Will Youth And Inexperience Catch Up To This Team In The Postseason?
The NBA playoffs are a much different animal than that of the regular season and experience really helps pave the way for championship teams come time for the playoffs.
Only three players on the Memphis Grizzlies roster have at least 5 years of playing experience at the NBA level and being the second-youngest team in the league behind the Oklahoma City Thunder, there are definitely some concerns about how the Grizzlies will overcome obstacles in the postseason.

Getting to the playoffs last season and winning Game 1 on the road in Utah was definitely a big motivating factor for this young team and that win has already given them confidence this season, but until we actually see the Memphis Grizzlies in the playoffs this year, it is hard to put 100% confidence in them.
