Recently I made a post about how you can watch a Grizzlies game for $2. The biggest pushback I had was “Grizzlies players were injured so who would want to go watch?”
Well, the Pistons and Wizards are currently battling it out for the title of worst NBA team in NBA history, and not only that have been 2 of the most hopeless teams for the past decade or so. As it turns out, the cheapest ticket to their thrilling rematch in January is $17, or an 850% increase over the cheapest Grizzlies ticket sold.
It’s also over 3x cheaper to watch Luka Doncic play in Memphis than it is to watch Jordan Poole vs Killian Hayes
Say it with me folks: Grizzlies live in Vancouver, not Memphis
My Raptors are a 6 hour flight away, so it’s not exactly accessible
My Grizzlies are a 21 hour flight away, you live with it. Stop campaigning to take “back” a team from Memphis that has already claimed basically 3 quarters of its existence there.All of the Grizzlies success has come after Vancouver.
Regardless of any behind the scenes stuff that led to the relocation, you of all people should be campaigning for a new one and not want to inflict that same feeling of losing your team to anyone else. Especially when it’s for something that happened over 20 years ago at this point and I haven’t heard anyone vocal enough about a Vancouver expansion team as much as a “let’s revenge fuck the grizzlies” team.
