I think okc or mem gets out of the west. They are solid at all 5 positions and mayo can be a great sixth man
If the Grizzlies get it together, I would put them ahead of the Spurs and Lakers. A Spurs rematch in the 2nd round would be epic if Manu was healthy. In the other bracket, it would be fun watching OKC take down the Lakers.
The biggest problem with the grizzlies is that our injuries and new players coming in, not to meantion Rudy coming back off of major injury, robbed the grizzlies of really competing for home court advantage. we literally don't hold any tie breakers among any of the top team except dallas. The grizzlies need to somehow get home court. Not saying we can't win on the road; we can. But it makes it a whole lot more difficult.
No one wants the grizz in the playoffs. They get steals,have the best perimeter defender in the le}ue and one of the best post players in the league. That's a great combo for winning in playoffs.
+they can play small, big, they rebound and can use an athletic lineup too. If they get it rolling right and Arenas can score off the bench they can be scary
