The Western Conference is the home to some of the NBA’s most lethal offenses. The Clippers are an annual top-3 offense, the Spurs have long been the pinnacle of team offense and the Warriors are something only dreamed up of in video games. What will the Memphis Grizzlies have to do to become a good enough a defensive team to slow down (or even stop) these high-powered attacks?
Through this analysis, I’ll base most of my assessments on stopping the Warriors’ offense, since they were the gold standard last year and will probably be improved upon this year.
