My friend and I decided to get together to watch the Grizzlies-Spurs game and see Kyle Lowry from our alma-mater kick some ass.

Memphis Grizzlies basketball! Their pregame show is just downright frightening. Lights out, drummers with glow in the dark sticks, and guys jumping on trampolines and bounce sticks, straight out of Cirque de Soile.

They have pulled out all the stops, Michael Buffer doing the introductions. His career has come to this, doing introductions for Memphis Grizzlies basketball.

And the coach of the Grizzlies? Ichabod Crane! Jk, its Mark Iavoroni, funny because last year they had Tony Baroni and this year they have Marck Iavorni, thats a lot of roni.

Our announcing team for today? The Beverly Hillbillies.

Darko sporting a new haircut, hits the little baby hook, maybe he will make himself know this year.

"This is what basketballis supposed to look like" Matt said, "instead of the Sixers."

Just in case you're keeping score at home, it is the 7 minute mark of the first quarter and I have already watch more Grizzlies basketball than I have Sixers basketball this season.

Darko with a sick slam, wow! He looks like he bulked up, or maybe he just doesn't look gay anymore, I don't know.

Casey JAsconson enters the game, "They have some bad whites on the team", Matt says.

Maybe its the wide screen, but Darko is huge. That's what she said. "He's a big big guy, but more importantly hes long also", the announcer said, that is also what she said.

Two fouls on Gay, hes living up to the name I used to give him on UCONN, Rudy Disappear. Stromile Swift comes in, they are really bringing in the heavy artillery.

This announcer sounds like Ned Flanders!

Here comes Kyle Lowry!

Swift off the top f the backboard, nice.

Turnover by Stromile Swift, nice.

Lowry running down the floor, hes so fast, I miss him. Ned said, "There's fast, then there's scary fast". Apparently Lowry is scary fast.

For the record, they bring in Lowry and get the lead. Keep in mind, this will be a pattern.

We discuss tha tthis happend at Villanova. He brings a different energy level to a team. If you have never seen him play, you need to see this guy play.

$5 a game for Grizzlies tickets, I want to go to Memphis.

And your Sixers are down 79-60, this is why I am watching two innocuous teams.

Back to the game, looks like Lowry is still in, maybe Iavoroni realizes hes the guy who will help this team win.

Lowry with a slick move, to the line.

Makes them both.

Lowry with the tough basket streaking and with strength.
