	Vancouver Grizzlies (1995-2001)
		However the Grizzlies would lose their next 19 games, as they went on to finish in last place in the Midwestern Division with a NBA worse record of 15-67, as only 4 Grizzlies averaged 10 ppg, with Greg Anthony leading the way with a mediocre 14.0 ppg.
		The Grizzlies continued to struggle in their second season despite solid play from Shareef Abdur-Rahim who averaged 18.7 to leave the Grizzlies who again posted the worst record in the NBA at 14-68.
		Through their first few seasons the Grizzlies had drawn solid crowd, but after the lockout they were hit hard as fans in Vancouver seemed to reject the league after the ugly squabbling wiped out half of a season.

		The perception is that Vancouver is not a full partner in the NBA but a kind of hobbled, tag-along who soon is going to be too tired to try and keep up anymore; to Francis playing in Vancouver is akin to falling off the end of the earth.
		However, it must be noted that the particular manifestations of neo-avant garde practices in Vancouver have almost always asserted the weak over the radical argument: notions of autonomy and strategies of representation have not been played out, and rather, their continued validity is constituted by the very critiques that sought to abjure them.
		However, it is ironic to term Vancouver's art community a scene with regards to Watson's work, given his conviction as to the utter lack of any kind of identifiable scene in the community.

		Now, I understandif he's disappointed about not being drafted by his favorite team, the Bulls,and I even understand if he's upset about not going number one overall (just asMike Bibby was), but rumor has it, and I believe it, that the main problem is the endorsement opportunities that he lost.
		Turning to the power forward front, there is a large portion of the Vancouver public who seem to believe that Tony Massenburg is the ideal starting 4 for the team.
		He believes Massenburg is to slow to defend the athletic 4's in the west and his wide shoulders makes his lack of height much less of a disadvantage against centres.

		But Grizzlies management is faced with the dilemma of trying to market a team that many fans expect to be gone in three years.
