The Tigers are a good team, and have a terrific home crowd. I'm not worried about the starters, but the bench better bring it tomorrow.

Awesome, my wife goes there and i work down the street. Should be a great game! We will get a special delivery for the win! They have got some good Frosh, hope we can contain them.

Contain Randolph (aka: Fat Boy) and don't let a scrub destroy = double digit win. If you think about it, every team should bring their A game when they play the Grizz since they screwed everyone by giving Gasol to the Lakers.

Trade not as one sided as was once thought. They did get Gasol Jr. in that trade. Their frontcourt is about as good as anyone, but alas still have not got that great point and shooting guard yet.

The Lakers went from a team in turmoil to 3 time WC champs and 2 time defending champs and gave up nothing to do it. Yes, Marc Gasol has turned out nicely for the Girlies, but he was nothing more than a trade chip for the Lakers. This is the second most lopsided trade in the past 30 years.

The Lakers were already number one in the west when the trade happened.

Gasol was traded to the Lakers on 2/1/08. The West at that time:

New Orleans 32-13 .711
Phoenix 33-14 .702
Dallas 31-14 .689
San Antonio 29-16 .644
Lakers 28-16 .636
Utah 28-18 .609
Denver 27-18 .600
Golden State 28-19 .596
Portland 26-19 .578
Houston 25-20 .556
 
Perhaps, but the statement that the trade is not as one sided as thought at the time is still most definitely true! M Gasol is a good player, obviously not as good as PAu though. By your own table memphis was not even in the top 10 at the time. Mr. Heisley has to save some money :)

Have the Grizzles had injury problems ? I thought their record would be better than it is.

nothing to bad. Randolph and Gasol both missed a couple of games. mayo is now a bench player. Remember they traded Love for him. Bench is not very good.
