Written by Matt Moore on Friday, November 20, 2009 Fine, so the Memphis Grizzlies apparently had one of these meetings after the Houston debacle.

The Philadelphia 76ers are still trying to absorb the nuances of first-year coach Eddie Jordan's Princeton-esque offense, and perhaps no player is struggling more than third-year forward Thaddeus Young , the former Mitchell High standout.

NBA star O.J. Mayo has donated 500 turkeys and 500 hams so 1,000 Huntington area families could have a better Thanksgiving.

The season is not even a month old, and already 76ers coach Eddie Jordan has called his team out twice for either being too soft or for 'playing as individuals.' Maybe some of this was to be expected.

Grizzlies-Clippers: Two storied franchises face off in a bitter grudge match. 1. One to Get: The Grizzlies finally got a win Saturday over the Minnesota Timberwolves after a demoralizing seven-game losing streak.

In this Nov. 6, 2009, file photo, Memphis Grizzlies' Allen Iverson brings the ball upcourt against the Los Angeles Lakers during an NBA basketball game in Los Angeles.

The surprising Milwaukee Bucks hit the road after a very successful homestand Saturday when they face the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum.

Vince Carter scored 26 points, Rashard Lewis had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and the Orlando Magic beat the Boston Celtics 83-78 on Friday night.

Ralph Lawler hadn't missed a Clippers broadcast in 25 years. Not for a cold or flu or even a kidney stone attack.

It didn't take the Memphis Grizzlies long to forget about Allen Iverson. And there shouldn't be much of A.I. left to remind the franchise of their dreadful mistake, which lasted less than a month.

The Memphis Grizzlies hope to extend their season-high winning streak to three games this evening, when they pay a visit to the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wachovia Center.

The 76ers ' record, while not overwhelming by any means, is deceptive. After Wednesday night's 86-84 win over the Charlotte Bobcats , coach Eddie Jordan joked about beating someone other than the New Jersey Nets or New York Knicks.

Allen Iverson has cleared waivers and is free to sign with any NBA team. The 34-year-old former MVP was waived Tuesday after playing only three games with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Allen Iverson is gone. The Grizzlies' 2009-10 season is over before it even began.

Allen Iverson, all-star basketball player, seems unhappy once more, even though he's the one who wanted a trade to the Detroit Pistons.

Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph scored 21 points apiece and the Memphis Grizzlies won their second straight, 106-91 over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.

When the Grizzlies and Timberwolves face off tonight, there are few match-ups that you should focus on when these juggernauts face off.

Grizzlies vs. Los Angeles Clippers; FedExForum, 7 p.m. TV, radio: Fox Sports Tennessee, WRBO-FM Records: Grizzlies, 2-8. Clippers, 4-7. Lineups Grizzlies: Mike Conley, 6-1, O.J.

I think Mayo would have benefited greatly had Memphis been able to bring in a veteran during the off-season that could provide stable leadership.

The Memphis Grizzlies officially have ended their relationship with Allen Iverson by waiving the 10-time All-Star. The Grizzlies announced Monday they had mutually agreed to end a one-year contract with the former league MVP.
