The Memphis Grizzlies are no longer a team that is projected to miss the playoffs on a year-to-year basis. With Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. leading the charge, this squad should be making an appearance each and every year.
That being said, they’re playing in a brutal Western Conference. A .500 record that would get them into the Eastern Conference playoffs won’t lead to the same ending for the Grizzlies.
The playoff format is not going to be the same as it has been historically.
