Do You Remember the Jewel of the Rudy Gay Trade?

By lahull20 On May 18, 2013 · 3 Comments · In May 2013

When the Memphis Grizzlies shocked the basketball world and decided to cut ties with their leading scorer and highest-paid player in Rudy Gay, a large faction of fans and analysts considered it to be a death sentence to their championship aspirations. Not many people thought the team could replace Rudy Gay’s scoring output, as inefficient as it may have been, and even fewer thought that they would manhandle Kevin Durant’s Oklahoma City Thunder to reach the Western Conference Finals.

Heartfelt Thanks to Mr. Heisley

It’s not right.

Mike Heisley brought the Grizzlies to Memphis of all places in 2001. No one thought that was a smart move to make.

Memphis would be the smallest market in the NBA. The city was blue-collar so paying for tickets to 41 regular season home games would be taxing to the population.

The Memphis Grizzlies are doing exactly what they should be in the NBA Western Conference playoffs – beating a Thunder team without their second option in Russell Westbrook. What’s happening in this year’s playoff run for the Grizzlies isn’t necessarily a surprise, but everyone looks for a good redemption story. You can even call this the Playoffs of Redemption for the Grizzlies. You can follow that story every night here.

They really are doing much more than [...]

Standing On The Edge

By Jhugar On May 15, 2013 · 5 Comments · In May 2013

It’s hard to believe that three weeks ago, the Grizzlies were down 2-0 in the first round. It looked like the best season in franchise history might end up being a grave disappointment. When I watched Game 2, I was the only one in my house still awake. Now, this has happened to me dozens of times over the years during crucial sporting events, and normally, I’ve been able to keep my mouth shut. This time, however, I [...]
