Right on top of it bro. Good debut. The Mavs will want revenge for the loss they suffer here in the last match. It would be decent if the Grizz could end the regular season series with the Mavs on a tie despite the odds of that happening.

Exactly - was thinking the same thing - They lost in Memphis - they'll want payback.

Man the Mavs guy does a crazy job though:

You kidding me?

I just don't want to see Barea knock down open 3s on us again.

JT is an X Factor that needs to be contain early on. Otherwise, he gets hot quick for the Mavs, it's curtains for the Grizz.

Tonight's promo (All the fountain drinks, popcorn, hot dogs and nachos you can swill for $30 per person) has to be the WORST promotion ever.

Additionally, the over/under for tonight's attendance should be ~1500...

First time ever in beating the Mavs in bac2bac home game matchups. Who knew.

Rudy Gay played well i nthe game with 27pts and 10rebs and OJ Mayo hit key shots to help put the Mavs away in the fourth.

Can someone answer this for me since I haven't been able to follow the Gizzlies the last month or so? Since Conley has been playing better it seems that Mayo has been taking less shots and it appears the two of them sharing more has given both players better looks since teams can't key on one over the other, thus everyone has benefitted. Is this a true statement?

That hadn't always been the case downtown. If those two are going to play together, then they both have to be able to learn to play without dominating the ball. That hasn't been the case for the most part. Recently they have been better at it.

And SD, Iavaroni did say they would be a team of firsts this season. :lol:

If he did, I don't recall since I've tuned him out with the team's struggles and all.
