Zbo's jersey will be retire by the Grizzlies as well. It was mentioned back in the offseason.

Awesome. Glad to know we are properly honoring our guys. Could be a while before we attain the same level of success that we once had.

That's my feeling as well. We're only two games into the season and some of the ppl in Memphis are declaring David Fizdale a genius. Don't get me wrong, the guy is all about fundamentals and about getting the results. I would pump the brakes first before making such a declaration. The Grizzlies still play in the Western Conference. That's about as hard of a gauntlet as you can get.

Crazy premature for all that. He has been doing a good job with what he has. However, superior talent usually wins out.

I'm excited for this team, but we are still building to be a contender.

I feel like we usually like our coaches. Nothing against Fizz, I like what he has done, but he hasn't necessarily done anything super exceptional in my mind. Glad we got him, he seems to be doing well, but let's see what results he comes up with this season.
