Everything on this thread is a terrible nightmare. (rocking back and forth in the corner) saying "Please God this must be a dream!"
ZBo has 30 & 16 tonight, hit the go ahead basket with about 30 secs left. Now it's going to OT. Grizzlies are going to be good this season. It will be tough for any team, including the Blazers, to make the playoffs this season. I hope our guys aren't taking a playoff berth for granted.
I'm watching the game right now. I'm telling you, Memphis could cause some teams problems this year. They had on the floor- Gasol, ZBO, Gay, Mayo and A.I. Not a lot of D being played, but that is a ton of firepower!
We'll see what the numbers are like when AI comes into the mix. The Grizz might be the worst defensive team in the league.
Iverson is my least-favorite NBA player ever. I hope that Memphis cuts his ass and improves and he sits home because no one in the NBA is stupid enough to give him big minutes. Ed O.
He's one of the greatest players in the history of the game and he wasn't on the floor when the game was on the line.
Not after a game where we give up 74 and hold Durant to 3-21. It's all about the ebb and flow, if we give up 110 tonight and lose, then we'll be the worst.
This is going to be a circus, and not going to end real well. At least he's made the Grizzlies somewhat watchable now as we wait for the next blowup to happen.
I really thought we ruined Zach's game. He was a freaking monster when his role was garbageman. When we stripped the roster of talent and came up with the idea that he should be a #1 option, he ignored so much of what made him effective. He took the criticism that Rasheed refused to put the team on his back too far. He thought he had to carry 100% of the offensive load. As a result he ignored defense and became Stat-Bo. He was always a knucklehead, but if he could have just been limited to crashing the boards and scoring in the low post, I think he would have embraced being a Brian Grant/Buck Williams-like player. Instead, he got the max contract and thought people wanted him for only 47 feet.
More like NONE. They just gave up 127 points to the worst team in the league whose previous season high was 94. So far, they are scoring an average of 107 PPG. That sounds impressive - until you realize they are giving up 115.8 PPG.
You know when talking about one of the worst defensive teams in the league, that is a plural statement, as in there are several.
And the proper response by a vet who has been injured all pre-season and the first three games of the regular season is to bitch about it to the meida after his first game back . . . and first game played for his new team. I'm guessing the Griz are regretting the signing.
I partially agree with this. Zbo was the ultimate garbage guy and was great in that roll. But I don't think you can blame the Blazers for his lack of work ethic and dedication. He should know what he needs to do to be successful. It seems like he's always been a selfish person and the max contract just validated him in his eyes. If he would have never gotten that contract, I still think he would have done his best to earn that contract through scoring point and grabbing boards.
