i know they are without Pau Gasol...but they currently hold the NBA's worst record at 5 wins 17 losses...they just dropped their 4th straight tonight in a home loss to the visiting Trailblazers..dropping to 3-6 at home, 0-4 division and dropping to 1-10 in their own Conference...their road record is also really bad at 2-11...

if memory serves me correct they are 0-8 lifetime in the playoffs as they were 8th seed both times and getting bounced out of the first round 4-0 both times...

anyone else happy they are not doing so well?...maybe its the curse of moving from vancouver i don't know

I think at this point, memories of the Vancouver Grizzlies seem almost like a mirage...did we really have an NBA team? :?

That being said, you can't help but smile whenever you read anything negative about the team, or that carpetbagger Heisley. :x

Maybe Heisley should be practicing the Mexican national anthem as he prepares to move his Grizzlies to Mexico City.

It's nice to see them failing miserably. My one wish was to see them fail in Memphis.

Man, I think the Grizzlies are the NBA equivalent of the Renegades as far as questionable management and ownership goes.

So that means they have made the playoffs at least 12 times? That's not too shabby.

In fact that means they've had 12 home playoff games. That's more than the Riders ... ;)

NO, it means that the Grizz have had a total of 12 playoff games played, and have not won a single game, so far.

As far as Heisly goes, he is attempting to sell off the majority of the Grizzlies for over $300M, far larger than the amount he originally paid for the entire team, and still retain a percentage of the team.....now that is a businessman. IIRC, his forte is to take over troubled company's and turn them around for a profit, the Grizzlies will have to rank as one of his better profit generators, at the expense of Vancouverites.

I follow them, and wear my Gasol jersey with pride even though they suck this season, so far.

Oops. My bad. Sorry don't watch B ball.

But my last statement still stands, that's still more home playoff games than the Riders ... :yes:

Sounds like the Grizz have fired Mike Fratello. Not too surprising, he's only lead them to 6 wins in about 30 games.
