Ooooh man. i started the season with the ilussion, with everything. now, im wathing that game after a party and....its so sad, maybe, AND ONLY MAYBE, we could have a great team in a few years but look that game.

NO ONE here means less interesting game as well!

WE can not simply go back in the past to those days when we have 49 win games.

Other game, another lose, the world keeps turning and tomorrow itll be another day.

GW, give us back the ilussion!

Basically since the Pau trade two weeks ago. The game thread traffic has gone colder than an ice queen's cold shoulder. This is the second season that the Grizz have endured another comatose season and it may be couple of yrs, if not 3yrs until we see the Grizz finally wake the hell up from NBA hibernation. Sure the fans here still lurk around, but what really exciting another looking at a comatose patient? Nothing but the waiting, hoping, and the promises that the patient might eventually wake the hell up. Until then, it's another day, another game, and another season.

Yes thats so sad, that makes us want to watch some other games but not the grizzs ones.

Take a look at the future, the better free agent we could get is the level of darko and if they come, it would be by overpaying them.

Abou the draft...we are not lucky at all. from the draft, the best thing we ever get was gasol, from that...well, we got shine battier, a bit of rudy guy by losing shane...but our GM never had vision enough to get good good starters.

So, im losing the taste for that.

I guess i got to look for another team, and from now on, orlando,wizards and lakers have my support.

Well, there is this Beasley kid that we have a shot at. In other news, the Sonics scored an upset last night, moving the Grizzlies into the 3rd slot. Don't forget that we held onto Mike Miller, so if the T'Wolves happen to get that first slot, we might be able to work out a move to Beasley imo...

now if only we could bring in a nice FA (like Iggy)...

Conley Jr.
Iggy
Gay
Beasley
Darko (yea, I really hope we flush this guy, but it ain't happening)

But, if we actually luck up and score the number 1 slot, then we can trade Miller for a first (probably somewhere in the late lottery) and have:

Conley Jr.
Iggy
Gay
Beasley
Best center available (probably whoever is left from Jordan and Hibbert... I'm betting Thabeet moves up into the top 7 or 8)

It could work out like that. But considering how this team ended up with the 4th overall pick last draft. I won't be holding my breath. Miami have to get theirs first since Dwyane Wade is one of the stars. As for the Grizz's chances of getting Michael Beasley. I haven't seen the guy play personally. I normally wait until March Madness when I'll check out the players and who's who on the draft boards so I can get draw my comparisons about those players thay way.

I'd love to see the Grizz land the 1st pick and trade up (using Miller) to get Eric Gordon as well...
