Objectively speaking, I think this team is going to
and and and all over the rest of the CBNBA. 

Objectively speaking, of course.

Quick question


Is Memphis any different then GS when they upset Dallas?



I don't mean style.  I mean they had a match up advantage over SA that allowed them to win. 

the real life grizzlies are better and i dont think they can win an nba championship. i think the pawnee pacers are a top team in the east but the west has a lot better/deeper teams than the east.

I am more then happy to match up my Bullets with any team in the East.

New Army Ants

Rajon Rondo (the general)
Marcus Thornton (the go-to guy)
Gerald Wallace (the all around-er)
Tyrus Thomas (the swatter)
Jermaine O'neal (fragile, handle with care)

Caron Butler (the 6th man of the year)

one of these players just doesn't fit. JO needs to moved for a young guy that can run..his own team will run circles around him

Bullets:  LaMarcus Aldridge, Danny Granger, Marcin Gortat, Raymond Felton, Ryan Anderson,  Shane Battier, Landry Fields,

i this is another top team in the east.  It is very balanced team. i love the aldridge will finally have players around him that are not injured every year.

I don't think you're giving all that much thought into that statement though:

Whether you think the real Grizzlies could win a championship or not is definitely debatable, I don't think real Grizzlies vs. Pawnee Pacers is.

[Roy H.]

I don't mean to be rude, but you are on drugs if you think the real Grizzlies are better than the Pawnee Pacers.

Ha.  Is there a circumstance under which "you are on drugs if you disagree with me" isn't rude?  There's probably a nicer way to get your point across.

Regarding your point, I think a lot comes down to how highly people value Ron Artest, as well as some of the Grizzlies who haven't been drafted yet.

[StartOrien]

You're right, let me edit it.

I blame Charles Barkley for not being a better role model to me.

This is one of those questions I'd almost prefer to answer in another thread because I'll come off as biased or as someone trying to play the politics game:

I think for many reasons they're different.

When the Grizzlies were rolling in the playoffs, I honestly felt they had a shot at winning the title.

The Warriors was a lot of fun, but you knew the ride was eventually going to come to an end.

And while they both definitely capitalized on a style, I think you could look at the Warriors as a more hazardous style, whereas the Grizzlies is a fairly conservative approach.

That's a pretty simplistic and inherently flawed approach, by that math we could make the Grizzlies better than the Jordan era Bulls

Jordan > Mayo
Pippen > Gay

Horace Grant < Z Bo
Bill Wennington < Marc Gasol
BJ Amrstrong < Mike Conley Jr.

parker's not a huge upgrade besides scoring slightly more.

Two completely different players, in my mind.  Parker gets extra credit for being a champion, though, including a Finals MVP.  He's a more proven playoff performer than Conley.
