Play like they got some damn sense!

Can the Grizz do the impossible and knock off the top two teams in the NBA back-to-back? I'm pretty sure that I know the answer, but I hope that I'm wrong!

Rudy has to play focused again.

Cavs don't match up well against ZBO and Gasol. I hope they take their frustrations of last 3 games and get after this one

let lebron score 44 but lets win this game.

If we could really beat the two best teams in the NBA in two days then this would be something BIG. We just have to hit that stability if we want to make the push to PO

CLE is missing it's top 2 guards so Mayo/Conley will have an advantage.

You guys match-up well with us, Rudy/Lebron, Zach/Varejao, Gasol/Shaq - I think it will be a close game.

That's all I'm wanting, a good game. The Grizz have (overall) struggled in back to backs this season.

I'll be in class (late classes FTL) so gooooo Grizz.

Good game Grizz fans. Best of luck the rest of the season on your playoff run.

Yup... best of luck rest of the way...

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Being in Vancouver I don't get to see as many games as you from Memphis obviously. So after the big win against the Lakers I was thrilled to get to watch the Cavs game on TV (we get a ton of Cavs games up here).

So you can imagine how dissapointed I was that the game was a blowout from start to finish. I didn't expect a win but I at least was hoping for a good game. I was embarrassed for the Grizzlies. The Cavs toyed with them.

I know they were tired and you could see it from their body language, and that play where Rudy Gay pushed Varejao into the shooter because he had no energy to fight through the screen was an example. Gay's body language after that told the story.

The biggest thing that came to mind after this game was that this group needs to have a collective energy in order to win and that no one or two players can pick up the slack to carry them when a couple other starters just aren't feeling it. They all have to be firing on all cylinders to have a chance to win.

^That's actually not true. Many nights 2 of the 5 starters have bad games and they still win. The other night they just ran into a frontline as tall and strong as them, and with Zach having trouble scoring. Plus, the Guards did not play well.
