Guess what guys, Zbo has been suspended. It is hard to believe...

Yeah, really ... What the ****. I didn't see anything in that game suspension worthy that's for sure.

On top of that, who knows what Conley will do with his hammy.

But...he punched adams in the face...

I'm kinda sad about this because it's been such a great series, if we (OKC) win now this is the story-line.

please look at the video before following the NBA conspiracy. He shoved Adams away as they bumped into each other on their way back down the court - the shove started closed fist but clearly he was shoving him but it did connect to the face. Not a punch IMO - a shove.

IF ZBO PUNCHED HIM HE WOULD BE OUT COLD!!!!!!

If this plays out with no ZBO for game 7 - I will not watch another game this season

oh, I haven't saw the video of that yet. I saw him shove Adams on the way up the court late in the game (I figure it happened around then).

Meh, closed fist and intentional shot to the head. Rather you call it a punch or not (and I really think it is by pretty much any actual definition) it was definitely something a guy should be suspended for. It wouldn't have bugged me a bit if he wasn't suspended, but calling it a conspiracy is out of touch with reality.

Any way you slice it though, it was a really stupid move by Randolph which is kinda crappy because he's matured so much from his younger days.

Well Game 7. All I ask is for the guys to come out with some fire, intensity, and energy. Play as if theres no tomorrow (because there literally could be). I hope we can get something out of Mike Conley, especially with ZBo out. And we need Marc to be as aggressive as possible.

On a side note: the suspension of Zach was really weak (and yes I know rules are rules). Maybe this could be a blessing in disguise. No one thinks we have even a remote chance of winning except for very optimistic Grizz fans. But, our team thrives on adversity, so hopefully we can overcome the odds at least one more time...

For maybe the last time this season...Go Grizz!

exactly, rising up to these situations are what the Grizz is all about.

Yea, losing Zbo for this game hurts. But when he comes back for Game 1, its just going to be that much more epic.

GRIZZ IN 7

Alright fellas - I"ve finally gotten over my period and ready for game time.

WE've done it without Big Spain before, without Rudy, without MC11.... without OJ. We can do it again. Just need a helluva a break out from BIG ED and KK the Greek. I believe Miller can play some point guard tonight and same with Tony. Everyone has to chip in. wait... did I say tony allen at the point? Cancel that.. bad idea. But back before Rondo I remember Tony running backup in Boston.. that was a long long time ago though

[vanjulio]

Tony Allen may miss tonight's game if he doesn't respond to doctor's treatment really fast.

http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2014/st ... ty-thunder

Tony Allen has an inflamed eye from a scratch he took from Caron Butler Thursday night. Maybe the NBA could look into suspending him? "eye for an eye"?

[SD2042]

This game is too crucial to be missing key players at this point. It's hard to be convincing myself to say he Grizzlies will win out tonight. It will take a big time miracle t pull this win out at OKC tonight. I wonder how will the starting lineup would change things with Jon Leuer starting as a stretch 4 and force OKC to bring the defense out of the paint? I know he hasn't played this series, but it seems like anytime his number gets called, He's been able to produce a bit. It's sounds like a idea out of left field but at this point, but desperate times, desperate measures.

[bobobolas10]

we just need to score more points than them....

[bobobolas10]

Every Grizz fan thinking we are done but in the back of our head we listen: "anyway, lets play the game".

A guy in the general board posted a stat of the series: With Randolph we are -8 and without Randolph we are like +7.5

Does not really mean anything but still, picture we see the Ocraphoma city thunders out there. We might have a chance...

[spearsy23]

Gasol looking great already

[vanjulio]

**** ullship sat Xbox suspended. Weird starting 5 . Miller and Allen no prince. Conley looks ok so far but no def
b

[vanjulio]

Holy dong 18-3 run!!

[Snoopie]

Geez what a difference when:

1) We hit our free throws; and

2) Gasol takes shots.

Still not confident but feeling better..

[Snoopie]

Gasol has miles of space to work in tonight.

Could be the difference.

[Snoopie]

This starting 2nd quarter lineup has me all sorts of nervous.

Breakeven on points scored would be a win in my opinion..
