A Grizzlies Fan Put His Fingers Where They Don't Belong On Marc Gasol
This... this is not appropriate....
Tony Allen's Fake Pass Was Some Harlem Globetrotter-Type Ish
Tony Allen grabbed a Grizzlies franchise record eight steals in a win over Cleveland last night, but outstanding defensive play is boring. We prefer Tony the Showman, faking out absolutely no one with a slick whiff on the full-court pass. Yeah, he might have kicked the ball for the steal, and yeah...
Gilbert Arenas (Sort Of) Sets The Record Straight On Shoe-Pooping
USA Today has a story today on Gilbert Arenas, who seems to be enjoying the quiet calm and relative anonymity of being a role player earning the veteran's minimum with the Memphis Grizzlies (that the Magic still have to pay him $60 million probably helps)....
Memphis's GM Got The Idea To Sign Gilbert Arenas From A Blog Post
Memphis GM Chris Wallace said on the air that the idea to add Agent Zero came to him after being handed (a paper copy of?) this post on 3 Shades Of Blue, pushing Arenas as a veteran postseason presence.

Report: Allen Iverson In Talks To Play In Puerto Rico
The Puerto Rican league is basically trying to sell the 36-year-old Iverson an opportunity to prove himself to teams in the NBA. It's not like he's already tried to do this or anything. [Yahoo!]...
Apparently Darko Milicic Never Invests Any Of His Money, Or Even Puts It In A Bank
Former NBA scrub Casey Jacobsen—not to be confused with former MLB scrub Bucky Jacobsen—blogs occasionally for SLAM from Germany, where he now plays for Brose Baskets. His most recent post, where he describes his NBA teammates with senior superlatives, offers a real gem about Darko:...

Oh No, Z-Bo! [UPDATE]
Grizzlies star Zach Randolph went down hard in a painful collision with teammate O.J. Mayo in the first quarter of Memphis' matchup tonight with the Bulls in Chicago. Amateur surgeons online are already claiming an ACL tear and that Z-Bo's season is over, though he later headed to the locker room ...
Memphis Could Sue The NBA If It Doesn't Get Its Shit Together
In America, if you're not getting what you need quickly enough, there is always a simple back-up plan available: go to court, tie everything up in paperwork and bureaucracy, and end up with a settlement. It's almost one of our golden rules. And so it's almost a surprise that, with lockouts straining...

Javaris Crittenton Will Turn Himself In Tonight
Put down your pitchforks, Atlantans. Javaris Crittenton, the former Georgia Tech/Lakers/Grizzlies/Wizards guard, will surrender to Atlanta police, after a brief disappearance and manhunt that landed him federal charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. He's wanted in connection with an August...
Zach Randolph Isn't In Trouble, He Just Hosted The Mansion Party Where Everyone Beat Up The Pot Dealer With Pool Cues
Remember how Z-Bo had a great year, and Memphis decided to lock him up for four years and $71 million, and everyone yelled You fools! It was a contract year! He's going to suck again for the next three years now! and Memphis didn't listen and did it anyway?...
The Thunder And The Grizzlies Gave Us A Special Kind Of "Classic" Last Night
The Memphis Grizzlies have been typecast, ever since we decided they were relevant enough to be typecast at all, as the unlikely success story with an unlikely GM and an advertised bad streak. They have "blue collar players" for a "blue collar town." The Oklahoma City Thunder, meanwhile, have slid...
