A week from now, the Memphis Grizzlies will have played 41 games, putting them at the midway point of what has been a very mercurial season thus far. The Grizzlies have oscillated wildly; occasionally setting the bar very high with their play, while frustratingly failing just as often.
Their recent nose-dive down the West standings has many shaking their heads, but there is still plenty of time to salvage this season. The Grizzlies are finally healthy and just inches outside in a packed playoff race. They have also faced the league’s fifth-toughest schedule so far, and will have a clearer path to second-half wins.
