Grizzlies Pickup Games

Everybody pretty much is back in Memphis and we have had some heated pickup games the last few days. I expect more games along those lines as it gets closer to the start of the season. Marc Gasol has looked really good and is a very nice outlet passer. I have my bowling event coming up this weekend so I will try to get video of that to post. I'm out.

  That video from last year's contest was sick.

  Glad to hear that the team's doing well. You guys will improve from last year and Marc is gonna be good. I'll see you at the Kings home opener, and tell Marc not to push down Chris Bosh again.

    You're kidding right. If the Blazers live up to their potential they are the next NBA dynasty. The Blazers second unit of Pryzbilla, Frye, Outlaw, Fernandez, and Bayless is better than the Grizz starters.
    
    Does anyone out there in Memphis land remember Travis Outlaw?

      lol
  • Rosecity07 replied September 24, 2008

    I can answer that, Portland does. Roy was an all star last year and the Blazers won 41 games without Greg Oden. Rudy Gay is going to have to beast everyones face and Mayo will have to play like Wade for them to be a playoff team.

      Portland's gonna wreck shop in the West.
      And ain't no one gonna see em coming. I'm excited to see what they got. Shake up the same ol same ol that's been going on the last few years.

    It depends on how hard OJ wants to work and how he responds when things get tough. Marc is different than Pau he is really strong/physical while he has skills I haven't seen many 7 footers in the NBA as skilled as Pau.

  Hey Conley, I like the talent you have over there in Memphis, but in that west it is going to be another long year. Keep your head up though you have a ton of game you will get your shot sometime. How about your boy JUan Carlos killing D-Will and Chris Paul in that gold medal game. It is a good thing Kobe came on that trip so the US had someone who could guard him.

  Both teams have huge potential, but right now PTown is where its at, and deep down Mike wants to play for us.

  Hi Mike. Could you give a quick summary of how everyone has looked in the pick-up games so far? We only seen bit and pieces and not everyone (including you) have been mentioned. Thanks.

  I always believe that you are the player who makes your teamates better. How long do you think Marc and Mayo will take to get used to the NBA games?
