The Rockets pretty much just came off a run that was superior to Memphis in every way, and I don't exactly feel a groundswell of support for guys being viewed as all time Rockets legends. Gordon and Tucker, we really appreciate what you did but we sure as hell aren't retiring your number. It really does reek of desperation to canonize a run of pretty good, but not great basketball.
https://www.grizzlybearblues.com/20...dolph-effect-nba-memphis-grizzlies-retirement ZBo likely meant more to Memphis and its community, more than EGo or Tucker ever will, to the Houston community. Of all the players to ever play for the Grizz, I think Pau and ZBo are the first two names that come to mind, when deciding to retire jerseys. That said, Tony Allen? lmao da fuq?
I like it...these people put fans in the seats....TC is always half empty...and finally someone who recognizes the chip or bust culture is a fraud....not everybody need to be a champion... to compete...this is the real championship
To be fair, they are still fairly new. Most expansion teams aren't going to have alot of HOF-talent off the bat. They've also moved from another city, so they should be given some leeway.
Eh, whatever. They've got their grit and grind shtick to rally around until they actually win something or gain a mega-star, so I'm not gonna laugh. We've got Carroll Dawson's "number" hanging from the rafters and people outside the org probably wouldn't understand that, either. I mean, I'm still not sure anything will top the Miami Heat retiring Jordan's number. lol.
i remember as a kid marveling in front of the tv at the sight of michael jordan flying on the court for the miami heat back in the 70s
How bout Marc Gasol and Mike Conley? The 2 cornerstones of that era who both spent their entire primes leading the best teams in franchise history? ZBo made his mark in Portland first, and played less than half his seasons there Pau will always be remembered more for his Lakers contributions, and is only the second best Gasol to play for the Grizz To me, Conley is Mr. Grizzly, and Marc is a close second, although the better overall player at his peak
It's a bit too early for Marc since he's still technically active as a player, even if it's not with the Grizzlies / NBA. And Conley is still a member of the Jazz. I'm sure Marc and Mike will have their jerseys retired by the Grizzlies someday...but since Pau and ZBo are actually retired, they should get the nod first.
Actually they tight as f*ck for giving OKC a W We are now tied with the Pelicans for that #3 worst record, which would give us the maximum odds for a top 3 pick. Lets go
Fans told Ja Morant he needs to sit back down so the Grizzlies can start winning again. The disrespect! https://www.slamonline.com/nba/ja-morant-hurt-after-backlash-from-fans/
Ja said he's a bad MFer during the game and is mad that the fans called him a bad MFer after the game?
@HardenVolumeOne This is your chance to dump on Ja Morant and claim he's a fake star pushed by the NBA like Flake Griffin was.
