Memphis Grizzles in the playoffs

Last night the Memphis Grizzles beat the Mavericks to take the 7th spot in the NBA playoffs. The Memphis Grizzles had a rough start to the year. The Grizzles had to beat the suns at first to even take a spot in the playoffs. The grizz won over the suns 91-97. The Grizz needed to win just about every game since Feb. to get a spot in the playoffs. Mike Conlee said  "We've played every game like a playoff game. It's been fun to be part of a group that comes in and stays focused and to get back in the playoffs. It's huge from where we started off this season." The grizzles were 10-15 after a loss to Dallas. The suns had lost several games and lost another to go home. In this game Memphis took the biggest lead 31-44 while Randolph converted a 3 point play into half time. The suns haven’t been in the playoffs in 2010 when they had Steve Nash. The suns are the fifth team in history to win 47 games and not make it into a spot to play in the playoffs. These type games that you have to fight for a spot are at times harder then to win a championship game. The Memphis Grizzles will take on the OKC thunder for the first game of the playoffs Saturday night. The game will be held at OKC then back to Memphis a after the 2nd game. This will be an amazing first playoff game for these two teams.
