My Corner of the World

What would you do if you were Memphis Grizzlies' bossman Jerry West? Owner Michael Heisley? Coach Mike Fratello?

The Commercial Appeal mentioned this morning the team could be losing millions; consistent fan attendance is a problem; of course, it's well documented how poorly they performed in the offseason.

The team is clearly better than it was just five years ago. The fans I have spoken with are upset over losing to the Dallas Mavericks, but even more upset over what they felt was a lack of urgency from some of the Grizz stars. As one guy told me, "I told an usher after game 4 I deserved my money back, and she replied, 'Everyone here deserves it.'"
