Hope the Wiz win their challenge.

No way was that an offensive foul on Carrington

I remember them losing to Milwaukee, before barely scraping by the mash unit Magic & now Indiana. What other eastern conference teams have they played?

You'd think Real GM members would know that the NBA Cup Finals game doesn't count in the standings.

Re-read the joke you responded to. I said f*** all about the standings. Or put your way:

You'd think Real GM members would be able to read the posts they quote.

Edey and Wells are so good for rookies. Def not the highest ceilings but maybe the best two players right now. Which is what the Grizz needed as we are in what is hopefully a multi year contention frame

What is going on with the Bulls/Hawks game? It's like Chicago have lost their minds! Hawks scored 20 straight points!

EDIT - So far (30 secs to go) Atlanta has scored 48 in the 4th!

50 point quarter!

Not much defense played in Memphis.

Raptors 100 Grizzlies 121 at the end of 3 quarters.

:lol: a 20pt lead going into the 4th doesn't mean much anymore.

They've beaten the #4 Magic twice (once before the injuries), #6 Miami, #7 Atlanta, #8 Indy and #9 Chicago.

So 6-0 against teams that would be in the postseason if the season ended today. Or are they not considered the "East's good teams"?

Having a 16 point lead with 5 and a half minutes to go in the 4th quarter usually means victory, but not only is that not the case the Bulls lost the lead in less than 3 minutes. I know the Bulls are trash defensively but Geez!

Rare to see a team score 126 points and get blown out by nearly 30 points.

I guess Paolo's injury doesn't count. It's understandable, he's only their best player.
