The Memphis Grizzlies aren’t an extremely talented team, but that hasn’t stopped them from giving the Houston Rockets a lot of trouble over the years.
The Grizzlies’ team identity has been that of a tough, slug-it-out kind of ball club. In an era of pace-and-space and position-less basketball, the Grizzlies look more like a 90’s team that is stuck in the wrong generation. After losing Zach Randolph and Tony Allen in the offseason, who are legends in Memphis, the success of the current era of Grizzlies basketball seemed to be coming to an end.
