OJ's homecoming. I think we should pull this out at home, but it will be interesting to see what type of intensity Mayo brings.

Gasol and Zbo got it cranking right now.

We're unbeatable when we play down the middle: Conley top of the key, Gasol high post, Z-bo low post. There's so many actions you can run out of that kind of set: high screen/roll, hi-lo post game, flare screens, etc.

24-0 run to take the lead in the third. That's big time. Now we have to hang on.

Edit: We held them to 5 points in the third quarter. Five!

THAT'S Grizzlies' basketball.

Even better, Mayo and Dirk were held under 13pts each tonight in the Mavs loss. Great win for the Grizz.

Wow. Unbelievable game, historic for the Grizzlies in a lot of respects. Like everyone else I'm sure, I thought we were done by the end of the first / middle of the second.

watched the whole game and then the highlights again this morning.... what a crazy game!
BUT Friday is going to be a real blowout if we think the Miami are going to be held around 80 pts like these last few teams we played. The offense has to be ON all 4 quarters. We've had a bit of a lull going against DET, TOR, ORL, and these last 2.

this team is incredible though - resilient!

They're the champs. I'm sure our guys have their antennae up.

I think the key will be offense. We don't necessarily have to score 105+, but we have to take care of the ball and play through the bigs. Limit turnovers and long rebounds and make them play a half-court game for 48 minutes.

We also have to knock down some early shots to keep them honest on the perimeter. Pondexter and Daye should probably get an early call in this game if Allen and Prince can't/won't hit shots.
