Damn shame PHX is out and MEM is in

[ChrisKreager]

Instead of fun, gun, unpredictability, and fearlessness with a team that could have given the Spurs fits, we get the most boring non-lottery team in the West. Really, the only West team that's no fun to watch- the Memphis Grizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzlies.

So, enjoy those games of Mike Conley maybe doing something good, throw it into the boring big men, and hope it's not brick city.

The Suns fell behind by 15 at times and they were never out of it.

But put them down 20 against the Spurs? Good-bye, Charlie.

I feel like nobody outside of Memphis is happy Boring Ball is in.

I hope it's 4 and out- the faster we can get the 1 really unwatchable West team out, the better.

Sorry, but Grit and Grind Is Yawn and Snore to me.

I like the Grizz. Love Z-Bo, Conley, Marc and Tony Allen.

Probably take the Spurs to 6 games doe. Grizzlies are a more dangerous 8th seed than the Suns.

OP is a moron
Grizz are pretty cool... how you not gonna be excited last year's WCF team made it in :

[DMAVS41]

The Grizzlies would have won 55 or more games with a healthy Gasol.

They will likely end up the 7 seed too...unless they want the Spurs...which I don't see why they would in this case.

Wednesday will be interesting...both teams have a much better chance against the Thunder imo. Wonder if they will go all out and play for it...or will one or both of the teams rest guys.

I don't think we've lost to them in a couple of seasons.

I've watched quite a bit of Memphis this year, and they really don't look like that physical/bruiser team their reputation lends them. It's probably because they've tried expanding their game out to the 3 point line (their lack of 3 point shooters is what killed them off against the Spurs this year).

If the Spurs don't sweep, it'll go to five, max.

I'm sure the Phoenix/Spurs series would have been funner to watch though.

Personnel-wise, this is the best Grizz team ever. Lee & Miller upped the shooting and we finally have a solid backup PG and C.

The problem is the coach. His rotations are horrible; the Grizzlies are notorious for losing comfortable 4th quarter leads, and he still waits til the 6 min mark or under to re-insert Conley & Gasol. Every fan at the forum knows it, and he's not held in high regard here. They no longer have Lionel riding their asses on defense.

Don't think Lionel is an elite coach, but he's very good and a great disciplinarian. A great example of players giving the most respect to coaches that have played the game.

I feel even more bad for Phoenix that EC teams clearly worse than them are making it into the playoffs. Grizz making it is not a fluke. Atlanta, in the 8th seed, won 37 games

Speak for yourself ***. As a basketball fan, I would much rather see the ball being pounded in the post by quality Big men and see them go to work. I like seeing a TEAM, dump it inside. I like watching post games and good footwork, etc.

Don't when watch the play offs. Go rent NBA JAM

[HylianNightmare]

dont sleep on the griz

[cos88]

no it's not any shame. they had it in their hands and lost to both dallas and memphis.

[Jlamb47]

Grizz is more dangerous then the suns. Grizz is also a better playoff team.

[ABfor3]

I want the Griz to beat the Mavs tomorrow so Dallas gets the 8th seed and we can see a legendary Dirk vs Duncan matchup for one last time

[Buzissa]

Memphis is more dangerous than the average 7th/8th seed. I think they are more of a threat for SA/OKC than the Mavs.
The West playoffs are going to be really fun to watch.

[Akrazotile]

OP is many things, not the least of which being an idiot, and a ph@ggot.


But anyway, I really hope the Grizz end up playing the Thunder in the first round. I think they have a legit chance of winning that series. Plus, becuase I'm in Texas, a Mavs-Spurs series would be fun.

It sucks because I'd actually like to see the Grizz, Mavs, and Spurs all win their opening series, but unfortunately some combination of the two will be matched up against each other in the first round.
