darn that really botches my trivia lesson now... thanks tho- I always wonder if anyone would even catch if I just made this stuff up !

We're at the brinking point now. We have put ourselves in this posiion by playing careless bball in this series. If we don't gain the fortitude to play with some ass-kicking pride, then we deserve to be beaten by the Clips and rightfully humiliated in our city and on television.

youll probably win this game but it's over in game six. you had your chances already

I wouldnt get too high or too low right now or after tonight.

Really the problem we're in is only because of the blown game1. If that had not occurred the series would still be 2-2 and we'd still be looking at winning the best 2 out of 3 at home.

The silver lining is that we came as close to winning in LA just now as you possibly can. 1 point loss. Then an OT loss. I'm not saying the odds are in our favor but what are the odds that the Clippers can hold off the Grizzlies 3 consecutive games at home? Certainly Not 100%.

1hr to game time - roll call - let's go grizz nation - believe!

I want you guys to pull this out. All season I thought Memphis and Denver were two of the most mentally tough teams around. I am really surprised with how LAC has managed to get up 3-1. I thought they would have folded by I suppose that come back did some massive mental damage for you and boosting for LAC. Still I just can't see the Grizzlies losing to LAC in 5 games. Whenever I saw your team in the season, it was like they were on a mission.

Up 11! Loving it so far!

46-28 Grizz leading so far. Hopefully they can keep this up.

Nice one by Marc.

Finally the Grizz bigs are involved in the offense. We called way too many plays for Rudy Gay in prior games. I say we bench him if he keeps playing one on one basketball. He really looks out of sorts with our team dynamic.

Ga-ZBO -- Ursa Major + Ursa Minor. Gettin' it done.

"Zach started smiling again" --- after coming back from the game7 loss to OKC and landing in Memphis to a parking lot full of fans cheering like crazy.

The passing game for the Clips has been non-existant so far. As long as the Grizz continue to render that part of the Clips game ineffective, the Clips will have trouble generating some offensive flow.

In the second half, I expect the Grizz to continue to put pressure on the Clips defensively and keep the offense going strong by going back to the options that got you there in the first place. Attacking the post at will and never relent.

lol Gasol got Blake to travel.

Clips really fouling early already.

MC11 with 4 fouls. Not good at all. Getting caught on those picks didn't help.

CP3 and CB4 with the techs.

These elbows are flyin. Might mess around and get a fight out of this.

Mo Will and Del Negro get techs.

We are getting some home calls on some of these techs but Mayo isn't converting. Hey, at least he isn't having a negative impact like Rudy Gay, who can't seem to understand his role.
