Memphis Grizzlies

The NBA has long since outgrown its divisions, and it’s starting to show. Though there are still divisions, the first step in marginalizing, if not eradicating, them will begin next year when the seeding of conference playoff teams is decided by record. Kurt Helin of ProBasketballTalk was the first to bring confirmation: It's official: NBA [...]

Although no final decision has been made, the Memphis Grizzlies and their fans deserve to a little sigh of relief regarding the future of their All-Star Center Marc Gasol. Ever since Memphis was eliminated from the playoffs courtesy of the Warriors, rumors have been swirling that their beloved Spaniard may be ready to part ways [...]

With just a few hours remaining before game five, the Grizzlies will look to redeem themselves from a crushing 101-84 defeat back in game four against the Warriors by returning the favor. Unfortunately, they might have to do this without one of their key players and premiere defender Tony Allen, who is ailing with a [...]

Pat yourself on the back. Do the self-five. Pound your chest. Hell, play some pocket billiards if you’re into that sort of thing. You deserve it. Because the 2014-15 NBA regular season is over. And you made it. Now it’s off to the playoffs, which begin Saturday. And thank heavens for the brief respite in [...]

We all knew the Western Conference was terrific. But the forthcoming conclusion to the 2014-15 campaign has exceeded most expectations. The two-time defending conference and 2014 NBA champion San Antonio Spurs have recovered from an injury-infested season and risen to the No. 2 seed in the West. However, the Spurs have only achieved that status [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

As Grizzlies forward Jeff Green received the ball, his eyes were immediately set on the rim and clearly only had one thing in mind, which was to score no matter what and even if it means having to dunk over someone. And he did just that, by elevating for a huge poster dunk over Spurs [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]

Marc Gasol and the New York Knicks’ dance around and toward each other continues. Actually, it’s not so much a two-party dance as it is one-sided stalking. One party (the Knicks) is obviously gunning for the other, while the targeted party (Gasol) tries to elude their grasp, at least for now, amid a heated NBA [...]
