Griz v. Warriors pregame.

First, thanks for everyone checking in on me. I'm gonna be alright. Just give me a bit.

Luckily, the Memphis Grizzlies are doing their best to keep things interesting. One game into his career with the Grizz, Allen Iverson is already complaining about playing time, saying his butt hurt from sitting on the bench. Give it up to Allen, he's always good for a quote.

No worries though, tonight's game should provide plenty of opportunities for AI to play and get some shots up. The small and defensively challenged Warriors may provide to be the perfect antidote to what ails the Grizz.

Two matchups I'm looking forward to checking out tonight are Mike Conley v. Stephen Curry and Zach Randolph v. Anthony Randolph. A lot of folks around these parts have been looking to throw Mike Conley under the bus, but I think the guy has been playing alright since the second half of Game 2. He should have an opportunity to show what he can do verse Stephen Curry who will not give him problems with size or athleticism. I'm looking for Mike to have his best game of the season tonight.

Zach verse Anthony Randolph should be very interesting. Anthony Randolph is 6'11" and weighs about a buck twenty. Zach is, shall we say, a little more rotund. Normally, I'd be worried about this matchup, but I think it provides an opportunity because Anthony Randolph can't shoot so he's not going to be pulling Zach out on the court. On the other end, Zach should be able to bull Anthony Randolph under the rim and score at will.

I think the Grizz actually get a W tonight and score around 120 in doing so. Should be fun for those of you who want to stay up late. I may or may not liveblog it, just depends on the post kickball activities and my mood. Check in if you want.

Until then, Go Grizz!!!!
