At Least D Is Still Passing

Hasheem Thabeet, the 7-foot-3, number 2 overall draft pick of the Memphis Grizzlies, was recently demoted to the teams D-league until he is ready to produce in the NBA.  I was unaware that NBA teams had a minor leagues, but if he is now in the D-league of the NBA’s D team, then that must make him a???

Crap I hate math.

High School Team Drops 110 Points on Suns

I’m not kidding, that could happen.

Honestly, the Phoenix Suns are a joke. They have given up 100 or more points in 34 of 42 games this season. Being the highest scoring team in the NBA is great, unless you’re the second worst defensive team in the NBA.

The Memphis Grizzlies scored 125 points on the Suns tonight, making it the 9th straight game that the Suns have given up over 100 points on defense, and 6th loss in the same stretch.

Watching the Suns play basketball is like watching playground games with one white guy running the point. Except even Nash doesn’t play D. There was better defense in Charles Manson’s court case than the Suns have in a home game.

If you bet on the Suns, bet on them to lose. Any other bet is like wiping your butt with money.

Memphis Beats Clippers After Bogus Fire Alarm Stunt

Anyone who watched the first 3 quarters of the LA Clippers at Memphis tonight will tell you that the Clippers dominated the Grizzlies up and down the court for those 3 quarters. Mysteriously, at the end of the 3rd quarter, with the Clippers up 11 points, a fire alarm went off at FedExForum in Memphis, clearing the players from the court and the fans from the venue.

Once play resumed, Memphis proceeded to score 25 points to the Clippers measly 12.

Now I’m not saying Marc Gasol pulled the fire alarm himself or anything, but this smells fishier than a Jersey Shore bikini contest.

From All-Star to Journeyman

Cornelius Wellington III    Memphis Grizzlies, NBA     A.I. and Memphis, allen iverson, Memphis Grizzlies, NBA Rumors

Allen Iverson and the 2-8 Memphis Grizzlies have come to a mutual agreement to terminate the absent shooting guard’s contract.

Remember when this guy was a lock for the All-Star game and kept his teams relevant?

I wonder what got in the way?

I can’t tell if this guy is an athlete or a rapper/actor/fashion model.

Grizzles Don’t Extend Gay

Michalis Hatzigiannis    Memphis Grizzlies, NBA     2010 NBA Free Agent Class, Contract Extension, Memphis Grizzles, Rudy Gay

The Memphis Grizzles and forward Rudy Gay were unable to reach an agreement on an extention.  He will become a restricted free agent at the end of this season.  It has been reported that he was offered 50 million over 5 years.

He now joins the likes of these individuals in the 2010-11 free agent class, to name a few.

LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Amar’e Stoudemire, 

Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Yao Ming, Mike Redd, 

Tyson Chandler, Joe Johnson, Ray Allen, Manu Ginobili, 

Marcus Camby, Jermaine O’Neal, Mike Miller, 

Shaquille O’Neal, Carlos Boozer.  

Did I also mention the salary cap will also be decreased.

They should just rename the NBA Prison, or West Hollywood because there is going to be a huge demand for Gay….

He will most likely be traded at some point this season and signed to a contract similar to the offer he just received, maybe less.

Michael Beasley Rehab Update

The Miami Heat are reporting that Michael Beasley has returned to the team after his one month drug rehab stint this summer. The press maintains that his drug problem is marijuana related, but any non-nerd will tell you that people don’t go to rehab for green. He’s either got the Vince Young suicide issues or he’s been getting into harder drugs with his new found NBA salary. Either way, we have already drafted a few articles that may need to be posted during this coming NBA season.

-Thursday Oct. 22nd, 2009
Miami Heat guard, Michael Beasley is in the hospital today suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after watching Allen Iverson drop 55 pts on the Heat last night in a 103-82 Memphis Grizzlies win over the lowly Heat. Miami is now 0-6 this season with losses to the aforementioned Grizzlies and the OKC Thunder. Hospital officials say that Beasley’s poor showing of 2pts and 1 rebound have driven him into a deep depression.

-Thursday Oct. 29th, 2009
Good news for the Heat this week, Michael Beasley is no longer depressed about his life after watching the Knicks play the Heat last night in Miami. When asked about the sudden turn-around from a week ago, Beasley responded, “I’m just happy I don’t play for the Knicks. Life is great!!!”

-Friday Nov. 13th, 2009
Friday the 13th has turned ugly for the Heat early this morning, as guard Michael Beasley was arrested by Cuyahoga County Deputy Sheriff, Shaquille O’Neal early this morning following the Heat’s 40 pt loss to the Cleveland LeBrons. Beasley was pulled over by Deputy Shaq as he was cruising Cleveland’s bar scene in “The Flats” around 3AM yelling at girls leaving the clubs “I’m from Miami B*TCH!!” while bumping some terrible music in his rental car. When asked about the arrest, Shaq mumbled a bunch of stuff that no one could understand, he then smiled, and started freestyling. Stay tuned for updates.

Hopefully none of these stories ever need to be used, but it’s always good to be prepared.
