The Lowdown


Warning to the Spurs. You're back in Bear Country now.




Get back to the business. The Grizzlies can't afford to get off to any slow starts like Game 5. Continue to play well as a team. Rebounding, hustling, making the right percentage shots. Force TP andManu to work for their shots. Feed off the home crowd of 18,000 @ FEF. Make this win count and send the Spurs back home for the season. A win for the Grizzlies will blow the rooftops off the city.

GO GRIZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






FEAR THE BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





THIS IS MEMPHIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still cannot get over the fact that if we threw the ball into the backcourt, this series would be over. I am REALLY hoping we can pull this off at home.

I am going to be miserable if we lose this series.

Welcome back to the Grindhouse

[jman3134]

Don't want to jinx it, but I love the way they are playing right now!

[big_ticket]

tony allen is terrific

[jman3134]

We need to put our foot on the gas. We cannot let them even hang within 10. We need to extend this lead early and then grind it out for the rest of the game.

Love the way Vasquez is playing so far. Don't make me eat my words lol....

[SD2042]

It's great they came out the game with great energy. Just don't burn rubber too fast and burn out by the fourth. Otherwise, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

[jman3134]

I mean I don't think we can burn out with Arthur not even in the game yet and Conley on the bench the entire first quarter with foul trouble. He should be energized when he gets back in.

What I am worried about is that we cannot get the ball into Randolph for some reason. They are playing him very well.

[SD2042]

Right now SA is makng a run out out of it. Grizz may need to regroup on defense.

[jman3134]

I heart Tony Allen.

[mid-post]

Theme of the first half: Hollins messing with the damn rotations a little bit more than I like.
The offensive rhythm completely went after he abandoned that Vazquez, Gasol, Young, Allen, Randolph lineup.

[SD2042]

The Grizz slacked up in the second quarter. MC11 with the 3 quick fouls. ZBo imo played too many minutes in the first half. Right now, we're okay, but we need to play to our advantage. If we allow the Spurs to hang around any longer, we're in trouble. I expect the Grizz to play better in the second half.

[SD2042]

Careful TA.

[SD2042]

ZBo for the put back.

[mid-post]

Hopefully this timeout at the end of the third gets something cooking for the home team. Look for an effective substitution pattern from Lion-O this time.

[SD2042]

Hell of a shot by Gino.

[mid-post]

Greivis is going to need to step up.

[jman3134]

I'm ok with what Hollins has done with Randolph. When Duncan is in the game, we need him in instead of Arthur I think. Right now, he's getting in transition, which is a good sign.

Love the work that Tony Allen is doing on all ends. We need Mike Conley to show up. Maybe Mayo can come in and hit a three for once. Please.
