    I got to say, watching them win is far more entertaining than watching them lose. I got used to them losing and realized the benefits of it. Then they started winning. Well, cant tell the guys not to try so the chips will fall where they will.

    I still have nightmares about the #14 pick though :eek:

    If they have decided to win after all, then lets win a LOT! Lets win everything!

    I'm interested to see if we can play smartly and not turn the ball over. The Grizzlies take away your first option and really get after balll handlers. Super disruptive D. The last time we saw them, we folded.

    Grizzlies to be brought back down to Earth with a Rockets victory and a new streak for which we are to keep alive. Also, Alperen continues to abuse players around the league like so:

    Schedule:     Grizzlies with an extra day of rest, playing at home, and they're retiring ZBo's jersey tonight. That crowd and current team will be hyped.

    Record:     Last two weeks:

    MEM: 6-1, HOU: 5-1.
    HOU: 3rd OFFRTG, 12th DEFRTG
    MEM: 13th OFFRTG, 1st DEFRTG

    You got two hot teams. Houston's ball-movement, hot 3pt shooting and defending the 3. A a good Grizz defensive team.

    Grizz's offense comes and goes. They win with other ways: being decent at offensive rebounds. Causing turnovers, and converting with transition buckets. Our turnovers against the Bucks wasn't too bad. Still something to watch for against this team; since we pass a lot.

    Rocket's freethrows is not great. No new story there. Was bad against the Bucks too.

    There's a decent chance for a win; odds might favor them though.

    I’m looking forward to this game to see how they respond after a loss. I don’t expect another 7 game win streak but also don’t expect(well at least hope) anymore long losing streaks. I jsut want to keep seeing good offense and ball movement. Time for a KJ breakout game.

    One thing we need to clean up is our transition defense: it’s still bad. Milwaukee outscored us 27-5 in fastbreak. The difference in the game. And Memphis loves to get out in transition
