  • No Longer the Memphis Showboat

    From a Miami Herald story on former Grizzlies bad boy, Jason Williams: "It might not look like it when he's bouncing basketballs off the gym walls and through the hoop just to prove he can. Or when he's flinging the ball clear across the practice court to try to hit a defenseless Michael Doleac.

    "It's during moments such as those that Williams seems like the carefree, kid-at-heart point guard who couldn't care less about his fall from grace in Sacramento or his countless losses and ugly confrontations in Memphis."

    As J-Will's Heat prepares for the NBA finals, he gets some love from the local daily. Read it all here.

  • What Should the Grizzlies Do Tonight?

    The Grizzlies lost Game 1 in their playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks Sunday night, 103-93. Despite getting out-rebounded 24-6 (no, that isn’t a misprint) in a first-half in which star forward Pau Gasol scored only three points, the Grizzlies were able to get within one point of the favored Mavs in the third quarter before Dallas pulled away. Gasol rebounded with a fine second half (21 points and 6 rebounds), which the Grizzlies will need more of to pull the upset in Game 2, set for tonight in Dallas.

    What adjustments should the Grizzlies make? We break it down at Beyond the Arc, the Flyer’s Grizzlies blog here.
