Memphis should pick up Cousins, and have a starting line up of JV next to Cousins, with Tillman - and Ja and Dillon Brooks.

The paint would be pretty much secure, as well as rebounds - as Dillon could fire away, he's going to anyway.

I read an article that the grizzlies weren't interested in Cousins, nor Blake Griffin.    Seems like the injuries have made them no longer a physical force, prior to.    Plus all the other issues. 

The article (don't have link) said Griffin has only made one dunk this season for Detroit.

The team should probably remain as for at least the rest of season.

Cousins would help the team.  He isn’t PEAK Cousins or even Late Prime Cousins but he can rebound and shoot.  He also fits our brand of Swiss Army Knives who can’t run or jump.

So since beating the Grizzlies at the beginning of the month, the Rockets haven't won a game since.

They lost Wood in the 3rd Q against us. We were down 70-49 at that point; couldn’t make up a huge deficit. Without Wood, they are a bottom tier team.

Morant, Kyle and John Wall are on my fantasy team.  I think we beat the spread against the Tankathon Rockets.

We need this win to get back to .500. I must've missed Grayson getting a concussion last game. Oh well, means more time for Melton who played really well last game. I guess Bane will draw the start, but we'll see.

Also Tillie is questionable so that's an update there.

Vegas open up houston -1 now memphis is -3/1/2    memphis 109 houston 105

Maybe it's my imagination, but it seems to me that Eric Gordon gives the Grizzlies fits 4 out of 5 times.  Well, maybe not fits - but he seems to have more-productive-than-usual games against us.

Wonder if this is the excuse needed to go ahead and start Winslow

[FrenchGrizzlies 0]

Could be a good idea to start Winslow if he rest enough after last game. Go Grizz!!

Raptors just played the Rockets. Raptors game vs Bulls tonight has been postponed due to contact tracing within the Raptors. I'm glad that the Grizzlies vs Rockets game has not been postponed. Go Grizzlies.

We should win this game without much pushback...the rockets are a mess

Going to watch on the Rockets telecast on my Roku, should be interesting.

I am calling this game a win.     ....I just hope it is for the grizzlies.

Mmm, wanna see if his ball handling and defense show improvement...  Hell be facing a guy with a much longer wingspan in Eric Gordon or face a shooter n athlete in Daniel House

Jonas getting tired of the guards taking his rebounds. 

Come on, Desmond, stay in front of your man.
