    So Memphis loses Conley to injury and they win 4 in a row. Not very good competition, but as @blue9 pointed out, they are a team of scrubs right now. Still will be a tough game.

    Wow, you don't know who Jamychal Green or Andrew Harrison are, and you post regularly on a basketball forum?

    And if you don't remember that pest Troy Daniels scoring nearly at will and smack-talking with Mo Williams during the Blazers' playoff series against the Rockets a few years ago, you might be...

    Ha! I don't have nearly enough time to know all the players on all the teams. I certainly do recognize the names, but if I were given a list of names and pictures to match them with I'd fail HARD on this MEM roster.

    I do recall that Daniels/Mo incident, but never would have matched the incident to the name/player!

    These guys, to me, are like Layman and Quarterman are to non-Blazers fans.

    For most of them, I agree. Green has been one of Memphis' better players for the past couple years though, so I'm surprised you wouldn't know him. I was half-kidding about Harrison; him I only know because of his (mostly disappointing) time at Kentucky with his twin brother.

    Troy Daniels is averaging 22 PPG on 50/50 shooting splits in his last 5 games FWIW

    Oh man, didn't realize, but you're right. And Memphis has won 4 straight now in that stretch.

    I have a bad feeling about him lighting us up. He's going to get free off of screens and toss up 15 3's tonight.

    I'm still commuting home from work. If I don't make the next game thread, that probably means I didn't make it home and died tragically in this snow storm. ;)

    Well, looks like that was what Stotts stopped to talk to Leonard about in the locker room. Both he and Evan Turner will start tonight.
