Memphis Grizzlies, Pretender or Contender?

[justin43]

Discuss. I wonder what the ISH forum thinks of Memphis the team with the playoff about to start soon. We already have a conscience on Morant.:facepalm

My gut says pretender. They're a young team that hasn't tasted winning in the playoffs yet. I think Golden State at full strength and Phoenix come playoff time will prove to be the real contenders.

Could go either way. They got all the nicest role playing light skinned cuties like Kyle Anderson, dillon brooks and tyus Jones. I think it’s probably a second round exit, WCF at best because either Phoenix or clippers will trounce them.

I’m gonna say theyre a Suspender. Meaning I dont feel sure either way and have to suspend judgement.

Hard to say. They are doing well in the regular season but how much of that is skill/talent and how much is outworking other teams?

In the playoffs everyone is playing hard so those fast break points will be harder to come by. Should be interesting.

I have faith tbh

WCF at least

So it is between undecided and contender so far. I expected a lot more hate for the Grizzlies. Pleasantly surprised.:applause:

They're an organically built team, who share the ball around and play as a team.

No superteam, with ball dominant team killers

Love it tbh

People only hate a team if they have a well documented star or if they have a history of winning. I still remember fans liking the Warriors when they broke out during the 2015 season, and you saw how much hate they got right after that, plenty of people hated them before they got KD too.

Grizzlies are still a young team with a young star in Morant who doesn't have much experience. If they somehow break out and make deep playoff runs for years to come, you better believe the hate will be there.

Hi, Justin.

Been a while since you've last posted.

[insight]

Could go either way but their greatest strength is transition fast break points and the game slows down in the playoffs. Teams will take away what they do well and bring equal intensity we will see if they are able to take their game to another level.
I don't see conference finals but I don't see first round exit either.

Grizz m8?

One crazy stat about the Memphis Grizzlies: The starting 5 of Brooks, Adams, Morant, Bane, and JJJ have only played 96 mins together.:biggums:
