There is always a player or two whose eyes light up when they come to Target Center and the hoop seems a thousand times bigger when playing the Wolves.
Well...Kobi Simmons and Marshon Brooks combined for 45 points in 58 Minutes on 16-24 shooting in their last game against the Pistons. Memphis has some guys playing for their jobs and their careers. Memphis shot 33 three's and hit 16 of them in that game.
Have no fear, Thibs and his boys really know how to defend that three point shot!

We should be very, very afraid.
On the other hand Q it's also worth noting in that Pistons game Gasol played 35 minutes and had a near triple double (20/9/9) while scoring 20 points including 3/6 on 3's. Memphis is a lot less scary when he isn't playing because the other bigs likely just aren't that good. Towns SHOULD have a field day.
I'd be lying if i said i wasnt concerned tonight. With the Grizzlies benching most of their talent, i worry our guys come out flat because they think it'll be a cakewalk.
