I only saw part of the game, but Will looked like an NBA player. I hope he has a long career.

That wouldn't help. Once his metabolism slows down he will put on weight. Remember how skinny Keith Lee was? Once he put on the weight he was done; killed his knees. Basically the same thing happened with Penny. Danny Manning is another one.

That's just silly; weight had nothing to do with Penny's injury.

I'll trade with him.

Grizzles need to try and get Will Barton this off season...Kid is only getting better and better.....The World Is Ours Memphis....

It would be nice, but the Griz lately avoid connections with Tiger players as exhibited in the Evans/Thabeet fiasco and absence of any Tigers players now on the roster.

Wow

He's just freakin fearless and can maneuver around da big guys. His teammates really like him...they'll lob him the ball for dunks often enough.

He's one of those guys that has a nose for the ball. He's going to be close to the ball.

They appear to know their basketball though...

They seem to avoid a lot of good players.

Under new management now though. Some of the dumb moves that the Grizzlies got hammered for now aren't looking so bad. Take Conley with the 4th pick was pretty dumb according to a lot of people. Trade All-star Pau Gasol to the Lakers and get the rights to his brother. I remember Popovich saying that the NBA shouldn't have allowed such a stupid trade to happen. This also opened up cap room for Zbo. Grizzlies haven't drafted well except for Conley but they have done very well in the trade and free agent signing areas.

I just realized Will's team is in the playoffs. Sorry people, is has been a rough last 2 weeks for me, so please don't jump on me!

GO BLAZERS and WILL! GO GRIZZ!

Go CDR!! Go Will!

And the Bulls, so if Rose was healthy we would have three Tigers in the playoffs.

If, by some chance, the Grizzlies meet Portland in the Western Conference Finals, I hope the Griz destroy them. Doesn't matter who plays for Portland.

In sports...Grizzlies first, everything else second.

hah....we will all cross that bridgy when we come to it. Will hasn't even stepped foot on the court yet and it's doubtful he will be a factor should that happen.

But I do remember being part of a standing Forum ovation when Dorsey came to town and played against the Griz.

Who said anything about pulling for Portland?

I wish Tiger players all success against the Griz, except the final score.

I tried to stay awake for the second half of the Portland game, didn't miss much, did Will play at all last night?

Will had one part to play after yet another OT game. He took care of Mo Williams when Hardin attacked hah..This is a great replay of the very end of the game including OT for anyone who missed it. The game was a thriller.

I was impressed by Nicolas Batum #88 of the Trailblazers so I looked up his bio. Was acquired by Portland in a trade with Houston for Darrell Arthur and Joey Dorsey

What goes around comes around.
