I do not like Zach, no I don't.

I think Zach is just a plain joke.

No matter if he changed, or can give you 20,

the dude is a bum and ain't worth his type of money.

So thank the good Lord that he was moved away.

So all the Blazer fans have someone to praise.

Anyone thinking Zach is the answer.

Must look at themselves and think "he is a cancer"

............


Goodbye Zach, I thank God you are still filling those stats on losing franchises.

Okay I know I'm bored when I talk about a player that hasn't been on this roster for 3 years. :P

Zach Randolph.

the more he shoots
the better he scores
so let him shoot 20 times more!
 
A turtle grew in his pond and swam along the stagnant water,
he kept growing and honed his skill as the pond marauder.
The frogs and fish and bugs that skimmed along the top,
all knew the large turtle would call every shot.

One day the turtle left to find a great and clean lake,
and he met other turtles who liked his size and his shake.
He was an impressive turtle who quickly became king,
some older turtles left and then came the sting.

But this turtle tribe was competing with bigger fish,
birds, bull frogs, snakes, the outlook was bleakish.
Hunting was shabby and all blamed the big turtle,
who could not carry his tribe to waters more fertile.

The big turtle was made king but alas there's an issue,
don't weep for his glory, no need to soil a tissue.
He should never have been made king, it was his hurdle,
because no matter how big he was, a turtles a turtle.

Last I checked, the Grizzlies are playing pretty well. In fact, they smoked us in our building.

Lately, he's been putting up big numbers in WINS.

Why hate on the guy?
 
Pro-Zach, from Ireland and Japan

There was a great basketball player
Who got more heavier and weigher
He consistently
Made 10 and 20
And more when challenged by a dare-er.

Like fog, the Fs leap to mind--
Frye and Francis and--
Give and ye shall not receive.
 
There should be a former players thread dedicated to posts like these. Zach doesn't play here anymore why slag on him? Because he's doing well? Weak!

Not everyone slagged on him.

Grizzlies are now 16-16. Is he still a cancer?
 
GOD nailed it. Good supporting player, but don't try to turn him into something he isn't. If Nash hadn't given him that silly contract, people would have an entirely different view of the guy.

thank you, your interpretation is spot on.

He's a little more than a supporting player. Zach Randolph was the first player since Kareem Abdul Jabbar (in the 70s) to score 65 points and grab 42 rebounds in a two game span.

The knock on Zach has been that his teams don't win but I believe that has nothing to do with Zach and everything to do with the help he has around him. After all the closest we've gotten to winning a playoff series in the last 9 years was with Zach in the starting lineup.

If the Grizzlies keep winning, Zach will be an All Star. And it's about time.

I believe Zach would be best served as a starter but not the star. A second or third option. He can score very well, but also tends to get blocked a lot or pushed into taking second rate shots. And his D is still terrible. Zach would be great alongside a real great defensive center and a strong willed star guard who could command respect as the leader from all the players including Zach. In many games, Zach would be the leading scorer, but that would not be option one. I have never disliked Zach like many of the others, I just felt that he was asked to be a superstar when that is not in his grasp. He does not have the personality or defensive fundamentals/athleticism to ever reach that tier.
 
That's what Randolph has. A defensive center in Gasol. Rudy Gay averages 20.8 to ZBo's 20.2. He also has more offensive help in Mayo. This team is stacked. If they beef up their bench in the next couple seasons, they will be a top team in the West.

I actually agree. I am not very confident in either Mayo or Gay however. I think they both lack that superstar quality. Gasol losing all that weight over the summer has really done amazing things for him, but the rest of the team is still terrible on D. Gay has the power to be a very good defender with his length and athleticism, but he just does not seem to put it all together. Mayo seems to not care about D. It's not just a bench they need, they need to find a coach that can inspire them to focus on D. Their offensive abilities are innate.
 
Here is one the Hoops Family recites before every meal...

Zach is great
Zach is good
Let us thank him for our food

Grizzlies are 25-19 and have less losses than us. Zach has never been the problem.
