Couple things before we start: 1) Hope you are enjoying the playoff preview podcasts so far and big thank you to everyone who appeared.  We have a couple more series to “preview,” but I have some ideas to make them fun.  Stay tuned.  2) Keep your eye on the site around 11 am today.  There’s some hot Derrick Rose-related shit coming. 3) Seriously, thanks to everyone for reading.

Grizzlies Perfect Evening Grinds to a Halt (from The Commercial-Appeal)
What. The. Fuck. Happened.  Really Grizzlies?  This is what you come out and do in the fourth quarter? YOU WERE UP 24 POINTS!!!!  I WAS WATCHING AND DECIDED TO GO TO BED!!! HOW COULD YOU?!?!!?

Clippers Stun Grizzlies to Take Game One (from NBA.com)
So yeah, in case you went to bed like me… this is what the fuck happened.  Wait?  Swaggy P was the leading scorer for the Clippers?  Mind = Blown.

Maturity, Tanking, and Ideas of Consequence (from Gothic Ginobili)
I have mixed emotions about this piece.  On one hand I am mad because GG beat us to the punch.  IGHN hasn’t had the best relationship with Hoop Idea so far, so we’ve been batting around a piece trashing it.  On the other hand, Alex actually slaughtered this thing.  Like crushed it.  It’s the definitive piece on the issue.  So bravo, gentlemen.  We’ll get you next time.
