Finally, the Grizz will open the season with a win, which hasn't happened in the organization history.
Wiggins isn't starting?

Careful DC. We said the same thing about the Wizards when they came thru here back in 2004 when they only had 7 players on the roster. Have their roster got suspended for fighting half the Bulls roster at the time.
Also Wiggins isn't starting according to the Wolves page.

Wiggins may start but he missed the last couple of preseason games due to a sore tailbone, so no one really knows yet if he will start at this time. Also, Thad Young is our starting PF and Gorgui is our backup center.

LETS GO MEM PHIS!
IT is finally here! Never in the franchise history we have started with a win? Horrible fact to crash tonight.

Corrected the lineup.

Did you mean to say Zach LaVine instead of Shabazz Muhammad?

I forgot LaVine played at UCLA as well. As for the UCLA trivia, I was coming from the angle that both Adams and Muhammed previously played their college career at UCLA albeit at different times. Not playing together on the same squad.

OK, I was confused since you called Muhammad a PG, which he is not. And Muhammad and Adams both played at UCLA together, and were actually part of the same recruiting class (along with Kyle Anderson)

Zach Lavine, Shabazza Muhammad? who cares what school they went to - they're both Dleaguers now.
Grizz looking pretty good. I'm not surprised that the Wolves are coming out swinging. The teams ranked near the bottom of the league want to establish themselves and try to separate themselves from teh cellar dwellers. Grizz are weathering the storm and I'm elated so far at what the Grizz are bringing in response. They have a long road ahead to figure out rotations and how to maximize contributions from guys like Vinsanity, QPON, Leuer the woodshed. But time will tell the Grizz can emerge as a leader in the West.
Gasol for one is showing I am a fool to skip him on my fantasy draft last night.. He's looking to be a top player in the league this year so far.

Yep. Gasol is in BEAST MODE tonight. That's how you do it.

Game tied up by Anthony Bennett. 85 a piece. The Wolves are fighting tough. The Grizz need to create some distance and stop with the defensive lapses.

The Grizzlies need to get some defensive pressure on the Wolves and stifle their offense.

And Thaddeus Young playing like he's Chris Webber.

Looks like Mo Williams will get the flagrant foul from shoulder checking MC11

Vince Carter's shooting has been atrocious most of this preseason and as well tonight. I think he's done this year and you guys might regret signing him. But at least his contract will come off the books.
