Basketball Thoughts #10

Watch for the Memphis Grizzlies. They are on a roll right now. They acquired Shane Battier from Houston. Too bad they don't have Rudy Gay. They could be doing much better with Gay in the starting lineup. To make up for Gay's absence, Tony Allen and Leon Powe have stepped up their basketball games. These former Celtics player, part of the 2008 Boston Celtics' championship team, are helping the Grizzlies maintain a hold on the 8th and final spot for the Western Conference playoffs. Zach Randolph is a dominant low-post threat and with a big guy, pivot center like Marc Gasol, you can't go wrong. Mike Conley, Jr. is running the point so I believe the San Antonio Spurs who will be likely to be facing the upstart Memphis Grizzlies be in for a competitive basketball series.
