Well, I'm staying in for a night with the Grizz and the free NBA league pass,so I figure I'll just update this "live". Here's some thoughts on the first half:
-Zach Randolph rebounds like a man possessed.
-We may have to double team Bosh. He's got 25 and 7 at half. I know they've got shooters everywhere, but damn.
-OJ is making some shots.
-Rudy is being very agressive... as he should be.
-Marcus Williams outplayed Mike Conley. Conley came out fairly agressive, then had a few turnovers in his second shift.
-DeMarre Carroll plays HARD.
That being said, aside from the turnovers, it was close to a perfect first half. I'm a little worried that we shot 56% and are only up 53-49. We've got to keep up the intensity to have a shot at the W. I wouldn't count on Bargnani having zero in the second half. Less turnovers, same rebounding. Let's get a W!!!
On to the second half...
-If Marc can stay out of foul trouble, Bargnani may have a long night.
-Good high low action with Zach and Marc to start the half.
-Horrible call for Marc's fourth. That could be huge.
-Gasol is out. Bargnani has 10 this quarter.
- Grizz playing with good pace. I like it.
- I'm starting to really like Zach Randolph. Dude just works.
- Let's see if Marcus Williams continues to outplay Conley.
- I think it's important to point out that Hasheen Thabeet has not been in the game.
- Down 79-76 going to the 4th.
- 4th quarter. Let's hear it Grizzlies fans!!!
- RUDY!!! HOLY CRAP!!
- Is Rasho Nastarovic killing us? Rasho Nastarovic?
- 88-80. We need a run.
- Randolph and Conley back in. Rudy getting a quick blow.
- Sorry, OJ getting a break. They can't both wear these sleaves!!!
- Grizz in the bonus with 9 minutes to go. Daddy like.
- Tie ball game!!!! Go Grizz!!!
- Can we slow down Chris Bosh? We're about to find out.
- DeMarre is making it hard to put OJ back in.
- Veteran move by Turkoglu. Give him 3 shots. Damn.
- Nice play by Gasol. 3 the old fashioned way.
- Well, if they're going to give Bosh that call, we can't stop him.
- The Juice is loose!!! For three!!!!!!!
- Grizz up five. Offensive rebound by Gasol. Bargnani fouls out!!! Wow, did someone read my preview?
- Nice job, Marc! Grizz of 7.
- Mayo steal and dunk!!!
-1:30 left. 107-101 Grizz.
- Huge shot by Mayo!!! Grizz up 6 with 47 ticks left on the clock.
- Carroll making plays. Refs blew that call. It's two shots and the ball. Whatever. Up 7. 38.2 left.
- Bosh chokes.
- Knock 'em down Marc.
- Up 9. 26.6 left. OJ to the line.
- Wrap it up!!! First Grizz win of the year. Mike gets the double double. Good second half for him. All five starters in double figures.
So there it is, folks. Your Memphis Grizzlies are a .500 basketball team!!! On to Denver Sunday night. The Evilblog gameball goes to Zach Randolph. Nice work, boys. I'm going to attack some beers and watch some more games.

Nice win. Wish we could play more teams that don't defend well ;)
AI to return Monday at SAC from what I'm hearing.
