The Memphis Grizzlies won’t win a title this season, but they’ll be a thorn in the side for any first-round opponent.
Same as it ever was.
This year’s iteration of the team features the following:
- Top 10-defense.
- JaMychal Green becoming a legitimate starting power forward. (He appeared in four games for the Spurs in the 2014-15 season, by the way.)
Memphis, the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 39-30 record, is within one game of the fifth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers and a half-game behind the sixth-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder.
