The Grizzlies Break the Streak


Washington had a three-game winning streak going, but the Memphis Grizzlies broke it. This looked like a Wiz win before halftime, but Pau Gasol--upset by his team's inability to beat a Garnett-less Minnesota the day before--took it upon himself to turn things around. He did it with worrisome ease.

The Grizzlies shot 67% in the third, while their defense held the Wizards to around 36%. A 9-0 run in the fourth put the game away, giving them a ten-point win.

Final score: 108-98, Memphis. I'm not pleased with Gilbert Arenas' post-game comment: "We played well tonight. We just didn't pull it off. But we're not really concerned about what we're doing on the road right now."

What on Earth do you mean, you're not really concerned about losing on the road?! Sure, protecting the MCI Center is key, but the Playoffs are going to be awfully short for Washington if they can't get road wins.

Sidelines: Next game is at home on Wednesday vs. the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers whipped the Wizards in Conseco Fieldhouse--but, of course, that was an away game. Let's see if Gilbert's "as long as we win our home games we'll be fine" attitude gets a victory.

    Don't pay any attention to what Arenas says. The guy is a little wacky but he is one of the best players in the league and the Wizards can build a championship contender around him. They missed Butler the other night and they forgot how to defend. If they can go .500 against teams like Cleveland, New Orleans, and Memphis, and win against the third tier teams, they'll be fine.
