Hubie Brown may have lead the Memphis Grizzlies to 50 wins and their first ever trip to the Playoffs, but listen to GM Jerry West and you'll hear praise of things much greater than the surface items which earned Brown the Coach of the Year award.

"He hid a lot of our weaknesses all year long," West said. "This team does have warts."

Some of these warts may have been exposed during the team's first round sweep at the hands of the Spurs, and because of this don't expect West to stand still during the offseason.

"My job is to be objective," West said. "I don't care who (the player) is. My hope is to do what's best for the franchise."
