We ended up being really close to the action on the court! This meant that we got an up close view of Blake Griffen warming up... 
I was just waiting to see him dunk! First though, we had to watch practice free-throws... 
perimeter shots, jump shots and lay-ups. Then he left the court, and I was disappointed. The Grizzlies took the court for warm-ups...
and we got to see Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, O J Mayo, Darrell Arthur, Sam Young, Tony Allen and the rest of the Grizzlies warm up...
The Clippers came back onto the court...

The Clippers came back onto the court... 
and I finally saw Blake Griffen at least leave his feet (although still no dunks)...
I would love to know just what all the opposing players say to each other before the game!
Through out the warm-ups, everyone had their cameras out and were waiting on a dunk...
and we finally saw one!!
After the dunk, Griffen hung on and swung from the hoop - that's the best!

it was time for some basketball!
From tip-off...
to the end of the game, the Grizzlies played well!
They played really good defense too...
We really liked our seats which were just a little to the side of behind the basket. We were really able to see the free-throws...
and the expressions on the players faces...
and were really close to all the scuffles for the ball!
I love watching Z-Bo (and his headband)...

and we got to see Shane Battier back in action with the Grizzlies!
It was a fun game to watch...
with lots of scoring and lots of defensive plays...

and just a little time standing around...
During pre-game and during half-time, kid teams played. They had some really good little ballers! Especially 2 for the blue team - he was making great shots and making some good defensive plays...

After the half, the Grizzlies continued to play well...
Since we were only 5 or 6 rows back...
we got to see all of the Grizzlies up close...
The bench played really good too, so we got to see some good plays by Ish, Haddadi, Vasquez, Powe and the others.
After that dunk, a vehicle was brought out and driven under the goal...
and Super Grizzlie dunked right over it!
Of course, the crowd erupted! We think that Super Grizzlie did way better than Blake Griffen does in his commercial! It was really funny to watch Griffen after that dunk - he just shook his head and kept a blank look on his face!

Well, the Grizzlies played really well defensively and all first half, Griffen had no dunks. During the second half as I was looking down at my program, I heard Charles and the rest of the area explode. Blake Griffen had finally dunked! Not only did I not capture the dunk with my camera , I had missed it entirely! (I was really upset that I missed it, so after we got home, Charles watched SportsCenter, Highlight Express, NBA network until they finally showed the dunk so that I could see what I missed!)
Even though I missed Blake Griffen's dunk, I did catch the funniest dunks of the evening!
Super Grizzlie came out during a time out and dunked for us...
