We should blow this team out. Nice game thread and fun fact btw.

Conley should have his way with Stuckey and Bynum. And, Gay should drop a good amount of points. If I had to guess ~25.

Grizz have to come out strong and build a lead in the first; this game has the potential to be a huge let down, or a good stepping stone to build some momentum going forward.

Grizz have to win paint - which should be very possible. Then they have to shoot well and up the tempo on the wings. Don't let Gordon get hot - I seen that too many times against us.

We should be able to control the paint against the Pistons. If we can't, there isn't much hope. We should be dominant on the boards and keep Rip and Gordon in check.

Henry is starting over OJ tonight... laughable.

Anyone should dominate the paint against the pistons..

Maxiell isn't a guy you can just throw under the bus though. He has always been a bruiser and Ben Wallace is past his prime but still shows up. CV got hot already so we aren't exactly owning the paint. We need Gasol to get nasty.



Grizzlies have to come in the 2nd half ready to run it out. Pistons must get tired. push it. With mayo on the bench I think they'll take over late. crazy night tonight with the TWolves owning the Spurs and the Nets holding steady against Boston.

Good win for the grizz. That was a beat down. I have confidence they can play .500 ball again. I like the strategy tonight. The bench got to really flex their muscles. We normally have too many cooks in the kitchen I think. I'm glad Gasol is taking a lesser role offensively but we need him all the time.


Now the Wolves and Thunder I hope to win tonight. Stinking Mavs came back on OKC. and stupid Spurs have come back. But I think Wolves will hold off. Texas can eat it. Texas is the reason that the president is dead.

Our bench has muscles? I'm sorry I missed this one!

That's such a dominating dunk. My nominee for dunk of the year.
