Marc Gasol erases Enes Kanter's shot attempt from existence (Video)

Marc Gasol isn’t known as an elite rim-protector, but he sure looks like Nerlens Noel right here.

The Memphis Grizzlies are in must-win mode as the season comes to an end. Unfortunately, things aren’t going to be easy for them.

Memphis is only a half-game out of the 2-seed in the Western Conference playoffs, but they are also only two games out from dropping all the way to the 6-seed. Things are simply that rough in the West, and the room for error is incredibly small.

The Grizzlies have seven games left, counting tonight’s game, and five of them are really tough games: vs Oklahoma City, vs. Washington, vs. New Orleans, at Los Angeles (Clippers) and at Golden State. It would be near impossible to say they will lose all those game, but nothing is out of the realm of possibility. Who knows, maybe some things go wrong and they do lose all five of those games and then become the 7-seed.

But the Grizzlies can’t think negative like that. They want to win-out, and that wouldn’t be crazy either. Tonight’s matchup against the Thunder is really tough, but Memphis led after one half and have looked good all night. Marc Gasol knows how important these final games of the regular season are, and that means that he is going to do everything in his power to make sure his team wins.

Poor ol’ Enes Kanter was just going up for a basic little shot, but Gasol was quick to react and got one of the nastiest blocks of his career.

That block was one of those moments were the timing was just perfect and it really made it seem powerful. It was probably a bit deflating for Kanter and company.

A focused Memphis team is going to be really fun to watch for the rest of the year.
