I was not a fan of the trade. I think they set themselves back years. They simply don't have the firepower to win a series in the West. Gasol and Zebo have to both play out of their minds for 7 games to have a chance and I don't see that happening.

Two of the Grizzlies wins against the Warriors were when they had Rudy Gay.
You act like Rudy was some sort of superstar perennial All-Star, we are 9-2 since we traded him.

I wouldn't put too much stock into their two wins against the Lakers either.
lol ok. It's still the same team.

So like 2 years ago with no Rudy when they beat the number 1 seed Spurs and took the Thunder to 7 games?
Gotcha

This 8 game streak they are on is fool's gold. Only 2 winning teams during that stretch. One against the at the time slumping Warriors as I mentioned and the other against the inconsistent Nets.

So if they would have played the Lakers during that time it wouldn't have mattered since they are below .500? You think a sub 500 team is better than the team with the 5th best record in the NBA? Get real.
This is all kinds of stupid.

I watch a ton of basketball and have seen them play with their new squad a couple of times. Not a fan of the additions either. Tay Tay (was good in like 03') and Austin Daye both blow. Bayless can get hot at times. Conley is okay but the team is a whole lotta meh. We'll see what happens in the playoffs, but I see the writing on the wall and am very confident in this prediction. I'm going to make some good $$ fading this team.

quote:You have vastly overrated Rudy Gay. He's shooting 40% on the year. His TS% for the year is 47%, and for his career is 52%. He's a scorer who can't score. The Grizzlies freed themselves from his chucking, and their w/l record since then is evidence of this.

bounced in the 1st round

They simply don't have the firepower to win a series in the West.

The Heat will win by 10+.

With Gay: Grizz > Warriors, Lakers
Without: Grizz < Warriors, Lakers
They have no shot at beating the top3 in the West but I felt like he put them over these teams. I don't put much stock into the regular season stats. Playoffs is a whole new type of game and they will miss him.

exactly. it is a half-court slugfest and memphis has the most potent 4-5 combo in the league

he never carried them very far in the playoffs when he was there

Gizz have a brutal stretch of games starting March 12. Might see an indicator of how good this team really is.
I liked what I saw last year against the Clips.

If the playoffs started today they would play the Nuggets. You think that would be a half court slugfest? Denver would steal 1 of 2 on the road and run them out the gym in Denver.

I agree on the 1st round exit. Not enough offense. Not enough bench.

i think we have 5-8 years of grizz-heat and the heat have the upper hand now simply because lebron guards kevin better than kevin guards lebron. that can change over time, though
You mean thunder-heat?
