Lakers are retiring Pau Gasol’s jersey at this game.

Really hard to get excited for games right now.

Not sure it is worth staying up to watch Anthony Davis shoot 20 FTs tonight.

 

Predicting Lakers shoot about 37 FTs to about 12 for Grizzlies, with AD, if healthy, getting about 20.

[GamesOut 0]

Anger towards Ja is about a 5 out of 10 right now.  After 2 or 3 more losses, I expect this to grow to about an 8 out of 10, replacing the anger towards the coach and the refs.

Final time 

Is Steven Adams back ????

[Joey Crawford 0]

I hope Grizzlies play like they did in the third quarter of the Clippers' game.

Dillon will be back.   And let's hope Stevo.     Go Grizzlies!

Don't worry, no need to stay up late tonight.  

But, if you do want to watch the game, you'll need to stay up late tomorrow night.

And this is the type of mistake I make staying up and watching the Grizzlies play west coast teams.

I hope the Grizzlies DON'T play like they did in the fourth quarter of the Clippers' game.

I’m praying for an evenly officiated game tonight 

[bterry1990 0]

Also I want to see Jaren demand the ball when he has a clear advantage he has to stop allowing players like Eric Gordon to guard him and he has to tell his teammates to give him the freakin ball

Does anyone have the line on the over/under # of games before Dillon gets another tech?

Everybody says no setback for Adams. And I believe them. 
 

But another week and he hasn’t even been updgraded to Doubtful yet.

Can Dillon keep his composure these next two games? Imagine Lakers fan will be heckling in full force and Sharpe may be in the building as well. And then against Golden State, have to figure there’ll be plenty of salt in the wound about our struggles lately.

Can we stop the sun from rising in the east and setting in the west?

Yep. Dillon, Draymond, Luka, Pat Bev, Trae Young . . . are going to continue to get technical fouls.

Does anyone remember the last time a referee changed the call because a player argued with it?

No but they sure call fouls when a player yells during the middle of the play like he was hit and they sure give players like Lebron makeup calls when they keep arguing.

 

Refs have a hard job but they're making it harder. When players complain keep calling things against them. When they yell for a foul never call it. All of a sudden the whole problem solves itself when you remove the incentive.

Yeah.  Maybe since its Aquamane, he just goes straight from out to starting.  

Yesterday, Drew Hill said he watched him play 5-on-5 in LA and he looked good.

Anyone think that any of the players went out to a club in LA last night?

Hmm... I think the Memphis Grizzlies stop just short of Full "Interrupt CNN" Mode.

But, I could be wrong.

Any what does Ja do when the game is on?  I'd probably turn on my 10 foot big screen TV at my home's half court basketball gym and pretend that I was in the game.

He's gonna watch the game with @Joey Crawford and partake in his half time snacks.
