The Grizz are still a mediocre team that may have come up with some impressive wins so far this season, but at the end of the day they are still on pace to end the season with LESS wins then they had last year. All Wallace is trying to do is capitalize on the popularity that they are receiving at the moment to try and fill up a stadium that barely gets 14k a game so he can keep his job.
When it comes down to it several teams in the top 8 will have to have pretty big fallings out for the Grizz to get in. The three teams that look like they could fall out of the top 8 are unfortunately us, Denver (depending on what they lose with the Melo deal), New Orleans (who seem to have fallen off since that amazing start and are looking about as stagnant as we are).
Even with one of those teams falling off the Grizz will have to beat out both Houston, and Phoenix. Can anyone realistically say that the Grizz are better then any of those 5 other teams listed? Because I don't think the Grizz are even better then Phoenix.
