What is there to admit? It was always going to be tough for the Grizzlies with Ja, Adams and Clarke out for extended periods, and then Santi and Kennard being out now too hasn't helped either.
Which other team can handle missing 2 starters (an All-Star/All-NBA level talent, and then their most structurally important player) and 3 other 15+mpg rotation guys, and not be massively affected?
Biggest concern for the Grizzlies right now IMO is the amount of open shots that are being missed so far this season. It's good that they're getting the looks, but it's becoming concerning that otherwise good shooters aren't hitting open shots.
