not a fan of Memphis either but they’re too much of a good RS team to be the 10 seed

They don’t have Ja for 25% of the season and are losing their starting center, their second best player is a PF who can’t rebound. It’s gonna be a struggle.

Tbh I think the Steven Adams loss is going to be even more detrimental than Ja, we’ve already seen the team maintain their record when Ja’s injured but no one to replace Adams’ role kind of like GS with Steph and Draymond

Ja missed 21 games last year and Adams was out for half the season and they were still the 2 seed at 51 wins. similar injury concerns can be found with the Clippers and they’re a more refined team than Mavs/Thunder.

Exactly Bane JJJ Clarke JA and Adams all missed over 20 games last season and the Grizzlies STILL ended up being the 2 seed.

I mean this year they have to start without Ja, Adams and Clarke + Tyus Jones, who was a big reason why the Grizzlies were able to be good without Ja, left.

I don't believe that Smart and Bane will be able to carry that offense at a high level and when the west is so deep every little thing like this can hurt a team a lot.
