Key Matchup:
Imagev.Image
Pau Gasol is a terrific low post scorer with great moves, let's see how kenyon does against him.

Last Meeting: Apr 14, 2007, L 118-133
Atkins poured in 11 pts in the final period and had 12 Assists that night to seal the win for the Grizzlies.

Denver: 26-18
Carmelo Anthony is probable with a left ankle sprain.
Nene had a benign testicular tumor removed on January 14th. Should return 8-10 weeks from that date.
Chucky Atkins is out 2 months with a sports hernia.

Keys to winning:

Play some D! and trade for Jason Kidd.

Last 5 Games:
L New Orleans
L Dallas
W New Jersey
W Atlanta
L Lakers

Memphis: 13-32
Mike Conley probable with a chest contusion.
There's a team which is in a deeper crisis than we are.

Last 5 Games:
W Chicago
L Orlando
L Washington
W Clippers
L Dallas

We should win this game, hopefully. I say this every time we go on a little losing streak, but we need to get on track we have some tough divisional games coming up. Stromile Swift is also suspended for tonight

yeah, i'd be pretty dissapointed if we lose tonight. our next games are against two division rivals. if we can beat both of them we are 4th again... shouldn't be impossible

Can you do the "If the playoffs started today" thing every game. I'd like to know where we stand after every game instead of waiting 5 minutes for nba.com standings to load.

to make my prediction for the season come true we have to make a 28-10 run. so we have to win always 3 out of 4 games. are we able to do that?

Miller will go over 25 today. Our perimeter D is bad, plus with AI gambling so much while playing on Mike will leave Miller hitting open 3's. If we score 110 today, we'll win.

Carmelo is really a *****. Seriously. Its a damn sprained ankle, not a high ankle sprain, not a severe sprain, but a sprained ankle that had mri come back negative. He missed a damn week over this. He's really a *****. He's still my favorite player, but this is unbelievable.

as long as Kenyon and Camby step up, AI's hitting shots and there's an air of urgnecy about the defense, i think we'll be ok.
