Grizzlies really need to get in the W column tonight. We are at home against a team that played last night, if we lose tonight than i am going to start getting a little worried even though its only game 3.

hmmmm --- looking very good so far!!!

SELBY --- SHOWTIME --- belongs!

ZBO ---- ON FIRE! Everyone is contributing. I did notice however Rudy Gay passed up a wide open OJ Mayo and instead took it himself into a double-team and turned it over. I do think there is an "alpha dog" issue btwn them. Rudy does not give it up to Mayo especially in crunch time. oh well. They still balling. quite a game!

Selby and Pargo are nice.

good win, but Rudy will have to found his game.

Rudy will be fine. As long as 2 of our core are "on" (Zach and Marc tonight) this team will be just fine.

Good game, but still...

0 for 5 from downtown.

C'mon Chris Wallace, give me some shooters.

That's the biggest thing that jumped out for me. They desperately need Gay and Mayo to find their range, although I think it will come. It makes it so much more difficult for Randolph and Gasol to work inside when defences know they can gamble more on collapsing and putting more bodies in the paint.

Great game and win. We finally played our inside-out game for more than a quarter or two. Also, Pargo and Selby looked good, particularly against Lowry who loves to shred the Grizz every chance he gets.

It's not even an inside-out game. It's an inside-inside-some-more game.

not true - a lot of zach and marc's shots have been from outside the paint.
