Grizz fans.

[PBRME]

Last night I was as big a Knicks fan as Spike Lee. Thanks to them, the playoffs start tonight. Hopefully I'll be siting in the Forum Saturday night and not at Fox and the Hound watching them play in LA. I'm glad it's the Magic we're finishing against.

I can't believe I'm typing this, but he's brought a calming influence and deep threat off the bench.

Gilbert says he'll be ready by the playoffs. I think he misses at least the first 2 games.

I think the Forum will be rocking. Hard to believe that in three years, the Grizz have gone from a playoff joke to a serious contender. The best part is that of all the teams that will be in the playoffs, I think there are only a handful that are set up to be good for a long time and I think Memphis is one of those teams. I'm looking forward to the craziness of the NBA postseason.

Good luck though.

Had we been healthy, we'd could very well be in that 2/3 area. I don't think anyone wants to play the Grizzlies right now.

 

[Notch Johnson dawg]

he practiced and could play tonight.

and that they present "matchup problems" for many of the top teams in their division.

He's not crucial, but it's nice to have his 15 minutes. He plays solid when he's in the game.

I really want to be in the Forum Saturday.

 

[Seinfeld]

but I can guarantee you that not one of the teams that you mentioned wants to have to play them. The team that kicked the Spurs asses last year and took OKC to the wire has only gotten deeper. I'll admit that Zebo is a pretty big question mark right now and he may not be the force that he was in the playoffs last year, but I think he'll be ok.

 

[PBRME]

Just announced the series will start Sunday. Not sure of the time.

 

[MemphisMaroon]

Good luck though.

Grizz were an 8 that beat a 1 last year, doesn't happen often. They've proven they can make it work in the playoffs by taking out the 1 seed and taking OKC to 7 games last year. Now they are the 4 or 5 and will catch an overrated Clippers team, an aging Lakers team, or an OKC team the'yve proven they can play with. <div>

Thought it was slated for Saturday per earlier reports. Well, won't be in the Forum. Just gotta get back to Jackson before tip now.

I hope we don't get screwed with the late time slot.
