Hornets vs Grizzlies game thread.

[TheMaulClaw]

Might as well get the chatter going early.  We all need a welcome distraction. 

 

Keys to winning.

 

-Post defense on Randolf and Gasol. 

-At least break even in the rebounding column.

-Big Al needs to have a big day

-Good 3 point shooting.

-MKG keeps the good shooting up.

 

 

Lets go Hornets.  I hope we get another great turnout at the Hive.

 

Go Hornets!

One of the best offensive centers goes up against one of the best defensive centers. Should be good

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Memphis played a tough game last night against Indy and then had to fly to Charlotte. Hopefully we can take advantage of the back-to-back and the home court advantage.

Expecting 20K+ tonight.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Need much better interior defense. Can't afford that bad start this time around.

Also nobody has mentioned yet: This is Bobby Phills Night.

I made a long ass thread about the game earlier and i guess i never pressed post ): it was saved in my drafts on huddle app damn it. Good thread tho Maul

I want to see Lance put up some more points on offense this game than last

[Omega Atrocity]

Don't expect Al to have a big game tonight. Marc Gasol is probably the only big man (perhaps Noah, but Al can push around Noah) that can handle Jefferson 1-on-1. He shut him down last year.

This will definitely be a good test, Memphis has the best 4/5 combo in the NBA (imo).

That used to be Utah until they decided they didn't need an all-star caliber 4 and an all-NBA caliber 5 and let them walk for nothing.

The Southeast division thanks Utah for their contributions.

Wishing for the best but bracing for an L because 1) I'll be there and they often lose when I'm there (though definitely not every time) and 2) as amazing as opening night was (AND IT WAS AMAZING), we came back to barely beat one of the NBA's worst teams by 2 in OT. Still, any game, any winner. 

 

It just seems like we're likely to see a lapse in energy/execution after what was expended Weds. But, I saw them go 1-1 in preseason.

Phills jersey going up will be emotional

This will be a good measurement game for us.  We always seem to have trouble with the Grizzlies.  I'm confident though.  Grizz are on the road on back to back games.
