Although the Pacers are missing nearly half of their roster. can the Grizzlies find a way to take advantage of this opportunity to win the game or will they continue to struggle on defense to keep the likes of the Power Granger, TJ Ford and company out the lanes or breakin loose from beyond the arc?

Granger is the only person who remotely scares me. Rudy needs to actually play D tonight and slow him down. I believe Mayo will play alright and if we start Gasol and Milicic as PF and Center we should be able wo win the rebounding game bc Hibbert is soft and Foster can be out-muscled. The PGs are a wash and our bench is better.

98-90 Grizzlies.

Pacer Fan,

I have been really looking forward to this game , in particular to watch Rudy Gay vs Granger. I love the way Gay's game has come along and often compare his impact to the team, realtive to Grangers'.

I would like to know : What has Gay been like in the 4th quarter/game on the line?
Overall Opinon of H. Warrick , strengths/weakness? Keep him/let him go?
Board opinon on who's the prefered starting PG and why?

This should be a good game tonight. Mayo seems to better than expected. ( starting to think the quickest way back to a good team is simply trade with Kevin McHale) Man I bet Timberpuppies fans are heated right about now.

Marquis Daniels has been one of our most productive players this year so if he is healthy and playing, that is another to watch out for.

Should be fun tonight :)

Grizzlies beat Indiana 108-105 tonight. Hakim Warrick led the way with 21pts. OJ Mayo scored 18pts, 8rbs and 7 dimes in the win. the Grizz had to fight from 17 down early on to get the win over the Pacers.

Also, C Darko Milicic hurt his hand in the game is expected to miss time. Looks like Gasol 2.0 needs to step up.

Another comeback win for the Grizz, despite the ups-and-downs of this young team, it's still winning more games than either of P. Gasol's last two teams here.
