The Grizzlies' performance this season can no longer be described as progress, but a spurt of improvement. They currently have a record of 44 wins and 21 losses, and today the Grizzlies beat the Magic and the Warriors lost to the Lakers, making the Grizzlies the second best team in the league. In addition, the Grizzlies' record of 44 wins and 21 losses is also ranked first in the Southwest Division, 4.5 wins ahead of the Lone Rangers. Given the Grizzlies' recent hot form, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to maintain division number one at the end of the season. If that can be done, the Grizzlies will be the first time in the team's 27-year history to finish first in the division.
The Grizzlies are likely to take first place in the division, but they are a group of young people with an average age of 23.8 years. The Grizzlies are now younger, the team has a group of talented teenagers, and only the Thunder are younger than the Grizzlies in the entire league. It was even more difficult for a group of young people and the team to finish first in the division.
The Grizzlies are a young team that joined the NBA 27 years ago and this team has produced a lot of good stars. For example, Gasol Grande, who was an all-star when he played for the Grizzlies. However, he was repeatedly eliminated in the playoffs and joined the Lakers before realizing his championship dream. By the rise of the Grizzlies around 2010, Gasol Jr. and Randolph formed a black-and-white bear duo. On the outside, there are tough players like Conley and Tony Allen. The Grizzlies were very competitive at the time, and in 2011 the Grizzlies beat the Spurs on the down the bat to complete the Black Eight Miracle.
In the years that followed, the Grizzlies also remained competitive. As the black and white bears aged, the grizzly bears began to rebuild. Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies rebuilt surprisingly fast, and after selecting Morant in 2019, the Grizzlies only took two years to return to the playoffs. This season, under Morant's leadership, the Grizzlies have become the league's top powerhouse, and this season's Grizzlies' goal should be the Western Conference Finals or even the Finals. Many fans wonder why today's Grizzlies are very young and seem to be inexperienced compared to the black and white bears of that time, why can they achieve such good results? First of all, Morant was an unabashed genius. Morant should be the most talented player in Grizzlies history, with his guarantees at the Grizzlies' lower limit.
In addition, the Grizzlies have selected a number of good players in recent years. For example, Jackson Jr., Brooks, Williams, Clark, these players dare to fight and have a certain talent. When they're on the floor, the Grizzlies aren't competitive. The Grizzlies are a young team, but there is no shortage of experienced veterans. Adams, for example, is a very experienced player, defending cleanly and covering as solid as a wall. Jones is an excellent playmaker, and the addition of these players has also greatly improved the Grizzlies' strengths. We also have to take into account one thing: Brooks has been injured this season, and Morant has been absent for a while. Even so, the Grizzlies achieved a good record of 44 wins and 21 losses. This team may be stronger than we thought.
After 27 years on the team, the Grizzlies finally have the potential to win a division championship. The title means a lot to them, and none of the current Grizzlies want to meet. Under Morant, what level will the Grizzlies reach this season? Dear readers, how do you rate the Grizzlies' record this season? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section of the article.
