bad news, Speights is a very unlikely to play today, held out of morning shootarounds: http://blogs.commercialappeal.com/the_m ... night.html

Very disappointing news. Should be a good game though.

looks alright so far though I am fed up with NBA League Pass acting up. Such a poor product. Just stream the game - how simple can that be to do?

It would be good if the bench production could produce some better offense. Also the TOs' aren't helping our cause.

I was hoping we'd pull this out but was not optimistic given the Jazz frontline compared to ours. Until Zbo returns, we will probably get beat in the post/paint by any team with a half-decent frontline.

The Jazz's length down in the paint was really difficult for the Grizz to deal with, especially with no ZBo. And Mike's usually a pretty good finisher when he gets to the rim, but it was pretty obvious that since nobody had to worry about ZBo on the weak side, guys could swoop in and overplay for the block all night.

I have to hope this team keeps growing and finds new ways to be effective because we aren't the same team minus Zach (obviously).
