The nice thing about the Grizzlies is that they are usually douchebag free in terms of the roster.
The only teams I think can own Portland are SA and Memphis. They are teams to fear.
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.
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.

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.

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.
Thread title made me laugh a little for some reason.
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.
[QUOTE=mattvNJ]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.[/QUOTE]
:lol :lol
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)

Which is hilarious because of Z-Bo.
Z-Bo :bowdown:
[QUOTE=Milbuck]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.[/QUOTE]
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.
