Looks like the Grizz have a 90-86 lead on the Nugz in the late fourth quarter so far. Unfortunately they are losing the lead and are getting outscored 21-10 in the fourth. They need to get back on defense and stop the Nugz offenseive flow.

Wow, what a great win, did not notice the game was so early. wish i could have seen it. looks like they could make the effort to stop de denver comeback. they were outscored in the 4th but still got the win.

Just 15 points from the bench. I think if any starter gets injured (maybe not conley), we may get involved in a big lose streak.

We are getting closer to that 50% of winnings. maybe we can make it before 2010

Zbo was in beast mode today. 32 and 24 - the Grizz PA announced that 24 rebounds is the most in any game so far this year.

I'm just glad the Grizz managed to hang on in the last quarter with the Nugz fighting back and all. ZBo was on superhuman status today. Played like something fierce.

Zbo is playing in a allstar level this year. i wonder why teams doesnt treat him like Duncan or the other players of that caliber. anyway, the thing about having 3 good scorers is that he can pass the ball altough all the league have said he cant. looks like he just want to win.

About OJ Mayo... He is playing good but i thought he was going to improve more, to the next level. i guess it would be taking more time than i expected...

I also liked that when Zbo and Nene got tangled up, Thabeet came running into it, ready to alter some faces.

I've wanted Z'Bo with the Grizz ever since his rookie season. I had a sense that the Memphis/small market environment + a little maturing was all he needed off the court. When he showed up in Memphis in the best shape of his career I was pretty certain we were in for his A game. But OMG, he's far exceeded anything I could have hoped for. IMO the biggest thing he's added is on and off the court leadership. Now who would've thunk that? LOL

I'm so glad Z-Bo's doing well. As a Clippers fan, I didn't really wanna see him go, but after winning the lottery, it was more of a necessity. Zach gets a bad rap, on and off the court. So many Clips fans were skeptical when we first got him, as I'm sure Grizzlies fans were too. But I can say the black hole rap is far from the truth. The guy brings it every night. You will never see a more effortless 20/10.

Just imagine if he was a 7-footer. He would be one of the hottest commodities in the league.

Not just because I an a Grizz Fan, but I have to admit that ZBO produced the best game of the year for any NBA Player so far. And to think this guy was labeled a Cancer.

You sure don't hear anything about Darell Arthur and when he's due to return do you? With the way Randolph is playing there's no urgency whatsoever in any articles about trying to get him back.

From last week

Darrell Arthur rejoins Grizzlies for good

Reserve forward Darrell Arthur has rejoined the Grizzlies -- at least as their biggest cheerleader.

Arthur, out up to fourth months after pectoral surgery, has been spotted on the team's bench at recent home games. He made his first road trip Sunday, and will stay with the team until he's ready to resume playing.

Arthur said he feels good about being around his teammates even though his return to the court is slated for late February or early March.

"It looks like we're getting settled," Arthur said of the Grizzlies. "We're moving forward in the right direction."

Team doctors told Arthur to take six weeks off and limit his travel following surgery during training camp.

Now, the second-year player is working on conditioning, he's stretching and dealing with light weights.

Arthur said he is hopeful he can return sooner than expected because his recovery is ahead of schedule so far. Arthur's range of motion has improved at a faster rate than doctors expected.

Despite never taking this much time off from basketball for any reason, Arthur remains upbeat.

"It's given me a chance to evaluate some things," Arthur said. "I've watched how Zach (Randolph) does things. And when I do get ready to play, I'll have a better idea about the guys I'll be guarding."

Staying positive is "all I can do," Arthur said.
