasn’t had quite the start to his second-ever playoffs. Sure, the Grizzlies have won two games in the first-round series against the Timberwolves, and Ja has already recorded a historic triple-double, however, the former ROTY hasn’t been up to the mark he set for himself.

With the Grizzlies-Wolves series tied at 2-games apiece, Morant has been averaging a pretty mediocre 20.5 point per game series. And bizarre stats have revealed that the high-flying guard has had more tweets in this postseason than playoffs.
