They could easily go 9-1 down the stretch.
Although 8-2 or 7-3 is more likely, depending on how much they rest players or injury. After these next 3 games against playoff teams/contenders, they have teams that are positioning themselves for the lottery.

04/11 v. Suns
04/12 @ Spurs
04/14 v. Utah
04/15 @ Hornets .
04/17 @ Timberwolves
04/18 v. Hornets
04/20 @ Bobcats
04/21 v. Trail Blazers
04/23 v. Cavaliers
04/26 v. Magic

The thing that might hurt the Grizzlies the most is the sheer amount of back to back games. 8 of 10 are back to backs.

The reason why Gasol has that reaction is because he has to deal with the biased officiating and refs that protect LA teams.


This video is pretty standard.
Gasol "fouls" CP3 with his stomach.

What a terrible call. I can't stand Chris Paul. All he does is fall.

Another night another win.

Grizzlies have 6 guys average double figures in ppg.
And have the NBA longest streak of holding the opponent under 100 (11 games), which will be tested by SAS tonight.

Tough loss tonight. Grizzlies ran out of steam in the 3rd. Made it interesting in the 4th, but ultimately came up short.

Missed Tony Allen tonight on Manu.

Spurs made the baskets and got the rebounds tonight when it mattered most.

And made stops when needed.
Grizz didn't stop pick n roll.

But they should be able to win out their last 8, but have a big game Saturday against the Jazz who they don't match up well against.

Wow what an ugly terrible loss tonight. Got outplayed by NO.

Since March 30th (17 days):
12 games
5 nights off
2 games against teams not contending for playoffs (1-1)
3 games against teams contending, but currently not playoff team (Bucks, Jazz, Suns) 3-0
7 games against playoff teams (4-3)
1 game that didn't either have a game the night before nor night after.


They are running out of gas for a reason.
I think a lot of playoff teams are having a bad loss or game down the stretch.

Also, the worst part of last night:

Marc Gasol has hyperextended his left knee and will undergo an MRI Monday.

Won both games of the back to back. Only 4 games left in the season.

Didn't catch the game but only a 5 point win against Charlotte. What exactly happened?
Iowaggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'm actually in charlotte tonight, but not able to watch much of game.

Down after the first and 3rd quarter, and had to have a strong 4th quarter to pull out the win.

Sleepwalked much of the game and were cold offensively.
Not playing well

If the Bobcat game was like the Portland game, I can see why they barely won.

Bench players are getting some significant run before the playoffs. Starters are playing much less.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of starters get some playoff time minutes in the Cavs game before they shut it down for the last game against the Magic.

Tony allen with 13 points and 8 steals last night in the ho hum win the cavs.

Another night of no Arenas, and randolph keeps looking worse each time out.

Last game of the regular season Thursday. I am a little worried about this team going into the playoffs. If Randolph is not playing at 100% the Grizzlies may be one and done.

HAven't seen much of Arenas in the last few games...is he in the doghouse or dinged up or something?

RIght on Randolph. He needs to pick it up, not playing well lately.

Clips lost tonight to Atlanta pulling them dead even with the Grizz and owning the tiebreaker. Need a Clips loss @ NY and a Grizz win over ORL to clinch the 4th seed.

Also, CP3 strained groin in Hawks game.
They need the win, so he will play tonight.


However, word is that the Knicks will sit Tyson Chandler and they would rather sink to the 8 seed and play the Bulls than stay at 7 and face the Heat. However, as mentioned earlier, if the Bobcats can beat the Magic, than the Knicks can get to 6.

CP3 out for the Knicks game.

But with the Magic winning, the Knicks might just shut it all the way down

NY up at half by 9.

Knicks up by 18 over halfway through the 4th quarter have let the Clips back into it and now only lead by 3 with under a minute left. Carmelo has sat almost the entire 2nd half.

Knicks win. Grizz need the win over the Magic tomorrow to clinch the #4 seed and home court over the Clips...

If the Grizzlies can't beat a Magic team that will be resting its starters, and really isn't that good without Howard, than they deserve to fly all the way to LA, and lose the HCA.

Flop City lost. If the Grizzlies win tonight they will have home court for the first round.

Grizzlies win to lock up the 4th seed. Beat Flop City!

After two consecutive trips to the playoffs and a return to respectability in the Western Conference, Michael Heisley has found a buyer to purchase the Memphis Grizzlies, according to sources with knowledge of the owner's plans.

Sources told ESPN.com that Heisley has an agreement in principle to sell the team to communications technology magnate Robert Pera, who at 34 has a spot on Forbes' list of the 10 youngest billionaries in the world.

I'll bury this deep where few will see this:

Memphis Grizzlies starters/top reserves from the Hubie/Frattelo era:

Pau Gasol (championship with Lakers)
Mike Miller (championship with Heat)
Shane Battier (championship with Heat)
Jason Williams (championship with Heat)
Brian Cardinal (championship with Mavs)
James Posey (championship with Heat)
Lorenzen Wright - Dead

Lots of good role players...but could never win a playoff game.
