    Mike Miller is out. Concussion in the practice. Expect to be out for the next 5 games. Now, close down that lane. Shut down that base lane to Pau. More power to him if he can hook shot over Yao or Deke.

    Stick Deke on Pau.

    We will win this, especially since they are under manned.

    Go Rox!

    i expect to see AB get a few more minutes tonight. sura might become a liability trying to guard Jwill. tmac will have a tough night with posey, battier, and bonzi guarding him. wesley will have a tough night too. i expect them to post him up a lot.

    williams, gasol, and swift will have good games.

    it doesn't look good unless yao and tmac carry us. sura, wesley and barry are gonna have to have good shooting nights too. and lets hope Jho keeps up the good work.

    i'm not saying we will lose, i'm saying if we play to our potential we will win, but we don't allways do that as a team.

    Yao will do the 'aw shucks' clap shortly before he fouls out and several YOF's and YOHs heads will explode for various reasons.

    We'll either win or lose and that'll determine if MemphisX makes an appearance on the board. I guess he doesn't like coming around after we whupped up on his team the past 2 times...sore loser. :)

    Two teams on a roll fighting for a playoff place.

    This is practically a playoff game and I give it to.. the home team.

    Minnesota lost to Toronto as well so we can separate ourselves a little further from Minn and Memphis with a win.

    So far so good..

    Oh man .... that dunk by Stro makes anything Amare has ever done to the big fella look like a passive layup. I really hope that rattles his cage and gets Yao fired up.

    Are we trying to get Swift the full MLE? Becuase he should have to pay a % of that to the Shanghai Sharks and the Chinese government because if he gets it...

    Yao just got posterized by Swift. lol

    I don't know but I feel that the Grizzlies are stronger..they are more athletic..with more depth..but we've beat them twice before..so we can do it again. We just have to play our defense.

    i think yao gets posterized more than anyone because he doesn't back down from any dunk. He just attempts to block everything...i guess he could care less.
