The Grizzlies have the best record in the NBA...

Memphis' schedule gets a lot easier too:

Nov, 19th VS Denver
Nov, 23th VS LA Lakers
Nov, 26th VS Cleveland
Nov, 28th VS Toronto
Nov, 30th VS Detroit



All at home, and the only tough game is the Lakers.

If the Grizz are anything like the Clippers, better watch out for those cupcake games. For some reason the clippers always come out so latharic against weak teams and then play right at their level. Worry about those more than the big game now whee I know their energy will be high.

That's what happened in Charlotte yesterday but still managed to get the win. Having a good bench is of critical importance to overcome those kind of games.

Scarey to think how good they could have been if they drafted Harden in 2009 instead of Thabeet

They never considered Harden f i recall correctly, the other possible choices were Evans or Rubio, and maybe Curry.

The Grizzlies are a very underrated team. Had Zbo not been injured, they would've created noise last season...

Grizz shouldve been in the championship game two years ago. The refs gave that series to OKC. Love watching this team play.. they remind me of a 80s squad. Gritty, tough

Lol. Memphis beat Dallas 3 out of 4 times that year. Being such a huge Dallas fan for so long, thought you might remember that.

Miami has only beaten Memphis once since the LeBron/Bosh era started.

So it's no stretch that if Memphis has beaten the thunder, our front court could have caused your front Court problems, like they had all year already.

^What are the chances of Tony Allen coming back next season?

Easy schedule coming up

I'd say 50/50 at best.

[teamgrizz]

Its funny that he said no one was stopping Dirk. How exactly was Dirk going to stop ZBo or Marc? Chandler could have only guarded one of them.

As for TA, I'll give it a 50/50 chance. The Grizzlies have Ellington (who is playing well enough to get a new deal by the end of the year), Pondexter and Selby still in the oven. If Ellington can continue to be play the way he's currently playing along with Pondexter, I think its less likely TA returns. The defense has been stellar without TA in the lineup.

TAs minutes are down this year.

I do, however, keep forgetting he had knee surgery just a few months ago and barely played preseason. So that might be the reason.

I think if he does go, it would hurt the Grizz more than one would think. The whole defensive intensity had come about and still somewhat feeds off of him.

I think it'll come down to choose between TA or Speights. If Mo doesn't pick up his player option (unlikely) or can be extended for cheap (less than the MLE) Tony might be gone, otherwise i'd try to find a cheaper big man and retain Allen.

Bad news for the rest of the league...

Darrell Arthur is back and is gonna debut against the Lakers!

Finally we get to see the Grizz full big man rotation and a true 10 man rotation for the 1st time.
Exciting times my friends, exciting times!
