I only see one as a good series, the rest are kinda junky.

I believe Dwight Howard will develop 2 post mives making him unstoppable and propelling my team to glory.

You leave that jump hook alone. That jump hook almost won us the Conference Semis!

Meaning that in total he would then have a total of three posts moves??

An uncontested slam dunk and whatever those two new moves will be??

Phoenix shines in the playoffs. Here comes the suns.

That's right. He's a 20 point per game scorer now but with these two moves we're taking 27-30 a night baby.

Seeing as how the Memphis Grizzlies are more than likely going to miss the playoffs (a travesty) we would like to introduce our draft picks for next year.


Jarvis Varnado 1st round: giving us that shotblocker off the bench we need. He's what Hasheem Thabeet would be if Hasheem Thabeet had leadership and a nasty side.


Lazar Hayward 2nd Round: A versatile tough wing defender who can hit the long ball.

Also, the Grizzlies move that the only teams who should be considered for the "Team of the Future" award be teams who missed the playoffs.
If for no other reason then when we win tha award, and then make the playoffs in the revote in January, we can change our slogan to," The Memphis Grizzlies: The Future is Now!"

Some thoughts:

I think on the bright side of consistency, the people in the playoffs compared to the people out of the playoffs was pretty standard. Not to say we got it right, but I think we mostly agreed on it (sorry KC).

I think also that a couple of teams in the SW benefited from the seeding system in that a SW team automatically had to be in the top 3 of everyone's ballot. The teams that bore the brunt of this were Golden State and Seattle in my view, and the team that benefited the most from it was obviously Dallas. 

Phoenix also formally declares war on the good people of seattle.

No opinions guys?

No team is dramatically too high? No team too low? its all perfect?

I am pretty dissapointed that Golden state is a #7 seed.  But I would be nervous if i was the #2
