Potential First Round Opponent: Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies head into the playoffs with gaping holes in their lineup, missing both their best backcourt player as well as their terrific center to injury.
Point guard Mike Conley (achilles) and center Marc Gasol (foot) will remain absent for the Grizzlies in the postseason. This will prove to be a devastating blow for them, and prevent any realistic chance of making a deep playoff run in an extremely challenging Western Conference. A series with the San Antonio Spurs would appear too much for the Grizzlies to handle without two of their most talented players.
