    Wrong. I was a fan of Hakeem and OT, and not so much of Cat Mobley and Steve Franchise. I was a fan of Bum and Earl and Eddie George and Steve Mcnair.

    The rockets disenfranchised me long before I left them as a team. I became a grizzlies fan over a period of 10 years, the same with the Oilers, Titans and the rockets.

    You are a fan of the city, but I am a fan of players.

    Congratz. It's more fun when a team you root for rises through mediocrity and becomes good.

    I personally love the Grizzlies way of playing basketball. It's a lot of fun. Aggressive on both sides of the ball.

    The irony of perkins' tweet after the Gay trade:

    "Wow that was 1 crazy trade today," Oklahoma City center Kendrick Perkins tweeted. "Are you serious Rudy Gay is right there under KD, Lebron, Kobe, and Melo. (hashtag)badtrade."

    the Grizzlies are one of the few teams I feel like I can back genuinely.

    No Rudy Gay ( a plus)
    Griffin out (a plus)
    and no Westbrook ( a plus)

    it's not hard to believe. Without those turns of events you only win 2 more playoffs games than the Rockets...all with the "defensive player of the year that didn't make 2013 1st all defensive team" Congrats! How proud you must be...

    They are not exciting, impressive, or interesting. They are kind of bland, grit and grind. You don't see how they are going to win, but somehow they do.

    They are by far the best chance to take out the heat in the finals. Zbo/Gasol is just deadly... i think someone said Zbo is actually taller then he is listed given he doesnt have a neck. Looks like a big potatoe got planted on his shoulders

    Remember the haters who bashed the team for trading for Battier? From my understanding we were not going to even draft him if it was not for the trade. Good call FO, not worth it.
