Per Elias:

The Grizzlies are the first team to beat the team with the best record in the NBA and the defending NBA champ in consecutive games since the 2000-2001 Bucks beat the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz.

And we all know how well that Bucks team did!

What a way to make a statement these last two games.

lol there are some silly stats that get tracked.

I mean, how many times does a team even play the defending champ and the top record back-to-back?

I just love watching this team play. Many I hope this is the year.

In all honesty, I think we have as good of a shot as anyone. We just need to keep forcing opponents to take bad shots.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

The west is even tougher this year. I think the grizz, Spurs, Warriors, or Houston could come out of the conference. Shoot, okc can do some damage.

I was starting to worry that making the WCF might be the pinnacle of this franchise. I'm starting to build faith that we can have long term success.

And this year in particular, anything's possible.

Speaking of okc, I will be watching tonight's game intently. I think they beat GS.

I am not impressed with their current win streak, but I also don't want to draw them in the 1st round.

Nobody does. They'll be a classic 7th or 8th seed like the Grizz were last year and when they played the Spurs a few years ago.

My b. I'll get one for you. I'll ask for your email so I can get where to send it

Definitely. OKC scares the $hit out of me though. Everyone knows we should have beaten them last year and I REALLY do not want them in the playoffs again.

This may be our year. Gasol is a MVP player atp in the league. You see his three pointer last night?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

So who do we beat tonight?

I did; it was nuts.

If Gasol wins reg. season MVP, I would probably poop myself. I would be ecstatic for him.

I really hope he wins playoffs MVP, though.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Hey guys...some good wins

 

[Thrasher865]

The NBA won't let us beat anyone tonight. It's a damn conspiracy, I tell ya!

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Let me posit on this. Do any of the hot west teams(Grizz, GS, Houston) have a dynamic small forward?

Seems like folks are getting by with good guard play and big men.

Well, we've got Tayshaun, so obviously we're good in that department.

Do we do blue font in this thread?

When I read about them losing in Game 7 and then the next day him working out for the next season, he became my favorite player by far. God I hope he wins it.

'sup, Knuclehead? You should post more..

A knucklehead sighting. Haven't seen knuckle, Sith, or gcrop in this thread in a while.

He's definitely put in the work. It seems like the storyline with Memphis at the beginning of each season is how much weight he's lost in the offseason.

He looks like Kevin Love on the court with his short hair and slimmed physique, IMO.
