MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES Advanced Stats: PACE #14 94.7 OFFENSE: #16 104.4 DEFENSE: #8 102.5 In the first half of last season, Memphis looked like to go for a pretty average season for them, with a 19-23 record by January 19.

After this bizarre trade which made the Lakers so much stronger that made them go to the NBA finals, Memphis gave a clear... Read more

Western Conference: 15. Minnesota Timberwolves I've placed the Wolves in the last position in my Power Ranking, but don't get me wrong, as this team had a good month of January and February, way better than a good number of teams.
