Re: thoughts on Grizzlies loss

Did Randy Brown re-injure himself?  Kenny just can not cut it in the last
few minutes defensively against strong point guards.

Wide disparity at the free throw line also.  Howard and Max were all over
the refs several times.  Were all of Pierce's fouls legit?

Cecil (who gives us a chance against the Sonics)
