We have reached the initial team that will win a ring this season without fully shocking the populace: the Memphis Grizzlies.
Rest guaranteed a championship for the Grizzlies, who barely made it to the postseason last season with a list of 50-32 (the 17th reminder that the West is loaded), would be a surprise. Zach Randolph is 33, and Mike Miller, a key floor-spacing shot in the past year’s underwhelming crime, followed LeBron James to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Scoring, as always, will be a problem for the Grizz.
But this team will defend like crazy, particularly with a slimmed-down Marc Gasol patrolling the middle ahead of the 2015 free agency. Toss in Tony Allen, the NBA’s funniest perimeter stopper, and you’ve got the crucial components to get a league-best defense.
Vince Carter remains a valuable wing defender who can run a pick-and-roll and hit the occasional three, and Mike Conley is a playoff-tested fighter who just keeps getting better.
And remember, we’ve seen this Grizzlies core knock off the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder in playoff series within the previous four decades. Nobody scares Memphis from the postseason.
If the Grizzlies can remain healthy and Gasol puts a significant year, they’re a dark-horse contender.
