GRIZZLIES RUMORS & GOSSIP
Hollins still considers season a success
When you blow a 27-point lead with 14 minutes to play in Game 1 of a playoff series on your home court and then battle from a 3-1 deficit to force a Game 7, again on your home court, and lose again, it's easy to say that your season was a flop.
But Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins doesn't think so even though his team was eliminated by the Clippers in seven games in the first...

Grizzlies disappointed after early playoff exit
The Memphis Grizzlies have learned a very hard lesson about the postseason. Putting together a magical run deep into the playoffs isn't as easy as they made it look a year ago.

Lionel Hollins Should Be Fired After Costing The Memphis Grizzlies Game 7
Lionel Hollins basically cost the Memphis Grizzlies Game 7 of their epic series against the Los Angeles Clippers and because of this, he should be fired. I have never seen a coach screw up his rotations so many times in crunch time.
In both Game 5 and 7, the Grizzlies fans were chanting for him to put a starter back in. In Game 7, Hollins took Zach Randolph out for about six...

Randolph pushes Grizzlies to Game 7
He hasn't been 100 percent -- he's still fighting through the torn MCL he sustained way back on Jan. 1.
He hasn't had the quickness in the moves or any hop in his jump shot, which didn't have much hop to begin with.
But on Friday at Staples Center in Game 6 of a first-round Western Conference series, with his team's season on the line, Grizzlies forward Zach...

Memphis Grizzlies: Can They Win The Series?
Marc Gasol celebrates after scoring (via ESPN)
The Memphis Grizzlies proved they weren't backing down easily last night. They came out and performed great, especially in the first half and they won game five, 92-80. The Clippers fought back in the second half, but injuries to Blake Griffin (sprained left knee) and Chris Paul (right hip) slowed them down. Though the game was...

Look at that kid. Awesome. After the Memphis Grizzlies faithful were forced to suffer through an implausible loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 when the team blew a 27-point lead in a devastating 99-98 loss, it is understandable that Grizzlies fans were primed for something good to happen heading into Game 2.

SIMPLE CHRONIC HALITOSIS?
Vince Carter's proximity disgusts Rudy Gay
Vince Carter pulled the old burp-n-blow on the Grizzlies Rudy Gay last night. Gay is waiting to inbound the ball. Carter approaches, like a lion stalking its prey. Gay, unexpecting, like a gazelle. Then it happens. Carter attacks, letting that burp go, and blowing in Gay’s face. Gay responds by half gagging, half wincing, followed by looking to the referee for help. Carter...

Gasol sits, but Grizzlies unfazed
When the Grizzlies found out that the only Grizzlies player that had started every game this season -- center Marc Gasol -- was going to sit on Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves with a sore ankle, no one in the Grizzlies locker room batted an eye.
"I don't think anybody said a word," Grizzlies guard Mike Conley said. "We're just kind of used to things...

Hollins sends Randolph to bench to help chemistry
Considering the Grizzlies had lost five of their last six games, including three straight on the road, coach Lionel Hollins wasn't afraid to shake up his rotation against the Lakers on the final stop of a four-game West Coast road trip.
So, he went back to the way the Grizzlies were when they didn't have Zach Randolph available because Randolph was hurt.
Hollins started...

NO CHANCE
Video: Chris Paul breaks Marc Gasol's ankles
Marc Gasol knew it was going to happen but he still tried to stop it. After Gasol forced to guard Chris Paul on a switch, CP3 absolutely lit up Gasol’s ankles with a great crossover. Gasol took it in stride but looked extremely silly.
