seems like you have the same general feeling abt MEM as me and a handful of other posters. Watch out they get pretty riled up.

The safe bet is Memphis wins somewhere just north of 50. Finishes middle of the pack among western conference playoff teams and loses a hard fought series in the 1st or 2nd round of the playoffs.

I don't mean to rag on Memphis in my ratings. I always love their team and root for them whenever the Pels are out of the playoffs, but they have to be one of the 5 oldest teams. Gasol will be 31 for most of the season. Allen 34. Ditto ZBo. Green 29.

Torturous team to watch despite what some ESPN franchise watchability ranking from 2012 says which I know RTR is going to cite.

I don't really dislike them, but to me it seems like it would be hard to get excited about them year after year.

they are so boring even their season ticket holders are over this boring arse team and their faux hardness. They're so lame I fricking hate that "gritty" shite - go away with your racially tense city and return to having the worst fans of any major league team in NA


Jesus where to start. First off they just set a franchise record for sell outs last season.

This city absolutely adores this team.

Lagging indicator - fan support will only decline Memphis and Atlanta duke it out for worst fans in league and they see the writing on the wall

I have never claimed them to be a fun team to watch, though Gasol is a joy to watch.

It is more the personality of the team that people enjoy here. Stoic Conley, TA running around screaming First team, ZBo bully balling.

Brandon Wright lobs will be a very welcome addition to the entertainment value

I'm so glad that Houston doesn't have a player that runs around screaming about individual accomplishments in the middle of games.

They will be good if they can keep their core together for years to come but not next year imo.

Like where in the world are you getting this from?

This is a basketball crazed city. Local ratings are great, always at the top for draft ratings, and ratings are usually great for the NBA in general here.

Hell fricking #Grizzsummerleague was trending here yesterday

They don't have a good backcourt. Not bad, but not above average. Their starting 3-5 is really good. Booker is a good backup 4.

Gun to my head, they're the 8 seed this season. But they're 2 years away from scaring the top teams in the West, and are far from a guarantee to make the postseason this year.

About as riled up as a Houston fan getting worked up about Morey losing another GM award

Most of the team is a grind, but Gasol is a delight to watch.
