Key Bench Players

Al Horford is a triple double waiting to happen.

Evans could be back for this one but I like to see Mario West get some game time.

I wonder if the Hawks may rest their starters for the playoffs on Wednesday night. It would be decent if the Grizz could get win #24 just to end the season with a win for a change. If not, then I expect the Hawks to burn the Grizz on both ends of the floor.

Last game of the year and hopefully we can go out with a bang.

Guess the triple double will have to wait til the playoffs. Will they even start the normal starters? I watched the Hawks Heat game last night and it was barely a DLeague level competition. The final minute was the worst. Miami had 10 shots in a row they missed that could have tied the game. Tonight will be an utterly meaningless game for the Hawks. If they benched all their starters except for Marvin for 95% of the game at HOME then tonight they might not even show up for the startling lineups.

This is it. The Grizzlies end this rough season with a 98-90 win over the Atlanta Hawks.

Mayo led the Grizzlies with 26 points, putting him at 1,516 for the season, setting the new Grizzlies record for rookie scoring. Gay had 20 points to close out his second straight year leading the Grizzlies in scoring average. Hakim Warrick capped off his year of stellar sixth man play with 15 points, as Mike Conley filled the statline with 12 points, seven assists, five rebounds and three steals. The Hawks were led by Flip Murray, who had a game-high 29 points and Maurice Evans, who finished with 20 points.

The Grizzlies have finish this season with a 24-58 record and for the first time in two yrs, a winning month record of 5-4. The offseason begins now and the Grizzlies definately have more work to do in getting this team better for the sake of the city and the fans. Good luck in the offseason.

it will be hard to give OJ the ROY with Rose in the playoffs and likely doing some theatrics with KG watching from home. But he did some amazing things right til the end.

should be an exciting offseason. let's put the pieces together. It's like 2002 all over again - on the rise.

The countdown to May 15th has officially begun
