Shane Battier felt stuck in Memphis, but now he’s been freed

Shane Battier felt locked in, in Memphis.

Sure, he's happy to be on a Grizzlies team that is working with home-court advantage in the second round against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he looked positively buoyant on "Pardon the Interruption" on Thursday afternoon. But he was also stuck, in Memphis. And he wanted to get out.

Please take me literally.
