A Microcosm of the 2015-16 Memphis Grizzlies Through the Art of Vine

Welp, here we are, folks. We've officially hit the point where we're so desperate for anything positive with the Grizzlies that even ineptitude followed by a mix of skill and more luck is cause to celebrate.




Listen, I get that Chalmers was attempting to miss the free throw in order to win the game, but that isn't the point. The point is that it's taking a decent-to-healthy amount of luck even to beat the mediocre teams right now. That is the tagline of the 2015-16 Grizzlies. The roster is limited. It can only win games one way, ugly and with a little luck (depending on the opponent, a lot of luck). The games have to be ugly, and almost everything has to go to script for them to win against .500 or better teams.

The bigger issue is that the Grizzlies have to keep winning with a limited roster on both the injury and talent fronts because any finish outside of the playoffs eliminates a draft pick for a team that isn't getting any younger. Well, at least we're playing the younger guys and have hope for tomorrow...
