La Bomba Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Chilly temperatures met the Grizzlies for their final stop on a five-game road trip. Perhaps the weather outside Target Center where the Griz will face the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight was fitting. The Griz are about to conclude the roughest part of their schedule. It's been rather cold, too, given this matchup marks the 12th road contest in 19 games for the Griz since the regular season began. Phoenix is the only other NBA team that will have played away from home a dozen times. New Jersey, off to a 0-17 start, has played 11 road games while Orlando and Dallas have each logged 10. The Griz are trying to improve on a 2-9 record away from FedExForum -- something that has been, as one man put it, difficult. "It's been very difficult," Griz coach Lionel Hollins said. "We probably could have had three or four more wins. But we are where we are. As the schedule breaks, we'll get more practice time. Every time we come out on the road we don't have time to practice. We play back-to-back and back-to-back, and so you don't get to keep working on things." The season is barely six weeks old and the Griz are already on their second five-game, Western Conference road swing. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/dec/02/grizzlies-feel-road-trip-blues/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
