When did the Vancouver Grizzlies leave?

Last year. They packed their bags and moved to Memphis. [/QUOTE]Aw... I think I used to have a Grizzlies T-shirt. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Were they ever any good, or just mediocre?

Not even mediocre, they sucked major ass.

Not really a surprise, knowing that it takes every expansion team usually quite a few years to come up with a playoff caliber roster. The Charlotte Hornets had a decent roster pretty fast after their arrival, but Michael Jordan's return with the Bulls stood in the way of a succesfull playoff campaign. After that season, the team fell apart, and never reached the same level again. And then they too moved away to New Orleans.

Seattle and Washington got thrased. Eep.

Timber Loftis · 05-09-2005, 12:50 PM

Daaa Bulls...

CHOKED! Hey, take note you young players, you can't catch the ball if your back is turned to it.

I'm thinking the Heat's the team to beat.

Timber Loftis · 05-09-2005, 12:51 PM

Oh, and let me not desparage the Bulls too much. They gave us a better season than we expected, and a better one than we've been accustomed to lately.

And besides, MJ didn't turn the Bulls into a championship caliber team over one year either. Give em a little time.

I think a Suns-Heat finals matchup would be the only one really worth watching.

I might turn in if the Pistons make it, or if the Spurs and Heat take it to Game 7. [img]graemlins/basket.gif[/img]

I think a Suns-Heat finals would be a pretty onesided series. The suns have absolutely nobody who can stop O'Neal.

Man, 1st round of the playoffs were great... the 2nd round... blah.

johnny · 05-11-2005, 10:07 AM

Pretty onesided so far, like i expected.
