before the injury of Gasol, the grizzlies had made it to the playoffs as many times as the rockets in this decade.
Um, ok, except the Grizzlies won ZERO games during those 3 playoff appearances. The Rockets, at least, won 7 games in 3 playoff appearances, twice taking a team to the 7-game limit. Don't pretend the Grizzlies were anything less than completely overmatched in their previous playoff appearances.
"the rockets almost had it in seven games" "Ask any head coach, any real head coach not named Gundy. It doesn't matter if you lose in four games or seven; losing is losing."
