    yeah unfortunate that his prime has ended and he never left memphis for a greener yard. maybe he can still go to the spurs and prolong his career for 2-3 more years.

    I didn't say harden wasn't getting fouled, but if you cannot see that the way he draws fouls is similar to the clippers flopping all over the place, then we just disagree.

    My point is that if you can't guard without fouling him, and it is clear that nobody in the league can, then you might as well back off of him and let him shoot uncontested 3 pointers.

    That's the reality of it. Harden has made it a art form.

    What are you talking about? I don't forgive the grizzlies for anything. The grizzlies gave that contract to Parsons because he was the only offensive player willing to come to Memphis.

    Do you think that the grizzlies would have given parsons that deal had KD been willing to come to Memphis? Don't act like you understand a small market team like the grizzlies. You don't.

    The grizzlies are a product of the new nba. And it is getting more and more like college football everyday. At one point the grizzlies and other small market teams could compete with other teams with defense, now that can't. That isn't a James Harden problem, that is an Adam Silver problem, as I said in my original post.

    I just don't know how you are suppose to guard harden if you can't even get in from of him without fouling.

    The biggest problem for the grizzlies other than the new rules is that they no longer have prime zbo, as I'm sure you are well aware. Marc just doesn't want to play offense, period and he certainly doesn't want to be the team's leading scorer.

    All Marc cares about is defense, which is fine, but the grizzlies can't just be Mike Conley and nobody else.

    Would Knight/Chriss/Meli(third team) and 3 firsts fly for Gasol? Put him at PF and move Tucker to sf.

    Perfect opportunity to get Casspi back. Can play defense and shoot the three, if they don't cut him, if I'm Morey I'm sending a second and cash, they still owe us for Dillon Brooks

    Omri sucked when he was here. I rather not have him back. We need a tough player that will rebound the ball and make threes. He isn't tough and will not rebound like we need him too.

    I think they were arguing about how the US handles foreign powers that don't see eye to eye with them. It's obvious Casspi believes in raising sanctions and tariffs, but Temple is in favor of inclusion policies and more efforts to further diplomacy. A fisticuffs emerged and now the matter is resolved. Case closed.
