When you look at the Grizzlies scoring stats one can't help but be impressed.
Conley 8.7
Mayo 18.1
Gay 20.5
Randolph 17.9
Gasol 14.8
Based only on those numbers this has the looks of a solid offensive team. Dig a little deeper into the numbers and you start to see some Clipper-like shortcomings. Specifically a 108.7 points-allowed average and an 0-6 record on the road. Seems they can use a little fire-power coming off the bench to compliment a solid starting five.
