Oh yeah I guess it’s only ten more games until Ja is back, time flies. I’m less confident they can get even to a play-in spot because in 46 games last year without Steven Adams they were only 25-21 including the playoffs, and the top 11 teams in the West right now all look relatively competitive. I think Adams was just hugely important as a screen setter and especially offensive rebounder on a team that just does not shoot well. But as a neutral I’m excited to just see better basketball from them with Ja.
I wouldn’t bet a single dollar that the Grizzlies even make it to the play-in this year. 3-12 start is bad, and if its 20 (ish) losses when Morant comes back the season is over.
Ja is back soon. They’ll still be devastated by injuries but he can steer them back on track to maybe a 6 seed or play in spot.
