Your Memphis Grizzlies Basketball Thread III

TBrown, you pro Wroten?

Long term, absolutely. Of course not in the way the 76ers turned him loose. He's very raw and needs to be refined but he has elite athleticism and elite court vision. Two things you can't teach.

San Antonio beat Phoenix.

We are currently in 8th, a game behind Dallas and a game ahead of Phoenix considering tiebreakers.

Phoenix and Dallas play each other tomorrow night. Either way, we'll still be in 8th

I agree. He has potential but needs a better team/coach than Philadelphia. It is good seeing him get pt.

Who we got, Phoenix or Dallas?

Probably safer if Phoenix loses, but it doesn't exactly hurt to see Dallas lose.

Who we got, Phoenix or Dallas?

I'm rooting for Dallas. If we win out, we get the 7th anyway. Plus, if Phoenix loses tonight and the Grizz take care of business Sunday, the Grizz would be 1 game up on Phoenix with two games left, and presents a must win scenario for Phoenix and a clinching scenario for Memphis.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I don't trust us to beat Dallas.

 

[ArliTnVol]

I don't trust us to beat Dallas.

I concur !

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I need to see the clinching maths, anyone got a link to anything like that?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

We clinch if we win the next two.

 

[hmanvolfan]

My butt is clinching with things being so close going down to the wire.

Me too. Lets go Grizz!

Won two of the next three and we're in.

Any combination of two grizzlies wins and/or Phoenix losses and we are in.

We are at LA today, at Phoenix tomorrow, and home for Dallas Wednesday.

Phoenix plays us Monday and at Sacramento Wednesday.

If we win out, we are the seven seed.

Thank you for the informative post my brother. That's what I needed. Go grizzlies.

 

[Pulscifer]

We really need that 7th seed.

Beat Phoenix and we're in, right? Even if we lose today.

 

[hmanvolfan]

If the Grizz lose to the pathetic Lakers I'm throwing in da towel.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

If we go 3-0 and GS goes 0-3, we can get the 6. Would be my favorite scenario. Not the playoffs if we don't see the Floppers.

Yes.

 

[gordonr24]

Preferably, win the last 3 and draw OKC over SA, but obviously what's important is just making it in.

 

[TBrown]

Not a great first half, but we don't need style points

 

[hmanvolfan]

Need to put the beat down on the Suns tomorrow night.

 

[Pulscifer]

Let's clinch.

 

[gordonr24]

Everything has fallen into place. Magic number is 1. Clinch tonight and play for seeding on Wednesday.

 

[Thrasher865]

I want to win out! Was rooting for PHO over DAL. I would rather have a legit shot at the 7 vs an easier path to the 8.

The 7 seed versus the 8 seed means the difference between a legit, albeit difficult shot at another WCF series versus an all-but-certain first round exit.

Err, help me out. Does the NBA reseed between rounds? I can never keep track of all the differences between all the pro league playoff formats.
