    The East began to catch up to the West last season. They are definitely passing them this next season.

    Again, I know everybody's going to diss the grizzlies. But honestly, the clippers have done nothing since paul has gotten there. They beat memphis once. Aside from the fact that the spurs had a historic regular season last year, they have been knocked out of the playoffs in the first and second round.

    It's okay, I am so ready for the season to start. And we are going to find out who the better teams are.

    you are going to find out that parsons is disinterested on D, streaky on his shot, and one tweak to his back or knee from being back on the bench in a suit

    The grizzlies have Wade Baldwin, he's going to ball. Deyonta Davis has a chip on his shoulder. All the grizzlies have a chip on their shoulders. I just hope we are healthy for once going into the playoffs and let's just see.

    Do all Memphis players get chips of their shoulders as part of their new uniform?

    I really would believe that Silver and the refs will be focusing hard on the illegal screens next year to stymie the Warriors. Other than that I don't know how they lose even 5 games.

    i've never even heard of the 2 players you mention. if they are rookies, then it's my fault since i completely missed the draft this year. what's up with ZBo now? hasn't his game diminished noticeably now as he's gotten older?

    They are rookies. Baldwin is a 6'4 pg with a 6'11.25 wing span. Davis is/was the best shotblocker in the draft, and played for Tom Izzo and he was expected to go in the lottery, the grizzlies got him with the 31 pick.

    Add to that parsons and a heathly team, plus the grizzlies still might get gerlad henderson and this team is loaded.
