If the Grizzlies make the Finals, and I am provided the costume, I will show up to a bar wearing a big blue bear costume.


Looks like y'all need to cheer for the Grizz this year

I think they are fine if they run into PHX or NOLA, but if it is the Spurs or Thunder they might get knocked out early.

Bogut is so huge for them, but it is so hard to have any faith in him being healthy for the playoffs.

Western Conference playoffs are so damn match up dependent it is hard to make any bold predictions. Basically this:

here’s the long and short of it. No one in the WEst wants to play anyone in the West, except the Grizzlies want to play the Clippers.

That's great. I seriously will hate any matchup. I think I'm pulling for a Texas team because that would be fun and easy travel in the first round. There is a decent rivalry between the Texas trio.

Aint this the damn truth

EDIT: And I disagree with you. I think there is a legit chance that all Western Conference 1st round series go 7 games.

Phoenix is playing at a high level right now, and Anthony Davis is a top 3 player at the moment.

In a playoff series, I would give both a realistic shot to beat GS.

How terrible is it watching Josh Smith on a nightly basis?

Media darlings like OKC and POR and GSW end up with favorable scheduling every year. The Grizz always get shafted in that department. This year I think we have to play every western opponents 4 times except for Minny, Utah, and PHX. Toughest schedule possible.

Meanwhile, OKC only has to see the Spurs, Clippers, and Rockets 3 times a piece. How about that?

It's awesome about half the time, and horrible the other half. I still have some faith that McHale can be the Josh whisperer. The greatest 6th man PF of all-time should be able to convince Smith to be a great 6th man PF, right?

I just hate watching him because he has so much talent and athleticism, but takes 2.5 threes a game at 20%. What's even worse are the 20 footers. He is at least willing to pass even if he isn't very good at it.
