URGENT NEWS

Oct 20th 2007

The Memphis Grizzlies had been bought by Celtics’ owner Danny Ainge, also becoming the first owner to own 2 teams in NBA history. “What better thing than owning 2 teams, I would love if both of the teams played each other in the Finals this year but that’s unlikely as I have to do much to this Grizzlies team.” Danny Ainge a genius of the owner had recently added Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to the Celtics, who are hoping they will be in a playoff run this year. As for the Grizzlies, Ainge will do all in his power to make them a playoff team. “Yeah I think this team is mostly young and that we could do something to improve this team.” Well all we Grizzlies’ fans can do now is wait and see what will become of this team.

Oct 28th 2007

Only within eight days of being the new owner of Memphis, Ainge has acquired another superstar to go with up-and-coming forward Rudy Gay. So you probably want to know, well it is the one and only Jamal Crawford of the New York Knicks. The Grizzlies ended up trading Marc Gasol along with Jaric. The Knicks traded Crawford for the two because of their dire need of a big forward, which is where Gasol came in. Jamal will be a great addition and scoring component of the Celtics as he proven he is an all around talent averaging 17.7pts along with 3.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists. Jamal is due to start at small forward giving us the impression that Rudy Gay will most likely be playing power.

Oct 29th 2007

Danny Ainge is at it again for the second time this season as he receives Derrick Rose the number one pick of the draft for Warrick and Crittenton. “I think with the addition of Jamal and Rose we will be a new threat in the West and will be a surprise entry into the playoff this year.” When ask if he is expecting anymore moves he replied “At the moment no but we are under the salary cap and seems to have a weak front court we’ll see how that plays out and if we need help I got a few players in mind.”

Oct 31st 2007

Here we are at the Grizzlies opening game against Mr. Tim Duncan and the Spurs. The Grizzs will try and win their first game at home against a powerhouse team. Their starting lineup is as followed and our view of what he can do for the team:

C-Antoine Walker: A player known for being a forward but has been seen as a player who can also play C as he is quite big, he is getting old and the Grizz will soon look for a better center.

PF-Rudy Gay: A forward and guard you is bigger than the average small forward so he is capable of playing power, soon to be all-star.

SF-Jamal Crawford: A shooting guard usually but can really play both the point and small, good addition to any team, is a star in his own rights.

SG-OJ Mayo: The third overall pick by the Grizz, seen as a future star in this league and one of only 2 starters to actually play their right position.

PG-Derrick Rose: The number one pick by the Bulls, later traded to the Grizzs, is already a floor general and will have instant impact.

Well that’s our starting 5 and we’ll see you at the game tonight.

(I'll add pics of top plays tomorrow im tired lol, tell me what u think though)

Rose and Mayo’s NBA Debut, Jamal’s Grizzlies Debut….Lost
What a game is all I can possibly say the Grizzlies vs. the Spurs is an instant favorite for me, had me biting my nails to the last seconds.

The 1st quarter starting off bad for the Grizz after rookie Mayo scored the opening point. The Spurs would then go on a 7-2 until Jamal Crawford hits his 1st shot of the night and continue shooting bringing the score to 14-9. The Spurs would not give up as Tony Parker would run into the paint and draw fouls and points and added his teammates along the way. The Spurs would go on to win the 1st quarter 27-24.

As the second quarter started the coach decided it was best for rookie Rose to sit out the whole quarter which looking back might have been there downfall. While being on the bench Mike Conley hop in from the bench to gather up 12 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. During the quarter Gay would play his original position while Jamal and Mayo shared time at the SG position. The battle rages on and the Spurs win again this time 24-19.

The third quarter got under way and the Grizzlies are down by 8 points. The Grizzlies would go on a furious attack led by the Grizzlies big 3 of Gay, Jamal, and Mayo and with assist of fellow big Milicic and Haddadi, who both had a decent game. The third quarter was a quiet one as the Grizzlies took over 26-22.

The fourth quarter finally begins and both teams are going at each other like madmen. With 4 minutes left in the game Mayo would drive past his defender for a lay-up which pull the Grizzs up by 2 points. With the game tied up in the last 2 minutes Parker would lead the Spurs and make some important shots. With 5 seconds left Parker was fouled where he went on to miss both of his free throws and on the next possession Mayo was fouled and put in both his free throw pulling the score to 104-105. Duncan would pass the ball to Parker in the last 2 seconds who would immediately go into a shot to waste the remaining time to seal the game.

So the game was over 105-104, the Spurs took their 1st win as the Grizz lost their first of the season. Even though they lost we now see what they are capable off and can only hope they will win their next game.
