Grizzlies taking the league by storm this season

[SpecialQue]

Tonight they sent the Rockets home with dangling rectums. Currently the best team in the league. Look forward to them being a top 3 team.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

nothing quiet about it if nikkas been payin attention.........ive said for a while that a healthy Memphis is a 60 win team

[Eric Cartman]

They lost to the Bucks.

The Bucks.

[Legends66NBA7]

Looking forward to Wednesday's game. Hope the boys are ready for these guys.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Not really raping. Their MOV was like 5 points coming into tonight.

[SpecialQue]

They lost to the Bucks.

The Bucks.

And they just beat the Rockets, who before tonight only lost one game.

What's your point?

[deja vu]

Let's see if they can knock off the Spurs in the playoffs.

[Magic731]

They lost to the Bucks.

The Bucks.
Off the back of a 3 game road trip on a back to back and they still only lost by a point after a 3 point play at the end. Oh also this is the 2014-15 NBA season, not 2013-14. The Bucks really aren't that bad.

if this is your argument quit watching basketball. Any team on any given night can lose to any one. Also they lost on i believe a buzzer beater by Knight.

Grizz look phenomenal. Offense/Defense running on full cylinders Jorger(SP) is doing a great job, learned a lot from Lionel and is showing it.

Excited for this team this season, since i dont have the nets to really hope for much from.

With the Lakers shitting the bed so far with no hope of improvement, I'm fully on the Grizzlies bandwagon. The only time I root against them is when they play the Lakers.

Grizz have always been my west team, Because a few years back when the nets were struggling to win 15 games I liked how defensive minded and the promise of conley/gasol(s) looked like it could be something.

Glad theyre growing together

Oh stop it.

Watch the games..the Bucks are a decent team, vastly better than last year (when they were slaughtered by injuries), and it's not even close. #2 in DRTG, #3 defense in points allowed, #4 in opponent FG%, #8 in opponent TOV%, etc.

[YouGotServed]

lmfao @ "quietly." I understand Kobe fan bois rarely watch basketball outside of Kobe but damn. Step it up. Any decent basketball fan knows Memphis has been beasting so far. No one outside of L.A is surprised.

:oldlol:

[buddha]

the Rockets have been ice cold the past 3 games. I think when they are normal they could take em with ease.

[AussieG]

The nice thing about the Grizzlies is that they are usually douchebag free in terms of the roster.

[RoseCity07]

The only teams I think can own Portland are SA and Memphis. They are teams to fear.

[ronnymac]

MC is probably the best Point in the league and that is no joke. He is playing at an superstar level which has elevated that team. Another impressive thing is their bench output. You have Beno, Lee,Leure, Koustas and Pondexter playing really at a high level which gives the opposition no respite.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Honestly I think this Grizzlies team is great but they still have many deficiencies. They lack scoring options, and the bench is decent but the rotation is very short. I can't see them reaching the WCF.

[Milbuck]

:oldlol:
Bucks vs Grizzlies : 93-92, W

Rockets vs Grizzlies : 93-119, L......Harden 6 points 1-8 FG

They've done it before.

[TaLvsCuaL]

And they can do it again, but I think many people like to overreact and take things out of proportion. Memphis is a good team, but there is some teams as good as them. It is too early, and also this year the west is very strong.

[Milbuck]

:lol

i said he was easy top three a week ago and was laughed at just becuase they arent exciting or blown by espn their players get constantly neglected and underrated.

Good post. Pondexter isnt really playing at that high of a level, could be better. But they squeeze the most out of all those guys. Love the addition of lee, really aided in their lack of perimeter scoring.

[TonyBulls91]

Thread title made me laugh a little for some reason.

[sammichoffate]

Vince Carter had only 2 points and they still won by double digits. This team's depth is pretty damn good, at least for now. If they had a Rip Hamilton-type player, this team would be a contender no question. They actually remind me of that 04' Pistons squad, no superstar and suffocating defense along with unselfish passing.

Come playoff time, they need one more perimeter scorer that can create offense. Otherwise they are who we thought they were, a second round exit, given that they don't face a healthy thunder team which will make them another first round exit.

They are 5th best in the west when it's all set and done (Spurs, thunder, clippers, golden state, memphis)

[SugarHill]

Which is hilarious because of Z-Bo.

The Bucks really have improved, Knight is playing amazing. I want to see Giannis blow up, Milwaukee will be the OKC of the East.

Knight ~ Westbrook
Parker ~ Green
Sanders ~ Ibaka
Giannis ~ Durant

If they live up to the potential.

[Al Thornton]

they still struggle to score 90 points

[UK2K]

Pretty sure the Rockets are gassed.

Beverley just came back. No Jones. 2 of their starters lately were in the D league not that long ago, and nearly everyone on their bench was in the D league not that long ago.

11 games in 20 days, 7 of them being on the road. 4 games in the last 5 days, 3 of those being on the road.

Until Jones comes back, we wont really see how good the Rockets can be.

Memphis on average shoots 44%. They shot 54% tonight. Memphis averages 96 points per game. Tonight they scored 119. They've played 4 in a row at home, and havent been on the road in 10 days.

Dont think this game is indicative of anything.

[Pointguard]

Memphis is just flat out playing better team ball, on both sides of the ball, than any other team. Its not close. They are fun to watch even if you don't care for any of their players. But, I have to admit I like seeing Vince having fun.

[sportjames23]

Grizzlies quietly raping the league



Kobe taking notes. He knows if he had been quiet with that white girl, he coulda avoided going to court.

[Milbuck]

Knight ~ Westbrook
Parker ~ Green
Sanders ~ Ibaka

:applause:

I can only hope Giannis becomes 80% of the player KD is though. He's coming along nicely this year. Right around where Paul George was his 2nd year, though a year younger. It pissed me off at first, but I'm growing to love what Kidd is doing..dude is playing his vets and making his young guys earn their minutes. You can tell it lit a fire under Giannis, dude went from coming off the bench, to putting up 16/6 on 53% shooting his last 5 games, now he's starting. Hopefully Jabari does the same.

[Akrazotile]

Lets just hope the Grizz dont rat out Shaq afterward

[All Net]

Edited for obvious reasons

They look great so far

[masonanddixon]

Dallas is the one team that can beat them for sure in a series.

Otherwise they are looking like the cream of the crop out West thus far.

[Done_And_Done]

Oh you just wait until they encounter the wrath of my Raptors on Wednesday. Them Grizzlies better bring the booty stitches with them to the cold north.

Jokes aside,

I would actually be extremely thrilled to pull out a win against these guys. The Griz have been laying the pipe on everyone this year.

Booty stitches boys... Booty stitches

[MMM]

The Grizz have their flaws but what makes their holes any more glaring than their competition???

Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, Golden State have their share of flaws but more importantly they can be upset in the first round because how competitive the West.

[I<3NBA]

let's pray they don't meet OKC in the playoffs. another series would get stolen from them.

I think Kidd is not an excellent X and O coach (duh) but he really understands how players think IMO

[LONGTIME]

Second round exit.

theyve had the same core pieces (Marc, Conley, ZBo, Toney) before Hollinger was there
