This is going to be a big test for Gasol. Kaman has been playing really well this season. Then there's Camby and Deandre Jordan behind him. If Gasol puts up the same kind of numbers in all areas that he's been able to do so far then my hat's off to him.

Gasol is not worse than kaman. I hope the grizzs win that one.

Go Grizzs Go!

"Gasol is not worse then Kaman", so you think Gasol is the best center in the West right now? I dunno. He's up there though. Camby and Deandre Jordan are worse than Steven Hunter right now. It's Al THornton who has scored over 20 points in last 2 games that we must worry about. I expect ZBO and Al to just trade buckets most the way.

Clipper got donkey punched last night so we have the ability to tag team them from their back-to-back. It should spell "V I C T O R Y". 124-116

It looked exactly the way it should be. Gasol playing his usual strong game in the middle. Randolph scoring inside while him and Gasol grab the bulk of the rebounds. Gay and Mayo putting up points. The bench finally contributing.

The biggest question is can they get the production they need from the pointguard position? I know it's hindsight but man imagine if they had traded down and drafted Tyreke Evans or Brandon Jennings?

This past summer I was watching a Grizzlies summer league game and I was impressed with Marcus Williams.

He was and is a floor general, much more so than Conley. He let other players flow around him and get others involved where they like to operate from.

I really like this team. So deep in the front court.

I think AI may be successful in NY. Just a bad fit on many levels in Memphis.

Gasol has been beasting, like his brother a pretty good passer for a bigman....his rebounding seems to have gotten better he was a pretty poor rebounder last season, without a strong rebounder next to him, now he has randolph next to him and grabbing boards

The game was a good one and a well needed win for the Grizz. The defense was as good as it gets. The team played together on offense and the for the first time this season, the bench played up to standards. Hope they can keep it up for the next game.
