“What a weird three-week stretch. Losses to the Lakers, Clippers (without their stars), the Bulls (without Wade) and wins over the Jazz and the Warriors. The Grizzlies are tough as nails, but with a 24th-ranked offense, you wonder if they’re going to be anything more than a “tough team you don’t want to face in the playoffs, but can probably beat anyway.”
Memphis has dropped multiple spots in most rankings across the internet. Given recent losses to mediocre teams from both conferences, falling in the power rankings makes sense.
However, nobody will want anything to do with Memphis in the playoffs because they’ve proven they can beat top-teams in multiple locations.
