Cavs vs Grizzlies 

Post#1 » by Okada » Sun Mar 2, 2014 1:23 am

It took us OT at home to beat the Grizzlies without Mike Conley, and with Miles, AV, and Waiters playing. I'm not liking the odds, but this would be a huge win (well almost every game for the season will be a huge win, but still).

We're probably going to lose lol.

For all the people who took issue with the Hawes trade, you've gotta admit, he's looked damn good since he arrived here.

Surprised that the Memphis fans were already booing their team.

It's unbelievable how different this team looks over the last 12 games compared to in the start of the season. The number of moronic contested mid-rangers seems like it's been cut in half.

That could be a huge momentum shot for Gasol. Lets hope we come right back out to start the 2nd quarter with the same energy and dont let them fight and claw back into it.

I'm a little shocked at how effective the offense has been so far, on the road against an elite defensive team. We're making them look slow as hell. I never could have imagined this offense shooting 67% against the fully-loaded Grizzlies in Memphis through 14 minutes. 10 assists on 16 made shots too, great movement.

52 points on 66% shooting in 18 minutes on the road against one of the best defensive teams in the league at full health. Seriously cannot believe this.

Hawes has really helped this offense flow. The guy really keeps the ball moving and consistently makes smart passes from all over the court.

15 assists on 26 shots, 61.4% shooting. Outstanding half. And even though they gave up a decent amount of points, I am also impressed with the defense. So many of Memphis' makes have been heavily contested. Very impressed with this performance. One of the few times this year I feel like I'm watching a legitimate playoff team.
