This one is going to be a tough one but, since Grizz already beat the Spurs i don't see any reason why we shouldn't kick the Magic out of memphis + Vince is making this Magic team 1000000 times worser as well. Go get them Grizzlies!

[durden_tyler]

Good luck SD, your favorite teams meet. Good to be back in the Memphis boards and i won't be long.

Go Mem.. err Magic!

(And oh by the way, congrats on a great season i doubted Zach and every piece of this Grizz team except the one named Marc and its working out nicely for the franchise. i do hope you make the playoffs just to shut up even more doubters like me)

Gonna be another tough game

Hopefully playing at home will give us a little edge and we can extend that home winning streak.

Go GRIZZ!!!

[SD2042]

This game will be a tough one for sure. The Magic have struggled to win games during the month of January. Inspite of their struggles, the Grizz cannot underestimate them at all. If they wish to defeat the Magic, they have to render the Magic ineffective from the perimeter. Pressure their shooters to jack up long range shots and keep the post guarded from slashers. The Grizz are the better rebounding team so attacking the glass is a key to win the game.

Key matchups to have eyes on.

The Beast vs. D-12

Whoever has the better game on both ends of the floor may dictate who wins the game.

Mayo vs. Vinsanity

VC has struggled with his offense this month. Mayo needs to be in bulldog mode against VC and render him ineffective on offense to frustrate him into a bad shooting night.

One problem I'm concern with is our bench against the Magic bench. They have more power than the Grizz do. So unless the Grizz bench can do their best to pack a punch. This game can go either way.

Either way. GL and may the best team win.

[Downtown]

Is there a team that doesn't have a better bench than Memphis?

Are there stats on all the teams bench scoring to really find out?

[bobobolas1]

yep, guess we have one of the worst bench of the league....but since we are above .500, Could we say we have one of the best starting lineups?

[SpiritGuardiaN]

great win..

[jefe]

Great win, eleven (11) in a row at home ... that's unbelievable. Gasol played superb D on Howard for most of the night, yet Howard still ends up with 27 & 15 - go figure.

[DangerCurtis]

Holy Shiza, congratulations guys. You currently hold a playoff spot. That's very commendable for your Grizzlie team right now.

[SD2042]

That was a tough game from start to finish. First the Grizz were down 16pts early on. Then they rally to get down within two pts at the end of the first half. That shot by ZBo was miraculous to say the least. Then the second half was still the same. Back and forth with the lead changes. Both sides turning the ball over numerous of times. Tough defense at times made hard earn shots. At the end, the Grizz managed to fight their way thru win #11 @ home. Tough win for the Grizz.

[bobobolas1]

this is the way, this is the way....

[KillaMayo]

Yes we got it. Tho' Howard was really killing our guys in the paint. Conley had a very good night

[vanjulio]

The only games I got to watch so far in person were preseason. The last one was total blowout by Orlando Magic bench against our starters Monday October 12th, 2009. Gortat was dunking all over the place. J Vinsanity was on IR. The starters played like 10 minutes for Orlando but Bass, Pietrus, Barnes, Gortat, and JWILL totally handled us.

MY HOW LONG WE HAVE COME!!!!!!!!
