I too expect the Grizz to drop. Good stuff Lip. And losing Hollins was not good for them in the slightest.

They lost a great head coach in Hollins. I huge mistake if you ask me. They will also miss Gay over the long haul. The Griz have allstar caliber players at C and PF. The have very good players at PG and SG. Of course their SG is an excellent defender. They are solid but not a top team. They over-achieved under Hollins. Unless their new head coach is as good, they will play more to their level this season.

Sjm.......you are predicting that the wolves miss the playoffs?

[mjs34]

Yes I am. I don't think this team can stay healthy enough. I hope I am wrong, but the realist in me says too many guys will miss games.
