Memphis Grizzlies - Power Ranking

Week Rank Rating Team Record Comment

4 23 26 Mem 4-8 Rocky Balboa - Rocky. I couldnt of done a write up about big time movie characters and not included the famous Rocky Balboa. These boxing movies are some of the greats. Fun fact Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky and had some troubles find a studio to produce it because he would only accept it if he played Rocky. Which he obviously finally did. Stallone when on to write and direct 4 out of the 4 sequel movies. Rocky is a true underdog story, showing will and drive to compete and win against the best boxers in the world.

3 22 26 Mem 4-8 Hard to pin point what exactly Memphis projects to be this season. Injuries to key depth pieces seem to be hindering the Grizzlies. Still, this team seems to be underachieving.

2 23 21 Mem 3-5 "Holding Out for a Hero" - Bonnie Tyler- They are needing to find a hero for this team not sure why nobody has taken on the role of being that No. 1 guy but they sit at 3-7 right now with no true 1st option. Maybe they'll look to trade for one now that they are below the 2nd apron and have some breathing room.

1 24 6 Mem 1-3 I'm not sure what to make of the Grizzlies. Rootsey was super impressive all off-season, guiding his team out of financial hell while keeping the roster competitive. However, I feel this Grizzlies team may pale in comparison to past editions; while saving the teams finances and drafting great young players were great decisions and critical actions to perform, other teams were fully upgrading to their final form. Slow burn for the Grizz, perhaps?
