If Stern Wanted to ‘Fix’ the Playoffs

By Lee Eric Smith On March 31, 2011 · Add Comment · In March 2011

As we draw near to the close of the NBA regular season — the end being a mere fortnight away…fortnight being an overly complicated way of saying “two weeks” — it has occurred to us here at 3 Shades of Blue that we should take a look at the Western Conference playoff matchups that the NBA wishes to see.

Tony Allen Drags Grizzlies One Step Closer…

Not that the rest of the team resisted being “dragged”, by any means. Well, it’s still far from a foregone conclusion about the postseason…but Tony Allen ONCE AGAIN changed the game in the third quarter. Not the Griz’ most shining win of the season, but y’know what? It’s number 42. That, my friends, assures that the Griz will have a winning season. Meaningless, but great.

With the Houston Kyle Lowrys taking a loss at Philly tonight (bet that one stung [...]

Nothing To Lose

Aside from fans in Memphis, not many people recognize the Grizzlies as the talented squad that they are. Whenever I ask any of my colleagues, who are all NBA junkies, about the Memphis Grizzlies, they usually respond by saying, oh those scrubs in the west with Mayo. Clearly the Grizzlies are not scrubs and Mayo is not the ideal player to think of when referencing the franchise. Sadly, these remarks are not uncommon and the Grizzlies are constantly judged by [...]

What to Do?

Every year about this time people discuss what the Grizzlies should do with the remainder of the season. Should they try to win every game? Should they try to manipulate thier remaining schedule to get the most desirable final position?Of course, over the last few years the answer seemed to always be lose as many games as possible to get the most ping-pong balls in the lottery.

That isnt’ the case this year.
