I just posted this on Grizz board but might get more feedback on here so I'm copying it:

I hear all the time "they are a fun team to watch" about teams like Lakers, Thunder, or maybe the Heat. I don't really get it. I also just read on the other forum Grizz Talk, an ESPN writer calls Grizzlies " a fun team to watch, and I never thought I could say that". Which is baffling to me since they are the most fun obviously to Memphis fans.

Initially I thought Raptors, Wizards, and Hawks would be the fun teams to watch this season but I've been very disappointed and want my money back from NBALP choice. laugh.gif
I also used to like seeing the Bobcats and Nets last year vying for the playoffs. They are terrible this year though.

What are some of your "fun teams" to watch this season and why? Kings and Tyreke? Jennings and the Bucks? AI and the Sixers ?(honestly I have not watched one game of his this season)

I guess i'd have to go with the Bucks but they're still the freaking Bucks and their announcers have annoying accents.

I like watching the Thunder, Grizzlies, Knicks, and Pacers.

I don't normally like the Knicks, but I do like the way they had been playing after they benched Nate Robinson. Not exactly exciting basketball, but solid defensively. The Pacers have a lot of my favorite college players, and it is nice to see them develop.

The Thunder are an exciting team to watch because they are so young and athletic. Durant has been huge all year and Westbrook has come into his own. The Grizzlies have been great on the offensive glass and this is a thing of beauty for me to watch. Not to mention Rudy has been explosive all year.

Oh, and finally I enjoy watching the Nuggets because of their gritty style especially with the addition of lightning fast Ty Lawson.

I'm a Laker fan that just happens to post in the Grizz forum waaay more haha. They're exciting when they actually put forth the effort (don't get me started).

Obviously I enjoy watching the Grizz play. Been following them since 03, but when they got Juice I was real happy. Also like Gasol and Old man Sam. Rudy's okay in my book for the most part. Conley and Thabeet are meh, but they'll get cheered on by me. Hated ZBo in the past but he's making me a fan.

I watch Thunder games too. Durant is a superstar in the making, Westbrook and Green are fun to watch too. I also watch because I used to play ball with Harden in high school, so I always check to see how he's doing.

It's all jokes here! :D

Just ftr, have you been a grizzlies fan since the Pau trade, or was it something else? Maybe because the Lakers and Grizz have been so interconnected recently?

hahaha, nevermind buddy. i also like to watch the lakers since we traded pau there. Im very dissapointed with wizards so far this season. i thought arenas would be more "enjoyable". Knicks are fun to watch. Lil Nate droppin' 41 !!!! that was awesome. I liked also to watch the trailblazzers, but with all that injures i gave up.

Mavs are fun to watch. Nowitzki is great.

No before the Gasol trade. I think when Jerry West got hired was around the time I started to follow the Grizz.

I'm a Raps fan...but I like the youth of the Grizz. The Raps have youth too but not like the trio of Mayo/Gay/Gasol. They're going to be a team too look out for, kinda like the Blazers.

I've joined the Grizzlies bandwagon. Took a quick glance at the forum and I'm surprised it's not more active.

I love this team. I watched Grizz games last year aswell and i really liked their youth, even though they lost a ton of games. But this year its CRAZY. Coach Hollins is puttin' some work into this team and they really have improved their game in different ways.
PLAYOFFS IN MEMPHIS!!! :D
