They're really contenders 🐻💯
They’re contenders for me but with a little twist lol I personally think the roster we see now is not the roster that they will have going into the playoffs I see them being a player for guys like cam Johnson or herb jones at the deadline maybe even another solid big the roster they have now no but I don’t think this is there roster come playoff time
The sub-30 minutes isnt new for Jenkins. He was doing that with the Grizz the first 3 or so seasons. So did Bud who he assistanted for in Milwaukee. And they both got their start with the games management pioneering Spurs.
Maybe 1 Grizz every year would play 32 minutes, but not until 2022 or so did they start playing multiple guys 33, 34 mpg. Even then, never averaging more than 35 over the season.
Now they are back to managing minutes like 3 years ago.
They need to just make that Brandon Ingram trade
Ja has dunk, layup and assist of the season
Still missing Edey, GG Jackson and Vince Williams! This team is stacked and wearing teams down with their pace and depth! People forget Memphis was OKC a couple of years ago! How soon they forget after one injury plagued year! This team, when/ if healthy is the best, top to bottom, team in the league and still has the roster flexibility to get even better!
What has OKC done that the Grizzlies haven't? Do you think they'd be where they are if they were down the same players the Grizzlies have been this season?
Grizzlies #1 scoring offense top 5 defense but you pick Dallas when their defense not top 10
dude tried to pull a fast one and state their ranking in 3-point shooting and wanted to ignore that they lead in scoring lmao. The y also do something that win championships and that is play high level defense. The just literally out dueled Boston at Boston. They are acting like Memphis has had a bunch of losing seasons, Thier las 5 seasons have been winning seasons minus last year and that year they had a ton of injuries. If you lose just two players on any other team those teams will lose but the grizzlies are ripping through whoever is in front of them with the 5th through 10th man playing good minutes.
Brandon Clark never shoots 3s, c'mon.
Memphis set 3 different injury records last season. Most starting lineups, most games missed to injury, and most players to play a game for one ball club in a season. Now everybody is acting brand new. If you're a long term grizz fan, the success this season is no surprise.
Edit: Mannix eyes look like he been chiefin big za
Yes. Yes they can.
They seem like they are trying to talk themselves out of believing what they see. The Grizzlies have been good when healthy. They are healthy and have a deeper bench.
