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.

By Jhugar On November 24, 2012 · 3 Comments · In 2012, November 2012

Man, was that fun! After a minor letdown against the Nuggets on Monday, the Grizzlies engine revved right back up against the Lakers last night, as they racked up another win against yet another team that got loads of preseason hype. As Matthew noted in his post last night, the Grizzlies won because they were simply better on both ends of the floor. They took Dwight and Pau out of the game, and forced Kobe into an [...]
