A Day To Remember!

By 3 Shades of Blue On April 1, 2013 · 7 Comments · In April 2013

The Memphis Grizzlies’ new owner has finally made an impact on the team. Chris Wallace’s absence has finally been explained, and the expression, “Only in the movies and Memphis,” is going to be repeated a lot over the next few weeks, and hopefully for the next few years as well. Also, the Grizzlies finally may have found their replacement for former crowd favorite, Iranian Hamed Haddadi.

Inside the Rudy Gay Trade

The local media seems mostly in favor of the deal, but not overwhelmingly so. The writers for this website are likewise somewhat split on what to think about it, although most of us are [...]

Lionel Hollins Meet Art Howe

Everyone who’s read the book or seen the movie Moneyball probably catches the title’s reference.

If you haven’t, you should because it’s an interesting take on how the Oakland A’s became the poster franchise for statistical analysis.

Statistical analysis is what is happening with the Grizzlies right now. In theory, the plan is that you discover players that are undervalued because of perceived defects in their game which are in reality not pertinent to the goal of winning games. For [...]
