The Memphis Grizzlies finished the season with 43 wins, seventh in the Western Conference and a first-round exit from the Spurs in the first round. It wasn’t the best season in terms of success. Making the playoffs is always important. However, but in recent years, if you can’t beat the Warriors or Cavaliers, it doesn’t really matter how well you do. The goal here is championships, and NBA fans know that it’s going to take flawless effort from an exemplary team to go home with some hardware.
The Memphis Grizzlies always put up a fight due to their slower pace and attention to defense, but that changed this season.
