The most crucial games the Grizz havethis month includes tonight's game, the other NOLA game plus Portland.We have to be on point from here on in if we expect to fight for better position in the playoff race.

Force NOLA to beat them from the perimeter.
Win the battle of the boards.
Slow NOLA down offensively and take advantage on their mistakes.

Big game. Still trying to clinch the playoffs and still realistically gunning for the 6 seed. Go Grizz.

This lineup at the beginning of the second quarter is one of those random-ass f*cked up lineups Hollins kills me with.

I shouldn't be surprised, but Randolph is playing at an amazing level these past few weeks. Watched the game, and he was at his best. Even Emeka Okafor, who is as good defensively as they come, had no answers to stop Zach.

I'll use a comparison, for whatever it's worth. Here in Vancouver, our hockey team the Canucks, just clinched the presidents trophy for being the top team in regular season. Every game they go out and expect to win, and it doesn't matter who they play. The Grizzlies have that same air of confidence at the moment. Both teams are very business like in their approach and work effort.

Grizz stepped up and dominated this one (almost) wire-to-wire. If only the Spurs and Thunder would take care of business, too.

Well needed win by the Grizz. They took care of business on both ends of the floor and didn't let up whatsoever. This dominance must continue as we still fight for a spot in the playoffs.

Forgot to mention, but how about that Marc Gasol turn around 3 at the buzzer to end the first half - I didn't know that he had it in him

What Marc did wit that 3ball reminded me of what former Grizz Tony Massenberg did a few yrs back when he hit a buzzer beater.
