I may be the least shocked person on this forum. I knew the Grizz could compete with the Spurs, and I fully expect them to go up 3-1 tonight. Not bad for a team that someone referred to as "garbage" just before this series started. :glasses:

Just like I know for certain if we had Rudy, we would win this series in 4 or 5. :glasses: Great game last night. Hope the Spurs are ready for what's coming at them Saturday night.

Mr. Tony Allen will be waiting for Mannnuu. This series will be 2-0 heading back to Memphis. FedExForum will be ROCKING come Saturday night.

Huge, huge win for this franchise and for this city. But it's only one. Three more to go.

Memphis and San Antonio will go to seven. Now, do the Grizzlies win a Game 7 in San Antonio? Probably not... But this team will give the Spurs absolutely everything they can handle.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I want one of those epic banners that everyone has in their sigs. How would a technologically retarded person such as myself go about attaining one of those? And if I'm the "old man" of the forum, I don't want to know about it. In fact, I have a hard time speaking to anyone who has no memory of Guns n' Roses in their prime.

Yes, we actually have internet here in north Mississippi. This dial-up stuff might just catch on! I kid, of course. My town is just a couple miles to the south from the great city of Memphis, home of Elvis, the best BBQ in the world, and those lovable and forever frustrating Memphis Grizzlies. I am 31 years old and have spent the last decade as a fan of the Grizzlies. Growing up in Memphis, you never really dreamed that a franchise from one of the four major sports leagues would suddenly drop into your hometown. But I'll never forget the day when I opened up the local newspaper in February of 2001 and read that the Vancouver Grizzlies were interested in moving here. I grew up a fan of the Phoenix Suns. Don't ask me how a kid from Memphis falls in love with the Suns. I guess you could say I was more of a Charles Barkley fan. And yes, I still curse John Paxson for that Finals-winning three back in '93. But from the day an NBA franchise moved to my home, I was instantly attached. You can't imagine how cool it was on the night of the 2001 Draft, when Duke superstar Shane Battier said he "couldn't wait to get to Memphis". Like, are you kidding??? That's MY home town this guy is coming to!!! Through the highs and the lows, I've been with this franchise. I love em, and I just took my step son to his very first game this past Saturday night against the T'Wolves. He is now hooked. I was referred to this site by The Lone Granger, and I am thoroughly impressed with what I'm seeing here. Great job to the admins who run this place. Now, if someone can answer this question for me. With a second overall draft pick, why did my team draft a 7'3" Tanzanian who can't play basketball?

Memphis has shown that it CAN support the Grizzlies when there's actually something to support. My biggest problem is the idiots who show up in Kobe jerseys every time the Lakers come to town. That will forever remain a pet peeve of mine. New to the site, BTW. It looks great.
