Grizzlies vs. Knicks

Where, when: FedExForum, 8:30 p.m.

TV, radio: ESPN; WMFS 92.9 FM/680 AM

Records: Grizzlies 6-1; Knicks 6-0

Lineups

Grizzlies: Mike Conley, 6-1, Tony Allen, 6-4, Rudy Gay, 6-8, Zach Randolph, 6-9, Marc Gasol, 7-1.

Knicks: Jason Kidd, 6-4, Raymond Felton, 6-1, Carmelo Anthony, 6-8, Ronnie Brewer, 6-7, Tyson Chandler, 7-1.

The skinny

Memphis is shooting for its seventh straight win since losing the season opener on the road against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Griz also want to extend their franchise-record regular season home winning streak to 14 games. Memphis has been propelled by an improved offense. The Griz are 5-0 this season when reaching 100 points. Entering Thursday's game at San Antonio, the Knicks' success could be attributed to their solid play on both ends of the court. They are among the league leaders with 103.4 points per game and sit atop the NBA with an average of 87.8 points allowed. Who to watch? Gay, who averaged 24.5 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists on 50-percent shooting in the last two games against Miami and Oklahoma City.

When I heard about the hallway thing I knew Zack wasn't someone Perkins would really want a piece of. Have heard about Perkins being a badass but no one keeps it more real than Randolph. Met Zack when he was a rookie with Portland & saw him twice a year through 2008. Nice guy but not someone who plays around. Was so glad when he went to Memphis because Portland got rid of everyone good they had and left him with a bunch of journeymen and rookies.


If Jerry Stackhouse wasn't 40 something he'd be on that list too

You know the Stackhouse stuff is true when there's multiple articles about him

I saw Kurt Snyder in the locker room hallway at the American Airlines Center right after a couple of Mavs players pulled Stack off. Two more players got Snyder out the door. If I had walked past them half a minute sooner I'd have seen the whole thing.

Gary Trent was another NBA fighter. After he and a couple of Warriors got kicked out of a game, he went into the visitors locker room and attacked Vonteego Cummings in the shower. It's a true story!

ETA: Forgot to the original reason I came to post.
I graduated from high school with one of the Grizzlies Dancers. Not the regular ones, the older ones.
