No one will want to sit down to take a rest as the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Memphis Grizzlies again defended their home court as they upsetted the defending Los Angelas Lakers last night. The Lakers had a chance to win but Ron Artest missed the shot. I think that the Lakers didn't really go to their game of inside then out becase Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, and Andrew Bynum only combined for 19 points, which sucked because that's why I didn't hit my over last night. Pau Gasol only attempted 7 shots while Bynum went 1/3 and Lamar Odom just had a bad shooting night. However, Kobe Bryant was up to his old self, dropping 44 points as he became the new all time leading scorer for the Los Angelas Lakers, congrats and much props to Kobe!

The Grizzlies are really playing good basketball right now. If the playoff started today, the Grizzlies are tied for the 8th seed with Oklahoma City Thunder in the tought Western Conference. Sometimes I still wonder why the Grizzlies are in the Western Conference, because they're located in Tennessee. They should be an East Coast team and easily make the playoff. The Cavaliers are still without Mo Willliams and Delonte West is listed questionable for tonight's game. Unless LeBron James goes nuts for 40+ points, or all of his supporting cast is having a hot night, I see the Grizzlies keeping this game tight. The Grizzlies are
