Following the trades of Tony Allen and Zach Randolph, sports pundits questioned whether the Memphis Grizzlies could even grind their way to the playoffs this year, calling the new roster a list of “unknowns” and “cast-offs.”
With a 3-1 record to start the season, it seems Memphis may have pulled a pump fake better than the one Marc Gasol recently popped against the Warriors’ Klay Thompson.
Sure, many more wins are needed before we can claim a successful season, but fans are hopeful the team’s surprise showing will continue, proving Memphis still has grit, even without the Grindfather.
