Grizzlies Fanatics!

The Grizzlies are in the playoffs!!! This is such a fun time of year for me as I really enjoy Grizzlies basketball and the thrill of watching the hometeam go as far as possible in the playoffs. The Grizzlies had their best season every winning nearly 60 games in the regular season. First round opponents were the LA Clippers. I was actually afraid to play the Clippers because I thought we were doomed. Soon into the playoffs, it was evident that it was going to a very physical series. Chris Paul was phenomenal and Blake Griffin was very aggressive with Z-Bo. We were down 0-2 when the series came to Memphis. Gary and I had floor seats as a birthday present for Gary for game 3. It was amazing. We had such a great time and could really get used to those seats....if only we had a sponsor!  We took the kids to game 4 and sat in the nosebleeds. We met some friends and sat just two rows away and enjoyed the blowout. Memphis went on to win 4 games in a row and take the series.

Round two brought on the Oklahoma City Thunder. This really scared me. Unfortunately for Oklahoma City, Russell Westbrook, one of their two stars, tore his meniscus (Gary was very familiar with that injury having endured that twice) and the Thunder limped into the series with the Grizzlies. I took Dad to a game which was so fun as Dad is an ultra fan like me and loves to yell at the refs. Gary and I attended the other home game in the series where the Grizzlies once again won 4 in a row and took the series after being down early.

so fun to see the city get excited the further the team advanced

Round three brought the San Antonio Spurs......not so fun for Grizzlies fans. Gary and I attended both home games and watched as our first Western Conference finals appearance turned ugly and the Grizzlies were swept 0-4.

Great season. I was ready for some sleep as most games started past 8pm and most were not on the weekend. We really had a great run and look forward to next season.



final game...memorial day....lost but so fun!!
