Could the Memphis Grizzlies have taken out Thunder if Morant didn't get hurt? They were blowing Thunder out in game 3 before Ja came out and almost won game 4 without him.....Morant said he had "Figured Out" the OKC Thunder. Morant knew the secret recipe to defeat OKC....who win Grizzlies vs Pacers?
Who do the matchups favor in a Grizzlies vs Pacers NBA Finals??
Who would win the series? They were 1-1 record vs each other in regular season.
Morant said he figured out the Thunder and knew the secret ingredients he had the secret recipe to knock out OKC Thunder.
So Lets say Memphis takes down Thunder and then ride that wave of momentum to catapult themselves into the Finals as the 3rd ever 8 seed, following in footsteps of Knicks in 99 and Heat in 23.
So it would have been the 50 win 4 seeded Pacers vs 48 win 8th seeded Grizzlies in Finals.
Educated Guess Who wins that series??
Grizzlies would have taken out Thunder, Nuggets and Wolves to reach Finals so they are no joke by this point.
Morant Bane Triple J and ROY contenders Wells + Edey were likely all red hot not to mention Scottie Pippen Jr being a terror off the bench.
Grizzlies were a loaded team this season very deep very talented.
Bucks vs Grizzlies was my finals pick before the season started.
