One Down, But One Up. Grizzlies Split Back-to-Back.

By HPTMatt On February 21, 2012 · 12 Comments · In Uncategorized

How often does it happen that a team seems to play better as a unit during a loss than in a win?

Well, it seemed to happen over this pair.

Two grinders, one loss, one win.

Couple  thoughts on a couple players, couple superb performances, and one VERY COOL stretch in the Philly game….

Two Wins, By Two Points Total. Grizzlies Defeat Warriors.

By HPTMatt On February 18, 2012 · 4 Comments · In February 2012

Painful. Just painful to watch a team give up a massive lead two nights in a row.

THAT BLOCK CALL ON GASOL WAS AWFUL. The NBA should come out with one of those “we missed that one” statements, but won’t. Five-on-eight.

Yeah, it’s silly to whine about officiating when the Griz manage to win in spite of questionable whistles-but this game and that one play  in particular were just really, really poorly called. Even on that last play-the amount of [...]

Grizzlies Escape MASSIVE Choke Session, Defeat Nuggets

I’d now like to perform “Wind Beneath My Wings”, dedicated to Dante Cunningham.

(singing)

Y’all should be extra glad you can’t hear me singing, ‘cuz it is makin’ the neighborhood dogs howl in pain.

Can a team be ashamed of a win? Well, only sorta.

Follow me past the jump to find out why.

Grizzlies Grind Out Another Win. Tony Allen RULES.

By HPTMatt On February 15, 2012 · 4 Comments · In February 2012

On the road, back to back, lost an hour, etc., etc., etc.

None of that matters when the players (well, the starters anyway-more on that in a second) all do what they’re supposed to do in a close game.

Up and down game, and the Grizzlies knew when it needed the biggest up.

By no means perfect, though…

Grizzlies Defeat Rockets with Steady Effort; Martin Takes Bagel

By HPTMatt On February 14, 2012 · 3 Comments · In February 2012

Don’t worry, I will not forget-SORRY KYLE, YOU LOSE AGAIN. Kyle Lowry was once again unable to defeat the Grizzlies, which seems to be his life focus. They traded you, Kyle, and you’ve done fine-move on with your life man.

In other less important Rockets news, Chandler Parsons looks like a guy who has been lost on Phish tour for a year or three. Darned talented and energetic player, though. Just gotta learn to direct and control it a bit [...]

Jazz Just Have Grizzlies’ Number, Defeat Grizzlies 98-88

By HPTMatt On February 13, 2012 · 1 Comment · In February 2012

Well, I suppose we all might have guessed how that would go. Over the years, the Griz have just had a tough, tough time with the Jazz.

A few things happened this game that were a bit surprising, and a few things happened this game that were about as surprising as the sun rising in the eastern sky.

Two short lists…

Grizzlies Victorious In Whistle-Fest 2012, Defeat Pacers 98-92

By HPTMatt On February 10, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In February 2012

Two wins in a row, and Marc Gasol continues to prove his all-star worth.

The Pacers are a very good team this season, and they’re a bit similar to the Griz (except they have both of their main post threats-not to belittle Speights’ contribution, but he’d be the first to tell ya ZBo and Gasol are the top dogs). Good defense, a jittery-quick PG, and a tall scoring PF with inside and outside ability.

Likely one of the better team [...]

Grizzlies Dominate Glass, Hold Off T-Wolves 85-80

By HPTMatt On February 8, 2012 · 5 Comments · In February 2012

Wow, I think I’d rather watch Snooki paint her toenails than see an NBA game that ugly.

Actually, that’s crazy. I’d rather watch 500 subpar NBA games than watch 5 minutes of Snooki doing anything.

The Grizzlies won this game by gathering almost 60 rebounds, bottom line.

A few  items of import?

Well, That Was At Least Exciting. Griz, However, Lose AGAIN.

By HPTMatt On February 6, 2012 · 7 Comments · In February 2012

Well, ladies and gentlemen, back below .500. Not cool, man, not cool. Uncool even.

“Finding ways to lose” is making an unwelcome return to the lexicon.

So, how’d they do it this time?

Grizzlies Finish Unkind Road Weekend

By HPTMatt On February 5, 2012 · 4 Comments · In February 2012

Oh, OKC is the best team in the NBA, Boston has finally kicked aside their collective tennis-ball-footed walker, blahblah.

The dark clouds are brewing.

There are signs.
