Memphis Grizzlies: 50-1

We have reached the initial team that will win a ring this year without fully shocking the people: the Memphis Grizzlies.
Rest guaranteed a championship for the Grizzlies, who barely made it into the postseason last season with a record of 50-32 (your 17th reminder the West is loaded), would be a surprise. Zach Randolph is 33, and Mike Miller, a key floor-spacing shooter in the past year’s underwhelming offense, followed LeBron James to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Scoring, as always, will probably be an issue for the Grizz.
However, this team will defend like mad, particularly with a slimmed-down Marc Gasol patrolling the midst forward of his 2015 free agency. Toss in Tony Allen, the NBA’s scariest perimeter stopper, and you have got the key components for a league-best defense.
Vince Carter remains a valuable wing defender who will run a pick-and-roll and hit the occasional three, and Mike Conley is a playoff-tested fighter who just keeps getting better.
And remember, we’ve noticed this Grizzlies core knock off the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder in playoff show over the previous four years. Nobody scares Memphis in the postseason.
If the Grizzlies can remain healthy and Gasol puts a significant year, they are a dark-horse contender.
