Gasol's participation will be a game time decision.

Grizzlies have the same problems that has been plaguing us, which is consistency.

This should go either way since both teams are wild.

Looks like the same team stats wise anyways. Drummond and Illy will have to play good defense against this front court and Reggie needs to help them by not letting conley penetrate forcing them into helpside too much.

I think we win this game. We play better at home. But you never know with either teams. It'll be interesting. Last game I thought we'd have a bigger fight in us but that was nowhere to be found. Defense, refs? Sloppy basketball. I don't think this game will be the same. We're going for our 13th win tonight. We need to earn it in the rebounding battle which should be easy.

Doubt it. That was SVG's rhetoric in signing Baynes. You'll see Baynes and Drummond play in only one condition: Two big men that are crashing the boards.

Tonight you'll see Ilyasova guarding Randolph and vice versa. If he's having trouble, that's when Baynes plays next to Drummond.

As with any other game I wouldn't be shocked if we lost... but I'm fairly optimistic that this is indeed a winnable game for us on our home court. As has been mentioned numerous times it really just comes down to which 2 teams decide to show up.

Zbo is one of the last players to play the game the right way. This league is slowly becoming softer and softer. It's the new Soccer. As good as Warriors are, I don't respect their game all that much. Run and Gun! Bunch of elementary kids playing basketball. The league is soft!! and it's all because of the hand check calls, weak reffing. They've babied the game. It's childish now.

Dre doesn't show up on jump shots. He's still a little kid. We need veterans on this team badly. We need someone that'll take leadership. Dre is a little kid!! If he doesn't step up in a year or two, SVG needs to make changes. He'll be the new Howard and Howard is a *****!

Gasol getting the best of Andre early... got the first 6 points of the game for the Grizz.
