    CJs eyes must be lighting up just thinking about what he did to them in the playoffs

    This would be a really nice win - get it, and a home win against Houston leaves as at .500 heading into the All-Star break, and safe to say few people would have ever expected that.

    I'm hoping Stotts improves his substitution routine as the season closes out.
    To me his rigid substitution pattern is not keeping the players fresh.
    Guys have frequently looked gassed - which adds extra wear and tear as the season progresses.

    Against a physical team like the Grizzlies - I'd like to see him substitute a little more frequently.

    Here's hoping we're .500 at the break!

    I disagree...he's playing a 10 man rotation and in my view..has used a really balanced rotation..last few years, yeah...not this one though

    Defensively, do we put CJ or Dame on Tony Allen? Does Moe get the assignment on Courtney Lee? Or will Stotts just try to play it straight?

    Marc Gasol is now questionable for the game tonight.


    http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1418/marc-gasol

    "Marc Gasol (right foot) is questionable to play against the Blazers on Monday. He admitted he is playing through an injury and described it as "playing on one leg." The Grizzlies have a game on Monday and Wednesday, so they might want to be careful with Gasol this week before the break. If he can't go, expect to see a lot of small-ball lineups from the Grizzlies. Feb 8 - 2:12 PM

    Not good for my fantasy team.

    How did Meyers do against him last time, and in games past? I seem to remember Meyers being a little bitch whenever we play Memphis.

    God, I hate Memphis. The team from the Asshole of the United States.

    Dame > Meyers as a 3 pointer.

    Meyers needs to be traded. Kappa.

    Man Memphis really makes you work for any shot. I hate playing them almost as much as I hate playing the Suns.
