Let's go.

I suspect a big game from Rudy, Juice and Gasol.

Every game they win is a must win.

Clearly a must win, if we want to be taken seriously

Class move by the Grizz. If you were at the Clippers game, you can bring your ticket to the FEF box office and get a ticket for Friday's game at no charge.

So even if you went Tuesday and already had tickets for Friday, you could still get a ticket for a friend. Hopefully that plus the break in the weather should make for a great crowd at the game.

Good PR move to get more fans to come to the games wit hthe Grizz going in the right direction. As for the game, Just execute well on both ends and take care of business.

You can't look past any team in the NBA; Grizz should win, but they'll have to earn it. Hopefully, with a couple days off, everyone's injuries are feeling a little bit better.

as Grizzlies go 20 up in 3rd quarter, "this isn't even organized basketball anymore... all grizzlies are hitting from all over the floor" - minnesota announcers.


dude I don't think one game on NBA LP has had the memphis announcers this season. I really miss Pete and Sean. I'm actually getting sick of it. Give me memphis feed please!

This is awesome. Yes we have no bench but we got some ballers in the starting 5.

I just hope they pull out in the 4th and save some for tomorrow night! PLAY HADDADI :P

Great win! Every single Grizz player played well - well, Hunter had a rough few minutes, but I can't really complain about that. Also, we were able to keep the starters on the bench for entire fourth. Hopefully, that rest, coupled with Spurs traveling from Charlotte over night, will lead to the first win on the tail end of a back-to-back tomorrow night.

Defense could have played better but the offense was on Fire all night. Good win, now lets get the other game of this back to back tommorow.

Another good aspect of the game was that the East teams did a number on Western Conference teams last night and the teams that are around Memphis in the standings all lost.
