Grizzlies Beat Suns On Buzzer-Beating Reverse Alley-Oop
As game-winners go, a 180 reverse alley-oop over and around a pair of defenders at home on a Sunday where your local NFL team scored 42 points and won is about as good as it gets. That’s what happened for the Grizzlies today....
Vince Carter Nails Buzzer-Beater From Three-Quarter-Court
Vince Carter has played a mere 101 minutes this year and has only hit seven threes, but this one should count double. The Grizzlies lost, but the Hawks didn’t hit any shots nearly as cool as this. ...
Warriors Top Grizz, 119 To—Wait, I'm Pretty Sure This Is A Video Game Score
There’s been a terrible mistake. The AP, ESPN, even the NBA itself—they’re all recording the final score of last night’s Warriors-Grizzlies game as a 119-69 win for the Warriors, but clearly that is the score of some kid’s video game. I mean, ha ha, 119-69, get the fuck outta here, who would even be...
Report: Matt Barnes Drove To Los Angeles To Fight Derek Fisher For Dating His Estranged Wife
Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes drove to his estranged wife’s Los Angeles home last Saturday when he learned that former Lakers teammate and current Knicks coach Derek Fisher was seeing her, according to the New York Post....
Grizzlies Hold Pregame "Moment Of Song" In Memory Of B.B. King
Memphis legend B.B. King died last night, and given his importance as a cultural icon to the Blues capital, it was a given the Grizzlies would do some sort of tribute before tonight’s Game 6 against the Warriors. But the occasion didn’t call for the standard moment of silence; instead, the Grizzlies...
The Warriors Are Cruel
I won’t presume to know how Grizzlies fans were feeling during the first few minutes of last night’s Game 5 loss to the Warriors. It was certainly too early for them to be feeling confident, but the Grizzlies being up by double digits early, with Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph doing their thing and th...
Who Will Be Healthy For The Western Conference Playoffs?
All season, we’ve been waiting for the Western Conference playoff bloodbath to start. Unfortunately, it’s looking like a lot of the blood has been spilled too early. ...
Jeff Green Dunk Annihilates Entire Nation
Jeff Green threw down a dunk during tonight’s game against the Wizards that certainly shook anyone and everything associated with Washington, D.C. that we should expect to awake tomorrow to pure and unadulterated anarchy....
Hey, Guy, Just Shake Marc Gasol's Hand
After Tuesday night's game against the Hawks, Grizzlies center Marc Gasol was giving daps to fans as he headed into the locker room. One fan did not want any of Gasol's daps, though, and pulled the ol' pull-the-hand-back-and-rub-your-hair handshake prank....
Tony Allen's Son Barfed All Over Him
Today, Tony Allen let us all know that his son barfed on his face. He even provided photographic evidence. Twitter is a beautiful service....
Vince Carter's Old-Man Dunk Makes Me Happy
Let's be honest, this probably isn't a bloggable dunk if it had been done by, say, Terrence Ross or Gerald Green. A good-but-not-great dunk is a little more noteworthy, however, when it's 37-year-old Vince Carter throwing it down, showing us all that sometimes—even when you're a shell of your former...
Everybody Do The Andre Iguodala Travel Dance!
Late in last night's game between the Grizzlies and Warriors, Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley dropped in a layup that put his team up 95-88 with three minutes to play. Warriors forward Andre Iguodala thought Conley took one too many steps on the drive, and he used the language of dance to expres...
Vince Carter Receives Standing Ovation, Cries During Return to Toronto
Vince Carter's Memphis Grizzlies are playing in Toronto tonight, and for the first time since the Raptors traded the former Air Canada to the Nets in 2004, he was cheered. Carter has played 16 games in Toronto since the trade—including a playoff series in 2007—and in every single one of them he was ...
Buzzer-Beating Tip-In Winner Called Good After Five Minutes Of Replay
The Memphis Grizzlies somehow pulled out a 111-110 win tonight at home over the Kings thanks to a buzzer-beating inbound pass-to-tip-in from Vince Carter to Courtney Lee with just 0.3 seconds remaining. It then took officials nearly five minutes to declare the basket good and to allow the Griz to ce...
Tony Allen So Excited To Enter Game, He Forgot To Take His Shirt Off
NBA uniforms have gotten pretty ridiculous lately, but we aren't quite to the point where players are competing in their warmup shirts. That didn't stop the Grizzlies' Tony Allen from trying to enter tonight's game against the Kings while still sporting his warmups....
Tony Allen Gets Frustrated, Smacks Cameraman's Camera For Some Reason
Cameramen creep up on the baseline at NBA games, and sometimes that causes players to fall into the media line after a foul or shot. But Tony Allen was nowhere near one cameraman during last night's game against the Pelicans, so it makes no sense why he turned around and smacked the guy's camera aft...
Anthony Davis Comes Out Of Nowhere For The Putback Dunk
Welcome to the latest edition of Anthony Davis Does Something You've Never Seen Before. Today we have him launching himself from just in front of the dotted line, extending his Groot arm to collect a shot that clanged high off the rim, and then throwing down the putback dunk over poor Zach Randolph—...
Memphis Grizzlies Honor Baby In Bear Suit At Halfcourt
During a timeout in the Memphis Grizzlies' opener last night, mascot Grizz brought a baby to halfcourt while The Lion King's "Circle of Life" played. Now "Circle of Life" is playing in your head as you read this....
The Grizzlies' Front Office Is A Dysfunctional Zoo Of Obtuseness
The briefly open relationship between the Memphis Grizzlies and head coach Dave Joerger reset curiously this week when the Minnesota Timberwolves did not hire him away. Hall pass thus revoked, Joerger came back and made nice with his bosses, who, if this delightful bit of reportage by SI's Chris Man...
Zach Randolph Is Suspended For Game 7. This Is Some Bullshit.
The NBA just announced that Zach Randolph will be suspended for Game 7 tomorrow night. The league says that it's for punching Steven Adams in the jaw. We would contend, if Z-Bo punches a man in the jaw, he's going to fall a lot harder than that. ...
