The Road to Redemption

By lahull20 On May 16, 2013 · Add Comment · In May 2013

The Memphis Grizzlies are doing exactly what they should be in the NBA Western Conference playoffs – beating a Thunder team without their second option in Russell Westbrook. What’s happening in this year’s playoff run for the Grizzlies isn’t necessarily a surprise, but everyone looks for a good redemption story.

They really are doing much more than [...]

Standing On The Edge

By Jhugar On May 15, 2013 · 5 Comments · In May 2013

It’s hard to believe that three weeks ago, the Grizzlies were down 2-0 in the first round. It looked like the best season in franchise history might end up being a grave disappointment. When I watched Game 2, I was the only one in my house still awake. Now, this has happened to me dozens of times over the years during crucial sporting events, and normally, I’ve been able to keep my mouth shut. This time, however, I [...]

Grit and Grind – A Definition of Sorts

By Red Coleman On May 14, 2013 · 3 Comments · In May 2013

Tony Allen coined the phrase the night that he proved his ability to the coaching staff and to the fans, by stepping into the role of starter in a road game in Oklahoma City in February 2011 after Rudy Gay had to sit out with a sprained big toe. O.J. Mayo was also unavailable in that game due to a league-imposed 10-game suspension. Pressed into [...]

Thunder vs. Grizziles = Republicans vs. Democrats?

By Red Coleman On May 13, 2013 · Add Comment · In May 2013

I posted a link to this on Twitter (@3SOB) last week when it aired, but it probably deserves a little more attention. As Lee Smith pointed out to me, you know you have made it when the media starts mentioning you in non-basketball ways. Well, this isn’t a completely non-basketball related discussion between ESPN Truehoop’s own Henry Abbot and Kevin Arnovitz, but it definitely strains the boundaries of tying in basketball and politics.
