This was the credit to Pelinka game. Reaves, Rui, DLO, Vandy, Schroder, all of them played great and carried the load AD and Lebron.

I really think we need to experiment w giving beasleys minutes to Lonny this series while we basically have a couple practice games against the teddy bears for the next rounds. Beasley has been Ass and we will need someone that isn’t such a net negative for his 10
Mins on court against better opponents

Prince + filler for Kobe Bryant
To be honest the way Prince has played and with Kobes injury/age/mileage Im not sure I would do that deal either. Still Prince is more important and he wins the head to head battles with Kobe.

Basketball gods smile upon humility and hard work.....


Guys keep the humble stance.
I love how lebron and ad keep the humility and just respond conservatively to the media.

Let's follow their lead and keep out of all the talk on general board and just remain vigilant and humble.
Let the Memphis keep running their mouths.


Mamba Lakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rui and Austin are must resign. I will personally go to LA and slap Jeanie if she refuses to fork over the cash for those two.

Vanderbilt, Rui, Reaves, D Lo, Schroeder, Brown all had good games. AD is a defensive monster. Bron looked not 38, but a bit tired. Brooks is indeed a handful. Would be good to see him put up 40 and 20 and 10 on Brooks’ ass next game.

Great win. The young guys were able to go on the road, and do what they do. This will hopefully go a long way in the confidence dept for a few of these guys. The CAN do it...and now they know.

Be prepared for the reality check. And be prepared for Grizz to come out like their lives depend on this game (if they go 0-2 at home, its a wrap, and they know it). If I'm Lebron, Im mentally preparing myself to take over next game, and use up one of those few 'monster games' he still has left in the bucket. Not from the get-go. Let your boys do their thing, and see if AD is still rolling. Same with the squad. If they are, then just sit back. But I have a feeling we're gonna need a big performance from him. Young guys will go up, but then they will go down. And 'consistency' hasnt been AD's middle name.

But that was huge. If AD is gonna play like this (and make it through) the whole way, and we continue to get a good overall game from our 3-7....we are gonna be real trouble. Great win, and Lebron didn't have to take over. I didnt expect that...no lie. Very impressed.

On a somber note: I really hope Ja's hand is ok, and he's good to go in next game or two. That looked nasty, and his body language was not good after the game. Would hate to see this guy have an Effed up hand. And for the sake of competition, I don't wanna see him out. If we're gonna beat the Grizz....i wanna 'Beat the Grizz'

Good stuff. Enjoy the rest, and let's see another performance like that Wed
