Yay.
CAPTCHA: lyings. AI would be lyings if he said he was excited about going to Memphis.
Stephon Marbury's response to rumors: "If you think I'm gay, leave me in a room with your girlfriend for an hour."
Two comments...
1) Marbury is pure comedy gold.
2) Maybe he's not gay but bisexual.
...not that's there's anything wrong with that!
"With news filtering out yesterday that Allen Iverson is joining a Memphis team that already includes O.J. Mayo, Zach Randolph and Rudy Gay, I feel it’s my duty to report that the NBA record for fewest assists per game by a team is 15.6, set by Atlanta in the lockout-shortened 50-game 1998-99 season.
Just pointing it out for future reference. "
Dan B. -- A.I. Tweeted off-panel immediately after the conversation.
Cortez -- His brain filter was physically removed. I'm sure of it.
clicc916 -- They're going to be so unstoppable that one ball won't be enough.
Lord Kerrance -- Consider that watch ON.
CassavaLeaf -- The picture of God is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And the conversation is based on that movie as well.
But it's all about that mirror image with comic book bubbles, which is why you're my #1 sloppy seconds bro.
BTW, that last comic by GYWO is great. It really symbolizes how the newspaper/web comics industry took a big hit once GWB left office, like 8 years of prosperity vanished.
You have now entered the ranks of mind-numbingly horrifying moments, along with the mangina from Silence of the Lambs and Deliverance.
With a word verification of "mandogic".
Huh. Maybe I should rephrase that.
Permission granted to use "AI-Team" and all its harmless wreckage as a motif for the Grizzlies.
Axe Head - awesome. Except this time it's the AI team that can't hit a shot from 10 feet away.
One question about the Grizzist watch - do Kobe Bryant Assists count? If so they've got that 15 or so APG smoked!

If we've learned nothing else from the Living Large series, we've certainly learned that :)
WV: Recest - With all the talk of sloppy seconds going around, this may end up becoming a problem down the line.
I didn't think it was possible, but someone managed to put together a team as hilarious as Isiah's Knicks
Anyways, for content, I have to admit I've become intrigued by the potential train-wreck bawful in Memphis this season. So much so, that my idea for the season on BasketBawful would be called
Grizz Watch.
Basically, instead of looking at Block Against like the Yao Watch, we'd examine the MIN, FGA, and AST of each player of the Gay-Mayo Era 2.0, in addition to any other fun stats as they arise, like TOs. As background, the Memphis Grizzlies ranked near last in every meaningful category in the league last season. With the notable additions of Zach Randolph and Allen Iverson, let's kick things off by looking at some career averages of the 7 players likely to get the most minutes:
Mayo - 38:06, 6.9/15.7 (43.8%), 3.2 AST
Gay - 33:47, 6.4/14.2 (45.0 %), 1.7 AST
Gasol - 30:41, 4.3/8.1 (53.0%), 1.7 AST
Conley - 28:48, 3.8/8.7 (43.7%), 4.3 AST
Iverson - 41:23, 9.4/22.1 (42.5%), 6.2 AST
Randolph - 30:00, 6.6/14.2 (46.6%), 1.7 AST
Arthur - 19:18, 2.5/5.7 (43.8%), 0.6 AST
Okay, so that's 222 minutes (out of 240), 39.9/88.7 (45.0%), and 19.4 AST per game, which is an improvement from last year's horrible gay-mayo of 17.4, but still puts them at the bottom of the league. Obviously it's hard to project AI's performance, like AST numbers, when on the Memphis squad. Not to mention that's three guards with 110 minutes that need to be squeezed into 96. But that's why we need the Grizz Watch for next season.
QED,
