The Memphis Grizzlies are Top 5 in the West at this point

Because he was a dumbass/troll.

Examples:

Rudy Fernandez = Carmelo Anthony: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1047826&start=15#p24777371

Pau Gasol is far better than Dwight Howard: viewtopic.php?f=64&p=23800263

and countless other obvious trolling threads trying to antagonize Laker/Heat fans or Kobe/Jordan fans.

He's not smart, he just made a wild prediction and got lucky. He made countless other wild predictions that were all wrong...even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Anyone who legitimately made this prediction is smart, but not the OP.

Aww man, OP doesn't get to gloat? That's too bad. Even though he was probably trolling. Guess we'll never know...

Congrats on the "Dumbest Post of the Day".

Has to be a troll. Or maybe he just hasn't turned on his television set in the past week.

I OFFICIALLY NAME "RIPCITYLIVES" BEST POSTER OF THE YEAR 2010.

yeah like us Grizzly fans haven't been saying what the op said, for the longest time. Now everyone is starting to take notice.

They'll make the Playoffs but a first round exit is pretty much guaranteed.

oops

Predicted the Grizzlies winning in the first round in 6. That is what they did.

Yeah they are still alive in the playoffs (and have a good start against the Thunder now) but the Spurs were still a really bad #1 seed. Any team in the bottom half of the West could have beaten them IMO.

This was a bold prediction to make and it is correct looking at it now but they did get to this point by becoming the 8th seed and beating a Spurs team that overachieved.

Basically I would call the Spurs overrated before saying the Grizzlies were underrated but both are true and show why the Grizzlies are still in with the top 4 in the West and why the Spurs are gone.
