Ant Edwards is a stud. His stroke is pure and he’s one of the most athletic guys in the league. Plus he has that irrational confidence and swagger. He along with Green are the future of the SG position.
Nah man. I am not nearly as invested in this team as I was with GNG. I do think they are going to end up winning this series, but not sure if they are as good as they appeared to be in the reg season.
I don't think they are a true 2 seed like...usually there is no doubt that the #2 seed is a contender and shoe in for the WCF at least...that's not true for them. They really benefitted from a tops turvy year in the west. Mostly injuries. Denver dealing with so many injuries and GSW too, those are definitely teams that if healthy all year would be a two seed. Memphis is in that mid tier pack with Dallas, Utah, and Memphis too and Minny should have been in that pack but they aren't very consistent..but playoff experience makes consistency so we'll see how they are next year. Memphis is missing that other bonafide star player though.
The grizzlies played over 20 games without Ja. And 50 games without Dillion Brooks. So I don't know if you consider that as a disadvantage for Memphis but only the other Western Conference teams. I do agree that Golden State is more dangerous team than the Grizzlies, because they have proven they can win a chip. I also think that Denver would be a far more better team if they had Murray and Porter. I also think that Minnesota is better than their record and that they seem to have gotten it together late in the year, similar to Phoenix two years ago. The grizzlies have a lot of talent, but mostly they have beaten teams with defense and second chance points. This year the Grizzlies set the record for the most second chance points by any team in a regular season. However, in game one that didn't happen and the grizzlies got out rebounded and were manhandled in the paint. If that continues, the grizzlies will be going home.
