WOULD LOVE TO SEE A HIBBERT THABEET REMATCH!

Could this be Hasheem's break out game!??!? Hibbert has transformed himself since Georgetown days. Wow he looks good this year. Candidate for Most Improved.

We have to get after these guys. Anyone and everyone has been blowing by TJ Ford so I hope to see Conley continue to elevate his game like we been seeing.

The only Grizzlies WIN I've attended in the last 3 years was the win at home against the Pacers last Christmas. I've had bad luck but also we been losing a LOT. (conversely, every Celtics game I been to up here has been a win... same with Patriots games as well. I'm usually good luck. go figure). let's get another win streak going tonight!!!! :P

Pound the Pacers inside and slow them down on defense.

oh and watch out for PSYCHO T!

another fascinating storyline: Tinsley plays his former team at home where he is king and can slap them around for ruining his reputation. can't wait

Yep, Good mention bout conley. Its true he has been doing good lately. that drives to the basket has been quicker in the last games. he is becoming a reliable and solid scorer. Now its all about D...hope he improves as well.

Grizzlies get outscored 40-7 in bench points yet win by double digits. I know they're playing well as of late, and they don't really have what I would describe as a strong bench, but I have to wonder if at some point the starting five are going get burned out and fatigued playing such huge minutes.

Props to all the starters though as each of them contributed significantly in what they do best. Randolph with monster stats, Mayo with fantastic overall stats, Conley with both scoring and assists, Gasol with five assists to go along with good scoring and great rebounding, and Gay, despite suffering that ankle injury last game still contributes plenty of points.

What more can you say other than once again they put in a strong second half compared to the opposite early on in the season.

The Grizz ran wild on the Pacers tonight. They were firing from all cylinders. And made sure the Pacers didn't get many opportunities to fight back. A well needed win after the other night @ ATL.

I thought the starters minus Rudy played great. The bench really pisses me off though.

When did Conley learn to shoot 3s like that!?! 5 for 6? I don't think I've seen him ever hit more than 2 in a game - much less 5 in 6 attempts. As others have said, our bench has got to step up at some point this season. It seems the only real scoring threat we have off the bench is Young - and he's inconsistant (like virtually every rookie in the league).

hmm...the more I look at the ones you got It_Was_Typed, the more I like them. They look great on Mayo with the road uni.

Unfortunately, Nike hasn't really those Hyperdunks (yet).

I wish they would thought because I've liked them ever since I saw them last year. However, I believe Nike will be releasing these soon:

I'll keep you updated if they do.
