The Memphis Grizzlies start the second eighth of their season tonight in Portland.
With an eighth of the season gone, it’s a nice time to look back and see how the team has done so far. It’s also a good time to wonder how the team is prepared to do moving forward.
The Grizzlies have started 6-4, and that has them tied for 4th place in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies average have a 3.7 point differential, which is sixth best in the Western Conference as well (eighth overall). Despite injuries to two starters (JaMychal Green and either Wayne Selden or Ben McLemore), the Grizzlies are on pace to win 48 games, which should be plenty to secure their 8th consecutive playoff spot.
