Steve is having some CPU issues at the moment so we'll have to fill in for him

BOBCATS Vs GRIZZLES

Starting Line Ups:

Image Vs Image

Image Vs Image

Slam's Key To Winning:
Our bigs. Feed them the ball inside and EO50 and Boris should have a field day against the Memphis bigs.

Slam's Key Match Up:
Bell Vs Mayo. Old defensive vet going up against young offensive up start.

Slam's Danger Guy:
Hakim Warrick. Been playing pretty well of late.


And for those of you I know wont be happy this isn't a traditional SM15 creation:

I'm missing the reference to Okafor's counterpart. Don't really mind though.

I'd never heard of her, but Google "Lena Gasol" and reap the rewards!!

It was all I could come up with!!

Lena Gasol could be softier in the paint than Emeka Okafor.

I got Mayo and Rudy the Hobbit, missing the connection in others. Well, different pop-culture background.

Ditto. Glad you took the high road Slam.

The South Park kid is Kyle (Kyle Lowry) and the less than stellar Dudley Moore starred in Arthur (Darryl Arthur).

Well done. I like the change up.

Sorry doc. The guys have pretty much covered them all. Not sure if you knew these ones:

Bad first possession, but awesome hustle by Diaw to save the ball.

Okafor seemed to be expecting contact on that hook.

Right back to Okafor who goes right back to Gasol. Nice to see an early effort to get Mek the rock and he's definitely trying to use his strength to get a closer look.

He's like a trillion times more offensively capable than I gave him credit for.

also, fwiw, League pass is on a free preview, so tune in guys!

2 fouls on Gasol is good (the 2nd one rocked Crash and he didn't get up flashing a blade - which is a good sign!!)
