The Greatest Worst Assembled Team in NBA History

By Jesse Blanchard On May 17, 2013 · 12 Comments · In May 2013

Ask Gregg Popovich the secrets to the San Antonio Spurs sustained success on any given day and you’re likely to get one of two answers. On most days Popovich will simply flash that condescending gaze, staring daggers into your soul until you find yourself apologizing for wasting his time with such a stupid question.

Find Popovich in a good mood, however, and he will likely admit that everything he and general manager R.C. Buford have built comes down to two [...]

The Winning And The Waiting (or Bring On The Spurs!)

By Jhugar On May 17, 2013 · 2 Comments · In May 2013

Going into last night’s Spurs-Warriors game, and I had two ways of looking about things. Part of me thought I should clearly be pulling for the Warriors. Not only would a Game 7 give the Grizzlies a major advantage in terms of rest, but on the off chance the Warriors had actually came back and won the series, they’d be a less scary opponent than San Antonio.

For the Love of the Grind

By Steve Danziger On May 17, 2013 · 3 Comments · In May 2013

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. There was even a rather active and vocal campaign to prevent the team from relocating here from some of the cities leaders. Still Heisley pushed ahead.

Tony Allen’s T-Shirt Toss

By Red Coleman On May 16, 2013 · 3 Comments · In May 2013

I don’t even have to give a full explanation of that title, since you all know what I’m referring to. But…just in case you missed it, here is the video:

Ok, so Tony was waving his towel — as we all know he loves to do — and the warm-up shirt that was inside said towel came flying out onto the court. Referee Marc Davis then assessed him a technical foul and also counted the three-point attempt by Derek [...]
