    Might as well start Tanking for a draft pick.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.
