Off the ropes moment Seach for HBK

Guess HBK does do a job!

NOW I'M MAD, IN MY OPINION: MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES,

A few nights ago, Dec 21, The Grizzlies lost a game the Nets. During the game Coach Lionel Hollins upset how the game was going turned around & swore at some fans. At first it was thought that the fans were drunk & acting out of line. It has since been revealed to the fan were not drunk, were not cussing or acting out of line & were 17. Later that night Coach Hollins had a incident with a member of the Memphis media. This game seems to have revealed some of the problems with the Grizzlies team & organization. During this post, I will discuss my thoughts about what the Grizzlies should do.

 Organization

 The main problem with the Grizzlies is ownership. Micheal Heisley can't run this team. He make the decision but what he decides many time is wrong. (Thabeet)  Heisley picked him, & now Chris Wallace the GM has the defend it. Heisley either is really cheap letting players go to get cap space (Warrick & Brewer). Or he overpays (Gay & Conley). He tried to sell the team for over 300 million, no takers. And after Jerry West left he now makes the decisions. He needs to sell the team. However, chances are he probably won't. If he doesn't he needs to let someone else run the team.Chris Wallace is the team's GM. If Heisley thinks Wallace can run the team let him run it. If not hire someone else to run it. Wallace is a very nice guy but if he can't run the team get someone else. Finally it is time to get a new coach. Not just because of the incidents on Tuesday,but because he has help cause some of the problems. He has changed the offence which has cause resentment because he is favoring Gay & Conley. He is also a hothead, who lashes out at members of the media, even media members, not asking questions. He is losing the team & now he is getting into it with season ticket holder children. Its time to go!

TEAM
 Many people think the Grizzlies are stuck with Gay & Conley, due to there contracts. I disagree with this. Randolph, Marc, & Mayo are the best players. They also are not overpaid. It will be hard, but it is better for the Grizzlies to trade Gay ,Conley while also moving Thabeet & Carrol even though they won't get much. The Suns, Nets, Knicks & Nuggets are looking to make trades. There are teams like the Raptors, Twolves, & Bobcats. The Grizzlies won't get what they want but they should get something. Before last year, the Grizzlies made deals for cap space & cap flexibility. The Grizzlies might need to make those kind of trade again. The deal that made Marc Gasol a Grizzly & Pau a Laker, also made Kwane Brown a Grizzlies. Fill roster sports with sign cheap players like Jamaal Tinsley who played well sometime for them last year. Make ZBO, Marc, & OJ the "core" for now anyway, in my opinion.

THE LAMMY'S AWARD, (IN MY OPINION)

This list covers the worst this year in TNA & WWE, with one mention of Lucha Libre USA. This list is my opinion that's all. If you have a problem with it please comment.(you would be the first)

NOW THE AWARDS!!!!!

Worst Wrestler (Male):  Eric Bishoff , Yes I know he is not a wrestling & that why he needs to stay out the ring. That match with Matt Morgan was stupid.
#Honorable mention; Darrel Young

Worst Wrestler(Female): Lacy Von Erich, She wins this for wasting her talent. Note, she has retired, I think because she realized wrestle wasn't for her.
#Honorable mention Layla ; thanks for helping kill the Women's belt. Michelle helped to but she is a better wrestler.

Worst Tag Team (2): Laycool, as mentioned before Laycool ruined the women's title & turned the belt into a joke. Moolah is turning in her grave. Cochampions = bad idea!
#Honorable mention; Generation ME, Yes, they are good in the ring but they still are Hardy Boy ripoffs.

Worst Faction(3+): Nexus, I am still waiting for how & why first year jobbers can take over WWE, & cause Orton & Cena more trouble than anyone ever!!NWO RIPOFF
#Honorable mention; Immortal, speaking of NWO ripoffs, really! aleast Nexus looks strong, Immortal cheats to help keep a champion who show up unfit to wrestle!  

Worst Match: Cena & Otunga laying down in a WWE tag title defend, Guess beside messing with Cena, Barrett wanted to embrass the only other really talented Nexus member.
#No Honorable mention.

Worst Storyline: Immortal , is a NWO ripoff, who is team with the TNA Fortune(4 horsemen) It's same ideas, TNA had the Band(Hall,Nash,Six & Eric Young) just a few months ago! By the way I like the Band better!
#Honorable mention; Nexus, see Worst Faction.

Worst Gimmick: Eric Young, TNA,WHY DO YOU HATE THIS MAN! HE CAN WRESTLE, IS OVER AS A FACE & A HEEL WHY!!! TNA !!!WHY!!!
#Honorable mention; NONE ,TO SAD ABOUT ERIC YOUNG TO THINK!!

Worst Decision: Moving TNA Impact to Monday night. TNA got crushed, & I think the reason WWE had so many bad raws was because Vince stopped seeing TNA as a theat.
#Honorable mention; Ron Brewer, son of the Arizona Governor Jane Brewer,  I know there is a history of heels being topical. The problem with Brewer is most American agree with the Arizona law! If a bigger company had used Brewer they would have been in trouble.To better explain my position. What if there was a heel, who was pro tax cuts & was consider a bad guy for thinking that.

Moment so bad it was good: J-WOW vs Cookie, I've said it before & I will say it again they did more work that night than most of the TNA roster!!
#Honorable mention; Juan Cena, if they had done it, it would have won this! Best Cena idea ever!!

My NBA All-Star Picks

Voting is open for the starting 5 for the 2010-11 NBA ALL-STAR GAME on NBA.com.  You must be a member of NBA.com. Membership is FREE!!! You can vote more than once, limit one per 24 hours. I have voted a couple of time & will vote a few more time.

MY PICK

EAST

GUARD: DERRICK ROSE, BULLS

GUARD:DWAYNE WADE, HEAT

FORWARD:LEBRON JAMES, HEAT
FORWARD:AMARE STOUDEMIRE, SUNS

CENTER: DWIGHT HOWARD. MAGIC

WEST

GUARD: CHRIS PAUL, HORNETS

GUARD: KOBE BRYANT, LAKERS

FORWARD: KEVIN DURANT, THUNDER

FORWARD: ZACH RANDOLPH, GRIZZLIES
CENTER: MARC GASOL, GRIZZLIES

Note: This list is a normal type of list except for two changes.The two  Grizzlies!! I know people will think I am being a homer, but I believe Zach, should be a starter, if only because he took over the Grizzlies- Heat even though the Grizzlies didn't even give him the ball. He took over though rebounds & put backs. He has done this a couple of time & is Memphis's best player. Even if They don't know it. With Marc, I dare anyone to look at the center's list & tell me that anyone of them is better than Marc Gasol. It's funny former Grizz Pau Gasol will probably start over Zach, Duncan, & Dirk . But Marc will be behind injured Yao, Kaman & some dude nobody knows!
Yes, I also pick two Heat players. Anyone how disagrees needs to GROW-UP!!

The Future

This Monday during WWE Raw they are holding the Slammys. While this is on I will be holding my own parody awards "The Lammys" on twitter. My page is  http://twitter.com/MemphisSportFan or just follow me at @MemphisSportFan on twitter. While the Slammys are about the year's best in WWE, the Lammys are about the year's worst in major pro wrestling. They are based on my opinion so a lot of people won't like them. That is if a lot of people seen them anyway.

 As in the next few days I will post on this site Great Moments in Memphis Football. Fact is this has been a bad year for University of Memphis Football so I will post "good" moments of all Memphis Football history. Yes. some moments may seem like joke but I will explain why I posted them.

 Here is a link to my youtube channel.http://www.youtube.com/user/MemphisSportsFan  I have 12 favorites & 2 playlist the 730 "foxsports" playlist & the jibjab year in review playlist. I will upload something as soon as I get a good camera & a computer that is newer, the one I am on is old & slower than paint drying.

Vicki Guerrero quits GM and edge want divorce

Edge & Vickie, The End!! Nuff Said!

NOW I AM MAD, OPEN LETTER 2 TNA WRESTLING.

Note: I did not see TNA's Final Resolution this post is based on reports from wrestling sites such as NoDq.com & Lords of Pain. I am also relying on things I have read on Twitter.

Dear TNA:

 What is wrong with you! In case the people reading this don't know tonight Sunday, December 5, 2010 TNA has lost there minds! I don't know who it is that thinks Jeff Hardy should still be TNA World Champion but that person or persons should be let go! In case you miss it, Jeff Hardy almost didn't wrestle tonight due to fitness to wrestle issues. I haven't seen him but people are saying he looked high! Given Hardy's history I wouldn't be shocked!

  When you (TNA) signed Hardy it was after he had been arrested & charged with drug offences. In WWE, it was well known & mentioned on TV that Jeff had 2 strikes against him. To be fair, WWE wanted Jeff to stay. He left a contract offer on the table, to go to you. When WWE offered Jeff the contract, I was shocked. WWE since the death of Chris Benoit has made it a point to say that they have a tough antidrug policy. You claim to have a antidrug policy, I don't know what it is. That last sentence is why Jeff is now in TNA,in my opinion. Jeff who is under a indictment for drug possession & drug trafficking is using your lax drug policy to do whatever.The worst part is that Jeff Hardy was & still is very popular. This is why you must act. Jeff Hardy is heading for a crash & burn! You at the very least needs to get your belt off him! Don't put it back on RVD, he is also known for using drugs. If TNA doesn't have Jeff drop the belt. It can & will be embrassing for you. But maybe that is what the power to be at TNA want. Or at least TNA's name getting out! No even I don't think Hogan & Bishoff are that dumb. I asume if Jeff keeps the belt it will be because your fear of losing the "Hardy fans". I wonder what TNA does when you lose fans who are mad that TNA made wrestling look bad by being stupid. When this happens TNA, what will you do.

& NOW I AM MAD!!! Coach says Memphis Grizzlies lack leadership! DUH!

Tonight I have just read in a story from the Memphis Commercial Appeal that Grizz Coach Lionel Hollins called out the team at practice today. His main complaint the team lacks leadership ! I was & still am shocked. I mean ALL YEAR! Coach Hollins & the Grizz TV crew having been talking about Mike Conley JR's leadership. This is not me attacking Conley, while I think he is part of the problem he is not the main one. The main problem with the team & "leadership" IS THE COACH!! But lets go back to last Friday when former grizz Kyle Lowry went off & outplayed Conley. Lowry was traded to the Rockets a few years ago because in part he was unhappy being Conley backup. Lowry had outplayed & took over the starting point guard job. This is before Coach Hollins came in tookover coaching the grizz & gave the starting job back to Conley. Yep, the only reason Conley got to start was because Hollins said so. Moving on, there had been talk of giving OJ Mayo a chance to play point. Hollins has been & still is against this! He said OJ can't be a point because of his scoring abilty, that he can't lead the team, run a offence or & I will get back to this later get his teammates involved. That he would be a shoot first point guard. Finally OJ got his chance in summer league for 2 games before Hollins said he was done. Why because Hollins said so. Since then OJ, who Coach Hollins said was a shooting guard, now comes off the bench, behind the rookie Henry. They there is the contracts both Conley's & Rudy Gay's. Some of the other guy are not happy.Zach Randoph is probably one of them. Z-bo was a leader last year & a all-star. He was there best player & averaged a double-double. Z-bo was the main scoring option last year. But not this year. This year the main scoring option is Rudy. Marc Gasol also had a good year last year. When he got hurt the team had trouble. They can't resign him yet but they might not have enough money for them both. Plus OJ's contract will be up soon/ Knowing this the Grizz gave Rudy a max deal & resigned Conley for 5 years for 40 million. I don't know if he agreed with Rudy's deal, but I know he supported the Conley deal. Since then the offence or what the Grizz call a offence is centered around Rudy Gay & Mike Conley, the guys with the new deals. Z-bo & Gasol get ball sometimes but even against small teams, the offence stays the same. OJ over the last 2 years has played good. This year OJ is in a slump & is not shooting well. While starting he did not get the ball consistently. He gets the ball more now that comes of the bench with the backups. The change in the offence is likely a reason players are unhappy. 

 Now focusing on Conley, Coach Hollins said he is the leader. That he would & can get his teammates involved, & run a offence. Conley is considered a pass first point guard.Conley everbody says has improved over his years of starting. He has. how ? BY BECOMING A SHOOT FIRST POINT GUARD!! Mike Conley scores points. He don't get a lot of assist. just under 7per game the year. he had, 5per last year. He get 2 steals so he is very good this year at that, but steals lead to points usually for the stealer not assist. He is scoring 15.5 a game. His big game, like the one against the Lakers, he had a big scoring game. He is not getting the other guys involved. The offence is isolations for Rudy & Conley, Gasol pick & roll. This is what Coach Hollins said OJ can't run! I would be in a slump to if somebody told me that! Should be noted that last year they used a OJ isolation to & they run it we he comes of the bench. There games where I can't understand why they don't just give the ball to Gasol or Zbo, & get out of their ways. Why can't Conley get OJ & Rudy involved together. Why does the Grizz pass first point guard shoot so much.

 This is my point, The Coach chose the point guard. He said because he passes better, yet he shoots alot! He gave Conley years to get good at starting, we are still waiting. Yet OJ is coming off the bench due to a slump.The offence still looks, well I don't know what is the offence besides Isolations, pick & rolls, & hitting the open man. The offence the coach thinks OJ can' run.The big men who are the best players get the ball sometimes. Rudy & Conley trying to prove they are worth the contracts. Coach letting them maybe even helping not sure, People are unhappy about money & the Grizz still are not know for being a high money spender! That's the owner, I will write about Heisley later. & there is a leadership problem even though you just resigned the leader "for 40 million". Yea there is a leadership problem. With the Coach.

The Story That Lead to this Rant!

Return of the Prince (James)

Dear Lebron haters:

 Thank you for ruining my fun! On 12/02/2010, Tomorrow Lebron James returns to Cleveland. I don't know how I feel. My background, I am a Laker fan & have been since childhood. I also roots for the Grizzlies the NBA team that plays in my hometown. As a Laker fan I at first had no problem with James. Then me & other Laker fans begin to hear crazy things. That Lebron is better than Kobe. This made me & other Laker fans unhappy. Then I started to see Lebron act like a child. He disrespected the Magic when they beat him in the Conference finals. I saw him dance during blowouts.I was not amused. Many people defend him & bash Kobe. I heard people including even Magic Johnson declare the he had taken the torch from Kobe. I knew all it would take was one chance for Kobe to get Lebron in the Finals & this would be destroyed. That didn't happen the Cavs crashed & burned again & James left town. He went to the Heat & with Bosh & Wade formed a new Big 3. Most people said again Lebron was going to beat Kobe though after Kobe & LA beat Boston's big 4, people admitted Kobe was better.  I knew if LA played Miami in finals Kobe would finally crush Lebron. Except something happened I didn't expect. Fan turned on Lebron & the Heat. Cleveland now hate Lebron for how he left. Lebron is now the bad guy. That fact is Cleveland, Lebron left because nobody wanted to go there.Lebron left to win titles. If Cleveland can't understand that then that's why their teams don't win titles. Yes, Lebron is a selfish jerk, but Cleveland, lormer Lebron fan you let him be one for years. Now after years of hearing from James fans, the Lebron has no help excuse, now Laker fans have to watch all of James's former fans whine about how they hate him. Plus the Heat are not playing good & infighting. Thus ruining our fun. So tonight I will root for the Heat just to see Kobe beat Lebron in the finals.
