Marc Gasol Officially Out for the Season for Grizzlies

t-wizzle · 02-23-16, 01:23 PM

Figured this when they unloaded Jeff Green and Courtney Lee.

jjgold · 02-23-16, 02:14 PM

They were a team on the decline anyway

mr. leisure · 02-23-16, 02:26 PM

Three starters gone

Cross · 02-23-16, 03:20 PM

Might as well start Tanking for a draft pick.

jjgold · 02-23-16, 04:25 PM

They had their runs in the past

Cross · 02-24-16, 12:02 AM

At least they got rid of green, he can't guard anyone.

Otters27 · 02-24-16, 05:10 AM

Grizzlies hit their peak two years ago.

Ralphie Halves · 02-24-16, 05:14 AM

They were a team with no shooting, and realized it early in the season. Need to regroup.

existential · 02-24-16, 05:39 AM

they'll probably lose Conley to NY

R.P. McMurphy · 02-24-16, 06:08 AM

LAL +8 and a small side on ml sure looks tempting!!

BarkingToad · 02-24-16, 06:19 AM

Stick a fork in the Grizzlies season.

Ratpack · 02-24-16, 06:25 AM

they will still make the playoffs they were and are still a team in the middle of the pack not as good as the top 4 teams and not worse than the bottom teams in the playoffs. This actually helps the grizzles because its no more "grindhouse" play and they could speed up the tempo and conley can speed up play like every other nba team plays now with just having zbo and wing players everywhere with stepenson conley allen and barnes.

Grizzlies are one of only four NBA teams to make the playoffs each of the last five years (Spurs, Hawks, Bulls are the others) and here they are as the 5-seeds in the West right now. Their lead over the ninth seed is five games, it will be interesting to see what Memphis's intentions are the rest of the year.

Wrigley · 02-24-16, 09:46 AM

Big loss no chance at a playoff run now

But they are still a 5-seed with a five-game cushion for a playoff spot right now. I am not sold on the tanking theory.

Seeing JJ's comments in this thread is why he is a failure in betting....he knows very little about sports. Luckily he can be entertaining, because that's all that he has going for him.

Did you quit playing poker on here?

Scorpion · 02-24-16, 07:28 PM

good player, much tougher than softie (his brother), he'll be back

Cross · 02-25-16, 12:29 AM

Pau is a bit soft, loves his opera though.

Much tougher than Pau, no doubt. Also nowhere near as good at basketball. Not even remotely close.

Gasol Brothers are like an extremely poor man's manning brothers

oiler · 02-25-16, 06:18 AM

yeah but they put the numbers up

POOLSIDE · 02-25-16, 12:33 PM

The Gasol brothers are great. Pau is a hall of famer and is the most technically skilled center we've seen in a long time. Marc is very good, and one hell of a load down low. They're the best brother combo to ever play basketball, that's for certain.

Still playing....but not as much or as serious. I make calls now just to learn the philosophy/play of certain players. That way if they have a worthwhile promo, I may do better.

mr. leisure · 02-25-16, 06:30 PM

They will limp into the playoffs .

Auto Donk · 02-26-16, 12:15 PM

Im still baffled as to how in the hell this team wound up in memphis..... and it's time to change the team name to something that has at least been seen in Memphis in the past 200 yrs.....

something prevalent to the area/city.... something of import....

after racking my brain, the only thing that comes to mind for memphis would be the Memphis Methheads

Someone's obviously never seen the Silverlake reservoir

POOLSIDE · 02-26-16, 01:23 PM

Also if we're gonna start this, all conversations begin with the Utah Jazz

POOLSIDE · 02-26-16, 01:23 PM

Not to mention that the only name change relevant to this conversation was the Bullets becoming the Wizards. Now we're moving in the wrong direction.

I think he'll definitely leave as a free agent and sign with an Eastern conference team. Too tough to make the All-Star team in the West as a point guard with Curry, Paul, Westbrook, Lillard etc.
