How much would it cost to have Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive - 55" played when LeBron is announced?

Memphis can try to limit the damages, but I don't see them beating the Cavs. Pau has been playing well lately and if Rudy can be more effective than in the last 2, they could make it a game.

I'd like Lebron to get 50/15/10 for my fantasy team since he only plays twice this week...but also a Memphis win! :lol:

LBJ will get his w/o question. With Conley vs. Hughes matchup. Conley will be at Hughes mercy defensively since he gives up height to Hughes. Pavlovic and Miller will cancel each other out since neither plays good defense, but solid offense.

I wouldn't worry about the Hughes-Conley matchup. Hughes would have trouble shooting 50% from the field if he was being guarded by an inanimate object.

I've heard of some of Hughes offensive struggles, but has he become that bad of a shooter?

Ah God! Why did you bring him up? :nonono:

I hated the fact that Jerry West picked him to be the Grizzlies solution at SF of all positions. West that year passed on Caron Butler just to draft Gooden. :nonono:

So what did Gooden do now? Become erratic? Thinks he's a great jump shooter? Whatever it is. The Cavs are stuck with him until they trade him off.

AGGGGGGG - My therapist just had me past 2002 - NOOOOOOOO passed up Caron Butler (I'll give him a pass on Amare) and took Archibald over Boozer - IT HURRRRRRRRTSSSSS USSSSSSSSS

Quick question: Is there a reason why Conley's minutes are down? I think he's going to be a special player in the league one day, and he pretty much solidifies the PG position for the Grizzlies. Is it because he's been making rookie mistakes and isn't ready for 30+ minutes a night, or is it because Lowry has been steadily earning more minutes with his play? I'm surprised he's been knocking down threes; I thought outside shooting was one of his weaknesses coming into the league.

I think Iavaroni's been trying to find the right balance with the two ever since Conley came back from being injured. Up to that point, Kyle's play had tanked. However, he's been playing much better as of late and has earned more minutes. I think eventually you'll see Conley settle into the lion's share of the minutes at the point.

Not the start you look for.

95-94 Cavs with 8 minutes left...another one going down to the wire.

Tied at 110. 37 seconds left. Let's PRAY.

I don't know, I missed the first half. You might wanna check back again later for some news on his situation.

128-121 Cavs...looks like this one is over.

Darko has entered coach's doghouse, the pressure is on to win some games and the memphis grizzlies are not doing it so coach I has given up on development, it seems.

Well not Conley's development. I'm glad he's getting a chance to prove what he can do.
