Congrats to the Grizz

Gotta give those boys their props! They clinched a spot with their win tonight. They're not going to be an easy out in the playoffs.

[Darrin]

I think this is as far as they go for the next several years. I cannot see them building more than a 6-8 seed in the Western Conference, first round out.

[Holden_Caulfield]

are they better without rudy gay?

I think they really surprised everyone this year. But i agree-this is as far as they can come with this core of players.

oops lemme try that again...

There we go. Still getting the hang of this...

There we go. Still getting the hang of this...

They have Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, and OJ Mayo as free agents. Assuming they re-sign all those players, they will be capped out. Rudy Gay is the leader of the pack and he's not a top-30 player in my opinion. They are a tough team, but I doubt they will go anywhere in the West.

I agree they are unlikely to get past the 1st round. They could still push a series to 6 games though.

[Bito Corleone]

Nobody should dismiss them in the first round. I'm not going as far so say that I really think they'll win a series this year, but I don't think there is a team in the West that wants to face them in the first round. Don't be the least bit surprised if whatever series they are in ends up going to 7 games.
