Tonight was the most fun I have ever had at a Grizzlies game before. Their turn around from the first 9 games of this season has been unreal
Grizzlies get a big win tonight
- Thread starter hatfieldms
- Start date
And what was huge tonight is they did it in front of a big crowd and on national television. Hopefully efforts like this will get people in the seats more often. The atmosphere was great tonight.
and the third level was probably a third full, maybe a little more. I would guess there were probably 14-15,000 there last night which isnt bad at all considering how bad the weather was here
Shaq's jock is still lying on the elbow with the move Conley put on him to win it. OJ's taking more chances and letting it fly, that 3 late in OT was money. Rudy taking it to the hole a lot more instead of relying on the fade away. One of these days, Gasol will get the benifit of the doubt, and quit getting those damn ticky-tack BS fouls called on him.
David Stern is the Anti Christ, and his referees are the Lap-Dogs of Satan.
Don't forget that great win at Portland too. I'm hoping to get up there Friday for the game against the Thunder. That game should be really fun this weekend.

I couldn't agree with this more. The refs make the game unbearable. The inconsistencies in their calls is laughable. I despise how veterans and well liked players get away with the ticky tack stuff but not the other way around. I'm sure this is a known factor for some time now, but I'm just a casual NBA observer. I didn't really notice it until tonight with the Griz playing a high-profile team. Had the game been called evenly, the Grizzlies win by 10 in regulation.
As a side note, Lebron is a freak of nature athlete and is worth the price of admission. But, he's a whiney *****. He can't go one whistle without getting in the ref's ear about something.

some of the calls they were calling were absolute head scratchers. And yes, Lebron is an unreal athlete. Last night was the best of both worlds, I got to see Lebron go off and the Grizzlies still won. Idid enjoy waching Thabeet put Lebron on his *** though
When Hamed Who's Your Haddadi set that pick on #23 and he hit the deck, I flashed back to the Hump when Double D set that pick and separated Clint McDaniel's (or was is Corey Beck?) Shoulder. Hamed got screwed on that play. Hell, he didn't lean into nor bow up against the chosen one.
Lebron was the reason for me attending and he didnt let me down. I knew the Grizz had some young talented players but if they can keep that together they could make some noise down the road. The best were a couple of guys behind cussing Conley all night long everytime he touched the ball but when he dropped the game winner in they changed their tune.
And it definitely helps to have big crowds I there like last night. They are a young team that seems to be playing better and better everynight. As long as they keep it up the crowds will come. They are definitely fun to watch
I was at the game and two late buckets Lebron had, he took off from the three point line without dribbling. One time he took three steps then got under the goal and pump faked shuffled his feet around and then scored. I understand letting it go on fast break dunks to show off to the crowd, but when a game is that close towards the end you have to call traveling when its that terrible.
Tickets are dirt cheap tonight. Plaza Level for $33 is ridiculous.
