The spring activities that best honor destroyed NBA playoff teams

Let’s be honest: It’s not going to be a particularly lengthy playoffs for teams like the Grizzlies, Mavs, Rockets, and Hornets, so we try to figure out ways in which those teams (and fans of those teams) should best spend their spring in order to maximize production and quality of life.

• What backyard activity best captures the essence of what Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder are doing to the Masking Tape Mavs?
• What perfect exemplifies the spirit of James Harden and the Rockets and what they need to do to bounce back next season?
• How can the Hornets best take advantage of being in Miami, beyond grabbing defensive rebounds and preventing second chance points?
• Where can the Grizzlies and Grizz fans go to best deal with the reality of being beat up, both physically and mentally?

We’re here to help, so hopefully everyone can really do spring correctly this year.
