I think the Grizzlies would beat every team except the Warriors. If Steven Adams and Ja Morant played all the games the Grizzlies might also beat the Warriors.

Poeple picking the Celtics to win act like the Warriors have not played anybody. I think the Grizzlies are somebody.
Grizzlies seem to play harder when Ja Morant is injured. The offense does not stand around waiting for Ja Morant to do his thing when Ja Morant is injured. Grizzlies need to play with Ja Morant the way they play without Ja Morant.
Celtics pickers think the Warriors have not faced a power pair like Horford and Robert Williams. Are Horford and Robert Williams really better than Jaren Jackson and Steven Adams?

Disclosure, I am a Warriors fan.

I do not. The Celtics were the one team I did not think the Grizzlies had any chance of beating in a playoff series.

IF the good version of Brooks showed up for 4 games then I think we would of had a decent chance assuming a healthy Ja. However I think the best we could have hoped for is two good Brooks games. I think we lose 4-2 with this year's squad and the way the Celtics are clicking. We are another year of experience and likely at least one starting position upgrade(SF or PF/C) before I would declare we are likely to beat anyone in the finals.

I'm not sure but very much appreciate the love! It would be a toss up just like us playing the Warriors is a toss up. Brooks could maybe stop Brown but I don't know how we would best stop Tatum. Anderson? JJJ? JJJ is best optimized in a help position as opposed to being on the ball plus he fouls too much but he still may be our best option. I think we match up best against the Warriors though. Told fans of other teams all during our series that you'd look much better when you weren't playing us and I thought that held true. Memphis just has your number lately it seems like kinda like the Wolves have ours. Rooting for the Warriors in the finals!
