I don't use this term often (or lightly) but... automatic win.

The Wolves are a team we simply don't lose to. Also, after Rubio went down, they went into a free-fall and, in a matter of weeks, re-established their reputation as one of the worst franchises in the NBA. Assuming they lose to Indiana on Monday, they will be riding a 10 game losing streak when we play them. They've already been eliminated from the Playoffs and have shut down for the year.

I'm positive we'll win.

[rockygriz]

Do you think they want more balls in the draft? That might make the game even easier. We need someone with nothing to win for.

They give OK a hard time yesterday, but still a must win special with Love out.

They don't have any 1st round picks.

How do you get a concussion in your neck?

hahhaha

[notnilc20]

after the poor performance in NO.....this is by no means an automatic win. Although I don't think the Grizzlies will lay two eggs in a row...I also didn't think they would let NO bully us around in the paint and out hustle us. Gotta win this one.

Conley set to get starched by Barea

[Gone Fishing]

Minny will be playing for pride! What about the Grizz?

Since Marc probaly not play,why not replace him with DC. On March 27th against Minnesota Dante Cunningham replaced Marc at center. Marc was out with a sore ankle. Cunningham played 40 minutes and scored 13 points and pulled down 14 rebounds. Speights played power forward with Z-Bo spelling him some at P.F. Memphis beat Minnesota 93 to 86 in Memphis. K- Love played for Minnesota although Minnesota's Pekovic didn't.

Why not try it again. I am worried about Derrick Williams. He will probably give Speights/Z-Bo trouble.

I just don't think Speights and this years version of Z-Bo are mobile enough to defend the paint area. Cunningham is more athletic and more active both on offense and defense.

Starters:

C. Cunningham
P.F. Speights
S.F. Gay
S.G. Allen or Pondexter (take your pick) Pondexter gives you more size along with 3pt shooting capabilities. Allen plays better defense, but he is out of control on offense.
P.G. Conley

Bench:
C. Haddadi
P.F. Z-Bo
S.F. Pondexter
S.G. Mayo
P.G. Arenas

[GrizzliesIQYO]

This will tell you how serious Hollins is about not starting Zbo if Cunningham starts this game


YO

[New_Sacred_Cow]

We need to start Z-Bo soon, he needs to get into a groove headed into the playoffs.

[chipc3]

We need to start Z-Bo because the team needs a wide body to replace Gasol and also to get Speights and Z-Bo in better sync before the playoffs.

We on the same page Chip. This balanced attack is silly, we are probably a little worse than better doing it. We are very talented so we win games regardless.

Start Zach. let OJ close. bench production is overrated

[Simple_Like_That]

Zbo must get back to starting lineup...without Gasol we depend on him to make most for us on the boards. It is your time Zbo.
