2011 NBA Playoffs: Memphis Grizzlies

This is a team I have underestimated. A team coached by Lionel Hollins has actually a chance to win the Western Conference finals. This tough-minded team is led by Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, two of the Grizzlies' top front-court players. They have also Mike Conley, a sturdy point guard, whose floor leadership and dribbling skills are greatly valued as well as Tony Allen's athletic defense and streaky shooting. Add to this Grizzlies team with guard/forward Shane Battier coming off the bench and power forward Darrell Arthur and you might have an excellent NBA title contender on your hands. They will pound and grind you, that is their game. They can beat you any way, with outside shooting or with paint scoring. Don't underestimate them.
