Be nice to get back to our losing ways, I can't take a 2 game winning streak.

The Grizz are a beatable team in a sense, they usually won't run you off the floor, and in close game weird things can happen

Our issues have been with 3 point shooting and slashing guards. Memphis do neither so yeah its going to be a toss up but this being a road game, I'd fancy them to rough us up on the inside.

The Griz are a perfect match up for us, they're not a uptempo team and don't shoot the 3 at a high rate of attempts. So that means this game comes down to which team can function in the paint the best. I've never seen Booz play against Z-Bo so I don't know how that works. But Lin can play Conley to a even tilt. Wes and Tayshaun are about the same level now....Prince can't shoot it for sh*t now just like Wes. The Griz most glaring advantage is Marc on Hill.

He weights more than Hill and can punish him in the middle, but lucky for us they don't use Marc at a high usage rate.

We actually have a chance at this game. We can't get wrecked by 3s so much.

Wes won't draw Prince. He'll draw The Grindfather in this matchup.

The grizz are coming off a loss so they will be very focused. I'd say it's winnable if they were in a win streak, but coming off a loss they will be looking to avoid another upset.

We'll have a chance if we get out and run; if we get stuck playing half court basketball we're screwed. Game will be close, but the Grizz front court will be too overwhelming when it's all said and done.

Good 1st win last night. This game will be tougher. We have to contain Marc & Z-Bo & then we'll have a good chance.

This will be a really low scoring game. We already struggle with our efficiency and the grizz are going to make us work for our shots. But as others have said, as long as we make them work equally as hard we should be able to pull it out
