Well if you look the last 5-6 games Young is playing hardly 12 mn with more TOs than points, Caroll even less with a very poor contribution and Thabeet is seeing around 10 min with some blks. Meanwhile Mayo and co are playing 40 mn their bench has potential but not this year.

Probably not this year. They definitely need to upgrade their bench with at least a proven veteran.

Indeed I think they are a proven veteran away to be for real. Anyway with their current roster and healthy I can see them make a strong second half of RS and having a good seed in the POs race.

Indeed, to think I was laughing at them during the offseason because they signed AI.

no. but duncans touches will double in playoffs. and if the playoffs were to start tomorrow im pretty sure duncans touches would triple.
you cant rely on that all season. too many question marks regarding health.
Re: Are the Grizzlies better than the Spurs this year?
Not really. Eventually, it's all about matchups...
You would think Mavfan would know after the Golden State debacle..

Yep as is most of the NBA. We may be slightly better than the T-Wolves but, even that is questionable.
Re: Are the Grizzlies better than the Spurs this year?
It's not just Memphis...the Spurs have a combined 2 wins against the other 7 playoff teams. I wonder what Peter Holt thinks about all of this...
Spurs are better suited getting a lottery pick than making the playoffs this year. That way we can possibly add Splitter plus another youngster.
Re: Are the Grizzlies better than the Spurs this year?
How much better would they be if the AI acquisition worked?
I am surprised they have turned their season around so fast after starting poorly. Zach Randolph is playing out of his mind.

Well, Iverson wouldn't have worked on the Grizzlies, not enough basketballs for the team. Even Tinsley has proven his worth because of his leadership and distributing abilities. Iverson isn't a point guard so he wouldn't have helped Memphis unless he changed his playing style. Apparently, Lionel Hollins doesn't want to take any more shit from Iverson and just bought him out anyway.

Yeah you are probably right. I hate it though because the guy is my favorite player. I hate how the last 2-3 years have played out for him.

Findog.. do you think the Grizz are better than the Mavs this season?
Re: Are the Grizzlies better than the Spurs this year?
They weren't tonight. Enough said...
Re: Are the Grizzlies better than the Spurs this year?
They have been going in the right direction all year, so they've been far more consistent. Based on what they've seen, Memphis fans know what to expect from the next week from their team, which is more than Spurs fans can say.
