Hunh? Jason Kidd last game:

16 points
8 rebounds
10 assists

I wouldn't call that "Kidd has not been doing well lately."

Grizzlies can win I believe. OJ and ZBO came through for me.

This is something special

oh and Thabeet just did a block on Kidd that is way more impressive than that one you linked to.

Shut your mouth. lol

For real though, ZBO played a monster game tonight on both ends. Mao exploted his mismatch against Beaubois and blew up in the game.

zbo working on both ends. oj and gay working well together. no selfish player out there, good work on D. little Mutombo showing something, good sign in the backup PG, Tinsley...

Im afraid Coach hollins is guilty. good job grizzteam.

A back scoring SG off the bench away from being a competitive (maybe getting an upset) in the first round.

Great win! When we play like we did last night, we can compete against anyone. Hopefully, going forward, we can continue to put forth that same effort and intensity on a consistent basis. If we keep winning some of the games we're not supposed to and then take care of business in games that we're suppose to win - we'll be at or near .500 before the new year.

Edit: I say .500 because we're currently 5-3 at home and (finally) have a home heavy schedule for December (7 home and 4 road remaining). No doubt, the road heavy opening to the season (currently, 8 home and 12 road) has effected our record - especially when we've (already) had two 5 game road trips and 3 back-to-backs on the road (with one back-to-back split road/home).

I actually thought that Rudy was being his usual selfish self. He always jacks up a ton of shots even when he's not shooting well and others have it going; that's what he did against Dallas. He tries way too hard to look like a star.

And I don't know what you mean by Rudy and OJ working well together because they still aren't showing any chemistry. There is an occasional lob from OJ to Rudy but that's it. Rudy doesn't set picks for OJ and he doesn't pass to OJ. It's really sad to see. OJ tries to make himself available for a pass and Rudy turns the other way. He'd rather get the ball taken away from him or force a shot up over 2 defenders than to pass the ball to OJ when he needs to.
