Grizzlies Starters



Mavericks Starters



Several noticable things about this matchup.

1. Do the Grizzlies believe the PHX 4 matchup will work against the Mavs?

2. How will Ross force Howard into a bad shooting night from the field when Howard towers over him by 3 inches?

3. Will the Mavs post Howard over Mayo like the last match? Mayo struggled in that game. So if this defensive matchup happen again. how will Mayo adjust to it?

[jman3134]

1. I guess they do.....but I'm not sure.

2. How has Ross been a defensive specialist his entire career? He's quick to the ball and plays aggressively.

3. He won't...we will need to play better team defense to win. Or Howard could have an off night.

From the Grizz standpoint. It's annoying that the Grizz can't find ways to get a win against them.
