    What's wrong with wanting the easiest route possible? Every sports team should want that

    Heck the Cavs and previously Miami have had the easiest route possible for years running now and yet they have championships.

    I'd rather have the easiest route as far as possible.

    As a Grizzlies fan, clearly he knows a thing or two about winning championships.

    Perhaps they wouldn't be NBA finals virgins if they had an easier route...

    Our bench is so inexperienced and even our starters are so inexperienced. Jam, Wayne Selden, Harrison, Troy Daniels, Ennis. A lot of inexperience.

    Yep. History doesn't really remember the route you take. unless its exceptionally hard and still they might not reference it at all. I know they don't when it come to the 6th seed '94-'95 Houston Rockets.

    History has already forgotten how easy the Warriors had it in 2015.

    Danny Green gets zero credit for his Defense. Danny Green does all the hard work and then Kashi swoops in for all the defensive glory at the end.

    What's got some problems. Nobody even cares or remembers the route you take once you've got that ring. It's all about the championship. everything leading up to that is largely irrelevant

    But a Grizz fan would be hang up over such things while never making the NBA finals.

    Blame Jordan for losing to Orlando that year
    It's like the NBA is purposely making people forget that happened.
    I was rooting for the bulls so we can take them to the shed
    Instead we swept Orlando
    If you look at those old games Hakeem got the entire bulls front line in foul trouble

    Nobody in the history of the NBA would have stopped that team
    95 playoff Dream was the perfect player

    There's another one. **** that guy.

    I keep wondering whether that thing on the back of Ginobli's head is an Under Amour in-game advertisement or Argentina's version of tree rings. Got to keep my mind occupied because the Grizz have no chance in this series. Someone get back to me if they figure it out.

    If you didn't know who Tony Parker was or his HOF resume, and he walked into the gym and he asked you to run next.. would you pick him up?

    Tony Parker does not look like a basketball player.

    I'm telling him I already got 5 when I know I don't have 5.
