Grizzlies Game

Tuesday evening, Charles got to enjoy his Valentine's present. Charles and I had dinner at the Neeley's Interstate Bar-B-Q then headed to the Fed Ex Forum...to watch the Grizzlies take on the Lakers in a re-match. It was a give-a-way evening, so we both got Grizzlies flags to wave! On our way to our seats, I ran into two Grizzlies players and just had to have my picture taken with them...


He, he, he! :)

Charles and I made our way down to our seats, which were great!
We made it just in time to watch the warm-ups... Our seats were on the visitor's bench end and close enough to really get a good look at the players. During warm-ups, we got a good look at Lamar Odom and the other Lakers...
and during the game, Charles got a great up close look at many of his fantasy basketball players.
After warm-ups, we listened to the boos as the L A Lakers were announced - I just had to join in on the boos for Kobe, that punk, and we joined in the cheering for the Memphis Grizzlies...The Lakers huddled around Phil Jackson...
and the Grizzlies got their last minute game plans in order...
Beginning with tip off,
it was such an exciting game...
At half-time we were entertained by a painter who painted to music - his painting of Randolph, complete with headband was actually pretty good, and at time-outs we were entertained by the Grizzlies dancers made up of kids, the Grizzlies mascot and even Jerry "The King" Lawler!


The Grizzlies played a good game, so there was a lot for me to cheer about...
Before the game was over, I made sure to get a picture of the Gasol brothers!
The Grizzlies were leading with just a couple of minutes to go, but missed free throws and untimely fouls led to a loss. Although the outcome wasn't what I had hoped for, we still enjoyed the game and had a fun evening!
