Guys need to come out with some energy (and might I say anger)...something I thought they would do after the GS game last Friday. Have to get this one with San Antonio looming.

I'm actually going to this one so I'll do my part. Hope the players do theirs ha

The Grizzlies have a tough road ahead of them now. The key losses from this past week did not make things any better for the Grizzlies to catch up to the fifth spot. At this point, they have to win the majority of their games to get to sixth and hope the Warriors, Mavs, and Suns stumble down the stretch for the Grizzlies to have a chance.

Denver will be fighting hard for revenge in this game. The Grizzlies cannot afford to screw up from the players to it's coach. Be smart, make the necessary adjustments, and watch the minutes played by each player.

Game day. The guys need to come out with some intensity...and maintain the intensity. I want them to play like they are fighting for their playoff lives (which they are).

Nice start. +10 points and Faried to the bench for a little while. We definitely need to win this one.

As I am in the uk, I am watching the game online in a bet website. As advertisement are not allowed, I just can hear the commentators talking about the game. No good words for the Nuggets. Not good at all...

There are never easy wins for the grizzs, never.

That is funny. Sometimes NBA League Pass malfunctions and they leave on the commentators during commercial. Usually pretty boring stuff but it is funny when they are talking trash and hearing their normal voice instead of their on-air personality.

The Nuggets either fought back or the Grizzlies kinda stop trying we had that double digit lead in the 4th. I'm not sure which. But seeing the lead go away at all in the 2nd half was baffling. The Nuggets seem to lack any kind of cohesion and game plan. Like street ball basically. That was a pretty ugly game all in all. :crazy:

It was good to see our bench getting some quality minutes though in a home win.

Good to get the win. You could tell there was a lot of uneasiness from the fans around me at the game(including myself). I kept thinking of the worst, but I still believed we would somehow get the win. But some of those fouls at the end of the game...

I don't get to go to a ton of games (because I live more towards Middle TN), but I am 3-0 this year when going to the games. So, I kept my 2013-2014 season streak alive. Also, I was able to get Mike Miller to sign my jersey! Overall, great time. On to the next one...

^ Welcome aboard. Good to hear you bring the good luck charm. Now we need you to fly out for some first round playoff games if we get a spot.

Our big 3 looked strong in this one, all with 20+ points. Continue to love Conley's game.

Randy Foye had a big night against us. On another note, don't know how Conley got a foul when Lawson rolled his ankle.

I don't know. My playoff record (being at the game) is not quite as good as my regular season record haha. I'm 4-3 over our 3-year playoff span. Hopefully we make it this year, so I can improve on the record. Really would love to get the win tomorrow. No Tayshaun Prince according to the Commercial Appeal.

You never want to see players get hurt, but it's not much of a loss.

True. They are going to do just like they did in the playoffs. Load up on our bigs and allow our perimeter players to shoot. But with Tayshaun out and our additions of Lee and Miller, let's hope we knock down some shots and free up the bigs.

I'm guessing we will start Miller in place of Prince (like they did last night to start the 2nd half).

That turn out to be a bad idea since since MM would draw Kawhi Leonard. He owned the Grizz for a career high 26pts.
