Would love to hear your thoughts!
Ja missed 21 games last year and Adams was out for half the season and they were still the 2 seed at 51 wins. similar injury concerns can be found with the Clippers and they’re a more refined team than Mavs/Thunder.
Exactly Bane JJJ Clarke JA and Adams all missed over 20 games last season and the Grizzlies STILL ended up being the 2 seed.
I mean this year they have to start without Ja, Adams and Clarke + Tyus Jones, who was a big reason why the Grizzlies were able to be good without Ja, left.
I don’t believe that Smart and Bane will be able to carry that offense at a high level and when the west is so deep every little thing like this can hurt a team a lot.
