I'll be attending this one with a friend/business associate of mine who attended Marquette when DWade was there...so he's a TOTAL Heat jock-hugger. What a freakin' dork.

And Mario Chalmers just HAS to know what's coming his way in terms of deadly booing...

With potentially Haslem and Beasley out, the Grizz need to take advantage up front to get number 4 in a row. Although as a fantasy owner of D Wade two times over this season, if someone has to produce for the Heat - it might as well be him

One stat I've always felt was important is how many times a team gets to the free throw line. The Grizzlies outscored Miami by something like 14 points there. Get a team in foul trouble and it changes how aggressive they play. It also means your team is playing aggressively on offense and not settling for the low percentage outside shots.

This was a good game for Memphis and they must have more confidence now that they have been playing well the last few games. The one spot they still get beat is on rebounds. If they can shore up that area then things look bright.

They were either on the Grizz official boards or at the game

Great win by the Grizz which gives them their first 4 game win streak in a while. They played together with some solid consistancy on both ends of the floor. Especially in the third quarter when they outscored the Heat 35-20. It would be good to see the Grizz bring the same tenacity against the Hornets come Tuesday night.
