Michael Saenz, Sir Charles in Charge
Michael going off the board with the Grizzlies at No. 1. I do like this Memphis team and they are my sneaky pick to win the title. I am quietly picking them in all my pools just to be different. The whole Western Conference is a crapshoot of matchups.
But, as for the Magic. The coaching change did seem to add some energy and spirit to this team. They played a lot better in Friday and Sunday’s games, Borrego’s first two. And had some moments of fight in an otherwise forgettable game against the Wizards on Monday.
