Lionel Hollins first game back in Memphis. The Grizzlies will honor him before the game. This could be an important game. Win this one and the back to back tomorrow in OKC and the Grizzlies will go into the All Star break with 40 wins. Winning 40 would be a good thing since we will have 29 games remaining. 19 will be against teams over .500. We have 16 games on the road and 10 back to backs.

52-40 Grizz at the half.

Could have probably been more but eh I will take it.

It's now more.

Did Lionel get booed or standing O; or polite applause?
What was done to honor him?

God bless the Griz!

So nice to have watchable basketball in Memphis.

Gonna get the win...but a very poor finish by the Griz

Ran out to a 15 point lead mid 1st, pretty much maintained it the rest of the game.

they showed a tribute video...not sure of the crowd response.


Gasol's full court pass to TA for the layup was awesome

According to Calkins article in the CA...

Quote:But this one was all of that, as Hollins returned to FedExForum for the first time since he left the Grizzlies, and was given a video introduction, a rousing standing ovation and an emphatic 95-86 loss.
