Yes, because we should all base our fandom on Hootie's bullshit rules.

My rule is I stick with the same team my entire life. I'm a ****ing Mets fan based on who I liked when I was 8 years old - the same as the rest of my sports teams.

Haven't had time to post much lately and haven't really read anything in this thread. I'm just basing this conversation on tonight.

Oh jesus. Are you two gonna get into a thing now and start going back and forth all night? It's just a little game with a rubber ball.

No, I'm going to bed. The only thing more riveting than this is working the concession stand in 6 hours at a t-ball game.

I still think Kevin Durant is going to beat everyone in the West anyway...except maybe the Spurs. The other teams in this conference could have really used a Memphis upset.

Not without ZBo and with a one legged Conley on the road. Those two, along with Gasol, completely drive their offense. Conley off pick and roll, Gasol at the free throw line and ZBo on the block is their meat and potatoes.

Now Tony Allen is questionable with an eye injury. One of the Memphis media guys said it doesn't look good. Perfect.

People forget that they lost Quincy Pondexter early in the year also. He'd developed into a nice bench/part time starting type player. Hopefully they can get through next season healthy, but ZBo isn't getting any younger.

While I agree the Grizzlies can't beat the Thunder with out Zbo, I assure you the Thunder can beat the Thunder as long as timid little Scott is running the show.

I really don't think so. As bad as Brooks is, the Grizz just won't be able to score enough. And if Tony Allen is out, they won't be able to slow Durant. Add Conley playing hurt and that home crowd? I just don 't think it's possible.
