Why you guys keep on having sexy ass girls to your games??? Your lucky......

Any ways I wish both our teams good luck, this is going to be a tough game for both teams. I expect KD and Zach to put on a show.

Randolph needs to get his head in the game.

Haddadi!!!! Looking good early. So is OJ Mayo, but I don't want to jinx it.

96-90 Grizz leading.

Miss the majority of the game due to work again. At least the Grizz are winning.

The only luck I would wish for is that this thread had more posts. And we're winning here.

Never, EVER give up on this team. Why do I keep forgetting that? Huge win.

Hollins needs to roll with Mayo and Allen for the rest of this series. OJ completely shut Westbrook down.

Losing this game would have likely cost us the series. Thankfully these guys are all heart and gritted and grinded all the way back into the game, and then to a win.

Was so upset watching three quarters of sucky Grizzlies basketball and Randolph pouting. All that changed in the fourth.

The truth of the matter is that I feel the Grizzlies could have won game two if Maynor and co. did not shoot lights out and really put us in such a hole to climb out of.

With all that said, we have had two games in a row of really slow starts and there seems to be some lockerroom issues with Randolph. We just need to keep it together and play full games. Game 4 is a must have for us and it would put us in a really promising position in the series. If we go down there, the series is probably more of a toss up. I am very excited about this team though. What an impressive run it has been!

Great win, great comeback! It´s great seen Mayo shutting down Westbrook, he was essential to our win today

Mayo has stepped up his game for games 2 and 3. His jumper has been pivotal.

While he can be a huge bonehead at times, he has done a lot more good than bad in this series. Let's hope it stays that way.

Blazer fan here. Great win for you guys tonight. Extremely impressive. I love watching Zbo grow up and become a team player. I think he is finally getting "it" now. He is a lot of fun to watch. I'm thinking Grizzlies in 6.

Mad props to u guys. U are joy to watch. I believe u can beat the Thunder.(celtics and perk fan, but man that's a fun team to watch). :D

The 2011 playoff hit are the Memphis Grizzlies. ;)
Good assessment:

Unbelievable comeback win. The Forum was absolutely dead in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, and then came alive with Sam Young's dunk.

All heart grit and grind

A quick/solid start Monday night will be very important. Grizz don't want to get caught at the comeback well once too often.

I was working/traveling and was only able to catch the 2nd and 3rd quarters (the bad parts). I am so pissed, but at the same time so incredibly happy the team came back.
I feel robbed of getting to watch the come back from behind. Go Grizz!
