The Grizzlies roster is stale. Best days are behind them. I think most level-headed people understood this before the season. Can't blame Joerger for that but it may be time to move on anyway.

 

False. They still have a very good squad. It's not like they are very old like the Spurs.

Most of the Grizzlies players don't rely on athleticism to be good, it's more skills, they never go away.

They are a tony Allen trade area from being great again. Need more space.

 

Sure, except no team will give them anything worth a dime for Tony Allen.

They will have shed players and build around Marc and Mike for the long term. It ain't happening for them anytime soon.

 

They have never been great.... Very good but never great. Anyone who ever thought the Griz were a legit contender just doesn't watch enough baskeball.

There just a stepping stone in the playoffs, a very tough out but not a team that can really be seen as a threat.

I love Marc gasol and wish he was on the Rockets, but if he's your best player your not going to advance deep yearly in the playoffs, Not enough offense and it's starts with him. If he was teamed up with a Harden/curry then yes very very good second option but as the first? I don't think so. Not to mention the rest of the roster is old and flawed.

By the end of the month they will be fighting for a 6-8 seed guarantee.

 

I never said they were contenders. Just that they are very good and that they are not supposed to be playing as poorly as they have been. In retrospect, the entire western conference should not be playing as poorly as they have been, the squads in the west are much more deeper than the east teams.

They have a very solid squad, if they either make a trade or just tank this season, they will be good for years to come. Since, they are not tanking, they need to find a way to get 3 point shooters surrounding ZBO and Gasol. Automatically, they are that much more dangerous.

Come on Pistons

 

Crazy game. They gotta finish!

 

Clippers/Pistons reminds me of a college game that never ends because of the timeouts after every single possession.

 

Drummond was bad defense.
