IF anyone told me that the Memphis Grizzlies would be among the top teams in the Western Conference before the start of the season, I would've thought them delusional. Without a bona fide superstar and with one of the youngest rosters in the league, the Grizzlies were projected to be among the cellar dwellers. But like most predictions that go wrong, the Grizzlies have entered the top 3 in the tough conference with an 11-game winning streak.

More impressively, the Grizzlies have catapulted up the standings with quality victories over top teams like Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, Suns, Nets, Heat and Jazz.
