With Paul and Griffin limping into game 6, we should be able to take advantage. But, our team rotations have been awful, and this has led to complete collapses in the fourth. Put the backups in in the second quarter when Paul is out. And then allow guys like Randolph and Tony Allen to build some momentum. This is why we look so stagnant late in the game. Hopefully, we don't choke away a lead again, as we almost blew it the other night as well.

Bottom line, if the offense runs through Marc and Z'Bo - we'll be able to go to another game at the FEF on Sunday.

We need attack the rim and get the ball inside.OJ need have big game.Go Hard on Defense.Defend the 3 with your life.Then Grizzles take game 6 if do this!

Agreed. I'm not sure why Allen is suddenly in the doghouse (Hollins has said on a couple of occasions that Allen is not being guarded on the offensive end because he can't hit an open shot, but let's be real, this has been the case all year) and I'm not sure why Gay is permitted to chuck multiple perimeter shots over smaller defenders in the fourth quarter when we've built a huge lead pounding it inside for three quarters. Worst of all, when asked about these issues in the press conference, all Hollins does is bristle and give a non-answer.

Yo, game is 8pm CST.

Watch party at the FedEx Forum.

Let's do this Memphis. i want a Game Seven!

If he is complaining about Allen not being able to hit a shot, does he think that Gay's 4-22 performance including an airball open three in the fourth was much better? What a joke. OJ Mayo is better off the ball as well. All of our players are being misused. Even Gay (who has been a bum all series) is forced on the perimeter when he should be working off of post ups over smaller players.

if the clippers flop harder they may pull this one out

Grizz faltering again. Have got to do a better job getting the offense on point.

Here comes the dreaded fourth quarter. Better fight for this game Grizz.


Good shot OJ! Needed that.

They need to go inside the post.

Good sequence going here. The Grizz fighting back from 8 to trail by 1pt. Keep fighting. Keep hustling Grizz.

Way to exploit NY. 2 plus 1 RG22.

Good steal by TA leads to a 3ball.

The slam by Zbo!

TA got away with a travel, but gets to the line.

Time to time this series.

This crazy ass series gets tied 3-3

90-88 Grizz win.

Tough win.

Grizzlies have to have make those free throws! That is what it could come down to in Game 7.

Anyone here ZBo at the end of the game?

"Phuck, gotta make free throws"

lol. Yeah you gotta make them. The Clips made 17-30 and won by one in game 4. The Grizz just went 17-27 from the line and win by 2pts. Sounds like a crazy coincidence or somebody doing us a favor.
