The Memphis Grizzlies have lost to two non-playoff teams and two playoff teams so far this season. No matter how good Marc Gasol has looked, this team isn’t anything better than mediocre at this point in the season.
After the big money that they fed Mike Conley and Chandler Parsons, that has to be considered disappointing. In fairness, Parsons is barely making his way back from injury. He’s played 21 minutes in a Grizzlies uniform. He will get better. So should the Grizzlies.
So far, though, this doesn’t look like a team that is going to make much noise in the West. Just looking at their roster, that isn’t great.
