Raptors down 76ers to win first ever division title

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

props to the raptors, theyve shown a canadian market can handle the nba.......i used to hit up grizzlies games all the time, its a shame they didnt last (i blame poor drafting, not the market)

LOL...You think if Vancouver drafted Kobe instead of Shareef and kept Mike Bibby they'd still be in business?

well, who knows what wouldv happend its all "what ifs".  Shareef and Bibby were actually more than decent, i was talking more about Big Country Bryant Reeves and his retarded 60 million dollar contract. And before they drafted Steve Francis...he'd already said specifically that he wouldnt play in Canada....they couldv drafted someone who wouldv played for them,   there was a couple other moves they had the opportunity to make and didnt...i remember when they moved the Vancouver Sun did an article on the roster the Grizzlies couldv had, it was basically an allstar team, I dont remember who was on it now cuz its been so long,  but anyways...they might not have had to sell the team to the guy who was hellbent on moving it to Memphis if theyd had a better roster and made the playoffs a year or 2

thats the last im gonna say on it, i really dont give a fuck about basketballl anymore, i was just sayin that i enjoyed the time the grizz were in vancity

PG Mike Bibby
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Michael Finley
PF Lamar Odom
C Jamaal Magloire

They also coulda had...
Joe Johnson, Richard Jefferson, Zach Randolph, Tony Parker, Baron Davis, Jamal Crawford, Quentin Richardson, Wally Szczerbiak, Richard Hamilton, Andre Miller, Shawn Marion, Vince Carter, Jason Terry, Corey Maggette, Ron Artest, Andrei Kirilenko, Manu Ginobli, Michael Redd, Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Al Harrington, Ricky Davis, Tracy McGrady, Stephen Jackson, Cuttino Mobley, Stephon Marbury, Ray Allen, Peja Stojakavic, Steve Nash, Jermaine O'Neal, etc.

^^  yea, so many possibilities,  i think stoudamire was on there too. whatever,  hindsight is 20/20.   I still cant believe someone signed big country to that deal tho.
NIK....you dont think they wouldv stayed in vancouver if they'd had the roster you just put up?


and what happened to Felipe Lopez? I still have his vancouver jersey, but havent heard anythin about him in years

LMAO, they made a jersey for that scrub?

To answer your question though, yea, I do think Vancouver Grizzlies would have still been in business under the right management.

worst champs ever???  how so?

our teams headcoach was out for a significant period of time not only that but we've fought injuries with our role players and we havent had our 2 mega superstars healthy all year until now, shaq was out first portion of the season, now dwayne wade 2nd part of the season we havent had d wade up until now we have both of our superstars and a full sqaud .. cept for G.P.these last couple of games

but were ready to play when it matters MOST, the preseason =P
we showed what we could do last year with our heart, raptors havent proven shit but that the east was weak as hell this year

^Get over it, the Heat are BY FAR the worst champs ever.

Being a Diehard Maple Leafs fan, and a big Raptors fan. It's good to see one of the teams making up the slack for the other. Also, the Blue Jays look like contenders this year too 

chill

yeah go jays!  hopefully the big hurt goes yard, vernon has a great year and redd johnson gets mad bitches

agreed with the leafs/raps statement. fucking leafs, lol. thank god for the raps. I can't see our jays making much noise. i got a feeling it'll be same shit as last season, just missing the playoffs
