Good luck.

Powering up the bench

Memphis Grizzlies Signs F Linas Kleiza for a 2 year deal. Also acquiring Sean WIlliams for a 3 year deal.

The season has begun! Which is the main reason for the Memphis Grizzlies to start of the season with some huge signings. Acquiring Solid Big man Sean Williams. a former Back-up Center for the New Jersey Nets, Well he will be acquiring the same role here in Memphis and we'll be looking forward to his progress this season. The other acquisition is Long-Range shooting Big Man Linas Kleiza, Who has formerly averaging 11points, 4 rebounds of the bench for the Denver Nuggets, He sure will contribute alot too off the bench here in Memphis, and the Staff has high expectations off him.

Where is Allen?
Good luck.

Live 2004? Will follow if you add some screenshots; always nice to see an "old-school" dynasty.

I think he's using last year's 2009-2010 rosters, so no Tony Allen yet.

10/31/09
Boston (1-0) @ Memphis (0-0)
114 - 110


Rondo stuns the Grizzlies in a 114-110 victory in The Pyramid. In which he scored 23 Pts in 8/11 Shooting also grabbing 4 steals and dishing out 5 Assists.

Player Of the Game - Rajon Rondo

Boxscores
Memphis
Boston

Notable Players
Boston
Paul Pierce - 29 Pts in 11/18 Shooting in 23 minutes.
Ray Allen - 16 Pts | 2 Stls
Kevin Garnett - 7 Pts | 3 Blks | 4Reb | 3 Ast

Memphis
O.J Mayo - 30 Pts | 4 Ast | 2 Stl
Marc Gasol - 26 Pts in 11/13 Shooting, Also 5 Rebs | 3 Blks | 4 Ast
Linas Kleiza - 17 Pts in 15 minutes off the bench
Zach Randolph - 9 Pts | 6 Rebs | 2 Blks

Highlights


KG does what he does best, as he blocks Gay's Shot with 3 minutes left to play in the 4th quarter.


Kleiza fakes "Big Baby" Davis to get an easy hoop inside, his first FG as a Grizzly


Mayo tries to keep his team alive in the 4th quarter, with a huge slam for his 30th point of the night, but fell short as they lost 114-110

__________________________________________
Overall, it was a good game for me, we nearly had them as we outscored the Celtics to 7in the 3rd quarter, our largest lead of the night. The only downside in this game is our bad passing ability in the 2nd half, we gave around 9 Turnovers in the 2d half while the Celtic's only have 3, and Rondo and Pierce are both too hot to handle in the 4th quarter, and with Rudy gay with 5 fouls, we don't have a decent defender on Pierce, so yeah, It was a great start for our season.

The Move

Memphis Grizzlies Trade Guards Mike Conley and Jamaal Tinsley for Buck's Star Point Guard Brandon Jennings.

I think it was a good move in my part, i know there's still big potential in Conley plus also losing Tinsley in the process, but i am seeing bigger potential in Jennings, So i'll looking forward to his progress as the season goes on.

Starbury as a Grizzly

Memphis Grizzlies sign former All-Star PG - Stephon Marbury for a 2 year deal.

Just after acquiring Jennings, we took the big risk by trading both of our Guards, but worry no more, as Veteran Point Guard Stephon Marbury takes it back into the spotlight, as he sign for the team in a 2 year deal, We'll be expecting much off him from the bench as the season progresses.

Other Notable Transactions
Atlanta Hawk signs F - Josh Childress for a 1 year deal.
Washington Wizards signs F - Stromile Swift for a 1 year deal.
Milwaukee Bucks signs F/G - Desmond Mason for a 1 year deal.

Memphis (0-1) @ Houston (1-0)
118 - 85


Brandong Jennings had a huge debut as a Grizzly, Making 10pts in 4/6 Shooting, Dishing out 11 Assists, and grabbing 6 rebounds. This young fellow is demonstrating to us what he's all about.

Player Of the Game - Rudy Gay

Boxscores
Memphis
Houston

Notable Players
Houston
Aaron Brooks - 24 Pts | 7 Asts
Kevin Martin - 22 Pts | 8 Rebs | 3 Blks | 1 Stl | 5 Asts
Trevor Ariza - 15 Pts | 3 Stls | 4 Asts

Memphis
Rudy Gay - 27 Pts | 2 Stls
O.J Mayo - 21 Pts | 5 Rebs | 1 Stl
Marc Gasol - 19 Pts | 6 Rebs
Ronnie Brewer - 11 Pts | 3 Rebs | 3 Asts Off the bench
Zach Randolph - 9 Pts | 11 Rebs | 4 Stls

Highlights


Ariza starts off the 1st quarter with 2 back-to-back three's


Brewer slamming it down from both ends of the floor


Grizzlie's double teaming is working very well against the rockets

__________________________________________
At first, we we're trailing the rockets by 6 in the first quarter, due to Ariza's red hot start, and thats as far as they can get, as Mayo-Gay-Jennings trio started to burn in the 1st half. In the 2nd half, we continued our lead and went as far as a 32-point lead, biggest lead in the game. Our Big men duo Gasol-Randolph both combined for 15 points in the 2nd half, and 12 rebounds. Jennings went red hot on this one, same goes for Gay, who didnt did quite well in our previous game against the Celtics. While Starbury did'nt do quite well as expected, being scoreless but grabbing 4 rebounds. Overall, it was a very good game for us, despite our poor passing ability, and our capability of handing down lots of turnovers, it still went pretty good.

Wow, looking sweet And nice deal acquiring Jennings.

Wow, looking sweet And nice deal acquiring Jennings.

Thanks man!

Nice move to get Jennings and get rid of Conley. You'll have to change Jennings/Marbury's number, because they're both #3

Looks nice, good old times in Live 2004.....
Nice deal for you, you have a very strong roster.

Lol yup, just realized it and changed marbury's #, thanks.

Nice deal for you, you have a very strong roster.

Yup, tbh i think for me, '04's dynasty surpasses all, despite lacking alot of functions, such as rookie AS game, the slam dunk comp etc etc. but still, '04 is awesome and you know it.
Thanks!

Highlights


Tim: "Not tonight Rudy!"


Rudy: "Payback Time!"


Manu delivers a slam to Tie the game in the 3rd quarter.

__________________________________________
Overall, it was a bad passing game for me, We gave alot of turnovers away, and that cost us almost a loss. In the 1st quarter, the spurs were trailing us by 10, but then they still managed to chase us back due to our bad passing ability(Jenning with 8 TO). In the 2nd quarter its quite of a similar story, we get the lead by 6 until in the final moments of the 1st half the Spurs began to deliver huge threes to take the lead in the end of the first half. In the start of a second half was a shootout between Mayo and Manu, both were On fire as they began to shoot threes at each other. but yet again, Memphis prevailed at the end of the quarter and in the rest of game.

Rudy Gay - 18 Pts | 5 Rebs
Zach Randolph - 6 Pts | 9 Rebs | 4 Asts
Linas Kleiza - 7 Pts | 7 Rebs

Highlights


Brandon Roy [28Pts] vs O.J Mayo [32Pts]


Marcus says: "Not in my house!"


Gay with another huge slam.


Mayo hits a clutch jumper over Roy.

__________________________________________
We were close of losing this one, they were really into us in the 1st half, we trailed them by 11, but we kept attacking and attacking until we reduced the lead to 4 to end the 1st half. In the 2nd half, pretty much a different story, since Mayo started off firing threes and clutch jumpers all over the Rose Garden, and of course, the Hometown hero Brandon Roy also shows his clutch as the two began to have a huge shootout, Overall, i think we didn't do much team-play in this one unlike the previous games, Jennings barely had any assist, and so did the rest of the team. So hopefully we can improve in the future games to come.
