I do from time to time, because at least he admits when he was wrong on a prediction or assumption. I feel he is more locked on than the locked on crew.

That said, I really don't worry too much about Memphis.
1. They have one big man with talent and he picks up fouls easily. We have 15 fouls we can absorb with him in Johnson, Reed, Jr., and Singare if need be. Cisse is 7'0" but not very talented and not as much a worry.
2. Their guards are 6'3" and 6'0" (I know, sneaker debate but it is what it is) while we have similar in Maheney at 6'3" and Diarra 6'2" and Ball 6'3" with longer reach.
3. They have no one who can cover Karaban. Haggerty at the 4 is not his best role and Karaban would feast.
4. They have no one who can cover McNeeley. Haggerty at the 3 is OK but McNeeley is (or will be) better than him talent-wise - plus if Haggerty is moved to a wing position, their guards are less a threat as he's their main dude.

We have Stewart, Ross, Abraham for bench better athletes than they have and they do not have much of a bench at all. Notice Haggerty plays 1-4 but let's wear him out chasing ghosts on D.
