GRIZZLIES WIN GRIZZLIES WIN!!!!!

I left my media pass at home yesterday so I did not get to go to the game. It wasn't on TV either (I don't know why a game vs. San Antonio would not be televised, but whatever). The had a 20 point lead in the 3rd and I think a little in the 4th too. It was cut to 10pts with about 9 minutes left and you started thinking "here we go again." Mike Miller had 31pts with 9 minutes left in the game and of course, he ended up with 31pts on the night. Ginobili's dunk tied it with 2 seconds left and you just knew the Spurs would win in OT. After all, it is the Grizzlies we're talking about. NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND!!!! Rudy catches the ball at the top of the 3pt arc and shoots one high over Timmy D and it goes in. This team is very bi-polar. How do you lose to the Clippers and then beat the Spurs? The Grizz are 2-2 in their last 4. Wins @ Orlando and vs. San Antonio. Losses vs. LA Clippers and vs. Golden State. If you would've told me they were 2-2 after those 4 games I would've flip flopped the teams they beat vs. the teams they actually lost to. How do you explain this? Marc Iavaroni would say: "it's the NBA." Nevertheless, good win for the Grizz because they play @ Detroit on Friday who is coming off a big win @ Boston.

Tigers are now 9-0 for the first time since the 85-86 season. I thought Joey was going to fight the guy from Poland. One of these days he is going to snap and throw a ball at someones head. Antonio Anderson finally knocked down some shots. Derrick Rose hit five 3's outta nowhere. CDR was non-existant. This game was never in doubt to me. It felt like the UCONN game. Tigers get a comfortable lead, then get in 1st half foul trouble (Taggart, Dorsey, CDR all w/ 2), then the other team comes back. 2nd half rolls around and Memphis gets their guys back, they make a run, and get a 14pt lead. Coach Cal said Cincinnati probably beat his team to about 7 balls and that's why he was upset. That means you Joey. "You gotta get those balls." Rose hit a big 3 which was answered then Anderson hit one from the corner to put it away for good. Georgetown on Saturday. It will be electric. If you have tickets, you're lucky. If you sell your tickets, I don't blame you.

Notes:

-The Grizz have won @ Orlando and vs. San Antonio w/o Pau Gasol. What does that say about his real value to this team?

-Boston is now 20-3. Their 3 toughest games have been @ Orlando, @ Cleveland and vs. Detroit. They lost all 3. The best team in the NBA does not lose all 3 of those games. What am I saying? They are not the best team in the NBA. They could still easily win the East and play in the Finals, but once again, the NBA champion is coming out of the West.

-Alonzo Mourning is done and I could care less.

-Mike and Mike talked way too much about the Steelers/Rams game tonight. If the Rams win this then Pittsburgh has no business in the playoffs. You can't lose to the Jets and Rams and be considered a "legit" team.

-NFL Playoffs don't really matter to me. New England will win the Super Bowl. I had this argument last night with friends. They say "you never know what could happen." That's true, but when pressured no one was willing to bet that something crazy (like New England losing) will happen. It's all about New England, Indy, Dallas, and Green Bay. Wake me up for the Conference Championship games.

-Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. This douche is 19 and better get arrested for statutory (sp?) rape. God how I want to get a celebrity pregnant. K-Fed, Cash Warren and now this douche.

-I saw part of Die Hard 4 the other night. Justin Long is annoying, but not as bad as Keith Olbermann.

-Washington State basketball coach Tony Bennett was on the show the other day and he mentioned that R. Kelly is one of his favorite artists and in fact, he has a great christian album. R Kelly has a christian album? That's messed up.

-I watched the movie "Contact" last night around 2am. You know, the one with Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaghey (however you spell his name). Yea, it sucks.

-There's a 12 year old that is 7 foot tall. Here's the link: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2007/12/20/pkg.seven.foot.boy.kima

Somebody needs to put a basketball in his hand.

-Terrell Owens says Jessica Simpson doesn't need to be at anymore Cowboys games. I agree, she's a distraction to me too.

-Bill Parcells is the VP of Football Ops for the Dolphins. I'm glad he's off ESPN. This is all I learned from Bill Parcells: "you're quarterback has to be competent. If he's not then you're in trouble." That's an exact quote from his Friday night radio show with Chris Mortensen and Keyshawn Johnson. What a genious. Here's betting he places a call to Drew Bledsoe to see if he wants to come back.

-Stuart Scott has to undergo Chemo. I feel bad for the guy, but your lazy eye and "boo yah's" are more annoying than Beyonce's "upgrade" commercial. Please, go away for awhile.

-Lakers vs. Cavs tonight aka Kobe vs. LeBron. This is always must see TV.

-Bowl season starts tonight. None of them matter to me except for LSU/Ohio State, although I know I'll watch some of them just because it's football.

-Florida Atlantic will beat Memphis.

-Terry Bowden is apparently gaining support for the West VA coaching job. Tell me West Virginia, why wouldn't you hire this guy? Who else wants to coach in Morgantown, WV? You have a proven winner from the SEC that wants your job. Do it.

-Shut up Curt Schilling.
