It doesn't work against Tony Allen, that's for sure.

Not that we should be in this game or anything but how many lucky bounces have the Grizzlies gotten today? I can easily recall at least 3 that have lead directly to buckets.

It's hard to push the pace when (a) you're not getting stops or rebounds, and (b) you're playing Andre Miller. We're gonna have to out-execute them in the half court, at least until Wall comes back in the game.

And it grinds the offense to a halt.

This is the kind of game where we could use a player with great skills and physicality. A player who excels on the boards. Kwame Brown comes to mind.

I expected us to lose this, 100%. But I didn't think it was going to be a blowout on our home court.

Except for that short spurt, Beal has killed them tonight.

Another stupid shot.

Get behind the 3 line Beal

Wiz go on a 4-0 run and Joerger calls a quick timeout.

Grizzlies go on a 17-2 run and Wittman just sits there watching it happen.

Porter gave us solid minutes tonight. He's still too light (whenever he hit a screen, he was bounced off-stride for at least 2-3 steps), but he wasn't horrible defensively -- and he hit a 3 and took another good-looking one.

Zen Master at work

Going to be great analysis during the post game though.

Weren't you the one saying you were fine with how Beal has been playing this season?

That's the dumb crap I've been talking about. He took that early in the shotclock too

Playing a good team.

Wittman's offensive system isn't hard to figure out.

Memphis is just as good as Indiana defensively and we've seen how IND has dominated this team twice already.

Plus the size advantage of MEM is apparent. No Seraphin really hurts tonight. Nene as well obviously.

Webster's shooting probably makes it a little closer.

Good team. Memphis is winning this game. We are not losing it.

Didn't expect Prince to outplay Ariza tonight.
