Team Trivia: Hasheem Thabeet. Tony Allen, Kendrick Perkins, and Courtney Lee all played for Coach Doc Rivers in Boston.


Grizzlies Starting 5



Thunder Starting 5



Bench Heroes

On Thabeet, I can't recall him playing for Doc Rivers at all during his short career.

As for Durant, he's playing on an injured wrist. It would be an opportune time for either Prince and Lee to pressure Durant into a tough night on the offensive end. He's been on a great tear lately as he's averaging 37pts in the past few games. Another player I would be concern about is Reggie Jackson. If he's gets off to a strong start, the Grizz will have a hard time stopping him.

I'm expecting the Grizz to crank up the defense and limit the Thunder to the perimeter and make their shots that way.

I think Thabeet may have gone shopping with Austin once, but he's never played for Doc.

That's what I figured.

And welcome back Marc Gasol!

Kendrick Perkins collected all his fouls in the third quarter. Talk about crazy.

Zbo burned Ibaka on that hit.

Grizzlies fighin hard for this game.

Ibaka misses! Zbo gets the board and gets foul.

Lee at the line.

2-2 at the line.

Puts the Grizz ahead and win 3 in a row.

Nice win!

Nice game guys, good to see Marc Gasol back! Bummed you beat my team, but good game.

Hey guys, is Marc likely to play again tomorrow in a back to back against the Bucks? You won't need him anyway to beat us but i'm hoping he is able to go again tomorrow... Thanks.

Sorry I meant those as two separate statements. I can see that it's confusing. I just was writing " HASHEEM THABEET ... PERIOD. No comment..." Then separate trivia is the 3 guys for Celtics.... Sorry I get kinda lazy with the trivia sometimes on here! busy and just glad the Grizz are back on track here. Amazing effort and win. The Thrill is Back

Allgood Vanjulioj - greatly appreciate the game threads. Snarkiness was towards Hasheem the Dream (nightmare) and not you at all

Ok. I get it now. Meaning that Thabeet did nothing more than being pick by Grizz. For a minute, I was scratching my head on that one. Other than that, you're good here. And thx for helping me on the GTs.

bigtime W for the grizz , B2B's suck but you can't ask for a better team than the bucks! 4 in a row ?
