J-Rich, Amare Combine For 48 As Suns Scorch Grizzlies 109-95

The Phoenix Suns, as of late, have righted their ship, especially when the possibility of Amare Stoudemire getting traded is very real. Fortunately for them, they have been successful on the road, having won four in a row prior to their game against the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum Tuesday. Both teams were opposites of [...]

Hornets Rally, Snap End Grizzlies 11-Game Home Win Streak 109-102

If you’re the New Orleans Hornets and you’re minus your top player, Chris Paul, the first thing you think is: “We’re doomed!” A normal thought typically. Apparently, the Hornets aren’t your typical team. Paul’s replacement, Darren Collison, acquitted himself well while Emeka Okafor scored 19 second-half points, helping New Orleans rally from 21 down to defeat [...]

Parker-less Spurs End Grizzlies Three-Game Win Streak 104-97

The San Antonio Spurs are one interesting team, in this respect: coach Gregg Popovich certainly earns his money as he has to deal with lots of injuries not to mention that he looks to keep Tim Duncan as fresh as possible for a probable playoff run in March. These days, the crisis du jour for [...]

Gay, Mayo Combine for 59; Grizzlies Hold Off Suns 125-118

Until this season, the Memphis Grizzlies never had any appreciable winning streak of note at the FedEx Forum – until this season. The Grizzlies have won three straight at home and on Monday took on the Phoenix Suns, who have been having troubles of their own while on the road. Despite six Suns players scoring [...]

Grizzlies Continue Home Win Streak, Hold Off Spurs 92-86

I will have to admit right here and now – I was one of those NBA bloggers who, despite what the Memphis Grizzlies have done, past or present, wouldn’t cut them any slack. I didn’t have much respect for their current general manager, Chris Wallace, or their owner, Michael Heisley. And as I am writing [...]

Kings Lose 4th Straight, Mauled By Grizzlies 116-105

It isn’t very often that a team takes the lead at the tip-off and hangs onto the same lead for 48 minutes, yet that incident happened at FedEx Forum Monday night when the Sacramento Kings took on the Memphis Grizzlies. While both teams shot well (Sacramento at 49.4% and Memphis at 53.9%), it was the [...]

Arco Arena Gets K-Mart Special, Kings Crown Grizzlies 127-116 In OT

Monday night was the home opener for the Sacramento Kings as they hosted the Memphis Grizzlies. And like most home openers, you had a lot of pre-game hype, lots of razzle-dazzle, etc., etc. Stuff that puts people like myself to sleep – unless your team has a track record of being successful. Let’s face it [...]

Iverson Iffy For Grizzlies’ Season Opener

As anyone who has suffered from a hamstring injury knows, that area of the body can be problematic at times. If you’re Allen Iverson, I am sure that he would agree. Nonetheless, the newly acquired guard is going through a dilemma as to when he will be available for the Memphis Grizzlies. The way things [...]
