another test for Iavaroni.

Can he pull his own butt out of the fire in which it's currently roasting?

No, the Hawks are too good of a team for the Grizzlies. It should be a scoring contest between Joe Johnson and OJ Mayo. We'll see Marvin Williams heads up against Rudy Gay, and a battle of Euro centers in Gasol versus Pachulia. Bibby has been hot lately and I think Lowry would be better matched up against him than Conley.

Memphis will have no answer to stopping Al Horford though.

Also Josh Smith returns. Why is Javaris not playing?

The Grizz will get served on a cold silver platter.

Anyone notice that every gimpy star/semi-star seems to peg the Grizz for their return game? What does that say about Ivy's team?

Not very worthy opponents for sure.

The Grizz fell apart in the second quarter, but held court in the second half - hey, at least it's a change of pace...

Not by much. They can't continue to fight from behind and expect to win the game. I heard about the collaspe in the second quarter. Too many defensive lapses plus Joe Johnson having his way with the Grizz tonight.

Return to Memphis Grizzlies
