GBB Roundtable: 2020-2021 Season Preview Part I
Share this story
Merry Grizzmas Eve, everyone!
The Memphis Grizzlies are back in action in games that actually count Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. As others release their preseason previews, a familiar refrain rings out - the Grizzlies are either not expected to do very much, or they’re being underestimated. Memphis should be used to this treatment by now.but ironically, that evaluation of the current state of things for the Grizzlies shouldn’t be as infuriating as perhaps it was during the Grit and Grind Era. As the likes of Zach Lowe and Chris Herrington have pointed out, progress for this team will likely not be linear. Improvement toward the goal of the next great Grizzlies team won’t necessarily mean a certain playoff spot after last season’s play-in. Growth and health should be the goal - and it appears to this point the Grizzlies front office agrees.
