    He was on our local station 1410 discussing Rudy Gay and Hasheem Thabeet (both will be doing something at uconn) and said the grizzlies will make the playoffs. Then said " I guarantee it" Also said he has a few things in the works. They quickly discussed the teams the graze are fighting with and the host said the blazers are over 500 and gm says " we dont think it will last"


    Wow

    I heard he's going to sign Darius Miles again. It's all over, folks.

    Well, I guess Chris Wallace is going to get fired this year.

    If this isn't a sign that Cho doesn't do anything, I don't know what is!

    The fact that the Grizzlies GM says his team is going to make the playoffs and offers his opinion that he doesn't think the Blazers will continue to win is a sign that Cho isn't going to do anything??? I guess I'm not seeing the logic leading to that conclusion.

    What a weird station in Connecticut, getting Heat and Memphis rumors on.

    I had hoped that the comment didn't need the blue font of mockery included.

    Big deal.

    I said before the season they'd make the playoffs.

    If needed, Zach will do it singlehandedly.

    He has improved his game and improved his team as a leader, while we have fallen quite a bit and have no leader at all.

    Yet last year the Grizzlies were 8 games below the 8th seeded team.

    Not even Zach's agent would claim he is a leader of anything but the Hoop Family.

    The Grizz are still a mediocre team that may have come up with some impressive wins so far this season, but at the end of the day they are still on pace to end the season with LESS wins then they had last year. All Wallace is trying to do is capitalize on the popularity that they are receiving at the moment to try and fill up a stadium that barely gets 14k a game so he can keep his job.
    When it comes down to it several teams in the top 8 will have to have pretty big fallings out for the Grizz to get in. The three teams that look like they could fall out of the top 8 are unfortunately us, Denver (depending on what they lose with the Melo deal), New Orleans (who seem to have fallen off since that amazing start and are looking about as stagnant as we are).
    Even with one of those teams falling off the Grizz will have to beat out both Houston, and Phoenix. Can anyone realistically say that the Grizz are better then any of those 5 other teams listed? Because I don't think the Grizz are even better then Phoenix.

    If no one else is going to say it, I think this is a spot on impersonation.
    I was shocked when I saw the poster.


    Repped.
