Grizzled Vet 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2018 Predicting early lead that shrinks and is lost in 3rd quarter. 1 possession game with 2 minutes to go and grizzlies lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rdk4121 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2018 It should be a low scoring affair, Boston doesn't score well, we don't score well. It should be fun. JJJ should have a huge advantage over any of their PFs, Kyle should do a good job on Tatum. I bet Temple will guard Kyrie, so that is a match-up to watch. Jevon might get a little run to try and pester Kyrie as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10SC-2-TOKYO 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2018 Let's see... Kyrie (Big Name) playing in Memphis - on a SATURDAY night ... Imma go out on a limb here and predict a huge crowd... prolly wearing Kyrie gear too BUT I can't hate . ( I mean , I CAN hate but Im saving it for later in this thread) I like good basketball and he plays pretty good basketball sooo- yeah ... gonna be fun . STILL gonna hate and pretend like Im not impressed with some of the smoothest handles in the league... cat quick first steps and all that... Imma sit there and cheer - a little bit - on the inside- while openly hating on him as often as possible. DEFINITELY gonna mention that he plays ABSOLUTELY NO DEFENSE as often as possible too. Also, I want to see who our tuff guy is ... gonna need to balance out Marcus Smart Almost forgot about Tatum - he was getting it in last year with Kyrie and Hayward out BUT seems to be having a little trouble figuring out how to play with those guys now that they are back... Never really watched Hayward so I can't say if he's back or what... BUT the fact that he is back on the court after we all saw what happened to him at the beginning of last season... says a lot to me Dillion Brooks looks like he is facing the same challenge. (not the gruesome injury - just the learning to mesh his game with the established team leaders now that they have returned). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gman1 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2018 Game 2 of a 3 game road trip sandwiched between Houston and San Antonio. Not sure we can count on the Celtics overlooking the Grizzlies but maybe a few too many ribs in the off day will help make their play sluggish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VikingWarrior 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2018 Get next and end 2018 on a high note! My wishes: - less Mack - More JJJ - on of our 1201 bench wings giving us some consistent minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuvThem Grizzlies 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2018 The next 2 games are going to show everyone just where the Grizz are currently at. A split wouldn't be bad but losing both won't be good. The Grizz didn't look good in either of the last 2 games to me even though they did beat the Lakers. I think they should match up pretty good with the Celtics.

BigHunkALove 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2018 Here's a few tidbits from the ESPN preview of the game, the second is an interesting statement: When the Celtics have scored more than 100 points, they've won 12 of the last 14 meetings. When they've been held to 100 or fewer, the Grizzlies have prevailed in seven of the last nine games. ....it'll be Conley vs. Irving in a point guard matchup that might be seen again at the NBA All-Star Game in February, but because of circumstances, hasn't been seen in an NBA regular-season game in nearly four years -- March 2015.
