1. Consistency

Head coach David Fizdale wants a bit more consistency out of his unit moving forward, and it’s hard to blame him.

Memphis has won games versus tough opponents like Golden State and Oklahoma City with immense effort and fundamental defense.

The Grizzlies have also lost games that should be easier wins versus teams like Orlando. A week before holding Russell Westbrook to zero assists in the Grizzlies’ first meeting with the Thunder, Memphis allowed Isaiah Thomas to score a career-high and complete a comeback in a home game they should’ve won. Improved effort and attention to detail in all facets of the game should lead to more wins in 2017.
