The beginning of the NBA’s 2017-18 season started off with much anticipation. Many people were wondering who would take the early lead.
The Cleveland Cavaliers or Golden State Warriors were clearcut favorites for obvious reasons. To many spectators’ surprise, though, it was not either of the two. It was our very own boys in Beale Street Blue. The Memphis Grizzlies.
Memephis started hot, winning five of their first six games, propelling them to the top of the NBA leaderboard for the first couple of weeks. The five victories that Memphis battled through were defeats of other top teams in the league, including the New Orlean Pelicans, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and Dallas Mavericks.
