There's a couple things I'm looking for in this matchup:
Bounceback game for Diddy. The Pistons wouldn't let our perimeter do ANYTHING yesterday and we got creamed because of it. On the Grizzlies side of things Rudy Gay is about as dynamic as any young player in the league imo and I like watching him although he seems awfully lazy on the glass. He's fun when he has space to work so I hope we don't give him much. Due to the Gasol injury Hakim Warrick will get more PT. Those who are college basketball fans like me probably are fans of his, not sure anybody who strictly watches the NBA has interest in him but I think he could still be a very good player.
Defensive Notes: These are the two worst teams in the NBA in terms of PPGA.
Injury Notes: Pau Gasol has a jammed toe and may be out for a week, making a big difference in interior defense for the Grizzlies.

"We weren't ready to play, and we got our butts kicked," Warriors forward Stephen Jackson said. "This is definitely uncalled for - we're a professional team. This is terrible - you start a road trip and get blasted like this."
