Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the best teams in the Western Conference all season long, and have been a major surprise. They were expected to be good, but they certainly weren’t expected to be as good as they have been so far this year.

Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, and Mike Conley have done an impressive job of leading their team forward this year. Jeff Green was also acquired mid-season by the Grizzlies, which was a great depth pickup for them. They have all the talent in the world to make a run at a championship this season, and they have the team chemistry to make it happen.

It will be interesting to see what ends up happening with the Grizzlies down the stretch of the season.

There is no question that they will be a force to be reckoned with in the West, but there are a lot of talented teams they’ll have to face. Memphis is going to be a legitimate contender, and they have surprised the league with how good they have been so far in the regular season.
