After five glorious seasons of gritting and grinding, the Memphis Grizzlies appear (for the moment, at least) to have settled into the role of gatekeeper. They're good enough to knock off decent competition, win nine of 12 games and earn a mid-bracket playoff spot, but they just don't have the firepower to avoid big, bad losses against prospective top-flight title contenders. Hence the 30-point loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the franchise-worst 50-point loss to the Golden State Warriors, the 20-point loss to the San Antonio Spurs .
