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.
