Ronald Tillery: re: Fizdale rant/fine: Mike Conley sent Fiz a ‘Thank you’ text Tuesday at 4 am, and said players will collectively reimburse Fiz.

Servicemaster offered to pay too. Hell he may end up making money off of his rant.

Didn't do too bad with G2 game notes - predicted Spurs would score 98 and win by 8, and Spurs scored 96 and won by 14 - so here are notes on Game 3:

* Stuck on 82 - Grizz have scored 82 points in first two games. If they can't get past 82, they are going to get swept.
* Can Grizz Continue G2 Momentum? - Grizz cut SA lead from 26 to 4 before losing by 14. Outscored Spurs 45 -40 in 2nd half.
* Starting Lineup - I wanted Ennis to start G2, but Fizz stuck with Selden. Predict that Ennis will start G3 and guard Kawhi, which will free Vince to score 15 points in G3.
* ZBo - ZBo went from a -39 in G1 to a +18 in G2, a positive 57 change in plus/minus.
* Wing Scoring - Ennis, Troy & Selden have a total of zero 3's made so far in the series. Troy hasn't scored a point.
* Fizz Rant - Grizz have been a poor 1st Quarter team all year, will the Fizz rant and possible lineup change help them to a good start in G3?
* Where is Chandler? - Bad look for Chandler not to be on the bench for the 1st 2 games. Will he be in Memphis for games 3 and 4?


Prediction: Maybe more heart than head, but Grizz win Game 3. Score: 92 -86.

The company I work for can't find 4 customers to take to tonight's game.

What do they sell? I might buy one for a ticket.

James Capers, Pat Fraher and Courtney Kirkland are the Spurs-Grizzlies Game 3 officials. Should be an interesting night in wake of Fiz rant.

After Q1 - Spurs 11 ft attempts, Griz 4 ft attempts

Yeah, seems to be evening out!


21-21...Go Griz!!!

And yet another BS foul on us....against Leonard

Geezus!

1:47 left in Q2

Griz 5 fouls

Spurs 0 fouls

Griz lead 50-46 at half

Shot 53%

GGG!

ZBO playing like old ZBO. Good on Fiz for starting him and Ennis tonight.

Great first half. Surely we'll break the 82 point barrier tonight.

Please no early 2nd half foul on Ennis, he is doing good work on Kawhi.

81-63 after 3

Crowd is loud!

GGG!

Sure as hell are not going to get Rooked tonight. Even though Spurs did not pic up first found in 2nd quarter until 10 seconds to go and that was intentional. Spurs STILL getting a lot of calls but team is pissed and playing like a pissed off team. Especially Z-Bo

Hey they found the black bear that was in Frayser.

1 less point through 3 quarters than we scored in both games 1 & 2.

Still nothing from Troy, has not scored in the series. Maybe if we have a big lead, he can get some shots up in garbage time.

He and Ginobli (0 pts) are equaling out

Need TD, but he is SO streaky
