Memphis Grizzlies-Golden State Warriors: Is It Too Soon for a Must-Win Game?

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 14:06:28 +0000

Wednesday's Memphis Grizzlies-Golden State Warriors tilt will not be the highlight game on the NBA schedule. But, in this early NBA season, this is being billed as a "must-win" for Golden State (0-2), according to the San Francisco Chronicle . Warriors coach Don Nelson will be changing his starting lineup tonight as he will start Steven Jackson, a 6-8 forward, at power forward and Kelenna Azubuike will make his first start at small forward. That lineup should give Memphis (1-3) a big edge in the front court as they have out-rebounded all four opponents this season. The Grizzlies lead the NBA in total rebounds (47.5), are tied for first in offensive rebounds (15.8) and hold opponents to just 36.5 rebounds per game (second in the NBA). Memphis Grizzlies is ready to play their third game of a five-game West Coast road trip. They finish the trip with two games in Los Angeles against the Lakers and Clippers. Golden State is a team that Memphis can (some would say should) beat. The game is ...

Fly: Practice, riding the bench two of Allen Iverson's least favorite things

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 16:37:49 +0000

Hey, didn't you used to be the improved Browns? Tennessee QB Jonathan Crompton, decked out in his black jersey, rolls out to pass against South Carolina Saturday. Are you surprised that Allen Iverson is complaining about playing time already and pushing for a starting job? Well, you shouldn't be. "I had no problems (with the hamstring)," Iverson said after Monday's 127-116 OT loss to the Kings. "I had a problem with my butt from sitting on that bench so long. That's the only thing I got a problem with." One thing you have to admire about Pete Carroll is his willingness to admit mistakes. And he's admitting that the defensive scheme USC used against Oregon was a big ol' mistake . "This plan in particular ... it's going in the can. I'm real disappointed it turned out that way." Carroll told the L.A. Times the complicated scheme caused less-seasoned players to play too cautiously. Like those black Vols jerseys? You might be able to have one of the ...
