Since Feb 1 , here is how Grizzlies have done against the 11 other "playoff" teams (excluding play-in teams as of today)

Wins (3): Warriors at home (2), Denver

Losses (6): Clippers (2), Sixers, Denver, Boston, Cleveland

 

They need to start beating some playoff teams to be a serious WC threat.

This should be the Grizzlies mindset for Friday:

We better get this W.

Cant wait for Adams coming back.

Huge game.  I believe Sacramento has the tie-breaker due to better conference record - so we can only let them gain one more on us if we want the 2 seed.

Everybody should be rested and ready to go.  Let's make this a statement game and blow them out.

Kawhi is at shootaround this morning. Doesn't mean he's playing, but I believe he was out Wed. for personal reasons. I'm guessing he plays tonight. On another topic, I wish we could get Ja to quit shooting 3s. We have Luke and Des and others for that. I'd even rather have Dillon taking them before Ja. Ja does so many other things so great for us. Please Ja! Leave the 3 point attempts to the other guys.

Ja cooled off as the season went on. I hope he take some open ones to get his legs under him and being able to hit some in the Playoffs.

Ziaire?

Is there a flu outbreak or am I missing something?

My bad. I meant because Konchar and Laravia were out, but he is out too.

9 man rotation

What happens if there's a tornado warning for downtown Memphis, and the game is going on? I'm taking they'll stop the play, but what happen to the fans? Not every fan can be in the concourse of the arena... I guess just the club/upper deck of fans would move down.

I assume the forum is built to withstand a tornado by a pretty wide margin

[GrizzTigerFan 0]

funky start so far. 

[GrizzTigerFan 0]

wow they just throwing the ball away. ... and why in the hades is Dillon helping off of Kawhi??

[grizz1016 0]

Wow, what a day. Just got home. Tornado missed my office by 100 yards or so. I had actually left my office about 15 minutes before it went through to pick up the kids at school. My employees had to take shelter in the down stairs bathroom. Large chunks of trees fell on a couple of their cars, one likely totaled.

I couldn’t make it back to the office at first because trees down, completely blocking the road on three different ways. Just driving around, lots and lots of damaged houses, lots of trees completely uprooted, power lines down. The area around my office looks like a war zone.

Looks like the supercell is going south around Helena crossing the river now

Glad to see you made it.   It looks crazy out there.
