This guy is legit.

I'll wait to see how they play against a team that doesn't have a major offensive player injured and struggling, but even still, what's Parker's excuse over this series? The Grizz have battled pretty well, but these have been close games, too. Credit them for closing out, but we'll see.

Still, hard not to believe in that frontcourt, Gasol/Randoza is pretty nasty and they've had contributions from all over, and generally just responded to everything the Spurs have done.

Cmon, it doesn't taste that bad, just a lil weird at first if you're not used to.


BTW People should start giving Hollins some credit, the real COY in my book.

ahaha well done.

Disgusting pic, btw.

Memphis are another team proving you don't need a classic C anchor to play great d, you can make up for it with elite perimeter rotations


Gasol is an old school C no? I mean hes big, he rebounds and he blocks shots right?

Top 5 in the league, for sure!

FEAR THE BEARD!


I'm aware, but since he's not available, he's moot. Everyone has injuries and problems this time of year. In any case, however, they are certainly playing well and as I said, it's hard not to be excited about that frontcourt. It's nice to see Randolph enjoying some team success.

I think they'd be really good with Rudy Gay back, as long as they can continue this trend of playing well. They don't really have a good scorer in the backcourt, so Gay would definitely help in that area.

So why did you brought up Manu's injury as an excuse?


Afterall, everyone has injuries and problems this time of year. :lol:

They definitely have among the two best perimeter defenders in the league of Allen and Battier. This team is for real.

Definitely top 5, i'd say next year goes:

OKC Thunder
LA Lakers
DAL Mavericks
MEM Grizzlies
POR Trailblazers/DEN Nuggets (Depends on offseason moves)

And I am also predicting the Kings and Clippers to make the playoffs next year
