On yesterday's ball:

I really wish Memphis could get through the Western Conference one year and meet Miami in the Finals. The Grizzlies are a matchup nightmare, and Lionel Hollins is twice the coach of pretty much every other WC contender but George Karl (yes, I'm discounting San Antonio. They're finished). I'd love to see a Grizz-Heat Finals.

If Wayne Ellington doesn't look like Reggie Miller yesterday and Dwyane Wade doesn't look like Wayne Ellington, Miami wins that game.

The Grizz would be lucky to get one game against the Heat if they played in the Finals.

False, because Gasol had 2 points and Speights had 4. Those two combined are usually good for at least 30-35, so subtract that from 6 and you've got 29, four more points than Ellington had. And maybe Dwayne Wade went against Tony Allen, don't you think? There's no reason to believe Wayne Ellington can't, on a normal night, score 12 or so points. The Grizzlies would take the Heat to 7 games because the Grizzlies present things that Miami simply cannot defend.

You are way too big of a homer, man. It's like you think your team is invincible. Somebody is going to knock Miami off, and I wouldn't put it past Memphis to be a team that could do it.

Oh, and do you remember late season last year, when the Grizzlies came in and beat Miami's asses in Miami? Don't tell me this Grizz team would be lucky to play with the Heat any other time when the last two times they've played, Memphis has won by double digits.

Oh, and one last thing--the coach makes a big difference. Hollins > Spoelstra. Easy.

Yeah, when in doubt, count out the team with the most wins in the NBA and had the best record last year in the NBA.


Popovich is still, without a doubt, the best coach in the NBA, and it isn't close

By 30-35, do you mean 22, like their averages suggest from both this season and last year? Marc averages 14ppg, and Speights gets 7-8ppg. 35ppg my ass.

Tony Allen played 14 minutes versus Miami



God I hate you for making me defend Bleacher here, but you sound like such a dumbass

Well shit, I thought Speights scored double figures. Forgive me for not checking on some random ass player to make sure his statistics were exact.

One way or the other, Gasol's better than two a night, Speights is better than four.

So I didn't check Tony Allen's minutes? He usually defends the best wing player, and he's too small to take 'Bron, so I assumed he might have had a lot to do with Wade's struggles. There's nothing that states that he didn't, either, fifteen minutes or not.

It's not like Rudy or Zack dropped 30, either. Anything is possible. Stop making it sound like this Grizzlies team couldn't compete with Miami when they've trashed Miami the last two times they've played.

Gasol and Speights are not even close to being good for 35 as bosox already pointed out.

The only person to blame for Wade's struggles is Wade. He might have still been feeling sick too after being held out of Friday's game. It doesn't matter who guards Wade because nine times out of ten, he's going to get his.

Wayne Ellington on a normal night scores half of what you think he could, considering that's what he's averaged for his entire career.

What do the Grizz present that the Heat can't defend?

The only team that has a legit shot of knocking a healthy Heat off are the Lakers if they figure their shit out. Don't bet on Memphis.

I don't care what the Grizz have done to Miami in the regular season because it's irrelevant. Do you remember what happened to the Grizzlies in the playoffs last year? They got knocked out by the Clippers, a team that was clearly much worse than the Heat. But it was the ref's fault right? They cheated the Grizzlies and favored the Clippers?

What makes Lionel Hollins a better coach than Erik Spoelstra? My only problems with Spo are his terrible playcalls in the last minute of close games and his insistence on putting Battier on the other teams best wing instead of Bron/Wade and letting Rio guard the opposing elite PGs when Wade should be doing that if there is no real threat at SG.

 

[elcheato]

His insistence of playing Shane Battier at all should irk you too.

 

[buzzy]

Forgive me for not checking on some random ass player to make sure his statistics were exact.

"Here is an incredible bold statement that says player A and B combine for X posts on average - What, am I supposed to check those stats of random ass player B for accuracy?"

you're making me punch stuff.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'm pretty sure this was proved incorrect in last year's playoffs.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Spo is a terrible coach, I think that is understood by most people out there


It's very hard to not succeed when you have the best player in the game, the best SG in the game, a big man with great shooting range and is good enough of a defender, a PG who is a good shooter and is a very good defensive PG, and a rotation of 4 3PT shooters, one of them being the best 3PT shooter of all time

[Rios15]

Need someone to replace an inactive GM in this fantasy league I'm in with BB and a bunch of my Toronto friends. Let me know if you're interested and I'll pm you the info. Oh yeah, and it's Yahoo.

Question: Shawn Marion - Hall of Famer?

 

[Rios15]

Question: Shawn Marion - Hall of Famer?

Hasn't really accomplished much as a player in my opinion.

 

[Elite]

8 straight seasons of at least 17 PPG and 9 RPG. Elite defensive player, never made an appearance on any All-Defense teams for whatever reason though Four time All-Star. Key contributor on a bunch of really good teams.

 

[Pugz]

i think he would make it eventually. hes such an underrated player.
