What's up with the Grizzlies' slow start to the season? This is a team that went to the Conference Finals just last season, and then they added some solid pieces in Miller and Koufos to beef up their bench. Was Hollins that good of a coach? Too bad NOVoodoo isn't around to share his insights.

Offense looks like shit, and their D has slacked this year compared to last. They have no athleticism at any of the 5 positions. I think they might be out of the WC playoff mix.

But what's changed? What's the difference from last year to this year? Their starting 5 is the same. The overall roster is pretty much the same. No significant injuries. The only obvious change is in coaching. So are the defensive and offensive sets so different that they are producing such a vast difference? Or maybe it's just early season blues. Perhaps the Grizzlies are just bored with regular season, but it's not like they're the Heat and have won 2 straight championship. They should still be hungry.

Haven't watched much of them but from what little I did see it was clear that their coach was clearly in over his head with that roster. Seemed like no one gave a fugg what he was saying.

NOVoodoo and others trashed hard on Hollins but he had his team playing pretty sharp basketball. Consistent, tenacious, physical stuff. They're still decent just going through the motions but they just don't seem focused.
 
Re: The 2013-14 Around The NBA Thread......

A good night.

1.) we win

2.) minny loses

3.) Phoenix loses

4.) Dallas loses

5.) lakers lose!
 
The Grizz need a superstar, so it makes sense. You put Wiggins on that team, with the defense that they have, they'd be in good shape.
 
Don't know where to put this but am I the only one that thinks the recent trend of NFL and NBA teams trying to break decibel records for loudness is totally wack? People need to get excited about a fucking "record" and not what is on the field? Something about it irritates the hell out of me. Like fans doing the wave or something.

To be honest, I'm too busy with my wife, kids and career to even think about it. Actually your post is the first I've heard about this topic.

Its ridiculousp when its planned out. I like the story when its broken in the heat of the game but when its planned I think its way to much of a gimmick.

Poor Suns lose 2nd heart breaker in a row in the last seconds. Their fans are really down on Channing Frye.

I still think we should bring him back as a swap for Leonard. Leonard is obviously trying to become Channing Frye anyway, but Channing's a Portland booster to the core.

It will take Wiggins 3 years to get to the level Rudy Gay was at when they traded him. We assume Wiggins will eventually be better than Gay, but then Rudy was also highly thought of. (Big East freshman of the year, McDonalds All American)

Not sure how good Memphis will be in the near future.
 
We are witnessing arguably one of the best players ever!

LeBron off to a super-efficient start offensively: 27.0 PPG (ranks 3rd), 61.0% FG% (3rd), 51.7% 3PT%. Translates to a 66.1% eFG%

After watching that Duke vs Kansas game, I think Parker is actually more ready for the NBA than Wiggins. Parker reminded me of Mello.

Right now Parker would be my pick as well. Long season, but the combination of his all around skills, explosiveness, and body…..is pretty impressive.
 
lol one game of Parker and Wiggins and were making conclusions on their draft stock.

I like both, I wanna see more. I'm sure I'll see much more. I'm excited about the depth in this draft.

Agreed, I was just saying after one viewing.

This is a draft I wish we had a decent pick in. Maybe Olshey can trade for a pick. A late 1st there's tons of talent. Watch Aaron Gordon for Arizona. Baller.

I really like Mitch McGary.
 
Y! Sources: After tearing Achilles, Kobe Bryant returned to Lakers practice on Saturday.
 
Yahoo

Pau Gasol on how Kobe looked in his first full practice today,"He looked good. He looked like Kobe"
 
Upon his return to RipCityTwo, HCP's teammate said, "he looks good. he looks like shrek."
