    Memphis has barely enough players to play

    Looking at those injury lists, it appears that Memphis better at tanking than us!

    Cmon Chauncey! Don’t fail us now! You know what this loss would mean.

    unfortunately, I think Portland will at least split this pair of games. Might sweep. Charlotte could open up a 2 or 3 game lead for 4th

    can the Grizzlies field the minimum 7 players? I believe Vitaly Potapenko is an assistant coach in Memphis. Grab that guy a jersey, he's 6'10 and can get some rebounds.

    even with that spread sheet of injured players, Grizz still favored by 2 points

    this will be 1st game for the Memphis emergency reserves without Jaren Jackson Jr.

    looking at recent game stats, the Grizzlies use a conglomeration of players to score the ball.

    the "team basketball" concept is boring, ISO basketball with bad shooters shooting 3's is better. Go Blazers !!

    Whoever this GG Jackson guy is, the Grizz people can’t stop talking about him. They love him.

    GG stands for Glad to Get Grizzled. I'm glad you brought this up--why does your picture look so grizzly nowadays? Is the boss making you look at too many TV sets?
