Last season, the Grizzlies improved drastically, and reached a record of 40-42, a 16 game improvement from the year before. Zach Randolph exploded last year, making his first all star team. This summer the team signed Rudy Gay to a max contract, signaling their committment to him as one of the leagues rising stars. There’s no reason not to expect the Grizzlies to finish above .500 this season, as their chemistry continues to get better and they make their ascent into the better teams in the Western Conference. Had they been in the east last year, they would have been a 5 or 6 seed probably, but the rugged Western Conference poses challenges for even the pretty decent teams like the Grizz.
