The League is about to ship the product over to Berlin and London for 2 games between Magic and Grizz. I find the teams that make those trips abroad as the NBA ambassadors tend to tuck some key wins under their belt before they travel. This makes sense to me as the League wants them to have momentum and a product that is actually winning. Going back to teams that went to Mexico/Paris (Atl/Mia/Spurs/Orl/Nets etc..) even the bottom dwellers had significant wins before they left. Grizz need a significant win to get going the right way. I'm hoping it wasn't that game vs Spurs. Both Orl and Memphis play a matinee Sunday game before they board afternoon flights to Germany. You can't guarantee they show for those games as their thoughts will be elsewhere history shows that too and I'll bet those games accordingly Sunday. OKC has this lone road game and may not put in the necessary effort, and it feels like to me this is the spot Grizz tuck away that important win before getting ready to travel. Thunder could take out their frustrations on Memphis in which case I'm f'd but I can't pass up this opportunity.
