The Grizzlies have announced their preseason schedule for 2017:
- Monday 10/2 vs. Orlando
- Wednesday 10/4 at Philadelphia
- Monday 10/9 at Atlanta
- Wednesday 10/11 vs. Houston
- Friday 10/13 vs. New Orleans
It will be interesting to see whether Orlando resembles a professional basketball team (I have a guess) but the marquee matchups here are obviously against the Rockets, now featuring Chris Paul, and the Pelicans, who are still trying to assemble some sort of wing rotation to surround their fearsome Anthony Davis/Demarcus Cousins frontcourt.
I’m a little disappointed we won’t get a chance to see preseason stalwarts like Flamengo or Maccabi Haifa, but it’s hard to argue with the lightened preseason load.
