Put You Money Where Your Mouth Is

It’s funny what a few wins can do. One die hard Grizzlies fan, who after 3 wins in a row sit 4.5 games outside the 8^th seed has placed a monstrous $15k bet on his beloved ball club to make the playoffs in the West. Crazy right? GM Dunne seems to think so. “Haha I did read something about that this morning. I love our fans, we have the best fans in the world, but if I could give them some advice. I’d say save their money. We have had 3 fantastic wins in a row and without some key players. It is very satisfying to see the youngsters playing well and taking the game on, but at 8-20, the playoffs are the last thing on our mind. I think the unknown fan should have taken a holiday or bought a new car”

However, in an act of generosity that has quickly garnered the love of the fans for GM Dunne, if the Grizz don’t make the playoffs, he is going to track this fan down and allow him to shoot for his $15K back from halfway during half time of the last home game for the Grizz. “Absolutely” said GM Dunne. “We love his love for the club and we don’t want to see him lose his money without a fighting chance, so let’s get him to heave one up from half way and see what happens”

In more serious news, Coach Fizdale spoke of a few tweaks he has made this week and how happy he is to see them come off. “We changed the play book a little. Just a few tweaks, I don’t want to give away too much but with all our injuries we felt we needed to change something. We had a bad week last week, we’ve made an adjustment and we’ve responded well, it’s so pleasing to see as a coach.” Two players to benefit from the injuries and the changes to strategy are Troy Daniels and Nik Stauskas, both having break out weeks”
