Because the Wiz are terrible inside, I am assuming we put this one away. Marc Gasol should have his way with Blatche.

I have them winning this game as well. Gilbert Arenas is back for this matchup. But like you said though, the inside needs to be dominated to the fullest.

From what I read on hoopshype http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm it sounds like he will take tonight off so he can play on TNT against Lebrandon James Thursday night. He said he wants to play ALL wizard home games and a few select road games. (Memphis? doubtful)

I can understand that since he is attempting a comeback here. No point in playing all their remaining games due to elimination from the playoffs.

I think were better inside then you think. When Songailia plays then we're pretty good. I like Blatche, AJ, Songalia, and McGee. Also, Haywood will play tonight for the 1st time all year but will come off the bench for about 20min. Gil is a game time decision but its doubtful that he will play. From a basketball standpoint they want him to play in this game because its an easier matchup and it gives him more days to rest before the Miami game on Saturday. However, they feel that they owe the home fans to play him in those games so he will probably wait for the Cavs game tomorrow. With that being said, I hope we lose tonight. I dont really want Blake like everyone else does but the #1pick would be a good trade piece

Damn - giving more ping pong balls away - 7th pick here we come!

Eh, who cares? If we have learned anything, it is that the best odds do not always walk away with the first pick.

That's been the story of the Grizzlies.

At least we aren't purposely trying to tank- for the fan's sake.

I was kidding. Happy to see them win. Hope they win a few more before the season ends.

No room for laughter here......(besides the sad state of our franchise and now Memphis basketball in general)

:lol:

And I don't even mean that in a malicious way. It's just laughable how much bad luck we have had.
