There Can Be Only One

By Red Coleman On June 13, 2013 · 4 Comments · In June 2013

Any Highlander fans in the group? Other than the guy in the duster with rather unique facial hair skulking in the shadows of the back of the room, of course. Well, if there are, then you’ll recognize the title immediately. What does it mean though?

Since the news broke that the Memphis Grizzlies were not going to retain Lionel Hollins, many fans (and media members) have voiced their disapproval and outrage about that decision. I’ve heard all manner of [...]

Fighting Against the Lazy Narrative

By jmay11 On June 10, 2013 · 3 Comments · In June 2013

Now that the decision not to bring Lionel Hollins back as the head coach has been made – or made public – there will be at least two distinct narratives that arise, much as there were when Rudy Gay was traded.

Dave, along with his co-authors Martin Schmidt and Stacey L. Brook, penned the statistical treatise Wages of Wins and Stumbling on Wins to try and objectively look at what the root causes of wins and losses on a basketball [...]

Changing of the Guard

Any time that a change of ownership occurs, the expectation is that there will be several personnel changes as well. Sometimes, that means that players will be moved. Or maybe a coaching change. Or even that the business side will experience a shake-up. It also means moves within the front office.

Since the group led by Robert Pera bought the Memphis Grizzlies, virtually every single one of those things has happened. Rudy Gay, Hamed Haddadi, Marreese Speights, Wayne Ellington, and [...]
