I wish this Celts game would go off so we could see our game. Only bad thing about being on TNT.

Yeah, pretty rough on both ends so far..
those athletic bigs are gonna be tough for us, for sure
We didn’t come out with any fire at all. Looks just like the Portland game early

3-12 to start off. Ugh….

Why in the world are we having such trouble covering the wings tonight
No reason we should get caught with our pants down this many times so far.
We look like garbage

best Grizz coach ever....
…. Maybe a tie with Hubie
by peytont on Jan 26, 2012 10:27 PM CST via iPhone app up reply actions
Well, Hubie is a great all time coach, although he didn’t do all of his career with Memphis. I think Lionel could be a 7-10 year guy here in Memphis, so he should definitely end up as the best coach in franchise history.

If we could just convert somethings on offense, we could build a little lead here. We are playing pretty decent defense.

Agreed.
I really dig the love that Reggie is giving TA. He’s a great defender, and I like when he gets national recognition.

Oh TA...
You’re defense is a elite, and your offense is atrocious.

it's an FN atrocity
that he finished 3rd in defensive player of the year voting but was named to the all-defensive 2nd team.

I believe Kobe and CP3 got 1st team over him

It’s a real shame that Howard got DPY. He isn’t a great defender, just a freak of nature.

Hey guys since we're all here...
I really want to get some tickets for the Indiana game on Feb. 10. Been a Pacer fan since I saw Reggie fighting MJ lol. Ya’ll know of any websites that offer cheaper prices?

Griffin is having his way with Pondexter right now.
Not really a surprise, but still…
Its tough to defend him from the bench

Wow Griffin
Not 20 minutes ago, did i think to myself
" He’s never gonna be able to spin off a defender and reverse jam it like Shawn Kemp in the 1996 finals"
Way to jinx us newbie

Didn't get it off in time
But still, tremendous second quarter. Let’s make some adjustments at halftime, and not come out flat and ugly like last game
It was a particularly small egg...thats why I asked.

Grizzlies pulled back in the 2nd. I’m afraid Chris Paul’s “limited minutes” may go out the window in a tight second half…
I’d rather him play over Caron Butler. Dude is lighting it up the last few games
It was a particularly small egg...thats why I asked.
by thenightstallion on Jan 26, 2012 10:55 PM CST up reply actions
Nope. He hasn’t gotten minutes this season. Its really inexplicable. He was such a huge part of our team last year with Rudy down, and now he’s nothing more than a body on the bench
It was a particularly small egg...thats why I asked.
by thenightstallion on Jan 26, 2012 10:58 PM CST up reply actions
Is Quincy the reason, though? It’s not like he’s looked that great.
by mtblueraider on Jan 26, 2012 10:59 PM CST up reply actions
I don't think so.
He was still not getting any minutes before we got Pondexter here.
It was a particularly small egg...thats why I asked.

Neither are really getting minutes, though. I hope Rudy isn’t gassed come playoff time.

Let’s just get ZBo back and healthy and we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it

Tony Allen’s ability to get to the line has really kept us in this game. 10 free throw attempts so far

Z-Bo having to adjust?
Idk how i feel about that.

You should know how you feel.
You should feel like thats wrong. ZBo isn’t going to adjust at all. He is our workhorse. Not Rudy.

I'm a bit muffed
That Lionel Hollins actually said that. Hopefully it was just tongue-in-cheek.

I don’t think he said it.

I think Reggie brought it up
He gets a bit off/too serious though sometimes. So hopefully it wasn’t as big of a deal as he and the other announcers made it seem.

Yeah, and that is their job, to make conversation and stories and things like that.

Conley's checking Paul nicely
And Rudy isn’t doing too bad on Blake (minus thay dunk).
by blubomber17 on Jan 26, 2012 11:30 PM CST via Android app up reply actions
TA should have gotten the shot and the foul there
Walked away with neither.
Please watch that play again, notice the foul call, and then tell me the refs don’t call plays in favor of “superstars”

Conley is getting pretty pissed at some of these calls. Can’t say that I blame him

Selby seems more comfortable than Pargo on my opinion, though. Nothing playing time wouldn’t change I guess.

Reggie said “Marc Gasol slides over to contest Pau Gasol”
I feel good about this game. If we can finish this half as well as we did the first half, a win here would be a huge confidence boost.

You ever gett the feeling that Gay gets a "I have to put the team on my back" mentality sometimes?
And that it forces him to put up some unneeded shots occasionally?
oh man
haven’t been watching a second of this game. looks like it’s been an intense battle. how y’all doing?

If you needed proof that Gay hasn't reached "superstar" status yet
Its these calls that he doesn’t get.
I am
Heartbroken. That turnover… what a killer.
