Not sure if serious? Yeah everybody lets not tank and be superstar-less forever and barely make the playoffs or just miss it! MEDIOCRE FOR LIFE!
I think there's also a mental aspect of seeing Lowry playing so well against them. Conley, the guy who never justified being the starter with on the court play when Lowry was in Memphis looked pretty mediocre out there. Lowry goes beast mode, and Conley doesn't respond at all.
That seems like the kind of team Memphis is, each guy thinks "I can TAKE this CHUMP". Each guy thinks they're better than their counterpart. Randolph probably thinks he's better than Scola, Gay knows he's better than Battier, Gasol better than Chuck, Conley better than Lowry. And they only have to worry about Martin, maybe matching talent for talent with Gay on Martin, Xavier Henry on Battier. Mayo's one of few level headed guys on that team.
