Memphis for real? Almost losing to SHORT-HANDED Nuggets

[TyLawson3]

Nuggets playing tonight resting their 3 best players (Kenneth Faried, Ty Lawson, and Danilo Gallinari) in Memphis, getting blown out and came back to tie in the 4th. Right now trailing by a few points.

Is Memphis for real? Crowd cheering like they just won the Finals after every basket in the 4th.:roll:

Grizz have always had a hard time playing against shit opponents. They are more likely to better against the best teams, than they are against the non playoff teams. They don't beat the worst teams by 20, the middle teams by 10 and have close games with the top teams. They have close games with everyone but a tendancy to slack off against the weak teams. There is usually no intensity in those games and they feed off the intensity.

Didn't see the game today but it's been this way for a while.

And also, they haven't been playing great since All Star break. Seems like they could be trying to cruise into the playoffs because they ain't playing anywhere near as good as in early months of the season. Expect to see some games where the players sit out and rest for no reason.

You'd think they'd have dropped to 4th by now by how they've played but they are still in 2nd, so maybe the other West teams are cruising to?

Starting to make more sense why I missed the game? The games are boring to watch right now, it's all just about preparing and waiting for the playoffs to start.

Grizz are coasting. Warriors almost lost the Lakers at home tonight as well... so what.

The Grizz are built for the playoffs, not the regular season. The fact that they have the 2nd best record in the stacked Western Conference is scary.
