NBA small-market teams urge 30-team restart http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29251...nba-return

The Grizz should benefit either way as we had a brutal schedule remaining but those games were almost all road games out west. Playing those teams in Florida will increase our odds.

We should also have Winslow in the mix once we restart.

no matter how this shook out, we control our own destiny. lets do this.

btw - can someone give me an upvote. I've been stuck on '666' rep rating for a while. lol

I agree but this is just designed to include Zion in the playoffs.

I hope the Grizzlies have a huge chip on their shoulder.

They will need to, to beat both NO and the NBA officials trying to slip Zion in vs. LeBron

Good news is Winslow should be healthy.

I actually agree with the author of this piece.

We were so injured before the thing happened and now we're back healthy. We probably would have struggled to keep the 8th seed.

It's designed for a Memphis/New Orleans play in game(s)

We all know who the NBA wants in the playoffs.

Good thing about our Grizz is they play together as a team.

Second good thing for the Grizz is these are neutral site games.

Winslow is the X factor and likely 3rd good thing.

Bad thing is it took us awhile to hit stride this year.

I hope the oddsmakers are right ( they are uncanny) maybe it's just my bfs.

Other potential good news is if the Grizz miss out on the playoffs they might get lucky in the draft, otherwise we convey.

Not sure if this season was an anomaly for other west division contenders or we might surge even higher next season. It may actually be better to convey this season but Wiseman and Edwards are both tantalizing.

It will be interesting to see who reports in what kindof shape for this mini session and the outcomes.

NBA playoff predictions: No. 8 seeds and title favorites

Quote:Even though the Blazers are 3.5 games behind the Grizzlies (currently in the No. 8 spot), a couple of things help their case: Injured big men Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins are expected to return, and the NBA using win percentage gives them an edge in tiebreakers.

Given the parity here, a play-in series looks likely.

Portland Trail Blazers: 35.3%

Memphis Grizzlies: 32.4%

New Orleans Pelicans: 29.4%

San Antonio Spurs: 2.9%

Makes absolutely no sense. Grizzlies get back Jaren Jackson, Brandon Clarke and Winslow.

And now Kyrie Irving is trying to torpedo the return.

He's not even playing...like usual. As long as Lebron gives the okay they will play.
