I think the Hawks will fall victim to what's plagued the Grizzlies in the playoffs and that's not having that go-to scorer at the end of games.
This is such a hilarious false narrative I don't know how to respond exactly.
First off this has never been an issue for the Grizzlies. They've been a top 5 clutch time +/- time going on 3 or 4 seasons. The Spurs are the only team that's been better than the Grizzlies in that area.
Secondly on the Hawks the same thing applies. They have multiple guys who can knock down open shots and they move the ball extremely well. They have no issues at the end of games.
You know who is one of the worst teams in the league this season at the end of close games? OKC. Y'all have TWO late game scorers and have absolutely sucked in those situations.
That narrative of needing a go to guy late in games is so overrated.

I hate to bring the Pistons into this, but that certainly didn't hurt their championship chances. Why? In crunchtime, they had FOUR go-to scorers. Tougher to defend, than isolating Durant or GOATbrook.

Then why haven't the Grizzlies made it out of the West even once?
They had the opportunity on a silver plater 2 years when Westbrook got hurt.
Hell, last year, they come home leading 3-2 vs OKC and get curb stomped in a potential clincher in round 1.
I'll hang up and listen.
