I'm with you. I think Cleveland made some nice upgrades this off-season; nothing headline-grabbing but still solid. They're just going toremain quiet until the season starts and hope everyone overlooks them because of their loss to the Magic. But I can see them being a problem in the East nextyear.Originally Posted by JapanAir21
I guess I'm the only one who sees them as a potential threat outside of CLE fans.Originally Posted by SCuse7
the Cavs don't even seem scary anymore. The Magic and us just have so much more depth then them its unfair.
Its amazing Ferry did so little to keep Lebron in town. Moon, Parker, Shaq
We seem pretty set for the rest of the off-season. So happy Ainge went out to get Marquis Daniels after Rasheed. We needed someone off the bench. Hopefully we get to keep Big Baby, but im sure he'll leave since we can't offer as high on the MLE as Detroit.
I just have memories of Bron beating that whole Pistons team, and he has a whole hell of a lot more help now then he did then, and that Pistons team was no slouch....
And if only Wade hadn't gotten to the line so often....

I was saying Cleveland isn't that scary after seeing Orlandos roster.
Any of the 3 teams could win the East still. As much as I don't think the Cavs did enough to help them in the playoffs,
Lebron can do a lot for that team no matter who else is on the team

Leego (SCREW TURK) but i honestly think our team will be better next season Howard, Jameer, Rashard, Vince, B-Bass, Pietrus, and now Barnes!!! It feels good to bea magic fan right now

I'd take CJ Watson in that uptempo offense backing up Nelson than Anthony Johnson though

Yep. Either one would be good. I would take AJ though since he doesn't turn the ball over, good bball IQ and just does the right thing as aveteran.
CJ can definitely score though and can play uptempo. That's what makes Orlando so scary. They can do just about any damn thing with their roster.

I'm willing to bet that he's going to be a good thing for the Grizz this season. There's a lot of things I've heard and took into considerationwith Z-Bo. He's a follower and judging by his past teams, I can see why he did some of the things he did. I just looked at a lot of these things the pastfew weeks and don't think he will actually be that bad surrounded by positive players.
Anybody willing to bet that he actually has a good season for Memphis and significantly improve their win total?

Thing is Zach has never been a bad basketball player. But he is a black hole for teams that he plays for.Originally Posted by bhzmafia14

That's what I'm really placing my bet on that he won't be the black hole that he's been proclaimed to be. He's no more than a black holethan Hakim Warrick. Statistically, Hak shoots the ball more and passes the ball a lot less than Z-Bo ruining the offense.
I got trust in the coach and Conley to run the offense fluently and this is by far the most talented team Memphis has ever had regardless or their currentchemistry. What's missing from the team that the old Grizz playoff teams had is veteran leadership, great chemistry (which they should have since theyshowed it at the end of the season last year), excellent outside shooting and great defense/coaching.
Randolph is 28 now and is about to have a newborn daughter. He's in a city that he can relate to other people easily and they would appreciate histoughness and image like they did with Bonzi Wells and J-Will. I just honestly believe he will help Memphis dramatically improve.
Two things will seal Memphis fate as it relates to playoffs.
One is OJ Mayo.
The other is Rudy Gay.
The better they get the better the grizzlies as a whole get. Nothing else really matters at this point.

He starts jacking up shots, the teams start losing and players start pointing fingers.
It's been that way every place he goes and I have no reason to believe that Memphis will be any different.
