Grizz at Nets- Keys to the Game

Needless to say, tonight is a must win. The Nets have only won 5 games, and the Grizz must not be #6. The Grizzlies have dropped eight of 10 to fall out of playoff position after a 15-4 run. They have endured a drastic decrease in offensive production over that 10-game span, scoring 95.3 points per game after averaging 106.7 in the previous 19. The Grizzlies may have an ideal chance to regain their offensive spark against New Jersey, which has dropped six in a row at home and is giving up 101.2 points per game.

There is no doubt the Grizz are the better team and are supposed to win the game. Therefore, my keys to the game are simple:

1. Score 100+ points. The Nets are giving up 101+ a game, and we need to get our offense back on track. Tonight is the night to do it

2. Defensive energy. The only way to lose this game is to not play any D and let the Nets score in the 100's.

Those are my two keys. Let's hope the squad doesn't have a melt down after the tough loss at home Friday. We need a win, and there is no better team to get one versus than New Jersey. The Grizz need to show some maturity and take care of a team that isn't on the same level.

Let's Go Grizz!
