Biggest Disappointment: Offense still is lacking

The Memphis Grizzlies have the No. 1 defense and have the best record in the NBA (8-1), along with the Houston Rockets. Although, their offensive game leaves much to be desired, as has been the case with this team for the last few years.

They rank 24th in points per game and are an average shooting team at best. Luckily, the Grizzlies defense has been so good that they haven’t need much offense thus far.

Sooner or later though, like in the playoffs, that could prove to be a problem going forward.
