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....

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...
Double-OT Miami Beach Bowl Ends In All-Out Fight Between BYU & Memphis
It's a Monday afternoon, and thus time for college football live from an MLB stadium.

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.

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

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.

The Grizzlies' Front Office Is A Dysfunctional Zoo Of Obtuseness

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. ...
The Kevin Durant Backlash Has Begun, And It's Stupid
This is the cover of a section in today's Oklahoman, a newspaper which just took a chainsaw to the idea that smaller cities are more loyal and forgiving than the big ones. Shots fired, as they say....
