The Grizzlies have the best record in the NBA...

[21 20 9]

It is early in the season, but the Grizzlies have the best record in the NBA 8 games in. They have had impressive double-digit wins against the Heat, Thunder, and Knicks in the past 3 games...7game winning streak too. Only two real challenges in the next 6 games for them as well...What overall seed could they end up with in the West?

Simply they are legit!

Anywhere from 1-4 imo
Their offense is finally clicking and their defense is as good as ever. once Arthur comes back they are deep too. They'll rack up the RS wins this year, I say around 56

What do you know, apparently having size in your front court is still a viable way to build a team.

[Left Side Drive]

Legit

Loving it

They've been my 2nd favorite to my hometown Raps for awhile...I wish I could abandon ship on my Raps cuz Memphis is a team I just like with no bias but I won't fairweather my home team. Anyways I hope they can keep this up.

I know its early but, I thought the Grizzlies were doomed for a 6-8th seed this season?

I saw them as a 4 seed at best this year, tbh.

this team isnt too different to the team that lost to the clippers last year

(Still though, best record sounds nice )

[TheToothFairy]

Yes it is.

We've added Zbo, and a very decent bench.

Their only loss came at the hand of the Clippers just like so many other teams. I still say the Clippers are the best team in the NBA. Clippers would easily beat Knicks.

However the Clippers coach suck but the Clippers is the deepest team in the league. Their bench outplay miami starter.

Having Odom, Hollin, Crawford, Bledsoe, Grant Hill, Matt Barnes at bench is clearly unreal.

Don't agree at all but the fact that you mentioned the Knicks specifically proves you think they are legitimate and thereby worth noting. Cool.

The Grizzlies are good but they are riding some unsustainable shooting percentages from their bench. I expect Pondexter and Bayless to crash down to Earth hard on their 3pt percentages. Neither of them have proven to be close to elite from long range. Ellington might be okay, but not 45% okay. Going into tonight's game, those three have combined for 48.6% 3pt on 9.1 attempts a game. If that continues, Memphis will be close to unbeatable. But it probably won't continue.

Rudy Gay's pushing 30% USG on sub-50% TS which is great for other teams. They kill you on the offensive boards and on turnovers which is nothing new. But I think their bench regresses a little and they will look much more beatable when it does.
