⭐️ A Memphis Mystery - Tom's Title Tiers #24
What happened in Memphis? One number may be telling.
The Memphis Grizzlies fired Taylor Jenkins on Friday. The timing seemed off. But not when you consider the statistical outlier I uncovered.
Welcome to another edition of Tom’s Title Tiers! A reminder: This is my subjective list based largely on objective data. This is not a pure, analytical ranking. You’re here because you want to know what I think, to get inside my brain a little bit. Consider this a weekly report of what I see on film; what I glean from the numbers; what I hear on the phone; what I read in the news; what I feel.
This week’s featured squad: the Memphis Grizzlies.
Here’s a quick rundown of each tier.

⭐️⭐️ So much has to break right.
⭐️ Sooo you’re saying there’s a chance.
