Game Recap: Grinding on the Road in Portland

The Grizzlies ground out a great team win last night on the road against the Trail Blazers. What did it teach us about the team going forward?

The Grizzlies have historically struggled on the road in Portland, a notoriously tough place to play throughout NBA history. Maybe they'll cut the Griz some slack because Lionel Hollins is...

Final Score: Grizzlies 96, Hornets 85

The Grizzlies held off Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Hornets tonight at FedExForum to win 96-85 and improve to 42-19 on the year. So, of course, I wrote a haiku.

GameThread: Grizzlies vs. Magic

The Magic made a trade yesterday that sent J.J. Redick to Milwaukee, and now they have to play the Grizzlies. That ought to work out well for them.

Griz trade target Redick heads to Milwaukee

The Grizzlies wanted to trade for J.J. Redick, but they didn't make it happen. Instead, the Orlando guard was traded to Milwaukee in a deal that saw a lot of players moving around.

Grizzlies acquire Dexter Pittman from Miami

Using their trade exception, the Grizzlies acquired big man Dexter Pittman from the Miami Heat along with a second round pick.

The reality is that Griz brass is trying to be opportunistic today in hopes of getting something for nothing at the 11th hour (Orlando has made it clear Redick can't be had for anything less than a first-round pick). As of this morning, the Griz were looking at their exceptions one of three ways: 1) acquiring a guard/swingman they like from the end of another team's bench 2) grabbing an established big man only if he's accompanied by a second-round pick 3) not using the exception at all.
